“Oh, isn’t this Zhiyou? Long time no see.” The voice was melodious. The two turned around to see a beautiful woman coming towards them, dressed in a vibrant red dress, her wavy long hair carelessly scattered about her shoulders.
This woman was unfamiliar to Lu Weixi, but she had seen her before. How could she not, when her advertisements were plastered all over the streets? She was the well-known film and TV actress Xiang Yirou.
However, Xiang Yirou had another identity — Qin Zhiyou’s ex-girfriend. Furthermore, she was Zhiyou’s first girlfriend after their marriage, and among all his exes, she was the most successful one.
Qin Zhiyou didn’t react much, not even bothering to nod or greet her. It made sense. Over the years, he had been with countless women but never looked back at the past ones. His relationships with women typically lasted no more than six months and occasionally, only a few days. This behavior — the tendency to shower his lover with attention and then abruptly pulling away when he fell out of love — was typical of a playboy.
Xiang Yirou, on the other hand, was completely composed. Walking over leisurely with a permanent smile on her face, she said, “I saw you in Europe recently, but unfortunately, my schedule was too tight to arrange a meal with you. I won’t know if you’re free anytime soon?”
The scent of her perfume was intense. Lu Weixi unconsciously leaned back a little.
Qin Zhiyou was apparently also unaccustomed to the strong scent – his brow furrowed deeply. Only then did Xiang Yirou take notice of Lu Weixi sitting across from him, her eyes narrowed, and her smile took on a scrutinising look: “And who might you be…”
Lu Weixi found it amusing; she gracefully wiped the corner of her lips and slowly got up, raised an eyebrow and curled the corners of her lips into a smile, “I won’t bother you two any longer. The meal was delicious, thank you.”
Although Lu was dressed casually in tracksuit today, her simplicity did not lose out to Xiang Yirou’s heavy makeup and luxurious attire but instead gave off a fresh and serene vibe. As she picked up the wash and care kit and walked a few steps, her bag was intercepted by Qin Zhiyou, who quickly followed her and took the shopping bag from her. Lu didn’t refuse and they walked shoulder to shoulder towards the elevator, before pressing the button for the ground floor.
Just as Qin Zhiyou chased her, Xiang Yirou noticed the bag full of condoms he was carrying, and her smiles froze instantly.
They rode the elevator down to the parking lot floor but neither of them said a word. Once in the car, with Lu Weixi buckled up, Qin Zhiyou also did not start the car. After a long silence, they both spoke at the same time:
“Actually I/Actually you…”
They glanced at each other, then simultaneously said again, “You go first.”
After a pause, it was Qin Zhiyou who eventually frowned: “You go first.”
Lu Weixi answered with a “Mm”, laughed lightly. Her gaze was lazily focused on the windshield in front: “Actually, you don’t need to care about me. It’s just a woman, for fun.
Qin Zhiyou’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. Before he could explain, Lu Weixi continued, “This does not just apply to Xiang Yirou, but all the women out there. As long as you take care of your hygiene and don’t create chaos at home, you can do whatever you want. I won’t mind.”
I won’t mind.
These words, seemingly heavier than a thousand pounds, instantly silenced Qin Zhiyou. He drove home in silence. The minute they reached the garage, Lu Weixi got out of the car and briskly walked upstairs, slamming the bedroom door behind her.
Qin Zhiyou stood still watching her, his eyes changing, but eventually, he did not follow her upstairs.
But by the time night fell, he pushed the bedroom door open to find something off about Lu Weixi..
