The last word was so tiny, like a mosquito, no longer discernible.

All the warmth on Qin Zhiyou’s face froze, his expression rapidly changing. Indeed, he didn’t hear clearly what Lu Weixi said last; he didn’t want to. He even regretted that he had purposely leaned in to hear her sleep talk!

Lu Weixi in her sleep was unaware of anything, just feeling cold and snuggled closer. Qin Zhiyou’s eyes darkened, and his brows furrowed deeper. He reached out, wanting to push this woman away, but when his palm touched her shoulder, he heard her pitiful voice, “Don’t leave…”

His fingers clenched tightly into a fist, his entire body tensed up. God knows how long it took for him to relax again. He swallowed and pulled her back into his arms.

He lowered his head, his lips slightly deep as they captured the tip of her hair, teeth grinding against it in resentment, “Sometimes I really wish…”

What he wished, he didn’t say, just let out a long sigh after a long time.

Lu Weixi was awakened by the alarm clock. When she woke up, she was the only one in the room, the bed next to her was empty, Qin Zhiyou was already gone.

She hadn’t slept well the night before, mentally tired, waking up early this morning was a double attack of mental and physical exhaustion. She was even a bit worried that he might sneak back again tonight to repeat the scene. Fortunately, she had already done a part of today’s work assignment last night. After getting the basic work done, she then focused all her energy on the design of the two villas. Although the overall framework had been approved, there were still bits and pieces that needed to be filled, and the client kept adding requirements. But overall, as long as she finished within this week, it would be fine.

But Lu Weixi was in a state where she was determined to pull an all-nighter at the office, and to get the first draft out as soon as possible. Xiaochen and Xiaoqian stayed with her until eight in the evening, but couldn’t stay any longer.

They weren’t opposed to working overtime, when a project got intense overtime was inevitable. But this kind of pointless stalling…

Could it be that she was brainwashed by the much-chatter about “996 work schedule” (work from nine in the morning until nine at night, six days a week), that she wanted to adopt it as a mantra?

Xiaochen nudged Xiaoqian, who gathered up her courage to ask, “Um, Manager Lu, I have something at home…”

It was then that Lu Weixi raised her head from the computer. “Oh, you guys can go home after working. Don’t mind me.”

When they heard her words, Xiaochen and Xiaoqian were relieved and immediately started packing up. Before leaving, Xiaochen kindly brewed Lu Weixi a cup of black coffee.

Lu Weixi worked until nine before stretching and standing up. The black coffee had long since gotten cold, but she didn’t mind, holding the cup and sipping slowly.

It was just that she didn’t want to go home early; she wanted to postpone facing Qin Zhiyou as long as possible. But even coffee would eventually run out, forcing her to pack up everything and slowly head home in her car.

Dilly-dally, she didn’t reach the foot of the villa until ten thirty. She hesitated for a long time before driving into the courtyard and lazily glanced at the garage–

Huh, Qin Zhiyou’s car hasn’t come back?

Her spirit instantly roused, she excitedly asked, “Aunt Hao, where is Zhiyou?”
