My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 831: Chapter 833: Parting Ways (3)

There wasn’t any real love, nor did she care about love. But an enemy’s enemy is a friend. As long as Qin Zhigu stood by Cai Yiren’s side, they were archenemies, never to coexist!

This kind of matter, when dragged out, became an irreconcilable account, especially involving parents and family.

The two central figures of the incident, Qin Zhigu, had been staring unwaveringly at Lu Weixi, whereas Lu Weixi was looking more at Bai Changyou, then at Cai’s mother and Cai Yiren. They were at a stalemate, with neither side yielding to the other.

In the end, it was Cai Yiren who stepped forward and said, “I’m sorry, Wei Hui, I have always liked Zhisu. But I really haven’t ruined the relationship between the two of you, Zhisu hadn’t wronged you before. It was because of the rumors about you and Qin Zhiyou at school that he became so heartbroken. And, and…”

She clenched her teeth and took a long time to begrudgingly admit, “Actually, we weren’t dating. I’ve been unwell lately, and he has been taking care of me at the hospital.”

“You don’t have to be so aggrieved. A woman who steps on two boats and snatches someone else’s fiancé is not what I want!” Qin Zhigu was pushed to a corner by Lu Weixi, and since she had been intimate with Qin Zhiyou, it was impossible for them to be together again.

...

Untangling right from wrong was useless now—it was as if he had been blind three years ago to have chosen such a woman to be his girlfriend.

He stretched out his hand, wrapped his arm around Cai Yiren’s shoulder, and drew her close to him, “If you’re willing to accept me, let’s start dating. I swear I will treat you well from now on. If I ever have another choice, I will inform you immediately. I won’t let you be dumped without understanding why.”

“Zhisu…” Cai Yiren truly hadn’t expected Qin Zhigu, who had hesitated earlier, to so quickly acknowledge their relationship. The relief and tenderness in her eyes were unmistakable. Her eyes were still brimming with tears as she looked at Qin Zhigu with an immensely affectionate gaze, weakly nodding her head, her face full of contentment.

Qin Zhigu even turned his head to gently wipe away the tears at the bottom of her eyes with his finger, “Fool. Why are you so good to me.”

Even though Lu Weixi had decided to break up with Qin Zhigu, seeing them deliberately “showing affection” at this moment still deeply wounded her.

Three years of affection, three years of first love—yet this was the outcome. Even though she still harbored resentment towards Qin Zhigu and detested his betrayal, she still felt—sad.

There was a faint mist in her eyes. She lifted her head, not letting the mist turn to tears, not letting Qin Zhigu see! She refused to end up in the same predicament as Cai Yiren, and even if she did end up in such a state… there would be no tender hands to wipe away her tears anymore.

Quickly, she clenched her fists tightly, turned around, and embraced Qin Zhiyou, “Qin Zhiyou, do you really want to cancel your engagement with Fang Rushuang?”

Qin Zhiyou had been silently observing the situation. He wanted to interject, but he knew that whatever he said would be futile. Lu Weixi was only a “temporary ally” to him, ready to part ways at any moment. He could only wait for them to make their choices before he could express his stance, perhaps at most offering a little nudge, but that was as far as it went.

However, at this moment, he finally knew his opportunity had arrived!

But he couldn’t appear too eager either, lest he frightened Lu Weixi away.
