Chapter 228 - 229: Love Impotence Syndrome (1)
Qin Zhigu and Kong Jie didn’t notice Qin Weijian’s expression. An arm of Qin Weijian was resting on his son’s shoulder, and so Qin Zhigu thought his father was comforting him. He spoke softly, “Dad, you don’t need to worry about me.”
Five years had gone by, and in the depths of his heart, she was still there. He would still space out, worry, and feel mental strain because of her. But, after all, love wasn’t everything in life.
Moreover, it was a love that had gone, that couldn’t be chased anymore.
He had his career and his parents. Even if he couldn’t forget her, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to let his parents worry for him continually.
When he looked back, he saw a bit of a fearful look in his father’s eyes, and he frowned, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
As soon as he shouted, Kong Jie also looked back. Qin Weijian quickly reacted and laughed, “I must be seeing things; something just blew into my eye, it’s nothing.”
Indeed, when he focused again, the thing that was there just now was gone.
Qin Zhigu hadn’t returned for five years. Although Qin Weijian and Kong Jie occasionally went abroad to reunite with their son during these five years, it was not the same as being together all the time. Moreover, as a son, he didn’t dare to provoke his parents’ dignity. When Qin Weijian said nothing was wrong and Qin Zhigu saw his parents talking and laughing, there was no sign of anything unusual.
After a while of observation, seeing that his father was fine, Qin Zhigu breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, he wasn’t the 22-year-old him who would leave home for several years because of his ex-girlfriend marrying his older brother and flaunting their love daily. His parents were getting old, he had finished his studies, and it was time for him to return and stay with them.
Nevertheless, he raised his head and looked at Lu Weixi, who was walking away with Qin Zhiyou. The melancholy in his eyes accumulated bit by bit until they left, and he sighed deeply.
As Qin Zhigu watched Lu Weixi, Cai Yiren further away was also watching him. Without Lu Weixi’s care and Qin Zhigu’s help, and with her mother and Bai Changyou not being there, she was still the wild girl always in fear and confusion.
On the other side of the cabin, Qin Zhimei was chasing after Yu Sixing all over the place, forcing Yu Sixing to seek refuge with the group of people led by He Weiyou.
Yu Sihua and Huang Qichu watched from a distance, standing on the deck laughing, “Look at Zhimei chasing after my brother like she’s possessed. She even promised to follow us on our flight back home tomorrow, and she even changed her flight. Sure, we are good, a mutual love.”
After she had talked for a while, Huang Qichu didn’t respond. Of course, he was not a talkative person, but at that moment, as he stared at the distant sea, he was thinking of another woman.
All the young people had their concerns, but as time went by and everyone had left the deck, in room two, Qin Weijian was repeatedly asking his assistant, “Are you sure you didn’t see that person? Look again, bring the passenger list, and let me see!”
The assistant immediately left and returned after a short while, “The passenger list is with the CEO.”
Because Qin Zhiyou had previously checked Lu Weixi’s room number and asked Secretary Wang to introduce the guests to Lu Weixi, he had kept the list.
Qin Weijian felt a little disappointed upon hearing this, but it was not suitable to ask Qin Zhiyou for the list. After a while, he said, “When we disembark tomorrow, you leave last and observe carefully..”
