My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me
Chapter 1269 - Chapter 1269 Chapter 1262 Surgery (8)

Chapter 1269: Chapter 1262: Surgery (8) Chapter 1269: Chapter 1262: Surgery (8) Lu Weixi was startled, that ball, although it was a soccer ball intended for children, thudded distinctly when it hit the ground, clearly indicating it wasn’t a balloon and carried some weight. A direct kick to her stomach like that would definitely cause serious trouble! She normally didn’t stoop to Bai Wei Yi’s level, but she hadn’t expected the little brat to actually dare to kick a ball at her! However, the ball was coming too fast, and for a moment she didn’t react.

Lu Weixi became so anxious she eventually closed her eyes, but at the critical moment, it was Qin Zhiyou who reached out, his palm perfectly intercepting the incoming ball. He wasn’t about to prioritize face over substance; after lightly bouncing the ball on the ground, he promptly smacked it onto Bai Wei Yi’s head.

Previously, Bai Wei Yi had been beaten up by Qin Zhiyou once before, and now being at his mercy again, he was hit and started crying loudly. Qin Zhiyou, who had experience with this, didn’t bother with those who came out to see, and merely spoke indifferently, “If I catch you throwing a ball at someone again, I’ll toss you and the ball out together!”

Cai Yiren’s mother came out to protect her son, but Qin Zhiyou didn’t say anything, just gave her a cool glance, “Oh, how come, this child’s uncle didn’t come? I had thought, considering how close you two seem, wherever you go, his uncle always follows.”

It was a seemingly straightforward remark, and Cai’s mother was certain that no one else knew about her and her cousin’s affairs besides herself, her cousin, and Cai Yiren who had accidentally stumbled upon them. However, when Qin Zhiyou spoke, his gaze was filled with such playful sharpness, it always felt like there was a deeper meaning to his words–especially since his eyes kept glancing at Bai Changyou, with a teasing and mocking undertone.

Cai’s mother was frightened, comforting her son for a long time. Qin Zhiyou ignored them and went inside with Lu Weixi.

As they entered, Qin Zhimei pursed her lips, clearly not wanting to deal with her. Qin Zhizha, on the other hand, was still smiling, “Sister-in-law really puts on airs. We haven’t seen her for months.”

Having returned to the Qin Family estate, running into Cai Yiren and Bai Changyou as soon as she arrived, then encountering the unwelcoming faces of the third branch’s members and the second branch, who seemed indifferent but had their own motives, as well as Yang Mogui who had never been quite satisfied with her–the familiar family atmosphere was back.

Lu Weixi was unsure what she felt at the moment–whether it was the luck of being out of this family or an odd sense of familiarity yet estrangement.

Her current concerns didn’t revolve around her struggles with Bai Changyou or Cai Yiren. All she thought about was her work, her mother’s illness, and the little troublemaker growing in her belly. Regarding all these overt and covert battles, she surprisingly felt a vague sense of distance.

The only difference was that upon seeing her, Grandpa Qin, sitting at the center, got up with the help of his cane, “Wei Hui, come with me.”

Qin Zhiyou and she exchanged glances. Qin Zhiyou, holding her hand, said, “Grandpa, I’ll come with you too.”

Grandpa Qin didn’t even acknowledge his grandson’s words, took two steps forward and, seeing Lu Weixi hadn’t followed, added, “Come here.”

Lu Weixi then let go of the hand, quickened her pace, and caught up.

Grandpa Qin didn’t lead her to his study but to his own room instead. His bedroom was the largest room in the entire Qin household, and it was Lu Weixi’s first time entering. Upon entering, she saw an entire wall filled with bookshelves, laden with books.

The moment they entered, Grandpa ordered, “Close the door behind you.”
