Lu Weixi was dragged by him, stumbling and staggering. Just after the commotion, and with others present, she didn’t dare to resist too vehemently, so she just followed him.
Qin Zhiyou’s car was parked outside, and Secretary Wang was waiting. When he saw Qin Zhiyou dragging Lu Weixi out, he was taken aback. Before he could say anything, Qin Zhiyou, with a stern face, opened the passenger door and tossed Lu Weixi in, then closed the door. He made his way to the driver’s side, and slammed on the accelerator.
Qin Zhiyou gripped the steering wheel tight, his lips pressed into a thin line, eyes fixed on the road ahead as the speedometer numbers kept rising.
Lu Weixi knew he was angry, very angry. She said nothing about his drunk driving and speeding, her first instinct was to quickly fasten her seatbelt.
His black Mercedes was like a ghost, recklessly racing through the late-night streets of Yan City, and quickly turned back to their villa.
Qin Zhiyou, with a whirl, stopped the car abruptly. As soon as the car halted, he immediately got out, then moved over to the passenger side, unceremoniously pulled out Lu Weixi.
People in the villa hearing the commotion rushed out to meet them. Seeing Qin Zhiyou’s stern face, dragging Lu Weixi as if she were a willow leaf in the wind, they were all startled.
However, Lu Weixi, unwilling to attract their sympathetic gazes, forced a smile and said, “Don’t worry about us, we’re fine.”
Qin Zhiyou dragged her to the bedroom door, shoving her inside. Lu Weixi stumbled a few steps, coming to a halt by the bed. She knew why he was angry: “I have nothing to do with Director Liu, and nothing similar has happened in the past.”
She was professional in her work and didn’t want to be misunderstood.
Qin Zhiyou’s eyebrows were still furrowed heavily, after listening to her words, he remained unfazed. He randomly pulled her toward the bathroom edge, opened the wardrobe door, and threw out her bathrobe and nightgown, then stuffed them in her hands: “Get in.”
She got the message. Apparently, he considered her dirty after drinking with Director Liu.
Even if Qin Zhiyou hadn’t pushed her in, she would have showered anyway. She came out after a quick wash, and found Qin Zhiyou standing right outside the bathroom door.
She knew that any man would be bothered by this. Even if they lived lavishly outside, if their wife were suspected of cheating, they would definitely be furious.
Based on her recent experiences, Lu Weixi picked up a towel from the side and handed it to him. Qin Zhiyou paused, his thin lower lip pursed, and after a while, the corner of his mouth hooked up in something resembling a smile, “Good. You’re smart.”
She knew that this would make Qin Zhiyou more pleased and satisfied, but she needed to learn how to protect herself. She reached out to the bedside table and pulled out a protective talisman. Qin Zhiyou’s smile grew wider, his eyes full of amusement, making it seem like he was mocking something.
Still, Lu Weixi took a step back, closed her eyes, turned her head away, and said in a low voice, “I’m scared.”
Qin Zhiyou paused. His face turned from red to white. In the end, his hand fell gently, and his fingertips brushed through her hair….
