Chapter 487: Chapter 488: Parting Ways (3)

After Qin Zhiyou finished speaking, he took another look at the necklace, then at her. Her eyes were clear, reflecting his own image, and he curved his lips slightly and added, “It’s beautiful.”

In saying ‘beautiful,’ he was looking at Lu Weixi, and not sharing any of that compliment with the necklace around her neck.

Lu Weixi felt both sweet and sour inside. Whatever Qin Zhiyou had just said, whether it was sweet or sour, was sincerely meant for her. He was willing to spend money on her, willing to buy her jewellery, stated that the jewellery wouldn’t be divided among property assets. Regardless of whether he was teasing or speaking the truth, it was clear that he really fell for her.

However, in his words, it seemed as if he hinted that there might be a change in the future.

What kind of change, was he hinting that he could change his mind again?

She had been unable to resist her feelings for Qin Zhiyou recently because he had promised that there would be no other women. If there were to be… she definitely wouldn’t tolerate it again! No matter how much she liked him, she would not share a man with other women.

She immediately turned around, took off the necklace, and thrust it into his hand: “If that’s your plan, I won’t accept this gift.”

Lu Weixi’s sudden change of expression startled Qin Zhiyou. She handed the necklace back to the sales clerk and went out. It was crowded outside. Qin Zhiyou hesitated for a moment, grabbed her arm, and led her to the parking lot.

Outside, Lu Weixi didn’t resist and followed him all the way to the car. The door closed, the parking-lot was dimly lit, and the car was very quiet. Neither of them said a word.

Qin Zhiyou didn’t know why she was suddenly angry. Although she obediently got in the car and sat in the passenger seat, her silence felt like she was drawing a clear boundary between them.

Was it because the necklace was too expensive, because she didn’t like it, or for some other reason?

Qin Zhiyou wanted to reach over and help her with her seat belt, but was slapped away by Lu Weixi, who said coldly, “I can do it myself.”

Having said this, she actually turned her head and buckled her own seat belt.

Qin Zhiyou was pushed away by her, looking displeased. He wanted to touch her cheek, but was rejected again, “Don’t touch me!”

Qin Zhiyou asked, “Are you upset?”

Lu Weixi stayed silent, only frowning.

After two seconds of silence, Qin Zhiyou asked, “You’re not… about to get your period, are you?”

It’s said that women tend to be particularly irritable when their period is approaching!

Lu Weixi: “…”

She felt like laughing, but also felt angry. However, what surfaced afterwards was a profound sense of helplessness.

She guessed she was in a honeymoon period with Qin Zhiyou now, as he had already been thinking about property separation. How could she surrender her emotions and settle down with him to have children?

And then there was her mother…

She raised her head and leaned it back to the headrest: “Qin Zhiyou, I am not in the mood to play love games with you. If you like another woman, just tell me straight away. I can step aside and leave with my mom to go abroad for her treatment.”

Qin Zhiyou frowned, “What are you talking about?”

And by going abroad for her mother’s treatment, did she mean she would never come back?

Qin Zhiyou immediately became anxious. He leaned over quickly, “I already swore in front of my grandfather, that there would be no other women for me.”

“Yes, you did swear.” But was a marriage bound by oaths what she needed? What she wanted was a husband who loved her, not a marriage of convenience under pressure.
