Even though Xiaochen and Xiaoqian were her confidants and Xiaochen, despite her gossip-loving nature, knew when to keep her lips sealed, she didnât want to mix her personal affairs with her professional ones.
Lu Weixi was getting extremely anxious, but the more anxious she got, the tighter Qin Zhiyou held onto her arm, refusing to let go.
As Xiaochenâs footsteps and confused voice got nearer, asking, âLu, are you out there, Lu?â
When her shadow reached the doorway, becoming clearer and clearer, Lu Weixiâs heart almost lept into her throat. Fortunately, Qin Zhiyouâs assistant was quick on his feet. Seeing that there was no response from his boss, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Xiaochen back, saying, âMiss Chen, thereâs something over here I donât quite understandâ¦â
And so, he guided Xiaochen away. Lu Weixi breathed a sigh of relief, but the man in front of her persisted.
Lu Weixi was frightened by his actions. Knowing that beyond the wall were Xiaochen and Xiaoqian, she didnât dare to make too big of a fuss. She whispered into his ear, âQin Zhiyou, this is enough. What do you want before you can let go?â
Qin Zhiyou seemed to seriously consider her question, then finally replied affirmatively, âIf you promise to wear that nightgown tonight, Iâll let goâ¦â
Lu Weixi was puzzled for a moment, wondering what âthat nightgownâ was. Suddenly, she remembered the nightgown and her face turned red, âYouâ¦â
After tricking her into wearing the leopard-print nightgown, the next day the maid brought her familiar pajamas. Qin Zhiyou was away on a business trip for a few days during which she gradually forgot about this incident.
Who knew heâd come back and demand she wears it again? How could she handle this?
This jerk! It was as if he was holding her hostage. Lu Weixi clenched her fists, reluctantly agreeing, ââ¦Fine.â
Only then did Qin Zhiyou look pleased. He turned around and chastised her, âYou should not be taking on projects so casually.â
âWhen did I take it casually?â She didnât forget her original mission. Plus, her work couldnât always involve large projects like Siyi Company. Even if she secured them due to her skills, without the help from Qin Zhiyou, she wouldnât have gotten them. She didnât want to reach for the stars.
âA personâs energy is limited. If you take on repetitive work in large quantities, it will damage your imagination.â
Qin Zhiyou said this very earnestly on purpose, thinking that his future wife shouldnât work too hard and should save some time to have kids and spend time with him. Why should she run all over the outside world for a project worth a few thousand or tens of thousands, and have to follow up for months?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, his words hit the nail on the head for Lu Weixi.
The Siyi project opened a door for her, and her aim was to become a world-class designer. She shouldnât be stuck in small projects. She should strive to improve if she did not possess the required skills.
Qin Zhiyou achieved his aim finally let go of her as he promised to. It so happened that his secretary Wang also called at that moment. The representative of the steel company was there to discuss cooperation, asking him to come over.
But, Lu Weixi clearly saw the representative of the steel company wearing high heels, with her skirts fluttering.
Is it a woman?
