Qin Zhiyou instinctively reached out to support her. With one hand on her back, she was leaning against him, her head tilted upwards to meet his somewhat arrogant chin. Above his chin were his tight-lipped mouth, slightly thin. Books claimed that men with thin lips were fickle in love. However, she had to admit, it was remarkably attractive.
Strands of hair fluttered past her face and landed on his Adam’s apple. Every breath she took felt like a small hand clutching at his heart, evoking a peculiar sensation within him. His arms continued to support her steadily. He didn’t let go of her, nor did he draw her closer.
The secretary Wang up front noticed the situation and hastily said: “Oh my, Mr. Qin, it was my fault for braking so suddenly.”
Hearing this, Lu Weixi immediately got off his chest, “I’m sorry, I didn’t do that on purpose.”
She turned and saw Qin Zhiyou indeed looking upset, a face full of discontent at the contact. She quickly moved to the side, gripping the handle and trying her best not to lean against him.
When she looked back again, Qin Zhiyou was indeed looking unhappy, leaning his back on his side of the car door, casually adjusting his clothes, clearly unwilling to talk. The already compact backseat felt even tighter with the tension between them.
Fortunately, their journey proceeded without any hitches and they arrived smoothly at her company. The moment Secretary Wang parked, Lu Weixi got out and heard Qin Zhiyou’s deep voice from inside the car: “Drive.” It irritated Lu Weixi to no end. She knew Qin Zhiyou was a piece of work. Had she known, she would not have let them take her car. Deservedly late.
Before long, Secretary Wang had also dropped Qin Zhiyou off at his office. As he got out of the car, he handed him the ticket that originally belonged to Lu Weixi: “Mr. Qin, this penalty ticket…”
Qin Zhiyou accepted the ticket with a nonchalant tone: “The fine will be deducted from your salary.”
Secretary Wang started tearing up at once: “Why…. This is clearly…” Your wife’s ticket.
Standing outside the car, Qin Zhiyou chuckled, “You have the audacity to ask why? It was your responsibility to drive me back. If you hadn’t asked her for help, would we have gotten this ticket? And earlier, you braked so abruptly, causing us to collide with each other.”
Impatiently, he added: “You had better hurry back. If it takes more than forty-five minutes, you will be considered late, and attendance deduction for this month shall apply.”
Qin Zhiyou, you cheapskate! Secretary Wang immediately started the car and sped off.
Qin Zhiyou watched him go, then discreetly folded the ticket and placed it carefully in the pocket closest to his chest.
Soon, Xiaochen handed Lu Weixi the car keys that Secretary Wang returned: “He’s my neighbor. My car broke down yesterday, and today his broke down. So, I lent him my car to send someone.”
Xiaochen looked skeptical, testing the waters, “Are you two dating?”
Lu Weixi answered her with a silent look, at which Xiaochen immediately pulled in her neck: “I’m off to get to work.”
While Lu Weixi’s main business was interior design, she also dabbled in landscape design. This time she was working on an outdoor project at a city-center garden near Hanhai Group. At the height of her focus, she suddenly heard a warning yell.. A worker’s scaffolding had not been secured properly and was headed toward her!
