Chapter 1433: Chapter 1426: Tailgating (12)

He wasn’t sure if Zhao Zihuan or Bai Changyou would lay their hands on her. Maybe they wouldn’t, but if there was even a one in ten thousand chance, he wouldn’t want to gamble with it. If he was by her side, they wouldn’t need these two bodyguards; he would personally take her to and from work. But since he was absent, other measures were needed.

"I have nothing to worry about. But you, although work demands effort, you also need to take care of your health. You haven’t had many good nights of sleep recently, have you? Your eyes are all bloodshot."

Lu Weixi reached out and touched the corner of his eyes, "Haven’t you noticed? You’ve started to develop some wrinkles there."

Qin Zhiyou smiled, which deepened the lines further. It was strange, though; wrinkles make a woman look several years older in an instant. But for men, they sometimes symbolize maturity and charm. Particularly for someone like Qin Zhiyou, who recently has gotten much tanner and rougher. It toned down his overly pale complexion and the frivolity of his peach-blossom eyes. It was as if he had grown up overnight.

"What, you’re despising me?" Qin Zhiyou held her hand, his smile gentle, especially with the dim bedside lamp casting a warm glow over him, making him look wise, calm, and tender.

"Yeah, I’m despising you. You were already older than me, and now you look even older."

"It’s no use despising me; there’s cargo in your belly." Qin Zhiyou hugged her, his chin resting on her hair, "I’m sorry, it’s the hardest time for you right now, and I can’t be by your side. From the beginning of the pregnancy till now, I haven’t been much help. My family not only can’t assist but also holds you back. And you still travel back and forth to work every day, I really am... too irresponsible."

"What are you talking about? I don’t want to stay at your place, nor do I want to sit idle at home. Going to work is my own choice, it’s got nothing to do with you. If anything, I feel useless myself, less helpful to you during tough times than Fang Rushuang. She can be your strong supporter, assisting you in your career. But all I can do is send you messages from home, saying trivial things like ’Keep up the hard work.’"

"Trivial? That’s magic medicine. As long as I have the support of you and our child, I’ll definitely not lose." It wasn’t until this moment that Qin Zhiyou felt a warm and comfortable sense of daily life. A peace he never experienced in his twenty-something years at home. Though arguing and acting capriciously with Lu Weixi while dating was sweet, this warmth of having a wife and child was something he felt for the first time in his life.

"I feel the same. I must strive hard in the future, aim for higher professional certificates, and become the best designer on my own merit. I won’t embarrass you."

Qin Zhiyou nodded. The two of them leaned together and murmured for a long time, as if they were trying to share the experiences, pains, hardships, and future aspirations that had accumulated during their time apart. The bedside lamp stayed on for a long time, until the skies turned pale, then it was switched off.

Qin Zhiyou tucked her in properly, kissed her forehead gently, and then got out of bed quietly to pack up; he had a meeting in the morning and had to fly to another place in the evening. He had squeezed out some time to come see her yesterday.

But it was okay, he was almost at the point of crushing his opponent, then he could come back to accompany her every day.

As he left, he instructed the two bodyguards, "You guys must watch closely, ensure her safety at all costs."
