My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 1300: Chapter 1293: Born for Love (3) Chapter 1300: Chapter 1293: Born for Love (3) “Really, can we not continue anymore?”

In fact, he seemed to be asking Lu Weixi, but in reality, he was also questioning himself.

The heart of marriage might be love, but beyond love, there were finances, trust, understanding, and respect. He was madly in love with her and had provided her with plenty of money. But she also needed to be respected, understood, and on that foundation, to feel trusted. He hadn’t let her experience his emotions, nor had he sufficiently understood her thoughts or respected her will, so he hadn’t built up enough trust.

She had stopped believing in him, so she had no confidence to continue on.

Moreover, he had Zhao Zihuan and Zhongtian Steel lurking in the background. The car accident in Vancouver twenty years ago might have been an accident, or it might have been deliberate. No matter what, Zhao Zihuan was convinced it was related to the Qin Family, and he couldn’t let her and the child take this risk.

Lu Weixi didn’t answer, just stared blankly ahead.

Qin Zhiyou tried to take a few deep breaths, although his heart desperately hoped they could reconcile and continue on as a family of three. But whether out of respect for her or to protect her, he couldn’t force her to keep the child and rekindle their old affections.

He even couldn’t confess to her, couldn’t tell her that in fact, his heart had never held anyone but her. He also couldn’t tell her that, in fact, it was from the very moment he first saw her in her freshman year of college, nine years ago, he had chosen her. Not to spite Qin Zhigu, but simply because of her.

If a break was needed, it had to be clean and decisive – at least not involving her with Zhongtian Steel until it was resolved. He now had no right to pursue her.

Qin Zhiyou’s clenched fist relaxed, and he took a deep breath, “If you really don’t want this child, I promise you.”

Lu Weixi paused, her gaze shifting towards him. Although she also wanted to separate from him, there was inevitably a stir of emotions in her heart when she heard him agree.

After Qin Zhiyou said those words, it was as if all his strength had been sapped, and his entire being eased from a state of tension. He stepped back, putting a slight distance between them.

“I won’t pester you anymore. I… respect your decision.”

He couldn’t do everything for her, and this child might well have been his doing on purpose. At twenty years old, he could disregard her will and forcefully take her first kiss in his pursuit of a woman, but now nearly thirty, five years of marriage had taught him understanding and respect.

Lu Weixi was stunned, not expecting Qin Zhiyou to respond so quickly. So his agitation just now was still for the sake of the child, and not because of her, right?

He asked another question, “You’re three months pregnant now, when do you plan to have the abortion?”

Lu Weixi paused, then replied, “Next Tuesday.”

Next Tuesday, that is, the day after tomorrow.

His bond with this child as father and son would expire the day after tomorrow.

Qin Zhiyou nodded slowly, regaining composure, “I will gradually make our divorce public, trying to minimize the impact on you as much as possible. I will also warn those who harbor ill intentions towards you; even though we have parted, we are still friends. They should not try to kick you when you’re down. I will continue to follow your news.”

Lu Weixi nodded in agreement, and Qin Zhiyou added, “But, I would also like you to promise me one thing.”
