Chapter 984: Chapter 986 Hospital (2) Chapter 984: Chapter 986 Hospital (2) But, although she felt a bit uncomfortable, her life was still fairly peaceful.

She went to work and studied as usual. On the second day of their cold war, she returned to the old house and drove away in her Chang’an Benni. At work, everyone at Lulu now treated her as if she was a treasured possession. Initially, there had been whispers behind her back, speculating whether she had slept her way to the top with Qin Zhiyou. But after their relationship became publicly known, those who had mocked her for clinging to powerful coattails and accused her of trading her body for advancement almost instantaneously changed their tune.

During meetings, someone would immediately offer her tea. When she mentioned eating, several people with fawning smiles would rush to ask if they could join her. If the elevator was too full for her to get on and she had to wait for the next one, there would actually be people willing to come out and wait with her.

Without a doubt, what those people valued was her connection to Qin Zhiyou and Hanhai Group behind her. There were also various business partners who, from God knows where, got wind of her working at Lulu and did everything they could to specifically request to work with her.

Moreover, it wasn’t just her; even Xiaochen and Xiaoqian had become highly sought after. Countless people were eyeing their positions, thinking about how to pull the two women down and take their places so they could get closer to Lu Weixi.

Lu Weixi herself, unable to bear the hassle, asked the CEO for a separate office. When projects came her way, she would first pick the ones she was interested in and hand off the rest to others. There were also people lying in wait for Qin Zhiyou, but thankfully they were now estranged, so Qin Zhiyou no longer drove her to and from work.

Xiaochen and Xiaoqian, on the other hand, didn’t say much, particularly Xiaochen. She had thought that it was Lu Weixi wanting to give a cold shoulder, so she drove there herself. If Qin Zhiyou kept dropping by, life would become even more unbearable.

However, after two weeks of this, on a Friday afternoon when it was time to leave work, Lu Weixi packed up her things and was ready to go when Xiaochen casually remarked, “President Qin isn’t here today either, huh?”

Lu Weixi paused mid-step. The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart.

Xiaochen’s simple comment suddenly made her feel a little choked up. Normally, she wouldn’t have had to respond, but at that moment, she actually found herself explaining, “He’s busy.”

Xiaochen looked puzzled, “Really? Yesterday, Wang told me that things had been settled quite easily and he could even make it home for a warm meal every day. He’s asked me to go see a movie tomorrow?”

Secretary Wang was her boyfriend, and even though he wouldn’t share Qin Zhiyou’s domestic affairs with her, going out on a date was still doable.

Lu Weixi felt choked up again.

Not busy? Yet he came home late every night and left early every morning.

The time they had spent together over those two weeks probably hadn’t even amounted to an hour.

But these words, she couldn’t possibly share with Xiaochen. Taking a deep breath, she went downstairs to drive away.

Lu Weixi had planned to drive home, but as she drove, her mind suddenly went blank. When she stopped at a traffic light and looked around, she realized she had unwittingly driven to the base of Hanhai Building.

She looked up, and Hanhai Building towered into the clouds, its glass reflecting the sunlight.

Was he in there? What was he doing? Was he… really intending to take their cold war to the end?

Staring at the building and lost in thought, cars behind her were already impatiently honking their horns. It was only then that Lu Weixi noticed the light had turned green a while ago, and she stepped on the gas to move on.

But where to go?

She had intended to go home, yet once there, it would still be just her, alone.
