During the five years of their marriage, Qin Zhiyou had always been very meticulous and careful every single time. He would either take necessary precautions himself, or he would make her take the contraceptive pill afterward, without leaving any chance for issues to arise.
She laughed slightly, as she picked up the pill and swallowed it down with water without hesitation.
When Auntie Hao saw Lu Weixi coming down, after she had washed up and changed her clothes, she politely greeted her, “Young Madam.”
Lu Weixi weakly acknowledged her. Breakfast was already placed on the table, but she had no mood nor time to eat it.
In the past, Auntie Hao would not care when and if Lu Weixi ate the food she made, but she was unusual today, as she kept standing behind Lu Weixi the whole time until she had changed her shoes and was about to leave the house. It was as if Auntie Hao had something to say.
Lu Weixi paused in her tracks. “Auntie Hao, what’s the matter?”
Auntie Hao touched the corner of her sleeves but still braced herself and said, “Young Master said that he had already told the secretary to transfer you this month’s overnight fees and the additional fee last night.”
“Okay,” acknowledged Lu Weixi casually.
“Also…” Auntie Hao hesitated before speaking again, and her voice was as tiny as a mosquito’s. “Young Master said that you must take the birth control pills in front of me. He doesn’t want to have any unnecessary trouble.”
The words ‘in front of me’ were emphasized more seriously.
Lu Weixi’s hand holding clenched it even more tightly, as she exerted strength into her nails which dug into her skin. Then she released her fingers and nonchalantly nodded before she said calmly, “Bring the pill over.”
Auntie Hao hurriedly brought the medicine over, which Lu Weixi took and swallowed in one gulp in front of her, even finishing the last bit of water. Then, she passed the empty cup to Auntie Hao, took out a few pieces of tissue from the bin to wipe away the water stains on her lips, rolled them into a ball, and threw it into the bin. Lu Weixi coldly looked at her, “Is that enough?”
Auntie Hao nodded and looked at her in worry. After thinking for a long while, she still said, “Actually, Young Madam, Young Master wasn’t like this in the past. If it wasn’t because…”
Lu Weixi did not say anything, as she walked out of the door in her heels without turning back.

The office was very noisy by the time she arrived.
An elegantly-dressed lady, wearing Chanel’s latest jacket, Hermes bag and a pair of sunglasses, was perched on the couch arrogantly with her legs crossed one over the other. A person, presumably her assistant, was standing next to her. This was Lu Weixi’s clientーYan City’s television host that shot to fame recently, Liu Yiyi.
Xiao Chen had already explained countless times, but Liu Yiyi’s assistant showed no care. “Don’t think that you can mess around, just because Sister Yiyi is speaking nicely. We have long said that these places need to be changed for the design, and you agreed on it at that time. What kind of rubbish did you renovate for us?”
Xiao Chen wrongfully retorted, “We’ve changed the design seven or eight times already, and you’ve also signed off on the design when we finalized it at the end. Everything was done in accordance with the contract, and we would not dare to slack off at all or overcharge you.”
Lu Weixi was long used to this, as there would always be one or two troublesome clients every month. If it was not for what Liu Yiyi’s assistant said next, she would not have taken it to heart.
“How dare you absolve the responsibility? Do you know who Sister Yiyi is friends with? Surely even you would know of Han Hai Corporation’s CEO, Qin Zhiyou!”
