Chapter 239: Chapter 240 Old Feelings (4)

Translator: 549690339

She was with Qin Zhigu for three years, he was her first love, the only man she had ever loved till now. How could she possibly forget him just because she said so?

Qin Zhigu didn’t dare to call her “Xixi” anymore, but he didn’t want to leave either. His eyes were always on her, intensely watching her, afraid that if he even blinked, she would turn away.

Footsteps could be heard downstairs, Lu Weixi quickly woke up from her dream of the past.

No matter how sweet or tender, it was all fake. After she and Qin Zhigu broke up, she was with Qin Zhiyou and even moved in with him. Living with Qin Zhiyou inevitably led to interactions. Every time she appeared publicly with him, covered in various marks, Qin Zhigu’s facial expressions were fascinating whenever he ran into them.

Thinking of this, and then looking at Qin Zhigu, she felt nothing. She calmly raised her eyes. If he wasn’t going to move, then she would. He watched her move forward without looking sidelong, her body straight and stiff, before she walked directly towards the stairs.

He turned his head sharply, only able to see her retreating figure going downstairs.

Although the light was dim earlier, he had seen her dazed expression. It meant she still had feelings for him…

But when he thought about it, he didn’t feel elated. Instead, he was filled with regret.

Downstairs.

Actually, dinner was not that special. Since the patriarch of the Qin family was present, the strange atmosphere created by the second and third generation didn’t matter much. Moreover, Qin Weijian didn’t return as he said he was busy at work. Qin Weijia hadn’t fully recovered from the cruise trip and seemed a bit tired. The younger ones, Qin Zhimei and Qin Zhizha, couldn’t create much of a stir. Uncle Chang Zaigang and Aunt Kong Jie were mild-natured and disliked quarrels. Yang Mogui was out of town and couldn’t make it at this time.

The patriarch probably called everyone back because Qin Zhigu had returned to the country and hoped for a family reunion. No one would be foolish enough to upset the patriarch by deliberately creating family conflicts at this time.

After the meal, the rest of the family tried their best to be noticed by the patriarch. Lu Weixi sat quietly at the farthest place. Only Qin Zhigu occasionally glanced in her direction before quickly looking away. Kong Jie noticed her son’s wavering heart. She didn’t say anything, choosing instead to turn a blind eye.

Luckily, the patriarch didn’t have much energy to stay downstairs for long and soon returned to his room. As soon as he left Lu Weixi rose quickly. She didn’t have time to put up with these people, even if Qin Zhimei and Qin Zhizha occasionally provoked her, she would just pretend not to notice and shrug it off with a smile.

After returning to her room and booting up her computer, she started to work. It took her a while to realize that this seemed to be the first time she stayed at the Qin mansion alone.

During her previous relationship with Qin Zhigu, she came over often but she was a guest and would leave after a meal. She did live here after marrying Qin Zhiyou, but he was always by her side at that time.

Coming here alone, seemed a bit unfamiliar.

Besides, Qin Zhigu’s house was next door.

Lu Weixi took a sip of her tea and shook her head to cast off these random thoughts. Once immersed in her work, she didn’t have time to contemplate irrelevant things. After finishing her work, she washed up and prepared to sleep. However, after she turned the lights off, she could still faintly see through her window, that the light in the room next door, Qin Zhigu’s room, remained on for a long time.

The next morning, Lu Weixi woke up to the rumbling sound of car engines. Her first thought was, could it be that Qin Zhiyou was back?
