My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 143: Chapter 144: Offsetting (4)

It was now ten o’clock at night. For Qin Zhiyou, who often worked until one or two in the morning, it was still early. On this first night, he had to appear measured, no matter how restless he was feeling, he had to keep calm.

But sheer willpower couldn’t do much good, and he couldn’t go to the study; opening and closing doors would make too much noise. He could only turn on his computer and get to work. At the same time, he asked Aunt Hao to bring up a cup of tea over the internal line. He specifically requested a large cup of strong and bitter raw Pu’er tea, which could help cool down his ardor.

Upon hearing that he wanted tea and that he had turned on his computer, Lu Weixi realized he was preparing to get down to work. Trusting him completely, she quietly cleaned up and started getting ready for bed in the background. As Aunt Hao arrived, Qin Zhiyou didn’t even glance at her, just reaching out to take the cup as she opened the door. As soon as he placed the cup on his desk, there was another knock; it was Mrs. Yang.

Looking bewildered, Mrs. Yang asked, “Why are you having Aunt Hao deliver things up here so late at night?”

Fortunately, the tea cup brought by Aunt Hao had a lid, and Yang Mogui couldn’t smell the fragrance of the tea, or else she would have grown even more suspicious. As she was wondering, Lu Weixi walked over, wearing her deep V-neck attire, “Mom, do you need anything?”

Yang Mogui glanced at what she was wearing, instantly understood, said nothing more, but just left a word, “It’s late. Don’t have things delivered up and down in the middle of the night. It disturbs people’s sleep.”

Lu Weixi sighed in relief and looked at herself. Indeed, Qin Zhiyou’s advice was correct. Thankfully she wore that attire, which spared a complicated explanation. Qin Zhiyou was relieved initially, but seeing Lu Weixi narrowly dodge the bullet, he felt somewhat aggravated.

He coldly told her, “I have work to do, don’t disturb me,” and without giving her another look, he turned and went back to his desk, turning on his computer.

The next day.

Lu Weixi had no idea when he went to bed, neither did she know when he left. When she woke up, the bed was empty again. If not for his presence in the room last night, she would have doubted whether Qin Zhiyou ever got into bed. His side of the bed was neatly arranged as if it hadn’t been used at all.

She usually woke up at this hour to go to work, but it was needless to say that Mrs. Yang Mogui would not get up so early. The worst part was that she had left her car at the company when she returned home with Mrs. Yang the day before. If not for secretary Wang who drove back to get some documents and gave her a lift on the way, she didn’t know whose car she should take to work.

When she arrived at the company, as expected, her car had a ticket on it. She had gone through so much trouble just to win that outfit and the ten thousand yuan treatment from Qin Zhiyou last night, and now this two hundred yuan fine was probably going to be her responsibility.

Due to her leave of absence yesterday, a pile of work awaited her – site visits, client meetings, she was so busy she couldn’t even leave until half past eight. It was Xiaochen who persuaded her to finally, if reluctantly, get up. It wasn’t really her workload that kept her at the office, she just didn’t feel right about going home to face Mrs. Yang and him.

Driving home and parking the car, she checked left and right like a thief. Aunt Hao replied, “Young Madam, the lady of the house is not at home.”

Almost cheering, she heard the sound of a car engine right behind her.
