Chapter 212 - 213: Grandma Arrives (10)
Lou Xi was sleeping very soundly. Especially after returning to the room, it felt like she was back on her own territory, able to express herself freely.
Her small body rolled over on the bed, cartoon pajamas slipping up from her stomach, revealing her fair little belly. Her slightly flushed cheeks carried the unique innocence of a girl. She didn’t look like a girl in her twenties, but more like a child, making one irresistibly want to cherish her.
Qin Mobai’s gaze darkened a bit. He originally had no self-control over Lou Xi. Watching this girl rolling on the bed so defenselessly, his heart couldn’t help but ripple.
He took off his shoes, got onto the bed, and pulled the restless Lou Xi into his arms.
Qin Mobai’s movement might have been too big, resulting in Lou Xi bumping into his embrace, her nose hurting a bit from the collision. With her eyes still closed, she let out a faint hum, as if expressing displeasure, trying to push Qin Mobai away.
But once in his arms, how could he let Lou Xi push him away?
Yet, things didn’t go as planned. The old lady came by, forbidding him from sharing a room with Lou Xi.
Having someone he wanted to love but couldn’t, how painful such a thing was for him!
Finally unable to bear it, he brought her back to the room to ease his longing for Lou Xi a little.
He shifted his body slightly, but perhaps she was already accustomed to Qin Mobai’s touch,
"Lou Xi, wake up." Qin Mobai’s enticing voice sounded in Lou Xi’s ear.
But this girl, being perhaps too sleepy, didn’t wake up.
In the end, she genuinely felt the pain, opened her eyes, and the face of Qin Mobai was just inches away.
Lou Xi almost screamed. Wasn’t she supposed to be in the room downstairs with her grandmother? How could Qin Mobai be here beside her?
But before she could call out, Qin Mobai covered her mouth.
"Shh, don’t shout. The room’s soundproofing is poor," Qin Mobai said in a low voice.
Indeed, the soundproofing in this apartment wasn’t good. The entire bedroom and the space outside were semi-open. Any loud noises in the room would likely be heard outside.
Lou Xi did as she was told and didn’t call out, but her eyes showed confusion as she looked at Qin Mobai. Soon, she understood what Qin Mobai meant.
Her mind suddenly went blank. Looking at Qin Mobai, she said, "Why are you here... Grandma is still... still downstairs."
Qin Mobai’s lips curled into a smile, and he said, "So, be quiet, okay?"
