After their engagement, he didnât get particularly close to Fang Rushuang. Forget touching her, there wasnât any kind of unnecessary physical contact at all. At most, he was just a bit friendlier and gentler with her in the office. There wasnât even a need to pick her up or drop her off since he was busy, he never asked her out, either.
The only change wasâsince he was engaged to Fang Rushuangâhe didnât need to keep the company of other women for appearances anymore.
So, from an outsiderâs perspective, he showed respect towards Fang Rushuangâit was definitely not something he would do for other girls. Moreover, there were no more successive series of girlfriends. Fang Rushuang had chased him for three to four years and she was quite pleased with the way things were now. This at least demonstrated that Qin Zhiyou was serious about having a future with her.
It wasnât Lu Weixiâs fault, it was his. He was the one who had gotten engaged to Fang Rushuang even though he wasnât particularly interested in her. He kept leading her on, causing her to bear the stigma of being the Mistress.
However, it could be said that had he not been Fang Rushuangâs boyfriend, Lu Weixi might not have looked to him the night she broke up with Qin Zhigu. The cruellest thing was that the day after it had happened, he deliberately called Rushuang and Fang Zheng over in order to catch him in the act. In front of everyone, he concluded the relationship for good. After that incident, even if it came to being up against the Fang and Bai families, Lu Weixi had to hold her nose and be his girlfriend. That led to the later events.
âIf Du Sui dare to insult you ever again, you donât have to be polite to her. My relationship with Fang Rushuang is a thing of the past. Plus, back then, it was me who kept pursuing you. I had let her down, not you.â
âMmm.â Lu Weixi nodded. She didnât say anything more, went back to the room with him and headed to the airport.
All the way, Qin Zhiyou noticed that her mood was still a little low. He reached out to take her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.
Lu Weixi turned her head to look at him. Qin Zhiyou extended his arm, and though Lu Weixi hesitated a bit, she finally laid her head against his shoulder.
âWill we⦠be happy?â
Although it was a sentence of affirmation, there was an added hint of uncertainty at the end.
The plane took off, quickly flying towards the distance.
â
Back at the hotel.
After getting her stuff, Lu Weixi promptly left the room. Only Xue Feifei and Yu Sixing were left.
With her head lowered, the beverage in Xue Feifeiâs hands had long since become lukewarm. Yu Sixing stood up, fetched another can for her and put it in her hand, âThank you.â
Both remained silent again. Although they were now boyfriend and girlfriend, when you came right down to it, aside from the time spent working in the evenings, there was almost no interaction between them.
They were unfamiliar with each other, had only met a few times, and didnât know what to say.
A moment later, seeing her constantly switching hands to hold the can, Yu Sixing guessed that the drink was probably too cold and finally spoke, âHere, let me.â
Xue Feifei refused: âNo need, I can do it myself.â
âItâs alright, didnât you help me out last night too?â Yu Sixing took the drink from her, sat next to her, and helped her roll it on her face.
Xue Feifei then found a topic to talk about: âHow was your visit to the hospital?â
Having been kicked to the point of immobility the night before, she wondered how he was doing now.
Considering what happened today, her face still slightly swelled and hurt from the slap she received, though the consequences were not serious.
