“Qin Zhiyou didn’t say a word, only casually took the tea Aunt Hao had made for him, sipped it, and put it back down. He switched the crossed leg on top, leaned his body to one side, and changed his position to continue scrolling on his mobile phone without so much as lifting an eyelid.
Lu Weixi was quite accustomed to his attitude, she didn’t mind, and organized her words before speaking: “Zhiyou, we’ve been married for five years now.
During these five years, I have always tried to play the role of a good wife, and I sincerely appreciate your contributions to this family.”
Although Qin Zhiyou still didn’t say anything, he had a smirk on his lips, it was evident from one look that his expression was somewhat playful and disdainful.
Lu Weixi continued: “No matter how our marriage began, I’ve never thought about ending it, and I don’t expect any changes. However, I still hope that you could drink a little less, and play around outside a bit less in the future.”
After Lu Weixi finished speaking, Qin Zhiyou who had been smirking a moment ago, finally lifted his head. His handsome brows slightly furrowed, and in the depths of his eyes, there was some surprise, some confusion, and some other emotions, seemingly hidden beneath his long eyelashes, unrecognizable.
As the tea gently steamed, his voice became somewhat vague like the tea, “Do you care about me?”
Lu Weixi nodded, “Of course,” pausing slightly, she moved up to the sofa, next to him. As her arm barely touched his leg, she only felt his body stiffen all at once, as if resisting her closeness.
“You’re my husband, of course I’m concerned about you. In the future, drink less, a lot of alcohol isn’t good for you. Also…” she paused slightly, tentatively adding, “When you play around outside, don’t overdo it, remember it’s your body.”
Qin Zhiyou didn’t say anything, when she looked at him sidelong, she just noticed his Adam’s apple bob gently. After a long, long time, he put down his mobile phone and turned his head toward her. She was sitting right next to him, at such a close distance, she could even see the stubble at the corner of his mouth and the tiny fluff on his face.
She said this for the sake of Qin Zhiyou, and of course, for herself. She didn’t want to have a drunken mess barging in on her when she’s bathing or sleeping at night. Naturally, she didn’t want to see lipstick on him again, or smell perfume. And the last thing she wanted was him contracting some disease outside and transmitting it to her.
But Qin Zhiyou’s breath was too hot and he was too close, she was a bit unaccustomed to it and lowered her head slightly.
However, as soon as she lowered her head, her delicate chin was pinched by his long finger, and as he lifted his finger, she was compelled to raise her head to face him.
Her eyes suddenly clashed with Qin Zhiyou’s gaze. His frivolous manner was gone, replaced with a serious expression. His soft lips tightly closed, his eyeballs shooting out sharp rays of light. It was like a judge, examining a criminal with the most severe stance, forcing her to have nowhere to hide.
His voice was also very stern, asking with an irrefutable tone, “Were you serious about what you just said?”
