Chapter 1142 - Chapter 1142 Chapter 1144 Because of Love (4)
Chapter 1142: Chapter 1144: Because of Love (4) Chapter 1142: Chapter 1144: Because of Love (4) Qin Zhiyou was taken aback, never expecting that the Lu Weixi standing before him now seemed like a completely different person. Calm, exhausted, yet her eyes remained exceptionally clear. He still wanted to explain, “We can overcome these issues.”
“How can we overcome them? Even if we don’t live in the old house anymore and move back to our West Mountain villa, aren’t Cai Yiren and Qin Zhizha still married? They’ll still be able to see each other, won’t they? This time she was alone with me for just a moment, and she was capable of self-harm to set me up. If we continue to have such encounters often, what do you expect me to do? She’s a madwoman who disregards even her unborn child and her own body. How am I supposed to compete with that? I cherish my life!”
“But she can divorce Qin Zhizha, right? After all, she’s infertile. Given the way Qin Zhizha and Qin Weijia are, they won’t let a woman who can’t bear children hold the status of the Qin Family’s daughter-in-law. Once she’s driven out, with her mother and her uncle having an affair, even the Bai Family won’t welcome them. By then, won’t she become everyone’s target?”
“But that day won’t come immediately; it may take a year, perhaps several years, or even longer. I don’t have that much time to wait.”
“For one day, I will protect you for a day. For one year, I will protect you for a year, and I won’t let you get hurt again.”
“Qin Zhiyou,” Lu Weixi suddenly brushed his hand away, her gaze intense, “You’re still in touch with Liu Yiyi, aren’t you?”
A mere sentence instantly stupefied Qin Zhiyou. His pupils narrowed slightly, and although he wanted to explain something else, at this point, he found himself unable to utter a single word.
As if to prove Lu Weixi’s point, at that very moment, Qin Zhiyou’s phone rang. It was a call from Secretary Wang, but Qin Zhiyou dared not answer. His hesitation seemed to confirm to Lu Weixi that everything she said was true.
Lu Weixi watched from the side as the phone kept ringing, and she said indifferently, “Answer it.”
Only then did Qin Zhiyou give a grunt of assent and picked up the call. This time, Secretary Wang was reporting on various matters: questioning of the stock price by company shareholders, media requests for interviews, and how to draft public relations statements. Qin Zhiyou responded to each point, and by the time he hung up the phone and turned around, Lu Weixi had already stood up.
Qin Zhiyou calmed down as well and said, “I can explain.”
