My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me
Chapter 1052 - Chapter 1052 Chapter 1054 Trust (4)

Chapter 1052: Chapter 1054: Trust (4) Chapter 1052: Chapter 1054: Trust (4) But Qin Zhiyou was somewhat proud. Although he noticed Lu Weixi secretly crying, since she didn’t speak, he didn’t know what to say or how to comfort her, so he simply silently leaned towards her.

For a while, the room was enveloped in silence. Lu Weixi gripped the bedsheets, crying silently. Qin Zhiyou remained silent as well. Although the lights were on, the curtains drawn, and the door closed, the room was quiet, with no one speaking.

After a while, someone outside knocked on the door: “Young Master, Young Madam, dinner is ready downstairs.”

Qin Zhiyou paused for a moment, glanced at Lu Weixi beside him, looked up and said, “No need, we have already eaten outside.”

This statement was well-meant, but as soon as Lu Weixi thought of these words, she naturally recalled the earlier scene of him meeting with Fang Rushuang outside, which made her feel even worse. Her fingers tightly clutched the bedsheets, turning her silent tears into low sobs.

Qin Zhiyou naturally noticed as well. After the servant walked away, he thought for a moment, moved closer, and gently placed his fingers on her shoulder as a gesture of comfort. However, Lu Weixi clearly resisted his closeness, her shoulders shaking as she knocked his hand away.

Qin Zhiyou was also somewhat angry initially. They had been in a cold war until now. Although there were no smokes of gunpowder, the chill was truly palpable. Just now, during the argument downstairs, he knew that it was unlikely that Lu Weixi would do anything dishonorable. But he was genuinely feeling jealous.

His jealousy was not because of their rekindled old love, but because Lu Weixi now preferred chatting and laughing about work with her ex-boyfriend, while treating him as if he were invisible. The issue about having a child was also unresolved. To her, he was nothing more than a husband in the legal sense, a partner living together, family. Even the childbearing was merely because “it was time to have one, and then muddle through life.” Her life, her heart, was never open to him. Even just now, her intense resistance to his touch and her ongoing painful sobs showed this fact.

All he wanted was her heart. Was that so difficult? Her cries made him feel both stifled and angry, yet also helpless. After all, love was not something where “if I love you, you must love me back.” The most difficult thing in the world to force is turning friendship, familial affection, or companionship into love.

He was mad at himself and also mad at her. He abruptly stood and rushed to the bathroom, but perhaps because he left, Lu Weixi could cry without restraint. As he vaguely heard her crying in the bathroom, he became even more distressed and unsure whether to go out or continue. Thinking over, he simply turned on the faucet to clear his mind.

But he didn’t clear his mind much, carelessly finished washing up, grabbed a towel to dry off haphazardly, walked back to the bedroom, and saw that Lu Weixi had changed positions and was no longer crying. Qin Zhiyou looked up briefly, hesitated, then put on fresh clothes.

Just as he finished changing, he casually walked to the other side, pretending to glance back unintentionally. Lu Weixi was indeed still, but both her eyes were red and swollen.

Moreover, this side of the pillow, like the other, was soaked through, both sides meeting victoriously.

Qin Zhiyou was struck all of a sudden; he could no longer maintain his ridiculous composure and walked over to sit beside her, lifting her into his arms: “Stop crying.”
