Chapter 166 - 167: Relatives Arrive (9)
Regarding Lou Nan staying to attend high school, Lou Xi originally didn’t want to agree. After all, she had no way to ensure Lou Nan would smoothly enter high school, nor could she guarantee that staying here for high school would lead her to college.
But the previous call with her foster parents made it difficult for Lou Xi to refuse.
After all, they are the parents who have raised her for so many years. Although they aren’t her biological parents, it’s still far better than leaving her in an orphanage.
So, Lou Xi could only reluctantly agree.
However, today she has classes in the morning and work in the afternoon, and can’t arrange anything for Lou Nan. So she let her stay with Bai Lu, planning to come back after work and find a place for Lou Nan to stay.
Thus, Lou Xi went to work with a worried expression.
Upon arriving at the office, Su Lin instructed Lou Xi to bring the documents to the president’s office for Qin Mobai to sign.
Ever since Su Lin found out that she needs to start calling Lou Xi "Madam President," all tasks involving Qin Mobai naturally went to Lou Xi. It’s easy work, plus it lets the president see more of Lou Xi.
Su Lin thought this was a particularly smart move! In the future, Madam President will definitely take care of her, and Qin Mobai won’t easily bully her!
"Knock, knock, knock—" Lou Xi knocked on the door. Hearing a response from inside, she opened the door and went in.
Qin Mobai sat in the office chair, focused on the file in front of him.
He assumed the person coming in was someone else, and didn’t look up at her.
When Lou Xi placed the document down and was about to leave, Qin Mobai looked up.
Different.
The feeling is different from when other employees come in, the scent is different, the footsteps are different.
So, Qin Mobai deduced that the person who came was Lou Xi.
Sure enough, when he looked up, he saw the person who made his heart race.
However, she seemed to not be in high spirits.
"Have you eaten?" Qin Mobai set down the pen, leaned back a bit in his chair in his shirt, his expression slightly relaxed. Facing Lou Xi, Qin Mobai always had a more relaxed demeanor, not the rigid and serious one he usually has at work.
"Yes."
"Feeling full?"
Lou Xi nodded, and then a fragrance drifted over from somewhere.
Lou Xi saw Qin Mobai take out a box from somewhere. Upon opening it, there was a very exquisite cake inside.
No wonder she smelled a strong milky aroma just now.
"So, are you hungry now?"
"Young Master Qin, did you know I was coming to work this afternoon and specially prepared this cake?" Lou Xi was really, truly touched.
A man like Qin Mobai, who could put thought into these little things, Lou Xi felt it was not easy.
But why does she always feel she’s dragging Qin Mobai down from his pedestal?
Living together with Qin Mobai these days, Lou Xi realized he’s a particularly proud man who doesn’t do household chores and has very high standards for living.
Yet such a man is always looking after her.
"...No," Qin Mobai denied. "The pastry chef in the company restaurant made extra today and insisted I bring it up."
Lou Xi giggled secretly, knowing it was impossible for the restaurant pastry chef to make Qin Mobai bring the cake up. Clearly, it was prepared for her!
Lou Xi ran over, grabbed the fork, stabbed the strawberry on the cake, but didn’t eat it. Instead, she handed it to Qin Mobai.
"Young Master Qin, you have a bite."
