Chapter 983: Chapter 985 Hospital (1) Chapter 983: Chapter 985 Hospital (1) Starting that night, Lu Weixi felt as if she had returned to the days of their original cold war.
Aunt Hao had come back from the old house, and the servants at the West Mountain villa were present as well, each performing their duties, with no notable difference.
Qin Zhiyou still came home every day, but just as before, he would go to sleep in the study after arriving. Usually, when they saw each other, they wouldn’t speak unless necessary. In fact, their chances of meeting were scarce. Qin Zhiyou was very busy, and he might just be getting home when she was about to rest. By the time she woke up to go to work, perhaps Qin Zhiyou had already left.
It was only on rare occasions that they crossed paths in the living room or on the stairs; even when they saw each other, they would act as though they hadn’t. She was also very busy. Although the out-of-town project was wrapped up, there was still other work in Yan City. She occasionally came home only to review for her PhD qualifying exams; she was spinning like a top.
When one is busy, matters of the heart can only be left behind. Even after many days had passed, she had grown accustomed to having him by her side. But since their philosophies didn’t align, she couldn’t compromise.
Qin Zhiyou was a man. To have children, all he needed to do was provide the “little tadpoles.” After that, the pregnancy, childbirth, and upbringing could all be fully participated in if he had the time, or otherwise left to nannies and babysitters. But she was different; Qin Zhiyou might disregard the child, but she couldn’t. The biggest compromise she could make was to talk about it after her PhD exams–right now, she wanted to focus all her energy on other things.
Her only worry was Qin Zhiyou’s threat that, if she wouldn’t yield, he would find another way.
What other way could there be? She was his lawful wife. If she refused to have a child and he still wanted one, was he to find another woman to bear his child?
If this had been in the past, Lu Weixi wouldn’t have needed to think twice before concluding that he would cheat. But after getting to know him better recently, she felt that someone as proud as Qin Zhiyou was unlikely to casually find another woman to have a child with.
That was how he had been before, too — he might have his fun, but he never crossed the line to the extent of having a child out of it.
Moreover, stirring up an extramarital affair at this time was not a wise choice. After all, Grandfather Qin was very fond of her, having expressed dissatisfaction with Qin Zhiyou’s previous indiscretions. Furthermore, although Qin Zhizhi was frivolous, Cai Yiren was the woman he had publicly thrown a banquet for, preparing to properly marry into the family. The child she carried was conceived in wedlock.
Should he be desperate for an heir to continue the lineage, he might do something rash and have a child first. But if he was aiming to curry favor with Grandfather Qin, he wouldn’t make such an unwise move. In fact, it might even further lower his already precarious standing.
