Qin Zhiyouâs body didnât move much, but being so close, she clearly saw his eyelashes tremble slightly.
âIf I knew that Simon White was him, I wouldnât have expended so much effort on the Siyi Companyâs bid,â said Lu Weixi with a bitter smile.
Even though she could let go, if she didnât get the Siyi Companyâs project, there would always be other opportunities. But the effort she had put in couldnât be retrieved. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDid you enter the bidding for Mr. Liaoâs project?â Qin Zhiyou asked, slightly surprised. He had also heard about Siyi Companyâs call for proposals for the new building and knew Simon White had been chosen as the architectural designer. However, he didnât expect that his wife also had interest in this project.
âYes,â Lu Weixi nodded, then laughed at herself mockingly, âI didnât expect him to be Simon White.â
âYouâre interested in that project?â The moment the words were out of Qin Zhiyouâs mouth, he wished he could slap himself. What was he thinking? Was he trying to push his wife towards Qin Zhigu, to collaborate with him in the future?
âYes, I am interested, but I donât want to work with him. And also,â Lu Weixi started, then laughed coldly, âPerhaps, he has found a better candidate,â like Cai Yiren.
Qin Zhiyou fell silent for a moment, thought hard, then looked up: âIf you ever need a projectâ¦â
Lu Weixi immediately shook her head, âNo need. I havenât fallen so low to need you to supply me with projects. I want to rely on my own strength, not pull strings.â
Qin Zhiyou thought she was being a little naive, âButâ¦â
âZhiyou, I get what youâre saying. If I were to depend on the Hanhai Group, my work would certainly be much easier, and the pay much higher,â Lu Weixi sternly shook her head. The Hanhai Group was into real estate development, shedding a few projects could make her rich.
But.
âAs a designer, too comfortable an environment would kill my creativity. I hope also, that you wonât interfere with my work.â she said seriously, âAnd besides, arenât you a penny-pincher? Giving me so much money isnât like you, is it?â Her words made Qin Zhiyou realize, and his expression instantly grew stern. He is stingy. She has always known that!
âOf course, if I canât make it someday, I hope you could look after my mother for old timesâ sake.â If it werenât for the current circumstance, she wouldnât have wanted to degrade herself like this. Her mother was her lifelong soft spot, so she hoped Qin Zhiyou could shoulder some responsibilities.
Was this her stepping back? A reconciliation and heart-to-heart between the couple?
Even though Qin Zhiyou was well aware that, at this moment, Lu Weixi still held no love for him. But her willingness to lay her cards on the table for him to judge was already a big step.
Exactly, she now has no family to depend on. Without opportunities, surrounded by enemies, despite having the ability in work, she could only count on him and her identity as Mrs. Qin.
âOK,â he nodded almost immediately without any hesitation, adding, âBut tonight, you have to move into my room.â
Since he had discovered it, it would have happened sooner or later. Lu Weixi also didnât hesitate and nodded immediately.
The two got up, tidied a bit, and Lu Weixi followed him to suite number one.
Perhaps due to the argument they just had, or because they had cleared the air, she felt exceedingly comfortable there and slept until broad daylight.
Early the next day, Qin Zhiyou dressed her up beautifully, to meet Qin Zhigu.
