But she quickly regained her composure and said, “So what? She couldn’t outshine me even when she was Zhiyou’s fiancee. What can she do now? Besides, they were only engaged, not married. People can break up even when dating and can divorce even after marriage. What’s the big deal?”

Qin Zhigu stared at Lu Weixi as if he was looking at a stranger. In just five years, it felt as if her essence had changed. Her character had changed, her bottom line had changed, and even her values had changed.

He felt a twinge of pain and regret in his heart. Suddenly, he forced out a question from deep within his throat, “Why, why can you tolerate Qin Zhiyou constantly seeing other women, while I…”

Lu Weixi responded instinctively, “Those are two different things. Besides, people change.”

“This is exactly the same thing.” Qin Zhigu added, “Indeed, people do change. You’ve changed, and so have I. But no matter how much someone changes, they shouldn’t be indifferent about their spouse seeing other women. Unless…you never really loved him.”

Lu Weixi frowned, countering, “The way people interact with each other is different.”

“So, you’re not denying it. You still haven’t fallen in love with my older brother, have you?”

Lu Weixi was taken aback.

Qin Zhigu stepped forward. This time, his voice was devoid of desperation and anger, filled instead with overwhelming heartache and regret. “Xixi, I…I misunderstood you back then. It was my mistake. I’m sorry, I deserve to be punished. But can you, can you not hate me? Can you not act like I’m a monster every time you see me?”

Lu Weixi wanted to respond, but her throat suddenly became constricted, leaving her unable to speak.

She knitted her brows tightly and held her cup even more tightly.

The lighting was poor, and no one could see how tense Lu Weixi had become.

“Xixi, I’m not a bastard. I swear, Cai Yiren and I, we never had an intimate relationship, neither did I with any other women. The truth is, I’m not saying this to ask for anything from you. I’m not longing for you to return to me. I only… wish that you wouldn’t hate me anymore. If anyone bullies you, I will be there for you, not out of any selfish desires, I just want to help.”

Lu Weixi quietly looked at him. If back then, when those misunderstandings occurred, he hadn’t doubted her but instead chose to believe Cai Yiren, maybe none of what followed would have happened.

Qin Zhigu’s betrayal was not just a knife in her heart but had also driven her and her sick mother into a desperate situation.

She will never forget how she felt the day she found out that Qin Zhigu was with Cai Yiren, just a couple of days after receiving her mother’s cancer report. She thought she was mistaken and tracked them for days. How could Qin Zhigu, like her father, fall for a woman of lower worth?

The more she pursued, the chillier her heart grew. Until the day Qin Zhigu appeared in front of her hand in hand with Cai Yiren, she looked up at the sky and said, “We’re done. Remember, I dumped you.”

Now times have changed, her mother’s condition has improved, she is doing better at work, love – was a luxury, something she had long discarded, buried.

Even if there was any, it had nothing to do with Qin Zhigu.
