Chapter 861: Chapter 863: Entering the Room (9)
Qin Zhigu smugly waited for Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou to show up, knowing that when they did, it would be after his own official announcent!
However, from afternoon until evening, and even after dinner was served, Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi hadn’t returned at all.
In the Qin Family, Qin Zhiyou had never been the popular one; whether he ca back or not, no one would ask. Qin Zhigu was starting to get anxious. He kept watching the front gate and listening intently for any sign of their arrival.
Not long after the incident with Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou, Fang Rushuang called off their engagent. Moreover, when Qin Zhiyou went to ask for forgiveness, he ended up having tea splashed on his face by Fang Zheng and returned ho with his hair drenched. At the company, Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia made things difficult for him, transferring him to a struggling subsidiary. Since then, he’d hardly returned to the Qin family mansion, swamped with work at the subsidiary. It’s not to say he had ti to hang around Lu Weixi to show his face, nor curry favor with Lu’s mother. Even taking a day off yesterday to spend with Lu was squeezed out of his tight schedule. But perhaps that worked in his favor, as rushing to show his face to Lu Weixi after affirming their relationship could have caused Lu Weixi to find him annoying and avoid him.
Normally, no one cared if he didn’t return, but today, Qin Zhigu was visibly concerned. After checking the door for the nth ti, Kong Jie asked, “Is sothing bothering you that needs to be done?”
“No, nothing.” He shook his head, ca back to his senses, and ate his al properly.
After dinner, as usual, Grandpa Qin called him and Cai Yiren over for a chat. Qin Zhigu was sowhat distracted, responding in a sporadic and half-hearted manner. Cai Yiren, on the other hand, was utterly enchanted by him, her deanor not as bold and cheerful as Lu Weixi’s, and she appeared sowhat timid. But when the elder Mr. Qin asked them, “Are you two seriously together?”
Qin Zhigu imdiately puffed out his chest and responded, as sonorous as a bell, “Of course we are.”
So, Elder Mr. Qin said no more. After all, it was just dating. These youngsters today, ‘madly in love’ with one person today and switching to a new one tomorrow, and the day after back with a third party. Such things were not uncommon. As long as they weren’t yet at the point of getting a marriage certificate, they were free to do as they pleased. He just hoped they wouldn’t get involved with any inappropriate or disreputable won.
After Qin Zhiyou returned, Qin Zhigu’s gaze involuntarily drifted to the front gate again – Qin Zhiyou had not co back.
By nine o’clock in the evening, as Cai Yiren prepared to leave and there was still no sign of them, she ntioned, whether intentionally or not, “I guess they’ve probably stayed out overnight.”
At the ntion of “staying out overnight,” that sensitive chord inside Qin Zhigu was struck again, and he couldn’t help but recall the scene when he barged in on them together. And also last night, today, they were together, they should have…
He imdiately invited, “Yiren, do you have ti tomorrow? Would you like to co and keep company?”
Before Cai Yiren had a chance to answer, her mother eagerly nodded, “Yes, of course. They have just started dating and can’t bear to be apart; I understand.”
Only then did Cai Yiren shyly nod, “If it wouldn’t inconvenience you.”
“Not at all. I hope you can co.” He hoped even more that when they returned, they would see the sight of Cai Yiren with him. He wanted to proudly announce to them that Cai Yiren was now his significant other, rightfully and officially his girlfriend.
So, Cai Yiren ca over for three days. For three days, neither Qin Zhiyou nor Lu Weixi returned.
Until the evening of the third day.
