The man had a pair of peach blossom eyes, which slightly perked up at the sight of her. His lips were thin and crooked into a slight smile as the wind blew, causing the flowers on the trees to rustle and fall. His dark pupils shone like the petal-filled sky when he looked at her – dazzling, brilliant, radiant, and fragrant.

Lu Weixi’s heart buzzed as if time had come to a standstill and an orchestra had begun to play. It felt as if every flower in the world bloomed in that instant.

However, in the next second, the man gleefully looked at the woman confessing love before him, and with his lips curled slightly, he spat out vile words, “We’re both adults making decisions out of our own will. I won’t be dating you, so just give up already.”

The castle within Lu Weixi’s heart crumbled thunderously.

As it turns out, even the most handsome of men, if they utter such offensive words, will be met with a resounding slap in the face. He seemed completely unfazed by the slap, his cheek bearing its imprint. As he was leaving, he gazed at the three of them with a smile even wider than before.

Lu Weixi couldn’t help but feel as if his last look at her held something profoundly meaningful.

The next time they met, she was Qin Zhigu’s girlfriend and was brought to the grand mansion of the Qin Family, obediently calling him ‘big brother’.

Lu Weixi retracted her gaze, lightly shaking her head, “If love at first sight were so rampant, it wouldn’t be so revered. I envy my grandparents who were each other’s from start to end. In this bizarre world, simple feelings are the hardest to come by.”

Xiaochen looked over, blearily, “Lu, have you been heartbroken or something? You sound so old-fashioned.”

Lu Weixi laughed and patted her head, her eyebrows raised, “Just do your work. If this lady ever breaks up, it’ll only be because I dumped someone, got it?”

Xiaochen patted her head and said ‘oh’. After inspecting this house, they had to go to the next one to oversee the construction of pipelines, painting of walls, and laying of floors. Once work became hectic, Lu Weixi rolled up her sleeves, tied up her hair, and directed everyone regardless of her appearance. In life, not everything can be as romantic as flowers and moonlight; we all end up dealing with mundane chores, and the worst-case scenario would be a total mess.

In fact, she and Qin Zhiyou currently had a good arrangement; one provided the money while the other did the work, which also allowed both of them to focus on their own tasks. Staying clear of emotions meant avoiding any potential hurt.

At the same time, at Hanhai Group.

Qin Zhiyou exited the meeting room with a gloomy expression that seemed to drip with water. He led the march, followed by Secretary Wang. Behind him were a large group of company executives, directors, and his aunts and uncles.

His expression didn’t improve even when he entered his office. The moment Secretary Wang closed the door, he saw Qin Zhiyou take a glass full of water from the desk and smash it against the wall.

With a loud ‘crash’, the glass shattered into pieces, and its water and glass fragments showered the room like scattered crystals.

He had once again won at the board meeting, leaving his uncles and aunts silent. However, the final remark from his uncle had deeply hurt him.

“You’re no different from your late father, always trying to seize control and play with women.”

Clenching his fist so tight that his nails dug into his palm and drew blood, he didn’t notice at all.

After a moment, he took a deep breath, grabbed his coat, and briskly walked out. Secretary Wang followed him, asking, “Mr.. Qin, where are we going? Home?”
