In the afternoon.

Lu Weixi’s work was going rather smoothly today. When Xiaochen returned the keys in the morning, Lu Weixi noticed at a glance that the pink teddy bear keychain was missing. But it was difficult to say where it could have fallen off from the keys, and she felt awkward asking Secretary Wang for it. Upon opening her drawer, she found another light blue one inside. These trinkets were cheap, they came in a pack of two and were shipped for free if she bought them on a certain online platform; hadn’t she bought two of them in the first place?

Moreover, Xiaochen looked at her with evident admiration today, almost as if she were praising her openly on her face. Every time Lu Weixi saw her expression, she wanted to ask about it, but decided against it in the end.

However, one thing did upset Xiaochen. It was when she reminded Lu Weixi, “Lu, the submission deadline for the contest held by Siyi Company is this Friday.”

Which means there were only two to three days left. Lu Weixi hummed in response and said, “I’ve decided not to participate in the contest now. It’s getting late today, so you can pack up the stuff the day after tomorrow and throw it out.”

“How could you? You’ve put so much effort into it.” Even Xiaochen was impressed with the ideas she had come up with.

“It’s not a big deal.” She did feel a pang of regret for impulsively tearing up her materials on the ship, but the regrets disappeared when she saw Qin Zhigu at the mansion.

No matter what feelings or resentment she still had towards Qin Zhigu, she was clear-headed enough to know that it would be best if they stopped contacting each other. As in-laws, not seeing each other was impossible. Therefore, they should minimize any chance of being alone together, especially for work or collaboration.

Whether Qin Zhiyou would be jealous was not the point. The main thing was she didn’t want to have anything to do with Qin Zhigu anymore. Their past was the past, and it couldn’t be tied back together. Qin Zhigu’s current regret and solicitousness had nothing to do with her.

Five years had passed, and time had buried everything, love or hate.

However, when she got off work, she hadn’t had a chance to text Qin Zhiyou before receiving a message from him, “Come down.”

Looking into the distance, Lu Weixi saw Qin Zhiyou’s black Mercedes parked under the big tree across the road.

Qin Zhiyou was already here. Knowing his temperament, he would absolutely not tolerate anyone being late, not even by a minute.

Lu Weixi didn’t have time to explain the Siyi Company situation to Xiaochen and left immediately, “It’s time for work to end. I’ll leave first.”

Xiaochen watched as Lu left straight into a black Mercedes across the road. Thinking of what Secretary Wang had told her about his “unsuccessful pursuit” of his boss, a feeling of surprise swept over her. Xiaoqian, seeing her standing by the window, asked, “Who’s that?”

“It’s Lu—never mind, let’s leave work.” She certainly didn’t want to put on ten pounds from excessive gossiping!

Once she got in the car, Lu Weixi had no idea what Xiaoqian and Xiaochen were talking about, nor did she know that she and Secretary Wang had “made peace” today. After getting in the car, Qin Zhiyou didn’t even glance at her as he kept his eyes glued to the documents in his hand, as if she were nonexistent.

Lu Weixi didn’t mind. She was already accustomed to Qin Zhiyou’s indifference towards her, as the car began heading towards the old mansion.

During the journey, Qin Zhiyou was busy with his documents, and she was dealing with clients on WeChat. Neither of them said a word.

However, upon reaching the Qin family’s mansion, Qin Zhiyou instantly switched gears. Even before they exited the car, he was already leaning towards her impatiently..
