Chapter 181 - 182: Beauty Brings Calamity (2)
"Young Master Qin, actually, I don’t want your relationship with your family to get worse because of me. Otherwise, I would really be the stumbling block to your family’s relationship. Even if we do end up together, there will still be many problems." Lou Xi said very seriously.
"Hmm." Qin Mobai responded lightly, as if he thought the family’s conflicts couldn’t affect their relationship.
Lou Xi then turned around and looked at Qin Mobai from the passenger seat, "Young Master Qin, I am serious. Although you really like me now and feel that you can argue with your family for me, what about later? Over time, you may still feel that family is more important, and then you will certainly not choose me. If we deal with these conflicts from the start, there won’t be any conflicts in the future, and the whole family can be happily together."
She seemed like she was making a lot of sense, quite different from the simplicity and directness she usually showed.
Qin Mobai glanced at Lou Xi, it seemed as though this was the meticulous mind buried beneath her simple exterior.
He liked Lou Xi, and it was definitely not just because she was particularly simple and direct, but more likely because of her wisdom masked by ignorance.
"My relationship with my family wasn’t great to begin with, you don’t need to worry about these things."
"Since it wasn’t great to begin with, we definitely shouldn’t let this be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back!" Lou Xi said excitedly, "We will find a chance to talk to your grandparents properly later. I’m so naive and cute, lively and kind-hearted, loved by everyone, flowers bloom at my presence; they will definitely like me!"
Listening to Lou Xi say this, a little bit of unhappiness surged in Qin Mobai’s heart.
If he were truly strong, he wouldn’t have to worry about his family’s opinions. He could be with whoever he wanted and marry whoever he wished.
Now he had to let Lou Xi guide him and make him feel like he hadn’t done enough.
So he should give Lou Xi more affection to deserve being with her.
But Lou Xi suddenly thought of something important.
She glared with her beautiful eyes at Qin Mobai and asked, "Who is this ’Ruozhuo’?"
Hmm... if he had to bring up this question, actually, Qin Mobai did not want to say much.
"An insignificant person." To Qin Mobai, she was indeed an insignificant person, so there was no need to say much.
But to Lou Xi, someone who was insignificant to Qin Mobai might not be so unimportant.
After all, women are truly creatures who get jealous easily.
"I don’t believe you. Just now, when your grandfather mentioned Miss Ruozhuo, you got so nervous; she’s not just anybody." Lou Xi’s tone was full of jealousy.
That feeling was very subtle. Previously, when Mi Beier blatantly showed up where she and Qin Mobai lived, she didn’t feel a thing; she could even confidently drive her away.
But this time was different. Just hearing the name of Miss Ruozhuo made Lou Xi feel something was off.
But what exactly was off, Lou Xi couldn’t pinpoint, so she could only ask Qin Mobai.
Qin Mobai steered the wheel, pondered for a moment, and finally spoke up, "She was the fiancée my grandfather appointed for me when I was a child."
Appointed, Qin Mobai’s fiancée!
Only kids in families like theirs would have this kind of betrothed arrangement.
Fiancée...
