Chapter 523: Chapter 525: I admire you (Extra Chapter)
At that form of address, a chill ran through Lu Weixi.
It was summertime. How could it feel so cold?
Back in the day, when she was Qin Zhigu’s girlfriend, even Qin Zhiyou had never used such a mushy nickname for her. Yet, the boss didn’t mind, and even giggled, saying, “I heard that Xiaolu and CEO Qin are…”
Qin Zhiyou nodded in acknowledgment, smiling at Lu Weixi, “Yes, we’re relatives. Very close relatives. Isn’t that right, Sister Wei Hui?”
Lu Weixi moved a bit closer and hissed through gritted teeth, “That’s enough, Qin Zhiyou.”
“Oh, what did you say? Are you calling me ‘Brother Zhiyou’? Eh, at this age, calling me that, how embarrassing.” Qin Zhiyou shamelessly reached out, intending to ruffle her hair like an older brother would with a younger sister, but instead, his hand ended up on her shoulder, his fingertips quietly caressing her collarbone.
Lu Weixi shivered involuntarily. However, with so many people around, she couldn’t precisely kill him.
Not wanting to draw attention, she had no choice but to say, “Shall we stand here, or shall we go in and discuss in detail. Qin…Zhiyou?”
Awakening from his reverie, the boss eagerly welcomed, “Yes, yes, yes, please come in.”
Qin Zhiyou watched her smile, made no comment, and sauntered in with his hands in his pockets.
Lu Weixi was a few steps behind and had no choice but to follow him in. The boss welcomed him into the reception room and personally poured tea for him. He served Pu’er tea, which he usually drank, regretting that he didn’t have anything better to offer and that Qin Zhiyou might not be used to it: “My apologies for the poor reception.”
Qin Zhiyou didn’t even glance at it. It was Xiaochen, who was quick to bring over the interior decoration contract: “CEO Qin, take a look.”
Qin Zhiyou’s gaze didn’t even linger on it, and he directly said, “Book the highest standard. Where is the pen? I will sign.”
Xiaochen passed the pen over, and he signed the contract first before passing it to Lu Weixi.
Under tremendous pressure, Lu Weixi had no choice but to sign her name in the party B section. Each party retained a copy of the contract. Qin Zhiyou held one and stared at their signatures side by side, musing, “It’s no wonder she’s my wife; even her signature looks good.”
“That should do it.” Qin Zhiyou got up to leave. He had merely wanted to whisk Lu Weixi away, and with that accomplished, he naturally didn’t need to waste time with chit-chat.
“Oh, yes, my sister has always been low-key. Please don’t take our familial relationship out of context. She doesn’t like it. If I ever find out…” Qin Zhiyou’s eyes narrowed. His face, which had been all smiles, darkened significantly.
The boss immediately straightened up, “Rest assured, CEO Qin! No one in our company would dare to speak out of turn. Whoever does, I will fire them!”
Assured, Qin Zhiyou nodded and took a few steps forward before stopping abruptly. He turned back to see Lu Weixi still standing there.
Since they were past caring about what others might say, he wasn’t afraid of gossip. He turned around, took Lu Weixi’s hand in front of everyone, “Sister Wei Hui. Oh, no, Ms. Lu. What are you still standing for? Let’s go design my office.”
Furious, Lu Weixi yanked her hand away and stomped out.
Once in his sports car, she fumed, “If you have any other tricks, spit them out!”
“Of course.” Qin Zhiyou leaned in close, “I’m wearing leopard print inside too, would you like a look?”
