Chapter 595: Chapter 597: Trust Me Again (3)
“A married couple should face challenges together, instead of you keeping everything to yourself, shouldering all the burdens alone. I am your husband. You don’t have to forge ahead alone when necessary, you can lean on me.”
Lu Weixi felt a bit surprised. Since when did she stop trusting or relying on others?
Was it since her parents’ divorce, when she broke up with Qin Zhigu? Her loved ones proved unreliable, and her much-trusted mother took ill, needing her to be the support.
Who could she rely on then? Qin Zhiyou? Although he just spoke bravely in front of the Qin family, and pledged to his grandfather about his loyalty, she… still didn’t dare to trust him.
Even if he had spoken those words a bit earlier tonight, she might have considered them more credible. Unfortunately, he only made those vows after her mother strongly objected against their relationship. That’s why she wasn’t moved at all; instead, she felt utterly exhausted.
Now, Qin Zhiyou was asking her to lean on him?
Could she trust him? Could she completely give herself to him and consider him a support?
She didn’t even need to voice these questions, as she knew the answer straight away: She couldn’t.
After being betrayed by her father and boyfriend, her sense of security was already at an all-time low. How could she trust a playboy like Qin Zhiyou and depend on him?
Seeing the look on her face, Qin Zhiyou could more or less guess what she wanted to say. He sighed, blaming his too stable image and the fact that they had been at odds for five years over that incident.
He sighed again and pulled her into his arms. She resisted a bit, but Qin Zhiyou said, “I know. I was… a little too aggressive before. I won’t do that again.”
He promised her while sitting next to her, but Lu Weixi was still quite stiff.
She hung her head, torn between wanting to believe him or not. She could feel that Qin Zhiyou was sincere in what he was saying at this moment. But could this sincerity last? Could it continue as they grew older?
“Wei Hui.” Qin Zhiyou suddenly called out her name, and made her look into his eyes.
Lu Weixi was slightly reluctant. Even when he forced her to face him, her eyes stubbornly avoided his.
“Look at me.”
Qin Zhiyou commanded again, and Lu Weixi finally looked up. Even then, her expression said, “So what if I look at you?”
“I know what you’re worried about. But you’re in my heart, and I’m in yours. Since we have started to love each other, why not give it a try? After all, we’re already married.” While saying this, Qin Zhiyou reached out and took her hand. “Give me another chance, okay?”
Lu Weixi stared into his eyes. His eyes were deep and quiet, like a secluded spring reflecting her image.
She was a bit unsure and scared. She had never been indecisive. When faced with Qin Zhigu’s infidelity, she decisively broke up with him, then threw herself into Qin Zhiyou’s arms, cutting off all ties without leaving a chance for reconciliation.
However, when it came to Qin Zhiyou, when it came to an unstable romance, she truly hesitated.
While she was hesitating, Qin Zhiyou wasn’t. The hand that was holding her chin didn’t let go, and he gently lifted it to bring her face a little closer to his, then slowly leaned in…
