Chapter 451: Chapter 452: Familiar (5)

As such, Qin Zhiyou had always been concerned about Zhao Zihao’s matters, always unable to brush it off lightly. He felt compelled to dig deep and expose his true identity.

Regrettably, the original plan for Lu Weixi’s mother to go to America for treatment would have completely freed her from his clutches. Now, they can only take it one step at a time.

No matter what, due to the arrival of Bai Changyou and his group, Lu Weixi just had an emotional outburst, venting out all her anger, resentment, and worries.

Looking at Qin Zhiyou now, her anger and hatred towards him had lessened significantly. Moreover, since Qin Zhigu was present, despite her anger, she didn’t want to quarrel with Qin Zhiyou in front of others, so she held back.

Since her mother was still unconscious, Lu Weixi couldn’t relax. She’d already taken leave, so there was no need for her to report to Siyi Company.

When Qin Zhigu left, he saw Qin Zhiyou staying by Lu Weixi’s side, his arm around her shoulder. Though Lu Weixi’s expression was still cold, she didn’t reject his touch.

It made sense, Qin Zhiyou was her husband now. Regardless of love or not, he had the right to stay by her side, comforting her, taking care of her, and defending her during her most challenging times.

While he, her ex-boyfriend, was overstepping boundaries even with a single glance.

Lu Weixi had been up for two days and nights. Though she’d slept a few hours the previous night, it was hardly restful since she was sleeping against Qin Zhiyou.

At this point, no matter how strong her willpower was, she was nearly at her breaking point.

The Qin Zhiyou next to her hadn’t slept at all, his eyes rimmed red from exhaustion.

Looking at him, Lu Weixi realized that while he was partly at fault, there was no actual malice on his part. He was just unlucky. He’d stayed awake for three days, summoned countless renowned doctors, and had defended her against the Bai family. He’d tried his best.

She had thought that if her mother were actually to die, she wouldn’t go on with him. However, things hadn’t come to that point as yet.

Qin Zhiyou tried to comfort her: “You don’t have to push yourself so hard. Go and rest.”

Lu Weixi glanced at his red-rimmed eyes, her lips curved slightly: “What about you?”

Qin Zhiyou had experience pulling all-nighters to meet deadlines. Yet, having experience didn’t mean he wasn’t tired now. His mind was somewhat foggy, failing to notice the hint of concern in her voice. He just smiled nonchalantly: “I’m fine.”

Lu Weixi slowly turned away, looking at her mother on the monitor, her face calm. “You can go to sleep. When my mother wakes up, I don’t think you’re the first person she would want to see.”

Qin Zhiyou was speechless for a moment at her words. That’s true, Lu Weixi’s mother was in her condition largely due to him. The last thing in her mind before the incident must be the scandalous news with Liu Yiyi and other women.

He lowered his head slightly, thinking for a while. Despite his exhausted mind, his masculine instinct hadn’t faded, and he suggested, “It’s okay for me to rest, as long as you rest with me.”

Lu Weixi naturally rebutted, “That’s out of question, what about my mom?”

Qin Zhiyou pointed at the pitiful secretary Wang, “What are they here for?”

Fortunately, Secretary Wang could go home to sleep during the day, as it was now his night shift.

“If you don’t go to sleep, I won’t either. Either we both go to sleep, or we stay awake together, you choose.”
