Chapter 1236: Chapter 1239: See You After Dawn (20) Chapter 1236: Chapter 1239: See You After Dawn (20) If Xiaochen had called, she would have had ways to fend him off. But this was another designer, and they weren’t very close before; she really didn’t know how to refuse.

However, Lu Weixi didn’t pick up the call directly either. She glanced at Qin Zhiyou, who was also looking at the cellphone, frowning slightly as if he had some problematic matter on hand. He was busy, so she went ahead and answered the call.

Sure enough, the designer on the other end had some specific requests. Though they had met the day before yesterday, the meeting was only about the broader framework. As for how to adjust the small details, they needed to continue the discussion during the latter stages of the project. As Lu Weixi was on the phone, she looked at Qin Zhiyou, who quickly replied to a message. His expression was still a bit solemn, so she replied hurriedly, “I’ll discuss these issues with you when we’re back at work on Monday, okay?”

The other party responded, “No, the client wants to see it by Wednesday. We only have Monday and Tuesday. I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it. I actually wanted to discuss it with you yesterday, but you weren’t there.”

Lu Weixi nodded but she had already promised Qin Zhiyou a ‘world-for-two’ experience and couldn’t deceive him. After pondering for a long time, she replied, “Then do this: compile all the issues, jot down any questions or things you’re unclear about, just write everything out, and then email it to me. I’m outside right now and can’t explain everything to you, one by one in detail. Once you’ve written it all out, I’ll discuss it with you.”

The other party agreed and finally hung up.

Lu Weixi quickly put away the phone and took another look at Qin Zhiyou. She knew she was breaking protocol and betraying a promise. They had agreed to a ‘world-for-two,’ and yet she had prioritized work.

Qin Zhiyou also understood what she meant. She was trying hard to coordinate, but things weren’t going as hoped. Just like on his end, Zhongtian Steel had made a move; a controlling subsidiary was competing with one of their downstream companies for a project. The project wasn’t big, but it was vital. At such a time, do you act or not?

“It’s okay, I have some things to attend to as well.”

From this divorce, he had learned just one thing: even if he was trying to do what’s best for Lu Weixi, he shouldn’t use a dominant approach or decide her actions for her. Sure enough, Lu Weixi felt somewhat touched.

Her project might seem big, but Qin Zhiyou, managing the Hanhai Group, was undoubtedly busier by a hundredfold. Yet he seemed to be compromising for her sake.

“Alright, let’s head back first.”

As Lu Weixi spoke, she naturally linked her arm with his.

It was in these recent days that the more she realized how much he cared for and liked her, the less she wanted to leave him. But at the same time, she was even less willing to be a burden to him. She was well aware that with her current status, wealth, and connections, she couldn’t help him in any way; she could only rely on him. Although she had the title of the Bai Family’s young miss, she and the Bai Family were at loggerheads. With her presence, not only would she not be of any help to him, she would even exacerbate conflicts. Moreover, in the foreseeable future, she might never achieve the title of a famous designer and would always be unmatched for him.

Perhaps now, when things were going well, he wouldn’t care much about these things, but ten or twenty years down the line, he might not be able to settle his feelings.

Qin Zhiyou felt the same, the less he wanted to part, the more they needed to part. Zhongtian Steel had already made its move; he could no longer afford to be weak.
