Qin Zhiyou turned around and was met with her somewhat pitiful gaze.

He felt a bit stifled inside, fully aware that the woman before him had not placed her true feelings upon him. Or to say, even if there were some true feelings, they were far from enough. When she thought about issues, she always analyzed them from the perspective of interests, with logic, clarity, and calmness.

He didn’t mind Lu Weixi being a bit more selfish, nor did he mind her having her own pursuits. But, could she not spare a bit of affection for him outside of this? Of course, their relationship was warming up, improving, and they had promised not to give up on their marriage. Perhaps she had grown to like him a bit, but was this liking love?

Maybe with more effort, she would gradually fall in love with him and agree to conceive a child together.

But how long would it take? One year, three years, or yet another five years?

Perhaps one day she would consent, but did her consent mean she had fallen in love with him? Maybe it was just for the sake of settling.

People, sometimes, are just greedy.

When Lu Weixi and Qin Zhigu were dating, he dared only to watch from afar. An occasional advantage taken resulted in her greater rejection. Once they “dated,” he felt it wasn’t secure enough and tricked her into marrying him. After they got married, he wanted to win her heart over quickly, but that incident happened, leading to a five-year cold war between them.

Now, finally beginning to break the ice, as their relationship started to sprout anew, he again longed for her to fall in love with him quickly.

Was he yearning for a child? Both he and she were children who had grown up under the shadow of their parents’ marriages. Without complete confidence, even he himself was not willing to rashly bring his child into this world, to rashly accept an imperfect, loveless family.

What he yearned for was her turnaround! He yearned for her heart to contain only him!

But her response just then contained only interests, only analysis, and no love.

He was clearly so angry he wanted to leave, but when he saw her fall to the ground, his first reaction was to reach out his hand to her. She looked down and ignored him, and if it had been his old self, he would have definitely turned and left. But he still bent down, lifted her up, and treated her wound tenderly.

She didn’t respond, and he should have left then, but Lu Weixi grabbed hold of the hem of his clothes. Such a gentle gesture, he could have broken free with just a turn, yet he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

This selfish and spoiled person, she actually hadn’t changed at all from the past. The Lu Weixi of the past was arrogant and willful, and though she’s restrained her edge now, her heart remains as always. She’s sly, she’s intelligent, she’s also cold-hearted, always skillfully “using” the men around her, needing only a small ploy to make them obediently stay by her side.

Yet he was irrevocably hooked on her.

“I’m sorry,” came Lu Weixi’s slightly weak voice. Hearing these three words, Qin Zhiyou’s eyes narrowed faintly, his Adam’s apple moving up and down.

Sorry for what, was she apologizing, unable to give him the love he wanted, unable to give him a child, unwilling to give up her own ideas, but still feeling guilty?

He didn’t need her guilt, he didn’t want her apology!

Qin Zhiyou was just about to shake off the small hand that grasped the hem of his clothes when he heard a gentle sigh from behind:
