Translator: 549690339

She was dressed in a long dress, her black hair cascading down in a waterfall, her face tender and radiant, smirking with a high and noble pride. She was indeed like a little princess, a beloved sweetheart. But the moment she met his gaze, a flash of awe swept over her eyes. Of course, this awe was quickly interrupted by a slap from the woman standing in front of him.

However, this was not surprising, as he had seen such initial awe and disdain from countless women when they first encountered him. However, on her face, he saw bewilderment, pity, and sadness apart from the awe and disdain, not for her misjudging him, but for him. It seemed as if he, being such a person, should not have such a life.

A wind blew by, the petals from the flowers on the trees fluttered down, each piece dancing like an elf.

Though he felt a bit foolish, at that moment, he thought he had truly seen her gaze, and the gentle heart beneath her proud exterior. It was like the saying in “Dream of the Red Chamber” – “I’ve seen this sister before”.

When I first meet you, it’s like seeing an old friend return.

Hence, he took a second glance at her.

But it was only a glance, he remembered the glimpse of tenderness in her eyes, however, due to his study-abroad exchange, he temporarily put her out of his mind.

It wasn’t until a month later, when he returned to the large mansion of the Qin family, that he saw her standing beside his younger brother. All the softness in her eyes was given to Qin Zhigu. When she saw him, she was slightly surprised, but quickly adjusted her emotions, called him “big brother” politely yet distantly.

Qin Zhiyou squinted, his slender fingers pinching a osmanthus cake, almost crushing it. It was not until He Weiyou called him that he withdrew his gaze. With a flick of his finger, he put the whole cake into his mouth and swallowed it. Then his slender fingers slowly wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth, also skimming over the injured lip crease. 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The osmanthus cake was supposed to be sweet, but due to the over-steeped Pu-erh tea he had afterward, his tongue tasted a hint of bitterness.

Then he stood up, picked up the coat nearby, buttoning it up as he walked outside. Yu Sixing and He Weiyou got up and followed him: “Hey, Zhiyou, where are you going?”

Where is he going? He isn’t going anywhere.

He is still at work right now, of course, he’s going to the company. He still had a mountain of work on his table, so it’s was impossible for him to stay here playing tennis leisurely.

But after work…

Today Lu Weixi came home very early. Tomorrow is the weekend, after a hectic week she could finally rest. She was raring to go out with Xue Feifei. As she drove into the villa, she saw a Mercedes parked quietly in the garage and slightly hesitated.

From the living room, she saw him without needing to go upstairs. Qin Zhiyou was sitting on the sofa, his legs crossed, appearing to have just taken a bath. The wet hair from his head stuck to his forehead, dripping wet. After seeing her, he demonstrated no interest and continued looking at his phone absorbedly. novelbuddy.co(m)

However, his return was a good thing since she had something to say to him.

Aunt Hao brought in some tea. Lu Weixi took it and instructed, “Aunt Hao, could you ask the maids to leave for a while?”

Aunt Hao was a bit puzzled, but she nodded anyway and gestured for the maids to leave the hall. Lu Weixi held her tea and sat down next to Qin Zhiyou on the sofa. Setting down her cup, she said, “Zhiyou, I have a few things that I want to say..”
