But if she did not feel wronged, he felt it all the more for her.

He knew that when Lu Weixi and Qin Zhigu first planned for their future, they had hoped to study abroad together, both pursuing PhDs. One would study architecture design, the other interior design, their skills complementing each other perfectly, a formidable pairing. Just like Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, encouraging and promoting each other.

If it weren’t for her need to take care of her mother, and the exhaustion from the upheaval in her family, she should still be in the Ivory Tower, studying without a care in the world, absorbing knowledge.

Now Qin Zhigu had made his mark, but their Xixi seemed to be a bright pearl covered in dust.

Qin Zhiyou was sitting next to her on the edge of the bed, his expression still calm. He turned his head, his gaze directly falling on her face.

Lu Weixi also turned around, Qin Zhiyou’s long eyelashes slightly drooping, hiding the true emotions in his eyes. But he was very cautious, lightly pecking her cheek.

Lu Weixi was wondering if he was worried about her and Qin Zhigu’s unfinished business. Maybe he was relieved after their earlier conversation, making his action seem excessive. Luckily, they had come home early today, not missing dinner.

After taking a quick bath and changing clothes, they sat downstairs waiting for dinner. She rubbed her aching waist. Smelling the familiar smell of traditional Chinese medicine, she couldn’t help but glare at Qin Zhiyou.

After dinner as usual, they had a family chat. Yang Mogui smelled the medicine and cheerfully asked Lu Weixi, “You went to the hospital, what did the doctor say?”

Lu Weixi replied, “The doctor said I need to take several prescriptions for some time.”

After all, she had taken contraception last time, and the doctor recommended that she should wait for another half year, so Yang Mogui won’t urge her during this time.

But when the medicine arrived, there were two bowls, Qin Zhiyou also had one. Even Master Qin was somewhat surprised, “Zhiyou, what happened?”

Qin Zhiyou picked up his bowl and drank the medicine without hesitation, “Isn’t the plan to get pregnant? The doctor said to give me some medicine to strengthen my body. The goal is to have a healthy and smart baby.”

His statement was such a shock that Qin Zhigu who was drinking water almost choked. Lu Weixi didn’t say anything, but her face was almost buried in her medicine bowl.

Qin Zhiyou then asked one of the servants, “Do you have any sugar? Give a piece to Weixi, she seems to be suffering while drinking her medicine.”

The servant quickly went and brought back some sugar. When Lu Weixi finished her medicine, Qin Zhiyou stretched out his finger and put the sugar directly into her mouth.

Although a bit dramatic, the sugar was indeed sweet.

People from the second and third rooms had nothing to say. Back when they were on the boat, Qin Zhimei and Qin Zhizha were constantly ridiculing Lu Weixi, saying she was merely a decoration; even her husband showed more affection for other women than for her. Yet, she insisted on this “decorative” position, so they could no longer use such words to ridicule her.

And with Master Qin present, who disliked conflicts among his subordinates, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and watch the two lovebirds in order to gain his favor.

Then, in the midst of their “Oh, how annoying!” expressions, Qin Zhiyou affectionately embraced her waist and helped her to their room..
