In the conference room.
Qin Zhigu looked at Lu Weixi, who was engrossed in her documents, with a hint of melancholy in his expression.
He had not heard the sound of Qin Zhiyou and her bumping the door last night, but he wasn’t blind. Now, as Lu Weixi leaned over, a few faint red marks on her fair swan-like neck were silently displaying something.
Moreover, when he arrived at the company today, he saw from a distance that Qin Zhiyou’s car was parked below. When Lu Weixi got out of the car, she was held by him. They were obviously very close.
Five years ago, the sight of these scenes was so disturbing that he had to leave China. Not long after he left, he found out there had been a misunderstanding between him and Lu Weixi, and the one who led the misunderstanding was the seemingly harmless and pitiful Cai Yiren beside him.
Qin Zhigu was filled with hate, regret, and resentment, all towards himself. After watching them get married, he left the very next day.
He admitted that he had always been a bit slow and rigid. Since middle school, many girls had confessed to him, and he had rejected them all on the grounds of “concentrating on studies”.
The only time his heart fluttered was at the freshmen union gathering in college, when he met Lu Weixi.
Lu Weixi at that time was youthful and radiant. Her laugh turned her almond-shaped eyes into crescents. She was the beauty of their architecture department – no, it would not be an exaggeration to call her the beauty of the whole N University. Several of his fellow roommates were also pursuing Lu Weixi. Having managed to get her course list, he attended every class she had and eventually mustered the courage to confess his feelings to her.
Who knows how happy he was in his heart when he saw her face, neck, and ears turn red, and she nodded slightly!
They started dating afterward. Although the Bai Family did not have as much money as the Qin Family, they were blessed with simplicity. Apart from her, they merely had Cai Yiren, who was living with them. His parents knew about her family background, considered it a good match, and did not oppose their relationship.
Lu Weixi was intelligent, and her designs always showcased new creations, which even he could not help but admire. She was also well-read, not only thoroughly understanding classical knowledge but also cognizant of various global customs. They not only shared feelings for each other but also promoted each other’s studies, and even their future development goals were similar. He thought at the time how kind fate was to have given him such a perfect match.
She may have been slightly temperamental, spoilt, and willful. Sometimes when she lost her temper, even he was scolded. But she was righteous, not only helping Cai Yiren but also lending a hand when Xue Feifei’s family faced difficulties.
In contrast to her, Cai Yiren was like a wildflower beside a blossom, a shadow under the sun. While Lu Weixi was outstandingly gorgeous like a favored child of the heavens, Cai Yiren was a pitiful maidservant. They grew up together, and Cai Yiren always followed her like a little tail. When he started dating Lu Weixi, she followed them like a shadow.
In the first two years of their relationship, Cai Yiren was really quiet. Sometimes when they had a fight, she was the one who mediated. Her nature was gentle, and her handling of affairs considerate—it was as if she was a lady’s maid beside a lady of a big family in ancient times.
Over time, he had even gotten used to Cai Yiren being by their side. He once joked, “Who says there cannot be pure friendship between men and women? Look at us.”
Who knew that this “pure friendship” would be broken on Lu Weixi’s twentieth birthday..
