Qin Zhiyou seemed to have just finished showering and only had a towel wrapped around his lower torso. Seeing that she came back, he did not say anything, but when their eyes met, a sharp sword seemed to appear in his pitch-black eyes, as if he was about to see through to her heart. His eyes were so sharp that one could not even disguise themselves.

“You’re back?” It was a question and not a statement.

Why was he back? Was the extra paid feature last night unsatisfying or did he come to seek revenge for Liu Yiyi? How much of the call did he hear?

Qin Zhiyou ignored her.

After one glance, he took a towel to wipe his hair in a disinterested manner. His long and powerful leg muscle lines were obvious, and his firm chest did not have any fat, in addition to the eight pack abdominals that heralded his torso. One glance at his body and one would know that it was the result of regular exercise. His slightly long fringe was still dripping water on his forehead. Not only his head, but the water droplets on the rest of his body had not been wiped yet, quickly forming a puddle where he was standing.

Lu Weixi was slightly dazed. Even though they had been married for five years and had been intimate countless times, she rarely looked straight at his body like this. She lowered her head and said, “I’ll get a bigger towel for you.”

The towels were in the closet behind him. Lu Weixi followed the wall and walked forward two steps before she was stopped by a long arm.

Qin Zhiyou’s right arm held the wall as he stood diagonally in front of her. Lu Weixi pressed her lips against each other and turned around to walk somewhere else, but he raised his left arm and blocked her path.

Qin Zhiyou tilted his head and his peach-like eyes curved up. Even though his smile was dazzling, his words were unnecessarily cruel. “What, are you embarrassed to look at me? What part have you not seen in my entire body?”

Lu Weixi was not angry, as she calmly looked up at the strange smile on Qin Zhiyou’s face and slowly said, “If you don’t need it, I’ll go out first.”

Qin Zhiyou stared at her quietly for a while, before lowering down his muscular upper body as he inched closer toward her. “Why are you so hardworking today? You want more money? Is wiping my body included in the extra fifty thousand dollars yesterday?”

Lu Weixi knitted her brows. If the person talking was not Qin Zhiyou, she would have long slapped him. However, when she thought of the monthly one hundred and twenty thousand dollars medical bill, the fifty thousand dollars she just borrowed from Xue Feifei and her superior yelling ‘if you dare to mess up another deal, get out of here immediately’.

Taking in a deep breath, she maintained a smile and tried to say gently, “It’s a wife’s duty to take care of her husband. Of course, it’ll be better if you can give me more money…”

Once she finished her sentence, Qin Zhiyou suddenly retracted his arm holding the wall and threw away the towel wrapped around his waist, before changing into pajamas. “How can I trouble you with such a small matter? I even need to add money for such a service.”

Lu Weixi almost spat out blood. Does he, the Eldest Young Master Qin, lack money? Not mentioning anything else, he was most likely the one that gave Liu Yiyi her flat.

Luckily, after Qin Zhiyou changed into his pajamas, he did not harass her anymore and did not ask what happened today, as he directly went to the neighboring study.

1 am.

Lu Weixi just came out of the shower and the bedroom light was turned off. She walked out in her slippers as she dried her hair. The moment she took away her towel, she suddenly realized that Qin Zhiyou was leaning against the head of the bed and staring at her without blinking.
