Chapter 1431: Chapter 1424: Tailgating (10)

Qin Zhiyou knew how hard his work was, so when she just complained, it was merely lip service, yet she still wanted to show him care.

Although she was at odds with Bai Changyou, her mother was seriously ill at home, and there were quite a few people in the business world who were envious of her, compared to the pressures Qin Zhiyou faced, her problems were truly trivial. He grew up fatherless, and with a mother like that. Although his grandfather was fond of him, he couldn’t give all his love to him, and he had to lie low amidst everyone’s hostility, seize power, and then tread on thin ice in managing it, not daring to slack off in the slightest. If he did even a little poorly, he would have been taken down by his uncles and aunts long ago, and Hanhai would have been ruined. Even when he did well, he still had to watch out for family members trying to trip him up.

Originally, Lu Weixi had meant to tell him about the tailing car she encountered on the road, but seeing how tired Qin Zhiyou was, she swallowed her words.

She wasn’t well known, and people outside didn’t even know they remarried. Who would harm her? Thinking it over, among the people she offended, those who would go so far as to target her were probably from the Lulu company, like Manager Li and the like.

Besides, it was broad daylight now, not a place with a bad public order. Who would have the time to deal with her? Was it necessary? Moreover, in another month, she would probably stop going to work and stay at home for pregnancy care. By then, who would still want to harm her?

But now, with Qin Zhiyou resting on her, she shifted her position slightly to let him sleep more comfortably. However, Qin Zhiyou frowned, seemingly not liking her casual movements. Lu Weixi could only gently adjust his position for him, pulled a blanket over him, dimmed the electric lights, and, with one hand supporting his head and her elbow propped on the desk supporting her own head, she too squinted her eyes to rest.

Who knows how long had passed before Qin Zhiyou woke up from his dream, twisting his head. As he moved slightly, the blanket on him slipped off. Opening his sleepy eyes, he saw only the dim light where Lu Weixi, with her hand supporting her head, was resting peacefully. Although it was a view from below - "a death angle" - Lu Weixi, six months pregnant, only had a big belly, without gaining weight anywhere else, and even had her jawline slightly thinned out due to hard work.

She wasn’t like her mother who only cared about money and neglected worldly affairs, nor was she a wastrel like Qin Zhimei. She had her own thoughts, her own pursuits, and although he felt it was somewhat hard on her, as long as she could persevere, he would continue to support her.

Qin Zhiyou watched her for a while, but also knew that resting on her legs must be uncomfortable. He got up quietly, but still ended up waking Lu Weixi.

As she woke up, Qin Zhiyou simply rose and said, "You’re awake?"

"Mhm," she nodded, and turned to look at the clock - it was already one o’clock in the morning.

"It’s so late," Lu Weixi yawned, preparing to get up, "I’m going to wash up."

Perhaps because her leg had been under Qin Zhiyou for too long, it was a bit numb, and she staggered when she walked. Qin Zhiyou walked up to her side, bent down, and neatly scooped her into his arms.

Lu Weixi was stunned for a moment and quickly wrapped her arms around his neck to avoid a fall.

Qin Zhiyou simply said, "I’m worried you’ll hurt my daughter."

It seemed as if he hadn’t said a word about her, but the lingering smile on his face wasn’t fake.
