Chapter 1163: Chapter 1165: Threat (3) Chapter 1163: Chapter 1165: Threat (3) Qin Zhiyou’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he still stood by the door, remaining silent throughout. Lu Weixi gathered her docunts and personal items, picked out a few pieces of seasonal clothing, and packed them into an inconspicuous small bag that, from the outside, really disguised its contents.
Lu Weixi quickly realized she also needed to tidy up so docunts in the study, which ant she had to leave the bedroom and go there. But there was one thing in her way. Qin Zhiyou was standing by the door.
She set down her small bag and headed straight to the door. Qin Zhiyou stood motionless, but as she passed by, he suddenly reached out, grabbing her arm.
Lu Weixi paused for a mont. Qin Zhiyou’s fingertips were cool, and his grip was gentle, more a barrier than a forceful retention. She did not react violently or even look at him; instead, she kept her gaze fixed on the door and asked indifferently, “Do you need sothing?”
Only then did Qin Zhiyou glance at her face. Lu Weixi was turned sideways, not even sweeping her gaze over him, seeming as distant as if they were strangers, not husband and wife.
Qin Zhiyou remained silent. Actually, he hadn’t ant what had transpired that afternoon; he wanted to have a word with her but feared her cold reaction. After much deliberation, he had enlisted Xiaochen and Secretary Wang as interdiaries. If it had been just Secretary Wang delivering the ssage, perhaps Lu Weixi might not have responded at all. But with Xiaochen involved, she would at least reply a sentence or two and not act as if she didn’t recognize him.
His intentions had been purely simplistic initially, but he inadvertently hit a nerve with Lu Weixi, triggering her explosive reaction. Her anger, compounded by the involvent of two middlen, had left him panicking and unsure of what to say. In a rush to speak, he ended up ntioning her mother, thinking her mother’s illness was a concern of hers and would evoke so restraint from her. Little did he know, it would unleash all her pent-up emotions, and now, they were not just enemies, but more like arch-enemies.
Qin Zhiyou opened his mouth as if to say sothing, but found himself at a loss for words. He seed to have only made things worse, and increasingly so.
anwhile, Lu Weixi, without even looking at him, rembered sothing, “Oh, by the way, thank you for your concern regarding the hospital previously, that won’t be necessary anymore. I’ve contacted my mother and spoken to Doctor Zhao. Once her condition improves, I will arrange her discharge myself.”
Her acknowledgnt of thanks sounded more like a severance of ties with each additional word. Qin Zhiyou felt increasingly choked up. He didn’t know how to explain. After all, any explanation would, at best, improve her attitude towards him slightly, but she was resolute about the divorce. What difference did it make?
“Ah, right,” Qin Zhiyou remained silent, but Lu Weixi had more to add, “When I’m ho, although we still have to live together and it isn’t public, I can pretend we haven’t divorced outside, but I can’t pretend to be affectionate. You shouldn’t force . Until we are officially divorced, if it’s really necessary to live together, I’d ask for so respect. By law, we are now under special circumstances, and you can no longer have any intimate contact with . Not that you would need to, given you have so many confidantes. Also—”
Lu Weixi said this and then promptly grabbed his wrist, forcefully pulling it down from her own, “Going forward, let’s minimize such contact. We will have no relation anymore.”
