Chapter 129 - 130 A Pleasant Surprise (6)
In the office, Qin Mobai’s gaze remained fixed on the closed door, his expression growing increasingly somber.
"Brother Mo Bai, you should eat something! You initially said you’d go back for dinner today, but in the end, you didn’t. Grandpa and Grandma were very angry, but fortunately, they calmed down later." Mi Beier thought about how she had managed to cheer up Grandpa and Grandma, feeling that they really liked her.
Qin Mobai glanced at the food on the coffee table indifferently, feeling inexplicably irritated.
He had planned to bring Lou Xi back tonight to meet Grandpa and Grandma, which was what he had called a "surprise."
But Lou Xi had disappeared in the afternoon and only returned after seven o’clock!
Not picking up the phone either!
Now that she was back, there wasn’t a hint of apology on her face.
He was very angry, really angry.
Mi Beier felt Qin Mobai’s anger, especially after that girl left, when Qin Mobai’s mood shift was very noticeable.
But her cousin used to be a man who showed no emotion, others found it hard to discern his feelings.
But now, Mi Beier surprisingly could feel her cousin’s unhappiness.
Could it be... because of that girl just now?
Having a female employee in the CEO office was enough to make Mi Beier feel strange, and what’s more puzzling was that her cousin was visibly angry after the girl left.
This gave Mi Beier a sense of crisis.
Previously, she heard that they introduced her cousin to a knowledgeable and sensible young lady, and now there’s another girl in the office!
She wasn’t anxious before because she knew her cousin had no interest in women, having no scandals over the years.
But now, she’s both nervous and worried, what if her cousin ends up belonging to someone else?
"You should go back; I have work to do." Qin Mobai quickly suppressed his anger, displaying a cold demeanor when facing Mi Beier again.
Mi Beier didn’t want to leave so soon and said, "I’ll leave once you finish eating."
"Did you see those people working overtime outside?"
Mi Beier nodded.
"The company is busy with a very important case; there can be no mistakes."
Qin Mobai was telling Mi Beier that he couldn’t be disrupted by anything now, urging her to leave quickly.
Mi Beier knew that annoying Qin Mobai wouldn’t result in anything good, so she had no choice but to reluctantly get up from the sofa.
"Brother Mo Bai, call me when you have time. I’m always available, so we can have dinner together."
Qin Mobai didn’t see the expectation on Mi Beier’s face nor did he respond.
He walked straight toward the desk and opened the files.
Though Mi Beier felt helpless, she could only take her bag and leave the office.
Once the office door was closed, Mi Beier saw Lou Xi sitting in the assistant’s office and walked over without much thought.
The people in the assistant’s office felt a powerful presence; this was Qin Mobai’s cousin from his mother’s side, with a cold expression and elegant demeanor, walking toward Lou Xi as if no one else existed.
"Knock, knock, knock—" Mi Beier tapped on Lou Xi’s desk, successfully attracting her attention.
She looked up, gazing at Mi Beier and sensing a dangerous aura in her eyes.
Yes, Lou Xi felt that Mi Beier didn’t like her, a very unpleasant dislike.
Mi Beier saw the work badge on Lou Xi’s desk.
"Lou Xi?" she called her name indifferently.
"Yes, that’s me."
Mi Beier snorted and said, "Stay obediently at Jia Sheng Group, don’t have unrealistic fantasies."
"Ah?" Lou Xi was puzzled.
