地震时怎样保护自己

Chapter 203 - 204: The Ring (4)

The three people sitting were none other than Qin Zhigu, along with Cai Yiren who pursued him here, and Mr. Liao, the boss of Siyi Company.

Qin Zhigu knocked over his cup, and a waiter soon came to help him clean up. During this process, his gaze was fixed on Lu Weixi not far away, not moving away for a moment.

Qin Zhiyou had naturally noticed early on. His first reaction was to turn his head and glance at Lu Weixi. Lu Weixi had her lashes slightly lowered with her expression being completely calm as though she didn’t recognize the two people in front of her at all, and had no interactions with them.

With a slight smile at the corners of his mouth, Qin Zhiyou clasped Lu Weixi’s hand, running his fingertips gently, turning it into an interlaced fingers gesture.

Lu Weixi was slightly startled. They had been married for five years and when they usually showed affection, she was the one hooking his arm, while he held her hand. But this gesture of interlaced fingers was a first for her.

This was way too intimate. There were times when she and Qin Zhigu occasionally did this gesture, but it didn’t feel as surprising as it did now.

Qin Zhiyou’s fingers were long with clear knuckles and a slightly cool palm, covered with a few light calluses. As they rubbed against each other, it felt as though an odd sensation was induced, like there was a piano string connected between them that would ring a melody at the slightest touch.

Arrangements were being made for their seats by a waiter. With a small effort from Qin Zhiyou, his strength traveled quickly from her palm to her surroundings. She subconsciously followed his steps forward.

The location where the waiter guided them to sit was right next to Qin Zhigu’s table. Even without turning around, the faintly elegant scent of shampoo could be detected from Qin Zhigu’s location. He sat upright without daring to move, hearing her delicate and gentle voice behind him, “I want a bowl of porridge and a small dish.”

Her voice was like a gentle breeze, calm and without ripples. She was entirely different from the proud and haughty person of the past, who would pout if things didn’t go her way.

Then came Qin Zhiyou’s smiling voice, “Get my wife a glass of milk, and a serving of crystal dumplings. You have to eat more, you’ve lost weight last night.”

“What nonsense are you talking about…” Her voice tinged with a slightly coquettish complaint, very low as if she didn’t want others to hear.

Wife, last night, and their interlaced fingers.

Under the unseen table edge, Qin Zhigu’s hand clenched tightly into a fist.

Qin Zhigu pretended not to see, and so did Cai Yiren, but instead, it was Mr. Liao who stood up and walked directly to Qin Zhiyou: “Hello, President Qin.”

Qin Zhiyou, sitting in his seat, slightly raised his head and greeted him politely, “Hello. This is my wife.”

Mr. Liao immediately turned to Lu Weixi, “Mrs. Qin is very beautiful, Mr. Qin is very lucky.”

Without any professional obligations, Lu Weixi immediately became aloof and dignified with an indifferent nod.

Although Siyi company is a very established company, compared to Hanhai, it pales. Mr. Liao came on board obviously to hobnob with the influential. He smiled and said, “Our table got water spilled on it, would you mind if we move over to join you for dinner?”

Qin Zhiyou glanced at Lu Weixi who was next to him, her expression was calm. Therefore, Qin Zhiyou hooked his lips, stretched out his hand, and his large hand directly covered her hand and raised his eyebrow. “Of course not. Weixi and I haven’t contacted Zhigu for quite some time. Isn’t that right, Zhigu?”
