Chapter 480: Chapter 481 Girlfriend (5)

It was already quite late, eleven o’clock.

He gently pushed open the bedroom door, only to find that Lu Weixi was still not resting and was still sitting in front of the computer, working.

Lu Weixi had taken several days off recently and had accumulated a lot of work. Moreover, she was going to help her mother move rooms in the hospital tomorrow, which meant she had to leave work early.

Besides, her mother wanted her to divorce Qin Zhiyou and would surely be displeased with Qin Zhiyou bringing a bunch of people to help move her room. That meant she would have to endure the hardship herself.

Although she wasn’t a perfectionist at work, she definitely didn’t want to just muddle through. Since she couldn’t devote enough time at work, she would have to shoulder more at home.

When Qin Zhiyou entered the room, he found that in order to work better, she had even put on headphones and hadn’t noticed his arrival.

People often say that a working man is the most handsome, but he thought that a working woman was truly beautiful. Lu Weixi wasn’t just mechanically following orders; she was sketching. Sometimes, when the computer seemed insufficient, she would revert to the traditional pen and paper, uncapping her pen and letting it dance freely across the white paper whenever she had a pause.

When Qin Zhiyou entered the room, he saw her holding a pen, glancing at the computer screen, and then lowering her head to look at her sketch, occasionally writing and drawing on the paper. This reminded him of the past when he would secretly follow her and Qin Zhigu. So many times, she would be designing something, with such a relaxed demeanor and heartfelt devotion. It was truly beautiful.

Finally, after Lu Weixi figured out some data and hastily jotted down notes, she saved the document with satisfaction and turned off the computer.

When her mind returned from her work, she immediately noticed Qin Zhiyou behind her. She took off her headphones and turned her head, “When did you come?”

“Not too long ago.” He had been watching her for about ten minutes.

In the past, when Qin Zhiyou felt frustrated with work, he didn’t know how to unwind. But now, seeing his wife, he felt his worries instantly vanish. He gently said: “How about you work in the study from now on?”

Perhaps this is what they meant by ‘a man and a woman working together makes work less tiring’. Having her by his side, even work felt much easier.

“Did I disturb your rest?” She was working in the bedroom, which would definitely affect him if he wanted to rest there.

Qin Zhiyou shook his head: “No, it’s just that it’s already eleven. You’re working this hard and they’re not even paying you extra.”

Lu Weixi said, “I took several days off previously. Tomorrow, I have to help mom move to a regular ward, so I need to leave work early.”

“What’s so challenging about that? Just tell me when you’re moving the room, and I’ll send someone to help…”

As soon as Qin Zhiyou got to this point, he paused slightly when he noticed the somewhat awkward expression on Lu Weixi’s face. He instantly realized that her mother held a strong dislike for him, and probably she wouldn’t want to accept his help.

The atmosphere stalled for a moment. Then, Qin Zhiyou noticed a tiny black dot on her face; she probably had accidentally touched it with her pen.

So, he pointed to his own face, on the same spot. Lu Weixi was a bit confused. First, she looked at Qin Zhiyou’s face, then touched her own, “What? Is there something on my face?”

Seeing Lu Weixi fumbling around, Qin Zhiyou moved closer to her, leaned in, and kissed the spot where her pen had made a mark.
