Chapter 1034: Chapter 1036: Catching a Cold (4) Chapter 1034: Chapter 1036: Catching a Cold (4) Lu Weixi was surprised to see him pulling a suitcase out, “You just got back?”
Qin Zhigu nodded, “Yes, Paul just said today he wanted to et with the interior designer. He’s worried about communicating with you. You know, he does look a bit unkempt and isn’t very good at speaking. If it weren’t for his personality offending the Arican company’s boss, he wouldn’t have been fired. It was I who introduced him here.”
Lu Weixi nodded. Paul was indeed disheveled, with ssy hair, a scruffy beard, and his clothes all over the place, the very image of a destitute artist. He spoke bluntly and got incredibly excited the mont a professional topic ca up. But outside his area of expertise, he would beco much more taciturn. No wonder Qin Zhigu would always accompany him, fearing they might end up in an argunt.
“He’s a good person, and it’s common for designers to have their quirks. I can understand that.”
They discussed work matters, and then there was another mont of silence between them. Although Qin Zhigu showed no hint of flirty emotions today, it was still a little awkward when just the two of them were together.
“Are you going ho?”
After a long while, it was Lu Weixi who broke the silence and spoke first.
Qin Zhigu was taken aback, then nodded, and then shook his head. He laughed bitterly, “Actually, I was planning on staying in a hotel.”
Lu Weixi also nodded, “Indeed. With that person there, it is indeed inconvenient.”
“Cai Yiren?” By now, ntioning this na that once caused their breakup and was incredibly awkward, Qin Zhigu did it much more naturally.
Lu Weixi said nothing, just smiled wryly.
As they were speaking, small snowflakes began to fall from the sky, which soon grew larger and fluttered down heavily.
Christmas was approaching, and the museum was in the city center, not far from a large shopping mall. Although separated by an intersection and a short stretch of road, one could still see the large Christmas tree placed in front of the mall to attract custors, and Christmas carols could be heard. The snow added to the festive atmosphere.
Perhaps it was a bit windy when it snowed, and Lu Weixi, who hadn’t slept well the night before and was now feeling a bit of a cold coming on, was accustod to traveling by car and having heating indoors and hadn’t felt the cold at all. But now, standing on the roadside, a gust of wind made her instantly shiver.
Qin Zhigu saw her sneeze, dressed sowhat thinly, and instinctively took off his coat, about to drape it over her. Lu Weixi realized this and felt it wouldn’t be good for him to put his coat on her. Qin Zhigu also felt a little embarrassed and said, “I see you seem to have a cold. I’m quite warm, so just wrap yourself with the coat.”
After Qin Zhigu finished, both of them paused for a mont, as they used to do the sa when they were dating. Lu Weixi loved to look good and wore little in the winter, so every ti they went out, Qin Zhigu would dress warmly, and eventually, the coat was left for her. In the end, he would catch a cold himself, while Lu Weixi remained lively and energetic.
Both of them tacitly avoided bringing up the past. Right now, Lu Weixi just shook her head, “No worries, I’ll be in the car and off in a mont.”
Qin Zhigu graciously withdrew his hand, not insisting any further.
While they stood at the door, Xiaochen happened to co out of the building and was startled to see them, “Lu, Mr. Qin. Haven’t left yet?”
Lu Weixi nodded. Xiaochen said with a smile, “You two should be heading ho together, right? After all, you’re family.”
