Chapter 981 - Chapter 981 Chapter 983 Cold War (5)
Chapter 981: Chapter 983: Cold War (5) Chapter 981: Chapter 983: Cold War (5) Perhaps it was because that sentence was too suggestive, or perhaps it was because he was right by her ear at that moment, but Lu Weixi’s ears turned slightly red.
Now, when Qin Zhiyou was with her, the two of them had developed an understanding, and it wasn’t necessary to exaggerate in speech, nor would she reject his proximity.
Such words seemed to transport her back to the time after they got married when they repelled each other.
But how was she to respond to Qin Zhiyou’s words?
“I…” She felt a bit shy and at a loss for words, and even more clueless about how to reply.
She took a small step backward to escape his ‘attack.’ Only when she had put a slight distance between them did she feel that oppressive presence on her shoulder lighten a little.
However, to Qin Zhiyou, that small step she took back narrowed his eyes slowly.
His arm had already been extended halfway out. Ever since they reconciled, Lu Weixi wouldn’t refuse him in this regard; his arm was meant to wrap around her slender waist.
But when she stepped back, it seemed as though it drained the strength from his arm.
Lu Weixi, now that she had created some distance, finally began to recover her senses. She felt more confident now, and understood Qin Zhiyou far better than during their cold-war days. She had seen some success in her work; though it didn’t bring riches, it was no longer like before, when a month’s earnings could hardly cover her mother’s medical bills.
While she still couldn’t fully grasp Qin Zhiyou’s subtleties, she was beginning to empathize with him a little more–his anger, his sadness, his happiness, his disappointment. She was gradually learning to treat him as her husband, not the ATM that withdrew tens of thousands each month.
But she couldn’t be impulsive about this matter, and marriage wasn’t something to be taken lightly. They could plan this out carefully.
