Qin Zhiyou turned over and mumbled, “Sleep.”

Lu Weixi didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until she heard Qin Zhiyou’s steady breathing.

After a while, she finally fell asleep.

With Lu Weixi asleep, Qin Zhiyou found himself wide awake again. He turned to look at the sleeping woman’s face and felt a fresh surge of anger.

The next day.

When Lu Weixi woke up, Qin Zhiyou had just gotten up and was sitting on the edge of the bed changing his clothes. He didn’t turn to acknowledge her when he heard her stirring. Once he was dressed, he left to wash up in the bathroom. She did the same, quietly dressing herself. When she headed to the bathroom after dressing, Qin Zhiyou was just coming out.

They met face-to-face once more, yet there was no sense of the closeness from the night before. In the cold gaze of Qin Zhiyou, she felt as if she was nothing more than a stranger.

He really was good at pretending only when faced with outsiders, and only seemed eager when he wanted to sleep with her at night. Other times, he treated her as if she were air.

The two of them were getting ready to leave. As they opened the door, Qin Zhiyou stepped up beside her and casually wrapped his arm around her waist.

Qin Zhiyou never usually put his arm around her waist. Typically, he would either put his arm around her shoulders or give her support from behind when they went out. Otherwise, she would be the one holding onto his arm. She wasn’t used to it, and plus she was ticklish, so she was preparing to reject him when Qin Zhiyou casually whispered in her ear, “My mom might be outside.” After considering his words, Lu Weixi quietly moved his hand to rest on her shoulder instead.

What she didn’t realize was that, after she moved his hand to her shoulder, Qin Zhiyou’s initially smiling lips straightened out, but by the time she turned to look at him, he had already rearranged his face into a playful smile. “Let’s go.” Shortly after the pair of them came downstairs, while Madam Yang wasn’t up yet, Secretary Wang was already present. As per usual, he was busy reporting to them while they ate their breakfast. But before he could even get a few words in, Qin Zhiyou knit his brows in dissatisfaction, set down his chopsticks, and his face fell. “Can’t you wait until I’m finished eating?”

Secretary Wang was taken aback; he had always given his reports during meal times. Hoping for support, he turned to Lu Weixi, who was just as confused. She speculated that it was probably because Yang Mogui wasn’t there that he didn’t need to keep up the charade of affectionate couple and his true colors emerged instead.

They finished their meal in silence. It wasn’t until after he had cleared his mouth with his napkin that Qin Zhiyou promptly stood up to leave without sparing a single glance at Lu Weixi. Secretary Wang quickly followed, and they left the villa without uttering a single word.

Only after he had left did Lu Weixi breathe a sigh of relief. She was used to Qin Zhiyou’s cold demeanor and while it was a bit odd, she could handle it. She drove to work and continued dealing with Huang Caiwei. Since the client had switched from her husband to her, many designs needed to be revised. With Huang Caiwei’s numerous demands, Lu Weixi was still busy at work until seven in the evening when she received a call from the villa.
