Chapter 974: Chapter 976: A Glimmer of Hope (4) Chapter 974: Chapter 976: A Glimmer of Hope (4) “I…” Lu Weixi turned her head, watching him twist the doorknob. The car door opened, and he pushed it open and walked out. Although she couldn’t see anything, couldn’t see his face, couldn’t see his expression, from his retreating figure, Lu Weixi inferred a hint of desolation.
“Wait a second.” Lu Weixi didn’t know why she said it, maybe because she too got drenched by the pipe water with Qin Zhiyou today, causing her mind to be a bit foggy.
She had indeed analyzed, from her own perspective, the reasons why they couldn’t have children now. Indeed, she needed to work and take care of her mother; having another child would be too much to handle, an objective factor.
She wasn’t like Qin Zhiyou, a man who didn’t need to carry a child for ten months or go through confinement. It wouldn’t delay his time, his family didn’t have a sick member in bed to take care of, and it wouldn’t hold back his work.
She could feel Qin Zhiyou’s heartache, his discomfort.
When you don’t love someone, it doesn’t matter, but now, once you have feelings for that person, she couldn’t bear to see him in distress, especially when it was because of her.
Qin Zhiyou didn’t wait for her; he opened the car door and got out. She also hurriedly fumbled with her seat belt, preparing to get out: “Wait a second!”
But the garage lights were off and the car had stopped, and in her rush, she made a mistake, struggling with the tangled seat belt. Lu Weixi became a bit anxious, but eventually managed to unbuckle it after some effort and got out of the car to follow him. Qin Zhiyou had already opened the trunk, taken his luggage, and was unlocking the front gate.
Lu Weixi jogged a few steps. Maybe it was because it was too dark to see clearly, or perhaps because the yard had been neglected for some time, allowing weeds to grow wildly, or maybe because she hadn’t had the chance to change shoes after work and had rushed straight back to the West Mountain villa from the old house.
In any case, as she was chasing after him in her high heels, she accidentally twisted her ankle and fell to the ground.
In the moment she fell, Lu Weixi herself was stunned. For someone her age, it was embarrassing to fall flat on the ground, and all the more so as she fell clumsily, her right leg stretching forward almost into a split, her hands catching herself on the ground and getting covered in dirt, even scraped. She sat awkwardly on the ground, in a sorry state.
After the fall, she naturally didn’t continue to chase after him and became voiceless. With her head down, using the streetlights and moonlight for guidance, she looked at the stains on her clothes. Perhaps because of the pain, her rationality returned, and she sobered up. She patted the dirt off herself, preparing to stand up.
But when she tried to move, there was a sharp pain in her right ankle, probably twisted during the fall.
Lu Weixi frowned and braced her hand against the ground, preparing to stand up again, when suddenly a hand appeared in front of her. The fingers were long and strong, the palm marked with familiar intertwined lines.
