A moment later.

Lu Weixi was still sitting in front of the bed, Qin Zhiyou remained motionless by the door, neither spoke. Secretary Wang seemed to have parked the car; it was in the courtyard.

Seeing him remain stationary, Lu Weixi frowned as if contemplating something. She broke the silence, “Um…”

Qin Zhiyou looked up at her, awaiting her words, only to hear her ask, “Did you forget to bring something?”

She would sometimes behave like this when planning to leave; she always had the feeling that she had forgotten something, desperately searching the whole house only to find nothing missing.

Qin Zhiyou abruptly looked up, his brows furrowed tightly as if he was even angrier now. Coincidentally, Secretary Wang called at that moment, “Mr. Qin, are you ready? Has something delayed you?”

“Nothing, there’s nothing here that I’m reluctant to leave. I’ll come down right away.” He replied indifferently.

After tossing his phone into his pocket, he turned around and marched to the door. With a resounding “bang”, he forcefully shut the door.

Then, there was the sound of his leather shoes hitting the floor, “thump, thump, thump”, followed by the gradual fading of his footsteps.

She pricked up her ears and only when she heard the sound of Qin Zhiyou closing the car door did she take a deep breath. The mind of a man is as hidden as a needle at the bottom of the ocean, she thought, confused. He wasn’t that angry when he woke up that morning, but he seemed to explode in anger in an instant.

She rose to her feet as the rumble of the car engine began. She moved to the window and watched the car drive to the front gate, which slowly opened.

Although she had been emotional last night, she recalled his words about Bai Changyou, and that phrase “In any case, I would never abandon my wife or my child”.

Was that a promise to her, telling her that any woman outside was nothing more than passing scenery? Whether Bai Changyou recognized her or not, she would always be the madam of the Qin Family.

Could it be that he and Liu Yiyi never had a chance…?

What was she thinking? If she was really bothered by his past, she wouldn’t have married him in the first place. Moreover, since their marriage, he hadn’t exactly been faithful.

Moreover, it seemed like he was there in her nightmare last night. The face that appeared in the darkness was nothing short of the stuff of horror films. She was startled awake because she realized it was him.

She shook her head, thought for a moment, and finally took out her phone. She hesitated for a moment and then sent him a message: “Safe travels”.

It would be impolite not to reciprocate; he had come to tell her about Bai Changyou’s matters. Even if it was incidental, she had to acknowledge his gesture.

In the car, Qin Zhiyou was in a bad mood, pursing his lips, squinting, and silently staring out the window.

Secretary Wang was accustomed to Qin Zhiyou’s volatile temper and had learned to make himself small and inconspicuous. After a while, Qin Zhiyou’s phone buzzed with a new message. Secretary Wang considered alerting him but thought better of it.

Finally, as the car left the gates, Qin Zhiyou let out a long sigh. Lazily pulling out his phone, he hadn’t unlocked it yet when he saw a message notification from Lu Weixi.. He almost instantly yelled, “Stop the car!”
