Chapter 211 - 212: Grandma Arrives (9)
Qin Mobai is a man who basically doesn’t deal with business matters once he’s home, unless it’s something extremely urgent.
Especially after living together with Lou Xi, Qin Mobai never worked at home. After getting used to such a life, tonight suddenly felt different with Lou Xi not in his room, and he felt uneasy.
He used to not sleep well, but it indeed changed only after being with Lou Xi.
Now he tossed and turned in bed, with the pillow still carrying Lou Xi’s scent, which was very pleasant.
But no matter how pleasant the scent, it couldn’t compare to the experience of Lou Xi actually lying by his side.
Qin Mobai felt restless, sitting halfway up in bed and leaning against the headboard. He actually quite wanted to know what Grandma would talk to Lou Xi about.
He certainly knew that the old lady didn’t simply want Lou Xi to stay there just for sleep.
But for Grandma to be able to sleep in the same bed with Lou Xi was already a first step forward, and with time, Grandma would surely change her views about Lou Xi even more.
However!
But couldn’t Lou Xi come back to him just for tonight?
Qin Mobai looked at the half-empty bed and felt for the first time just how difficult it was to fall asleep!
Lying down, getting up, lying down, getting up...
Qin Mobai was taking this repetitive action to the extreme. Eventually, he couldn’t help but grab his phone and send a WeChat message to Lou Xi.
Qin Mobai: If Grandma’s asleep, then come back quickly.
A minute passed, and Lou Xi didn’t reply.
Thinking that Lou Xi might not have seen it, he sent another message.
Qin Mobai: Come back quickly.
A minute passed, and still no reply from Lou Xi. Five minutes went by, and still no reply.
Qin Mobai really wanted to get out of bed to bring Lou Xi back.
But he couldn’t. What if Grandma and Lou Xi were discussing something important?
Oh, it might be because they were discussing something crucial, which is why Lou Xi didn’t have the time to reply to his WeChat?
Qin Mobai consoled himself this way, very good, as if that was the only way he could understand it.
Qin Mobai urged himself to hurry up and sleep, but the most troublesome thing at this time was the lingering scent of Lou Xi on the pillow. In his weakest moments of consciousness, the familiar scent invaded his nostrils, and that was the most troublesome.
After tossing and turning, Qin Mobai finally couldn’t resist. Checking the time, it was already eleven o’clock; the old lady’s biological clock should be asleep by now.
Qin Mobai got out of bed, put on his slippers, and quietly went downstairs.
Standing at the study door, he didn’t hear any noise from inside, assuming they were asleep.
Qin Mobai turned the doorknob of the study room; only the night light was on inside, and even breathing could be heard from the bed.
He immediately saw Lou Xi sleeping on the left side.
She was probably worried about crowding the old lady, so she slept on the edge of the bed. When Qin Mobai walked over, he saw she was almost about to fall off.
With quick reflexes, Qin Mobai went over and caught the person about to fall.
The girl’s body was soft, landing in his arms. Sensing the familiar scent, Lou Xi nuzzled closer into Qin Mobai’s embrace, the girl’s unique fragrance reaching Qin Mobai’s nose.
It wasn’t the lingering scent on the pillow, but the real thing coming from Lou Xi’s body.
Qin Mobai tightened his hold on the person in his arms and whispered, "Come back with me."
Lou Xi, barely conscious, just snuggled into Qin Mobai’s embrace, leaving everything up to him.
And then, Qin Mobai really did take Lou Xi back to the room.
