My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me
Chapter 1174 - Chapter 1174 Chapter 1176 Ancient Death (2)

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1176: Ancient Death (2) Chapter 1174: Chapter 1176: Ancient Death (2) Qin Zhiyou was almost entirely in front of her at this moment, his arms nearly encompassing her in an embrace. His face was pressed against hers, and a slight move forward would have touched his nose to hers. Their breaths mingled, swirling with each other’s scents.

Yet, even being so close, there was actually no physical contact between them. They were almost touching, yet not touching, and their body temperatures were rising.

Fortunately, as Qin Zhiyou furrowed his brow in frustration, he finally managed to undo the buckle. With a “click,” Lu Weixi sighed in relief and moved slightly. And at that moment, Qin Zhiyou also pulled back–

But in the moment of release, his lips clearly brushed past hers. The strong taste of tobacco from his mouth also instantly transferred to her.

Both of them froze for a moment, paused, and then looked at each other simultaneously. To be honest, this sort of thing happening after feelings had faded was more awkward than chaotic. Being so close, Lu Weixi could clearly see that there was not a trace of desire in Qin Zhiyou’s eyes, it was completely an accident.

While they were still in their awkward state, a sudden horn honked behind them. Perhaps because it was so abrupt and loud, both of them jumped in shock, and Qin Zhiyou, who had been stable until then, suddenly tilted. Not only did he kiss her lips, but he also fell into her arms, a solid and full kiss.

Heaven and earth as my witness, he swore, he really hadn’t planned on taking any advantage of her at that moment.

After some time had passed in calmness, he had gradually accustomed himself to the days without Lu Weixi. Buried in work at the company alone, whether it was project matters, Zhongtian Steel issues, preventing Qin Weijia’s mischief, helping Lu Weixi restore her reputation, or even investigating Zhao Zihao, he was swamped with work.

He consciously immersed himself in work, not wanting to think about anything, not her, not their divorce; life wasn’t too hard to get by. But today, upon hearing that journalists had mobbed the hospital entrance, he, who had been in a meeting, instantaneously left everyone in the conference room and rushed out.

He knew that his encounters with Lu Weixi were going to be less and less frequent. Legitimate chances to meet her would also become rarer. The things he could do for her were also becoming fewer–she was a strong person and wouldn’t accept his “charity” and “pity,” even refusing job opportunities he had arranged for her during this period.

The only consolation was seeing her with Qin Zhigu and Zhao Zihao in close relations; he finally learned not to be as jealous as before, and instead, he silently observed her as an ex.

He knew today was her last day returning to her old home, and probably she wouldn’t see him again after this.

The image he held in her heart was already bad enough; he didn’t want to utterly shatter the last bit of his gentlemanly image.

But when his lips had brushed hers just earlier, his heart had indeed beat a few times faster. But what of it, he still dared not act recklessly. The final loss of balance was an accident, and after the kiss, he quickly got up, his brow slightly furrowed, his gaze somewhat embarrassed. He messed up the last opportunity, feeling a bit remorseful, he hurriedly got up, pulled open the car door, and fled as if escaping, even forgetting to shut the door.

When Lu Weixi finally got up, she noticed that the cigarettes in his car had been smoked down by more than half.
