Chapter 182 - 183: Femme Fatale (3)
Qin Mobai knew that saying this would make Lou Xi unhappy.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the smile on Lou Xi’s face vanish, replaced by silence.
If I’d known, I wouldn’t have said it.
"I’ve only met Miss Shen once, I don’t have feelings for her. She will never become my wife, never," Qin Mobai patiently explained to Lou Xi, quite enjoying the way she was jealous for him.
"But she’s your fiancée. Being with you like this makes me feel like the other woman," Lou Xi pouted, inexplicably upset.
Qin Mobai chuckled, "Those are just things the older generation came up with when they were bored. Who still does arranged marriages nowadays? Plus, between Miss Shen and me, there’s nothing going on."
As he continued speaking, Qin Mobai almost confused himself, but fortunately, he was clever enough to handle it smoothly.
"So... is that Miss Shen pretty? Does she have that kind of beauty that ruins cities?" This was what Lou Xi was most curious about.
It seemed Qin Mobai was seriously thinking about this question.
Was he actually thinking about Shen Ruozhuo’s face? Was he really thinking about another woman in front of her!
But then she heard Qin Mobai say, "It’s been so long, I’ve already forgotten what she looks like."
With this answer, Lou Xi truly wanted to give Qin Mobai a hundred and one points, one extra point to let him be proud!
"Young Master Qin, you’re really good at sweet-talking! You should talk more, you’re usually so aloof. I almost don’t dare to talk to you!" Lou Xi was really profiting from this.
"Aloof?" Qin Mobai snorted softly.
"That’s the highest compliment for handsome guys these days. You don’t know how many female students at Nan University like you. I feel like it’s really hard for me to stand out among so many." Lou Xi shook her head, shedding bitter tears. Being with her dream guy took so much effort, of course they must always be together!
"Oh, how come I remember choosing you?" Otherwise, how could Lou Xi have stood out among so many?
"Close enough, close enough!" Lou Xi said with a smile.
The journey back was a bit long, so Lou Xi took out her phone to check if anyone had contacted her.
She saw a bunch of missed calls and messages on her phone.
Previously, to go to the Qin Family, Lou Xi had put her phone on silent, so only now did she see so many missed calls and messages.
But the messages and calls all came from one person.
And that was Bai Lu!
Thinking of Bai Lu, Lou Xi remembered she had entrusted Lou Nan to Bai Lu!
"Oh no!" Lou Xi exclaimed, "This is bad."
Qin Mobai turned his head and asked, "What’s gone wrong? With me here, what can’t be solved?"
Lou Xi looked at Qin Mobai; indeed, with Qin Mobai there, nothing seemed unsolvable!
But... Lou Xi didn’t want to tell Qin Mobai about Lou Nan’s situation because... she really didn’t want to trouble Young Master Qin with family matters.
"It’s just that I arranged to meet Bai Lu tonight, you know, girls always have so much to talk about, but I forgot because I went to the Qin Family with you today."
"Oh." Qin Mobai thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a meetup between girls.
