My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me
Chapter 1027 - Chapter 1027 Chapter 1029 Cooperation (3)

Chapter 1027: Chapter 1029: Cooperation (3) Chapter 1027: Chapter 1029: Cooperation (3) Actually, between men and women in love, sometimes a single argument can escalate to an all-out cold war, with both sides needing a way out.

They had argued, hadn’t they?

She couldn’t possibly keep asking, “What would you like to eat tomorrow? Today’s wind is quite noisy. The moon seems nice.”

That would be too silly.

But Lu Weixi waited and waited, and waited a long time, yet she didn’t hear Qin Zhiyou say even a single word more. She used to be a pampered princess, not particularly talkative, but she was never short of words. After their family troubles, although they had different opinions on the matter and neither would budge, fundamentally, they still needed to communicate. As long as there was communication, they couldn’t stay cold. But she had taken the initiative to break the taboo, he should have become more reticent. Especially in the five years since their marriage, apart from maintaining her pride, she had become exceedingly humble. Now, to expect her to talk incessantly, she just couldn’t do it.

Moreover, if she didn’t love him, she could ramble on endlessly about trivial things; but because of her love, she found herself at a loss for words.

After all, Qin Zhiyou was quite eloquent. She was waiting for what he would say next.

As she waited, Qin Zhiyou was also waiting for her to speak. The simple greeting she had offered, although meaningless, had delighted him somewhat. He knew it might have been a casual remark, and he knew she might be trying to please him, but it still made him feel slightly better.

Then, he just kept waiting, pretending to dry his hair, waiting to see if she had something to say. He waited ten minutes until nearly sparking a fire with the towel, until the hands and feet he had just washed were getting cold, but still, no words came from behind him.

So, was it just a whim of hers? Just an offhand remark, possibly even because she resented him for coming back too late and disturbing her sleep?

Even if she genuinely cared, what of it? When it came to important matters, she never considered him, only herself and her mother’s perspective. In her eyes, to call him a husband was more like calling him a business partner. They shared common benefits, common enemies.

Consider the tone of her voice on the phone that afternoon, “Just discussing their wedding, don’t misunderstand.”

She had said, “Don’t misunderstand.” What else could he misconstrue?

Qin Zhiyou silently snorted and settled himself down to lie in bed.

The room was tranquil, warmed only by the air conditioner’s breeze and their shallow breaths. However, before long, Qin Zhiyou felt slight movements, rustling sounds beside him. He paid no attention and continued to lie facing up.

But before long, a tiny hand, like a little mouse stealing oil, gently touched his arm. Qin Zhiyou paused, unsure of what this action meant.

The two of them were under the same blanket, just her at one end and him at the other. The blanket was large enough that unless they thrashed or moved about, both would be covered. Moreover, they had previously either slept in separate rooms, one in the bedroom and the other in the study, or together when they were close.

So was Lu Weixi muddled by sleep now, forgetting that they were still in a cold war?

Qin Zhiyou didn’t stir, continuing to feign sleep.

He didn’t move, but the Lu Weixi beside him did–her arm brushed against his again.
