Almost a month has passed since Qin Zhiyou left home.

He seems to have trimmed his hair and lost a bit of weight. His already handsome face is set off by his bright red polo, with its top three buttons worn unfastened. The style is casual and reckless; it suits him. As he took the stage, a smile lingered on the corner of his lips, and his alluring eyes twinkled. With this heart-stealing appearance, he could have swept all the women off their feet.

Accepting the microphone from the host, he spoke clearly, a smile gracing his face as he surveyed the crowd: “Thank you all for coming to Hanhai to join the event. Today is the fifth anniversary of Hanhai Shopping Center…”

His voice faltered when his gaze met Lu Weixi’s from the second floor. The break in his words, Lu Weixi thought, seemed deliberate—a double entendre, expressing both surprise and distaste.

After their brief eye contact, he swiftly shifted his gaze. His smile remained unchanged, as if seeing her was as inconsequential as a pebble, causing no ripple in his demeanor.

“… All customers can participate in the lottery, regardless of the amount spent. The first prize is a four-day, three-night inaugural cruise on the Hanhai cruise ship, the second prize is a gold bracelet from Zhang Shengsheng, and the third prize is an Orange mobile phone.”

After the announcement, he interacted with the host a few more times and then, guided by staff, exited the stage. He didn’t glance at her again or send any signals. It was as if their eye contact had been her illusion.

Lu Weixi let the thought pass quickly and got back to her meal. Her nonchalant reaction left Xue Feifei at a loss for words.

After their meal, Xue Feifei had planned to watch a movie and visit the spa. But then, out of the blue, her agent called to inform her of a retake for a production that had already wrapped. Soon, a car would come pick her up. Xue Feifei agreed, and they waited by the roadside, loaded with bags, large and small.

From a distance, Xue Feifei saw a large crowd surrounding Qin Zhiyou, reminiscent of an ancient emperor’s royal procession, complete with young and pretty female assistants. Xue Feifei remarked, “Look at all the fuss. I wonder how things are with him and Liu Yiyi. He likely dumped her. That’s probably why there are so many women after him these days.”

While she said this, Xue Feifei looked across to where he was. Standing at an easily noticeable spot right by the entrance, she saw Qin Zhiyou’s crowd gradually moving closer, and she deliberately raised her voice. “Why are you so quiet? This is an excellent opportunity. When are you going to make your move and stake your claim? If one day he tires of you and kicks you out, you won’t get much. You’ll cry then.”

Lu Weixi never raised her head, nor did she respond to the noise that was growing louder. Only after Xue Feifei finished did Lu Weixi kick a small stone away from her foot. With an indifferent expression, she murmured, “Don’t worry about me. I’m not like my mother. I won’t put on airs and let someone fool me. There’s a considerable amount of marital property, and he is surrounded by plenty of women. If that day comes, I’ll certainly not suffer. I’ll make sure to get a large chunk of his money…”

Her speech hadn’t even finished when the noise behind her suddenly hushed down for a moment..
