“We as parents shouldn’t wish for a child to be born under such circumstances, wouldn’t that be too pitiful? Even if you don’t consider me, at least think of your child. I also don’t want to keep taking medication anymore. Whenever you want to come, please take proper precautions to avoid this kind of mess.”
Qin Zhiyou stood in front of her, listening to her well-grounded analysis. She was completely right, he couldn’t deny it.
However, he felt as if his heart had been torn open, and a cold wind was blowing straight into the gap.
Her face was calm, her expression tranquil, showing no sign of blaming him at all. She was only discussing an ordinary matter with him.
He knew, he had always known. Lu Weixi’s coldness was something he had experienced profoundly five years ago.
He thought they had eased up a bit recently, and that Lu Weixi was no longer pushing him away. However, it was just his wishful thinking.
Qin Zhiyou’s hands were tucked behind his back; thus she couldn’t see his clenched fists. After she’d finished speaking, it was a long while before he hummed a faint laugh. He raised his eyebrows, a hint of shadow creeping into his gaze,” You’re right, of course. It is pitiful for a child to be born from parents without feelings for each other. But remember, you still owe me three times, and I don’t intend to let you off the hook.”
With that said, he slowly moved forward. His whisper was husky and mesmerizing. He extended a finger, teased a lock of hair near her ear. The strands twisted around his fingertips, “And isn’t it better without a child? If you were pregnant, there would be almost a year when I can’t touch you. I wouldn’t be able to enjoy anything.”
Lu Weixi frowned and took a step back, Qin Zhiyou withdrew his hand, lifting his chin, his eyes becoming playful and vague again, “So, take care of your health. Next time in the bathroom, please put in a little effort too. We need to ‘interact’ after all.”
After saying that, he turned around slowly and left the room.
It wasn’t until the door of the study closed entirely that she collapsed onto the chair as if granted a pardon. Looking tired already, the mental oppression exerted by Qin Zhiyou in the room even outweighed her physical fatigue, making it hard for her to breathe.
The words she had just said were indeed her heartfelt thoughts. She could get close to Qin Zhiyou, but having a child was her bottom line. She had experienced how cruel it could be for a child to be born into a bad family, she would never let her child go through the same ordeal.
Yet in truth, she had compromised somewhat in her words, telling Qin Zhiyou that she might consider having a child with him in the future if he genuinely cut all ties with his other women and was willing to shoulder family responsibilities, even without love.
Love cannot exist without passion, but marriage can, and so can a family.
Economic entanglement, blood ties, all these bind tighter than any vow of eternal love.
Shortly after she pulled herself together, it was already late into the night. She quickly lay down, but just as she was about to rest, a call came in. It was from Xue Feifei.
Lu Weixi answered the call, before she could even speak, Xue Feifei started, “Qin Zhisu is back. I saw his post on social media, he’s really back. Wei Hui, Wei Hui, are you listening?”
Lu Weixi paused for several seconds before squinting her eyes, a hint of fierceness appeared on her face, “And the woman? What about Bai Changyou? Is he coming back too?”
