Chapter 147 - 148 Guessing (6)
Qin Mobai was downstairs at home, the car window open, looking up he could see the top floor lights were on.
He leaned against the car window with one hand, a cigarette nestled between his index and middle fingers, while the other hand held a phone, on the other end Lou Xi’s voice came through.
Her voice was lovely, sweet, and tender.
Lu Li asked him every now and then, why he was so passionate about a little girl who was still wet behind the ears.
Why?
Perhaps it was—a feeling that arose without knowing, and continued unwaveringly.
"Hmm." Once he finally found her, he wouldn’t easily let her leave his side.
He never bothered to use tactics on women, but Lou Xi made him break that rule.
Careful planning, coupled with cajoling and deceit.
He finally waited for her to say she liked him.
Because of that one phrase, he felt that everything he’d done up to that point was worth it.
Qin Mobai sighed, got out of the car, stubbed out the cigarette on the ground, and then entered the building.
Just as he was about to enter the elevator, Qin Mobai’s phone rang.
He looked, it was a call from home.
Yesterday, it was agreed he’d bring his wife back for dinner, to put an end to his family’s intentions of introducing someone to him, but he didn’t go back for dinner, nor did he explain.
They managed to hold off until now to call, which was no easy feat.
"Hello, Grandma." Qin Mobai said in a deep voice, not in a good mood today, having smoked quite a bit, his voice was a bit hoarse, "What is it?"
"Why is your voice so hoarse? Have you caught a cold?" Old Madam Qin’s voice was full of concern, she dearly loved this grandson, worried first if anything was wrong with him.
"Nothing, just smoked."
"I’ve told you before, smoke less! Your stomach’s not good in the first place, if your lungs go bad from smoking too much, then what?"
"It’s alright."
"What do you mean, it’s alright! You’re such a big man now, yet you don’t know how to take care of yourself! Seems like you need a wife to properly look after your living arrangements and meals."
"Might as well get a servant for that." Qin Mobai said casually.
The elevator arrived, but he didn’t go up.
He should go up a little later, let Lou Xi wait a bit longer, so she wouldn’t get mad and throw a tantrum easily.
"Your grandmother’s speaking about serious matters here, don’t brush grandma off!" Old Madam Qin became stern, "Yesterday you said you’d bring your girlfriend back, then actually bring her back for us to see! Anyway, I think Miss Shen is very good, she has an air of elegance, can handle social events, and manage the kitchen; if you two get married, it would surely be a celebrated story in Nancheng."
"Miss Shen is very nice, I just won’t ruin her."
Qin Mobai’s words almost enraged Old Madam Qin, "You! If you go on like this, I’ll be gone someday without knowing whether I’ll ever hold a great-grandchild, sigh... I’ve raised you with all my care, and I just hoped to hold a great-grandchild in my old age, but I guess I can’t count on you..."
Speaking thus, Old Madam Qin was nearly in tears, evidently quite sorrowful.
Qin Mobai listened to Old Madam Qin’s voice, thought for a moment, and said: "I’ll bring someone back for you to see tonight."
"You wouldn’t just find some random woman somewhere to fool me, would you? I wouldn’t like that!"
"If it’s someone I don’t like, I won’t bring her back for you to see. The one I bring back, I will marry her."
Hearing this, Old Madam Qin hesitated a bit. She knew her grandson wasn’t one to joke, if he really intended to marry the woman he brought back?
