Chapter 131 - 132 A Pleasant Surprise (8)
Lou Xi trembled as she put down the juice, saying, "Young Master Qin, I’m really sorry. I had something come up unexpectedly in the afternoon, and I forgot my phone when I left. Otherwise, I would have definitely called you to let you know. Please be generous and don’t hold this against me!"
She sincerely apologized, as if Qin Mobai would be a terrible person if he didn’t forgive her.
However...
"In the company, I’m not your Young Master Qin." Qin Mobai spoke coldly, giving Lou Xi no mercy, "Also, do you not know I’m allergic to oranges?"
Lou Xi looked at the freshly squeezed orange juice and felt awful.
She truly didn’t know Qin Mobai was allergic to oranges. If she had known, she would never have brought this drink to him!
"Sorry, Young Master... President, my mistake." Lou Xi hurriedly moved the orange juice in front of herself, wishing it could disappear right away, "I’m back now, so..."
"Get out." Qin Mobai said coldly, showing how truly upset he was.
But Lou Xi had an important task entrusted by Su Lin, and if she left now, everyone in the president’s office would probably be resentful of her.
"President, I really had something urgent this afternoon and didn’t have time to inform you. It’s not that late now. Weren’t you going to give me a ’surprise’? Can we go now?" Lou Xi thought Qin Mobai was angry because she had stood him up.
But now, hadn’t she come back? And it’s not too late; they could still go see the surprise...
"Lou Xi, it’s not enough to just apologize if you’ve done something wrong. If apologies were enough—"
"This world wouldn’t need police." Lou Xi timidly added.
"This world wouldn’t have so many people parting due to misunderstandings." Qin Mobai replied calmly, yet his words were starkly different from Lou Xi’s.
Lou Xi was completely stunned, shocked as she looked at Qin Mobai. Was he going to...
"Young Master Qin, are you going to..." break up?
Was it just because she stood him up? She felt that Young Master Qin might be going too far with this...
Seeing Qin Mobai’s silence, Lou Xi wondered if he was really intending to break up.
Out of nowhere, Lou Xi was worried. She had yet to stroll through the streets with Young Master Qin, hadn’t watched a movie together, or done any of the things couples do. How could they possibly break up?
In that moment, Lou Xi was truly panicked.
Qin Mobai’s faint voice was heard, "Just go out."
Only three words, but with an added tone particle, Lou Xi keenly noticed the change in Qin Mobai’s tone.
She tentatively asked, "Then, Young Master Qin... I’ll wait for you to get off work! How about I cook egg and tomato noodles for you tonight?"
Lou Xi didn’t understand why Qin Mobai was so obsessive about egg and tomato noodles.
But in the time they had been together, Lou Xi had never had the chance to make egg and tomato noodles for Qin Mobai, so this time, she wanted to use it to make it up to him.
Seeing the cold expression on Qin Mobai’s face slightly ease, yet still remain aloof.
"...Let’s go now." After a while, as Lou Xi was getting ready to leave, she heard Qin Mobai’s voice.
Lou Xi turned her head, wondering how to cook noodles for Qin Mobai in the office... It seemed a bit challenging.
But seeing Qin Mobai’s uncompromising face, Lou Xi swallowed her words about cooking them at home.
"Then, Young Master Qin, you wait here, I’ll go cook right now!" Lou Xi happily rushed out of the office.
