Upon reconsideration, she thought it would be impossible for Qin Zhiyou to come back, as he was out of town and wasn’t due to return until the day after tomorrow.

She twisted her head to glance at the alarm clock beside her; it was only seven o’clock, and at this time neither high-speed trains nor planes were operating. Even if Qin Zhiyou wanted to come back, he wouldn’t be able to.

It must be Yang Mogui then. Even though she didn’t know where Yang Mogui had gone to play this time, she would definitely return if summoned by the Qin family patriarch.

Besides, her mother-in-law was quite easy to handle. She was aloof, but that distance sported its own advantages, like now, she didn’t have to get up extra early to appease her, or constantly work to curry favor.

Yang Mogui didn’t like her much either, so both parties maintained their roles as detached and indifferent in-laws, practicing basic etiquette was enough.

But then, as the car came to a stop, a hurried set of footstep sounds followed, which piqued Lu Weixi’s curiosity.

This sound, these steps, why did it feel like——– Qin Zhiyou had come back?

She kicked off the comforter and got up, Qin Zhigu in the next room also rose. Everyone else in the Qin family was sound asleep at this time, no one else would be up.

As soon as she opened the door, there was the rapid “thump, thump, thump” of footsteps outside and following closely was the travel-worn face of Qin Zhiyou appearing right before her eyes!

Lu Weixi was a bit taken aback: “Aren’t you supposed to return the day after tomorrow?”

Initially, Qin Zhigu didn’t react much, but upon hearing this sentence, he couldn’t help but glance over.

Lu Weixi was dressed in a cooling nightgown. And since she was wearing a nightshirt, naturally, there was no need for a bra. Similarly, Qin Zhigu was just in his pajamas. The sight wasn’t lost on Qin Zhiyou, even if he were in the next room, and his eyes promptly squinted.

The original wondering about why Qin Zhiyou returned so early, whether there were problems with the company, important matters, or other difficulties that necessitated him to return earlier, was now clear to Lu Weixi after she saw him squinting at Qin Zhigu. Even if Qin Zhigu wasn’t the main reason, he was definitely one of them. Without Qin Zhigu, even though he may have returned a bit earlier, he would not have come back this much earlier.

Like in the past, whenever he left, he’d be gone for a month and he’d never come back early.

Before she could get a word in, Qin Zhiyou pushed her into the room and immediately closed the door. As soon as the door was shut, Qin Zhiyou began questioning: “When did you arrive yesterday?”

“After you called in the afternoon.”

“And him?”

Even though he didn’t specify who this “him” was, Lu Weixi knew that he was referring to Qin Zhigu.

“How would I know? I arrived around dinner time and he was already there. After dinner, I went upstairs to work and I hardly left the room.”

Her room had a bathroom, a washroom, and her wardrobe. She didn’t need to step outside except for meals. Qin Zhiyou heaved a slight sigh of relief.

Last night, he felt uneasy after ending the call. Originally, he had to inspect a place today and had a dinner party in the evening. Thinking of her returning alone to the mansion and undoubtedly meeting Qin Zhigu, he became restless. He skipped the inspection, moved the dinner party to last night, and rushed to the airport right after it ended to catch the last flight. Unfortunately, he encountered air traffic control and didn’t take off until half past three in the morning. It was nearly six o’clock when he arrived in Yan City, then he took a taxi here.

It was not so much that he was afraid they would do something in one night, but he was worried about her peace of mind..
