Chapter 472: Chapter 473: Don’t Want to Part with You (3)

Lu Weixi attempted to slip away, but Qin Zhiyou had already seized both her wrists. He nudged his elbow, causing her to spin around in her rotating chair. She tried to push him away, but he pivoted her forcefully.

“Qin…” Lu Weixi didn’t utter a single word for the next hour.

One hour later.

Qin Zhiyou gently brushed away the damp hair from her forehead, using his arm to pull her into his embrace.

He could actually sense that Lu Weixi wasn’t as strongly resistant to him as before.

Perhaps his previous assurance that he wouldn’t have another female companion provided her with a sense of security. Or maybe it was because he had landed a heavy hit on Bai Changyou, thereby venting her anger. Or perhaps it was because he had done his best to care for her mother when she fell ill. Or possibly, she feared that her mother wouldn’t have as many medical resources in the event of a divorce. So, when her mother suggested a divorce, she didn’t agree immediately.

But not agreeing immediately doesn’t mean she didn’t harbour such thoughts. Just now, after mentioning the idea of wanting to conceive a child with her, she remained silent.

Their relationship was already hanging by a thread. Just when things started to slightly improve, more issues sprung up. What can he do to salvage their marriage?

If the conventional methods prove useless, then what about another way? Like having a child.

It’s said that a child is a mother’s soft spot and the strongest bond. It depends on her attitude towards her mother. If she has a child, will she also…

When Qin Zhiyou thought of this, his eyes slightly darkened. Slowly extending his hand towards her, he barely moved an inch when Lu Weixi sensed something and stirred.

Lu Weixi was actually not asleep yet, but she didn’t know how to face him, so she decided not to speak a word.

She actually didn’t want it to be this way. With a mind consumed by numerous unresolved matters, she had passively become intimate with him. Fortunately, he had the sense to take precautions. If not, her efforts in recuperating over the past few months would have been in vain.

Eh, wait a second! Her previous convalescence, although intended to prepare for pregnancy, was predominantly used as an excuse to fend off Mrs. Yang Mogui as she and Qin Zhiyou hadn’t progressed that far in their relationship. However, Qin Zhiyou just now explicitly stated that he wanted a child, he wanted her to bear his child.

The subject of children had always been their taboo. Over the past five years, their conflict following her miscarriage had ultimately destroyed the small traces of affection from their honeymoon years, resulting in a cold war up till present.

Since then, Qin Zhiyou had been extra cautious, either practicing safe sex himself or making her take contraception, and never addressing the issue of children again.

But how could she bear a child for him now? Not to mention they were both incredibly busy with their work, even if her mother were strongly supportive of their marriage, she would not necessarily want to get pregnant at this time. After all, the caretaker can’t tend to her mother entirely, so she has to do her part.

Moreover, the most important thing is, she couldn’t let her mother experience further disturbances. Her mother couldn’t handle even the slightest shock.

Lu Weixi shifted slightly, immediately detected by Qin Zhiyou. He softly kissed her forehead, his voice husky, “Awake?”

Lu Weixi hummed an affirmation, slowly nodding her head.

The two of them nestled together, each lost in their own thoughts, neither spoke. After a long silence, they both started to speak at the same time, “Actually…”
