Chapter 1166: Threat (4)

In the moment he was pulled away, Qin Zhiyou's pupils suddenly dilated, then quickly constricted.

His hands felt empty. Just moments before they had been caressed by the delicate touch of her wrist and her lingering warmth, but now, his fingers grasped nothing as Lu Weixi had already stepped past him, walking straight to the door, her hand on the doorknob.

Qin Zhiyou's heart felt as if it had emptied in an instant. He couldn't help turning back, looking at her resolute back and the nape of her neck. Bitterness welled up in him, and he bowed his head, slowly beginning to speak, "I just knew."

He had only uttered these four words when Lu Weixi, who was ready to unlock the door, paused in her motion.

"I just knew, during these five years of marriage, your heart was never truly with me."

As Qin Zhiyou said this, his voice remained calm, though the tail end trembled lightly. Yet it sounded somewhat self-mocking.
