Chapter 288 Stay or Leave (4)

She jumped in surprise, maybe because of the nightmare she just had, and couldn’t help but cry out in fright.

It was still dark outside. Qin Zhiyou’s proximity made his face vaguely overlap with the man’s face that had appeared in the foggy nightmare, which startled her even more.

At her shriek, Qin Zhiyou frowned and quickly moved aside. Afterwards, Lu Weixi heard shuffling sounds and struggled to sit up, only to realize that Qin Zhiyou was actually getting dressed. It wasn’t her imagination.

It was still pitch black outside the window. She picked up her cellphone beside her and glanced at it, it was four thirty in the morning.

Qin Zhiyou didn’t get back until twelve thirty at night. After that, they had a bit of a squabble, so he’d only slept for about three hours. Was he leaving already?

Lu Weixi jumped in surprise, “Where are you going?”

“I have an event today. I am going to make a speech in the afternoon. I have to get over there in the morning,” Qin Zhiyou explained as he donned his shirt and trousers.

“Why are you…” If his event was today, and it was actually the final day, why did he suddenly come back?

In answer to her question, Qin Zhiyou received a call just then. Although he didn’t put it on speakerphone, the room was so quiet that Lu Weixi could still hear. It was Secretary Wang on the line.

“Hey, Mr. Qin, are you awake? I’m driving over now, I should be there in half an hour.”

Qin Zhiyou simply responded with a “Mm”. Secretary Wang then added, “The document you asked me to find for this afternoon’s report- – I found it at the company. I will bring it over when I come to pick you up.”

Understanding dawned upon Lu Weixi. No wonder, she was just wondering why Qin Zhiyou would return a day early and only stay for a few hours before leaving again.

After hanging up the call, Qin Zhiyou headed straight for the bathroom. Soon after, the sound of him grooming himself could be heard.

When he came out, Lu Weixi was sitting against the bed’s headboard, hugging her blanket, a small lamp was turned on. Her eyes were still somewhat dazed, clearly, she hadn’t fully woken up.

While buttoning his shirt, Qin Zhiyou said softly, “You should rest. It’s still early.”

Lu Weixi nodded, then shook her head, “I can’t sleep.”

Qin Zhiyou briefly paused, understanding that her emotions were likely a turmoil due to her father’s situation. After all, she had mentioned “Dad” throughout her dreams the previous night.

No matter how much she vocally detested Bai Changyou, and despite all her hate towards him, he was, after all, her father. Particularly for someone like Lu Weixi, who appears indifferent on the surface, but is tumultuous within.

He didn’t know what to say to console her nor what he should say. Upon reflection, apart from physical intimacy, their conversations were always about serious matters. He couldn’t even figure out how to start a conversation to cheer her up.

The silence was eventually broken by the sound of Secretary Wang’s car arriving. Qin Zhiyou stood at the edge of the bed, “I am leaving.”

In the same hugging-the-blanket position, Lu Weixi responded with a “Mm”.

“If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll be back tonight. I should be back by around nine.”

“Alright.” Lu Weixi nodded.

“Your father might be returning soon, you should prepare yourself.”

Lu Weixi nodded again: “I know.”

As they spoke, Secretary Wang had already parked the car. Qin Zhiyou, with his head lowered and his hands in his pockets, paused for a bit before adding, “I’m leaving now.”

Don’t you want to say something to me?
