Indeed, as he spoke, the slightly tense atmosphere in the hall relaxed a bit.

Since Qin Zhigu had spoken, Kong Jie was also busy making arrangements, “Quick, make some dinner for Zhigu… and her.”

“Just a simple meal is fine,” Qin Zhigu was considerate and didn’t even glance at Lu Weixi after coming home. She didn’t say anything to him either and went upstairs first.

She returned to her room to take a shower, changed her clothes, and was drying her hair when she came out. As she pushed open the bathroom door, she found Qin Zhiyou actually sitting on the sofa.

Lu Weixi was startled. She hadn’t seen him come out to say anything in the hall, so why had he suddenly come over now?

Qin Zhiyou had been looking down at his phone all along, and he didn’t look up even when she came out of the bathroom. Lu Weixi didn’t know what to say to him, fearing the more she said, the more mistakes she’d make. It was just like last night. She had clearly wanted to break the deadlock of the cold war, but things had only become more tense.

She simply minded her own business, finished drying her hair, and looked at his position, which happened to block her access to the hairdryer. She didn’t want to ask him to move, nor did she want to accidentally touch him, so she simply went around him to the vanity on the side to take care of her skin. After completing her routine, she thought for a moment, then took out her laptop from her briefcase. Not daring to use the desk next to him, she leaned against the headboard and placed the laptop on her legs to start it up.

For a while, she looked at her computer, and he at his phone; neither of them spoke a word.

It wasn’t until someone knocked on the door, breaking the silence in the room, that Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou simultaneously looked up and then she first turned her head towards the door, “Who is it?”

“Young Madam, dinner is ready.”

Lu Weixi nodded, “Got it.”

Originally, she hadn’t wanted to have dinner, but staying in her room meant she always faced Qin Zhiyou’s back. Such a standoffish environment was suffocating.

So, she closed her laptop, put on her slippers, and walked out the door. Qin Zhiyou had been facing away from her the whole time, but as she turned towards the door, his gaze followed her. Just as Lu Weixi opened the door, she happened to meet Qin Zhigu, who had probably also been called down for dinner.

Qin Zhigu, perhaps coming to terms with things, spoke very normally to her, “The design draft you just sent to Paul, he also sent me a copy. But this time, the main work on the design is still up to Paul and you. If you have any communication issues with him, just let me know.”

Lu Weixi was also quite open, and naturally more talkative when it came to work, “Paul’s concept is fine, it’s just that some aspects are a bit difficult to implement…”

Then the sound of their voices faded away, probably because they had gone downstairs.

It had been bearable for Qin Zhiyou to sit in the room initially, but as their voices grew fainter, he sat up straight, leaning towards the door, his ears perked up, as if he wished to have keen hearing to catch what they were talking about downstairs.

That was what he thought, and that was what he did. He set down his phone and stealthily got up, walked over to the stairwell, and then leaned outward.

This time, it was quite shocking. After all, the relationship between Lu Weixi and Qin Zhigu was a bit awkward before, and last time Qin Zhigu was thinking about stirring things up again. Who knew if this sly kid had heard about their cold war and chose this time to come back on purpose. Was it intentional, deliberately giving her hope at their most vulnerable moment?
