The window was tightly shut, resulting in an eerily tranquil environment within the enclosed space, where the only audible sounds were their breathing.
Qin Zhiyou knew she wasn’t sleeping, and neither was he. Even though his mind resisted, his body yearned intensely.
Agitation rising once more, he couldn’t help but get up and head towards the bathroom.
After Qin Zhiyou left, Lu Weixi, who was lying on her side, let out a long sigh.
The reason she couldn’t sleep wasn’t due to these thoughts. She had her own dilemmas, such as the proposal from Boss Liao, the child, and Qin Zhigu.
Setting work-related issues aside, she really didn’t know how to handle the prospect of having a child. Qin Zhiyou had always staunchly opposed it, leaving her with no choice but to comply. Although taking contraception could harm her health, she was even less willing to have a child without careful consideration. Now he had loosened up, and while he didn’t ask her to have a baby immediately, the moment this thought emerged, she truly didn’t know what to do about it in the future.
And then there was Qin Zhigu – she didn’t think much of him when she was working alone at the West Mountain villa. But each time she returned to the Qin Family home, even if she didn’t mention him, people around her would underline his existence like poking at her old wound. And what about Bai Changyou and Cai Yiren? She had no idea when they would be back either.
As she was lost in her thoughts, she rolled over, just as Qin Zhiyou emerged from the bathroom.
Their eyes met.
Qin Zhiyou couldn’t disregard her and could only resort to the bathroom for relief. Frustrations cleared, he returned looking indifferent and serious, contrasting with Lu Weixi’s troubled and restless expression. He quietly lay down beside her under the covers, eyes casting a serene look. Lu Weixi couldn’t find words, and could only stare at the ceiling.
For a long while.
Lu Weixi turned her head to sneak a glance at him. His hands lay flat, resting peacefully with his eyes closed. Everything else aside, the matter of the child was pressing.
If he wanted a child, it wasn’t impossible. But first, he had to cut off all his extramarital affairs, and at least guarantee for the one or two years of her preparation, there would be no upsetting incidents to disrupt her mental calm. Once the child was born, whatever he wanted to do was up to him, but absolutely nothing could happen in those years. Secondly, he needed to quit smoking and drinking and maintain a certain diet whilst she adjusted her health. With all these requirements, the process would take two to three years, and she could wait, but she wasn’t sure about him.
However, she really didn’t know how to express all this, and the thought of doing so only frustrated her more. Unexpectedly, she turned over too abruptly and instantly met his gaze.
Under the faint moonlight streaming into the room, she saw Qin Zhiyou’s eyes. Sometimes, she truly admired him for his ability to be in the mood every day.
However, this time she was wrong. Qin Zhiyou swallowed, and once again, got up and headed toward the bathroom..
