Chapter 38: Love at First Sight (2)

Qin Zhiyou had been a little curious originally and he thought that she would say something, but she just blurted out ‘the pill’.

“I was in a rush this morning, so I didn’t get a chance to take it. I’ll deal with it at home tonight. Don’t worry, I won’t cause any problems for you.”

As Lu Weixi said this, she studied Qin Zhiyou’s expression. He did not react, and his eyes were as cold as they always were. He even scoffed after she finished speaking. “Good, you’re really a qualified wife. How thoughtful.”

Lu Weixi wanted to reply, but Qin Zhiyou retracted his smile. “Also, don’t come up with all sorts of random excuses to hop into my car. It’s inconvenient.”

“Bang!” He then slammed the door shut, hard. Lu Weixi could barely get away in time and the door almost scratched her. Before she could react, the car pulled away, leaving a string of dust behind.

What the heck?

Lu Weixi kicked the pebbles around angrily. You think I wanted to get into your lousy car? Not everyone’s crying to get into your car, not to mention that it leaks fuel.

Tidying her clothes, she grabbed her bag and headed across the street in her high heels. At the base of the building, Lu Weixi checked on her car first. It was fine, but she had received a two hundred dollar ticket for illegal parking. With a ferocious scowl, she tore the slip up angrily.

I wonder if Qin Zhiyou will reimburse me for this.

…

In the car, Secretary Wang reported on the situation within the corporation. Although everything appeared to be fine on the surface, there were undercurrents simmering beneath. Qin Zhiyou too had an important meeting later. He had been busy the last few days, and the dinner from last night was no exception. Secretary Wang spent the entire night collating Qin Zhiyou’s ideas, but he received no response.

Sneaking a glance through the rear-view mirror, Secretary Wang saw Qin Zhiyou staring at his documents, pursing his lips as he frowned. His fingers were scrunched up around the documents like they were his enemy. It was scrunched up into a ball.

When Qin Zhiyou came to his senses, his fingers flattened the document again. As he was tidying up the documents, he noticed that there was a shiny object left behind by Lu Weixi. Qin Zhiyou picked it up with his fingers and examined it. It was a hairclip.

Secretary Wang saw it too. “CEO Qin, should we turn back and return it to Young Madam?”

Qin Zhiyou glared at him. “What lousy thing is this? Is it even worth five bucks? I have a meeting to attend to. We’re talking about a contract worth five billion dollars. Are you going to compensate me if we’re late?”

Secretary Wang shuddered. The five-billion-dollar contract you speak of has been crumpled into a ball. Without another thought, he stepped on the gas and the car flew.

Qin Zhiyou held onto the hair clip as his expression changed. After staring at it for a while, his frown deepened. “Turn back.”

…

In the small conference room, Lu Weixi tidied her hair and handed down the feedback she received from her customers for her recent orders. During her presentation, suddenly knocked on the door. “Lu Weixi, a handsome man is looking for you downstairs. He said his last name’s Qin.”
