Chapter 298: Pincer Attack (2)

She bowed her head, the streetscape outside the window swiftly receding, her emotions rising and falling in tandem.

She reflected later on why Qin Zhigu chose Cai Yiren. Cai Yiren was not as pretty as her, lacked her talent, and was not her match in birth and temperament.

But one thing was clear, Cai Yiren was pitifully charming, gentle and considerate, effortlessly eliciting a man’s protective desires—nowadays, this has a specific term: a white lotus.

Yet, the proud and wilful Miss Bai, for example when it came to watching movies, insisted on making Qin Zhigu capitulate to her preferences, regardless of the frequency. If it were Cai Yiren, she would undoubtedly opt for what interested Qin Zhigu more, cheerfully accompanying him.

When her feelings for Qin Zhigu were intense, she wouldn’t feel it, but once their relationship started to cool, this disparity gradually widened.

It wasn’t just her, Lu’s mother had also been a campus beauty, and despite ageing, she still maintained her poise. But Cai’s mother wasn’t much younger, and working together with Bai Changyou, their daily interactions filled with tender words naturally gave them more commonality than Lu’s mother, who later became a full-time housewife, and Bai Changyou.

She was wrong, her mother also neglected her father’s feelings. However, this was no reason for Qin Zhigu and Bai Changyou’s betrayal.

A peaceful breakup was acceptable despite being heart-breaking, but they chose the most awkward and painful way.

The silent and drawn-out journey finally ended at the entrance to the customer’s residential complex. Qin Zhigu wanted to drive in, but Lu Weixi stopped him, “You can stop here. Thank you.”

Qin Zhigu paused, aware that she didn’t want her colleagues to see him. What would she introduce him as if he did show up, her ex-boyfriend, or her brother-in-law?

A shadow passed over his eyes for a moment, and then he nodded, parking at the entrance to the complex.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Lu Weixi turned to unbuckle her seat belt. Yet despite her efforts, she couldn’t loosen it, reflexively saying, “Why is this thing still like this, didn’t you get it fixed before?”

This car was one she frequently rode in five years ago. Later, when Qin Zhigu went abroad, he gave the car to Kong Jie, and she seldom went out, and when she did, it was in a chauffeur-driven car, with herself in the back seat, almost never touching the front passenger seat.

The car had been perfect except for the faulty buckle on the front passenger’s seat belt, which was difficult to unbuckle.

Perhaps it was the song he was playing earlier that stirred his memories, or it was Lu Weixi’s comment that was eerily familiar. Instantly recalling the issue, he naturally leaned over to help, “Did it get stuck again? Let me help you.”

Once he started leaning over, both Lu Weixi and Qin Zhigu sensed the awkwardness, but having already leaned in, it would be even more unusual to withdraw now.

She could only inhale, minimizing the contact between their bodies as much as possible, and then turned her face towards the window, trying to appear indifferent. She silently urged him to hurry up.

But as soon as she glanced out the window, she was momentarily startled:

She thought she saw a black Mercedes drive by, recognizing the plate number as Qin Zhiyou’s car!

Lu Weixi was so frightened her heart nearly stopped, but now she couldn’t look down—Qin Zhigu’s head was just below hers! She had to turn her head and wished for Qin Zhiyou’s car to drive away quickly, without seeing her, preferably not seeing her at all.

But contrary to her wishes, Qin Zhiyou’s car was stopped by the complex’s security guard, and came to a halt..
