My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 844: Chapter 846 Living Together (1)

Qin Zhigu and Lu Weixi broke up, and he got together with Cai Yiren, which was already common knowledge throughout the college.

If one were to talk about popularity among the ordinary people, Cai Yiren was definitely more likable than Lu Weixi. Lu Weixi was arrogant and willful, considered herself above everyone else, and was attractive and well-born, which naturally distanced her from the average student. Moreover, she had also won over N University’s most handsome man, Qin Zhigu, and that envy was solidified.

Cai Yiren, on the other hand, was gentle and warm, displaying a face like a spring breeze to everyone she met. Since she was always following behind Lu Weixi and being “bossed around” by her, indeed, some people felt indignant on her behalf. After the Bai Family’s crisis, at first, everyone actually sympathized with Lu Weixi. But she hated the Cai Family so much that she treated Cai Yiren with a ruthless attitude. She forced those close to her to take sides, and if anyone showed the slightest sympathy toward Cai Yiren, Lu Weixi would immediately sever ties with that person.

Cai Yiren always played innocent and clever, pretending not to know about her mother’s shame. The prevailing sentiment in college was that the sins of family members should not be visited upon the children. Whether she was aware or not, she seemed more likable than Lu Weixi’s confrontational attitude. Additionally, rumors linking Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou began to circulate within the campus, which suddenly tarnished Lu Weixi’s reputation even further.

After they broke up, Qin Zhigu naturally did not advertise the fact that his cousin had cuckolded him, but Cai Yiren certainly wouldn’t miss this perfect opportunity. She used various subtle means to spread this news, blurring the line between truth and falsehood. Given Lu Weixi’s nature, she scorned to argue about the authenticity of these rumors. As the whispers grew louder and more vehement, they, in turn, provoked Qin Zhigu. No matter what, being cuckolded is a very humiliating thing for a man, and hearing these rumors while seeing Lu Weixi would irritate him more intensely, driving him closer to Cai Yiren.

Cai Yiren’s calculations were very meticulous, and now that Lu Weixi had become entangled with Qin Zhiyou, her chances with Qin Zhigu were utterly dashed. Both were too proud to bother with explanations, so once such a rift was established, even without her intervening, they were bound to part ways. And now, she was still in the picture.

As long as Lu Weixi was around, Qin Zhigu’s intimacy with Cai Yiren would increase. After Lu Weixi left, Cai Yiren would also “know her place” and back off a little. It was this kind of “consideration” that made Qin Zhigu feel somewhat guilty. After all, they were officially a couple in the public eye, but he knew he was only using Cai Yiren, who had no complaints and continued to suffer in her infatuation with him.

Men might not fall for women out of compassion. But the feeling of compassion and being pursued can indeed soften the hearts of many men. At least at this moment, Qin Zhigu did feel a bit sorry for Cai Yiren. Over the past few days, he had realized that there was no possibility of reuniting with Lu Weixi, and out of sympathy for Cai Yiren, he indeed grew closer to her.

It was the same at this moment.

He and Cai Yiren were sitting in the front row, surrounded by a group of classmates. Although Qin Zhigu and Cai Yiren didn’t talk much, the boys and girls around them were lively enough. But in the last row sat Lu Weixi, utterly ignored. No one sat close to her, nor chatted or laughed with her. The bustle ahead belonged to them, and it had nothing to do with her.
