In the past, Lu Weixi attended numerous events with her parents. After she began dating Qin Zhigu, even though they hadn’t gotten engaged or married, she attended events but never posed for photos. As a result, everyone in their circle knew, but it was not widely spread.
After marrying Qin Zhiyou, perhaps for fear of gossip or due to a change in mindset, she declined all such events without exception.
When Yang Mogui casually mentioned this, the whole family turned to look at her, but she made no response.
Qin Zhimei merely smiled, “It’s quite nice. Let’s all go. After all, our sister-in-law used to attend quite a lot of functions with our second brother. They are all familiar faces and miss you as well. Don’t you agree, sister-in-law?”
With a sharp glance, Qin Zhiyou looked from Qin Zhimei to her. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, he heard Lu Weixi leisurely say, “I won’t be going.”
Qin Zhiyou’s eyebrows knitted together instantly and his lips slightly pursed up. After a while, just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Lu Weixi again, “The maiden voyage will take four days and three nights. I don’t have so much annual leave and it’s not beneficial to my job to reveal my identity publically. I hope Mother understands, and I wish you all a good trip.”
She really took this matter very seriously. This wasn’t just a spur-of-the-moment reaction or a particular rejection. Especially since the deadline set by Boss Liao fell during that period, she completely couldn’t go.
For Qin Zhimei and Qin Zhizha, the idea of having to work was virtually absurd. Especially if they knew that a month of Lu Weixi’s hard work couldn’t even buy a pair of shoes they wear, they would probably laugh their heads off.
Yang Mogui assumed that Lu Weixi, annoyed after hearing what Qin Zhimei just said and fearing gossip, was a bit disgruntled but chose not to say anything. As for Qin Zhiyou, he pursed his lips slightly, lowered his head for a moment before raising it with a faint smile, “That’s fine. I never intended for you to go in the first place.”
Qin Zhiyou lifted his head, a faint smile in his eyes, wearing an affectionate look, “With your weak constitution and fear of the waves, what if something dangerous happens? Your mother only has one daughter, after all.”
After saying this, he stood up, smiling radiantly at his mother, “Mother, I’ll leave her health to you then. I must get to work. Excuse me, everyone.”
After saying that, Qin Zhiyou’s face turned cold, he got up and climbed the stairs, quickly disappearing from sight.
After hearing his recent comments, and in light of what she overheard this morning, Lu Weixi’s body stiffened, her face turning somewhat pale.
What did Qin Zhiyou mean, asking her to recuperate and then give birth to his child? He was probably angry just now, thinking that her refusal to appear beside him on such an occasion was because she still cared about her identity as Qin Zhigu’s ex-girlfriend.
But that’s not true. She just wanted to focus on her work and didn’t have time to accompany him to some cruise event. Especially since Boss Liao’s deadline fell around the time of the maiden voyage, if she missed this opportunity because of the cruise, she would regret it forever.
Yang Mogui, on the other hand, was overjoyed. It seemed her son had finally come to his senses. As she always said, having a child early would provide stability, which would be better than anything else.. In future events, Lu Weixi could stand beside Qin Zhiyou holding her grandchild, stifling any idle gossip!
