My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me - Chapter 973 - Chapter 973 Chapter 975 A Glimmer of Hope (3)

Chapter 973: Chapter 975: A Glimmer of Hope (3) Chapter 973: Chapter 975: A Glimmer of Hope (3) Lu Weixi had just barely settled into the passenger seat and hadn’t even properly closed the door when she stumbled slightly. She hurriedly shut the door and fastened her seatbelt.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that, as she closed the door and buckled up, Qin Zhiyou let up on the accelerator a bit, and the car didn’t go very fast.

However, once they exited the old residence’s mountain gate, Qin Zhiyou’s driving speed kept increasing, faster and faster.

The journey from the old residence to their main villa on West Mountain was mostly along the outer ring. Qin Zhiyou kept the speed at a maximized 100 kilometers per hour, racing away. Of course, the car’s condition was good, so Lu Weixi didn’t really feel much swaying inside; at most, she could only watch everything on the roadside whiz past into the distance.

But Qin Zhiyou didn’t say a word the entire time; he didn’t speak, nor did he turn on the car radio or the navigation, remaining silent throughout the journey. She occasionally looked at him, only through the rearview mirror, noticing his slightly pursed lips and his eyebrows knitted together.

The car was silent, and no one knew how to start a conversation or break the stiff, silent atmosphere.

However, under Qin Zhiyou’s fast driving, what should have been a forty-minute trip took only 25 minutes to reach their destination. The car headed home, and it was somewhat awkward that, because they were in a bit of a hurry to return and both were preoccupied with their thoughts, they had even forgotten to notify Aunt Hao and had left her at the old residence. There were no servants in this estate.

Of course, with no servants around, Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi still had the car keys. It was just that it was already night by the time they drove home. When parking in the garage, the darkness was pitch black, which felt somewhat desolate.

After Qin Zhiyou parked the car, they should have gotten out, but for some reason, neither of them made the first move to leave. The car engine was off, and the garage was engulfed in darkness, with neither person speaking; all that could be heard was their shallow breathing.

After a while, Qin Zhiyou turned his head first and unbuckled his seatbelt. His hand was on the door handle, ready to exit the car, when Lu Weixi spoke softly, “Wait a moment.”

Qin Zhiyou stopped, turned his head to look at her, and his voice was still very gentle, “What is it?”

“I…,” Lu Weixi fell silent for a moment before continuing, “I went to the hospital yesterday, and my mother still has some prejudice against us. But I am trying to persuade her, and her attitude is gradually improving.”

Qin Zhiyou didn’t respond. In the darkness, Lu Weixi couldn’t see his expression, only noticing that his breathing was slightly shallow.

“I had registered to pursue a doctorate. Initially, I wanted to study full-time, but considering the family situation and my work, I switched to part-time. However, this academic goal is something I have always strived for. I don’t want to easily let go of this opportunity.”

Qin Zhiyou still didn’t speak. He knew Lu Weixi had career aspirations, and he wasn’t forcing her to agree right away. But she kept analyzing from her own perspective, sufficiently calm and rational.

Love, however, is the one thing that doesn’t need calmness or rationality. Even though she had changed a lot in her attitude towards him, and perhaps she had already forgotten her past with Qin Zhigu, she was still unwilling to give her heart to him.

With a light snort, Qin Zhiyou dropped a comment indifferently, “Are you done? I’m getting out now.”
