My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 871: Chapter 873 Marriage (5)

It was Lu Weixi who saw Secretary Wang behind Qin Zhiyou. She had long known about the relationship between these two, but Secretary Wang was still keeping it from Qin Zhiyou. She coughed and said, “Could you two step out for a bit, please? We have something to discuss in private.”

The truly clueless Xiaoqian was all excited. She had no idea about Secretary Wang and Xiaochen’s relationship and this was the first time she had seen Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou talking so intimately. But as curious as she was, faced with Qin Zhiyou’s stern face, she also let out an “Oh” and left. As Secretary Wang was about to leave, Lu Weixi called after him, “Xiaochen might be booking my flight right now, let her know. Also, I might be going back to Yan City for several days, so I’ll leave things here to her for now. Tell her to mind the measures, and if anything important comes up, wait until I get back.”

Secretary Wang knew this was Lu Weixi giving him an open and proper reason to approach Xiaochen, and he immediately nodded excitedly, “Yes, I got it.”

After they had all left, Qin Zhiyou’s tall figure came over, and he said with a slightly cool tone, “Since I entered, you’ve said three sentences, but not one was addressed to me.”

Lu Weixi smiled playfully. How had she never realized before that the apparently indifferent Qin Zhiyou was actually like this? Though his expression was still serious and his tone quite cold, the warmth in his words was apparent to anyone with half a brain.

She took a step forward, tiptoed, and pecked at the corner of his mouth, “Then aren’t you the same? You haven’t spoken a word to me since you walked in.”

Only then did Qin Zhiyou’s lips curl into a slight smile, which quickly turned into a downward tilt, as he reached out to teasingly flick her nose, “You seem to be quite at ease here. Isn’t it the case that if I hadn’t pushed, you wouldn’t plan on coming back at all?”

“How could that be, didn’t you just hear me asking Xiaochen to book my ticket?”

“I also heard you on the phone with your best friend just now.”

The hotel’s facilities here weren’t great, and the soundproofing was poor. He had overheard her entire phone conversation in the corridor, “You little ungrateful thing, coming here to work and not even making a call, barely sending WeChat messages. If it wasn’t for your best friend coming back, you probably wouldn’t bother returning to Yan City, would you?”

“I’m not lazy about returning, I just don’t want to attend any engagement,” Lu Weixi responded cheerfully. Since she already knew that the engagement was just a stage set by Qin Zhizha and Cai Yiren for them to see, and she wasn’t a fool, why would she go back just to seek misery?

Qin Zhiyou probably had the same idea, which is why he ran around China for the last half month, not willing to face their attitudes. Although the outcome was already anticipated—them being embarrassed—Qin Zhizha’s smug face flaunting in front of him was also annoying, wasn’t it?

But today, with Qin Weijia and Qin Zhizha calling repeatedly to urge him to return, and with his work outside finished and nothing better to do, he figured watching their monkey show might be fun. Secretary Wang checked and found Lu Weixi showed no sign of action, so he simply decided to swing by and pick her up first.

And speaking of which, Qin Zhigu had the same thought; he too had been running around outside and not returning to the Qin Family. At least on this matter, the two brothers were of one mind, an unspoken understanding between them.

The stage was set, and the actors were in place, but the audience was absent, which was why Qin Zhizha was anxious.

“However, Feifei doesn’t want to attend the engagement.”

Qin Zhiyou thought, that was exactly what he wanted, because Yu Sixing would also be there.
