Qin Zhiyou’s body didn’t move much, but being so close, she clearly saw his eyelashes tremble slightly.

“If I knew that Simon White was him, I wouldn’t have expended so much effort on the Siyi Company’s bid,” said Lu Weixi with a bitter smile.

Even though she could let go, if she didn’t get the Siyi Company’s project, there would always be other opportunities. But the effort she had put in couldn’t be retrieved.

“Did you enter the bidding for Mr. Liao’s project?” Qin Zhiyou asked, slightly surprised. He had also heard about Siyi Company’s call for proposals for the new building and knew Simon White had been chosen as the architectural designer. However, he didn’t expect that his wife also had interest in this project.

“Yes,” Lu Weixi nodded, then laughed at herself mockingly, “I didn’t expect him to be Simon White.”

“You’re interested in that project?” The moment the words were out of Qin Zhiyou’s mouth, he wished he could slap himself. What was he thinking? Was he trying to push his wife towards Qin Zhigu, to collaborate with him in the future?

“Yes, I am interested, but I don’t want to work with him. And also,” Lu Weixi started, then laughed coldly, “Perhaps, he has found a better candidate,” like Cai Yiren.

Qin Zhiyou fell silent for a moment, thought hard, then looked up: “If you ever need a project…”

Lu Weixi immediately shook her head, “No need. I haven’t fallen so low to need you to supply me with projects. I want to rely on my own strength, not pull strings.”

Qin Zhiyou thought she was being a little naive, “But…”

“Zhiyou, I get what you’re saying. If I were to depend on the Hanhai Group, my work would certainly be much easier, and the pay much higher,” Lu Weixi sternly shook her head. The Hanhai Group was into real estate development, shedding a few projects could make her rich.

But.

“As a designer, too comfortable an environment would kill my creativity. I hope also, that you won’t interfere with my work.” she said seriously, “And besides, aren’t you a penny-pincher? Giving me so much money isn’t like you, is it?” Her words made Qin Zhiyou realize, and his expression instantly grew stern. He is stingy. She has always known that!

“Of course, if I can’t make it someday, I hope you could look after my mother for old times’ sake.” If it weren’t for the current circumstance, she wouldn’t have wanted to degrade herself like this. Her mother was her lifelong soft spot, so she hoped Qin Zhiyou could shoulder some responsibilities.

Was this her stepping back? A reconciliation and heart-to-heart between the couple?

Even though Qin Zhiyou was well aware that, at this moment, Lu Weixi still held no love for him. But her willingness to lay her cards on the table for him to judge was already a big step.

Exactly, she now has no family to depend on. Without opportunities, surrounded by enemies, despite having the ability in work, she could only count on him and her identity as Mrs. Qin.

“OK,” he nodded almost immediately without any hesitation, adding, “But tonight, you have to move into my room.”

Since he had discovered it, it would have happened sooner or later. Lu Weixi also didn’t hesitate and nodded immediately.

The two got up, tidied a bit, and Lu Weixi followed him to suite number one.

Perhaps due to the argument they just had, or because they had cleared the air, she felt exceedingly comfortable there and slept until broad daylight.

Early the next day, Qin Zhiyou dressed her up beautifully, to meet Qin Zhigu.
