Chapter 470: Chapter 471: Don’t Want to Part with You (1)
Lu Weixi stared blankly at her reflection in the mirror. Qin Zhiyou glanced down, his eyes level with hers in the mirror.
The two of them looked at each other through the mirror, and for a mont, Lu Weixi’s mind went blank. She opened her mouth, intending to say sothing, but when she tried to speak, nothing ca out.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhiyou cupped her chin, turning her face towards him, and leaned in.
They hadn’t been intimate in quite so ti. Initially, it was because they had been too busy. Then it was because of the incident with Liu Yiyi. She had hardly been able to contain her anger at him, not to ntion muster any affection. Now, with her mother critically ill, even though she had regained consciousness, her troubles multiplied and lood like dark clouds over her heart.
Qin Zhiyou’s arm curled around her from behind, resting upon her shoulder blade. He scarcely dared to look up at his own reflection in the mirror.
Lu Weixi remained silent, her thoughts in a whirl, unsure of how to respond.
As the two of them silently observed their images in the mirror, after what seed like an eternity, Lu Weixi finally spoke ambiguously, “I don’t know…”
She understood that her mother was just looking out for her. She had her reservations and knew she shouldn’t go against her mother’s wishes, so as not to exacerbate her condition.
But on the other hand…
“What do you an you don’t know? Look, your mother still needs treatnt, and you have to work. I understand that your mother is upset with because of my past mistakes, and is understandably emotional. But now is not the ti to act on emotions. Haven’t I already promised that there won’t be anyone else in my life again? I know it’s hard for your mom to trust , but I did promise in front of my grandfather.”
Lu Weixi was a bit flustered. She gave an affirmative “hmm”, but when Qin Zhiyou saw that she did not directly respond, he continued, “Also, my grandfather really likes you. Your father is always creating trouble. If you break up with at this ti, they might continue to co after you and your mother.”
Lu Weixi, of course, knew this. She was grateful for Grandfather Qin’s kindness towards her. But Bai Changyou was indeed a major concern.
If they divoce, even if Qin Zhiyou continues to cooperate with the Bai family, it would be the least of her worries. The most important thing was, without Qin Zhiyou, Bai Changyou and others would take advantage of the situation, humiliating her and her mother without restraint. She could bear it, but what about her mother?
This ti, her mother fell ill; although most of it was due to Qin Zhiyou’s actions, fundantally, it was because of Bai Changyou. It was thanks to Hanhai Corporation that Bai Changyou had to behave in front of Qin Zhiyou. But to deal with her and her mother, he was practically untamable.
After pondering over a multitude of reasons, Lu Weixi realized there was still one question that lingered in her heart. She raised her head slightly, looking at Qin Zhiyou in the mirror, then quickly dropped her gaze to the lace on the hem of her skirt, “Is there another reason?”
For instance, because he loved her or sothing similar.
Another reason?
Qin Zhiyou thought for a mont before answering, “I, too, don’t want to divorce you.”
