Chapter 243 - 244: Wait for Me to Find You (8)
Lou Xi didn’t have a chance to talk with Lou Jian Country and the others about Qin Mobai. Yang Lihua focused her attention on Lou Nan, asking her how her studies were going in Nancheng, how her life was, if she had enough money...
Just like in the past, Yang Lihua only ever cared about Lou Nan.
Lou Xi didn’t mind much, after all, she understood that people have different levels of closeness.
After dinner, Lou Xi was washing dishes in the kitchen and inexplicably thought of Qin Mobai.
Probably because she had been having a few comfortable days, now whenever Lou Xi washed dishes, she would think of the words Qin Mobai once said to her—"My women don’t wash dishes."
That man really held Lou Xi dear, no one had ever treated her so well over the years.
She even contemplated that if Lou Jian Country and Yang Lihua disagreed with her being together with Qin Mobai, then she might as well just marry him. After all, marriage was her own affair, whether they agreed didn’t matter.
But this thought was just a fleeting one in her mind; Lou Xi couldn’t truly act on it.
Impulse is the devil.
After silently reciting this phrase, Lou Xi was about to put the clean dishes into the cabinet when she saw Lou Jian Country walking in.
His expression wasn’t good, and he looked at Lou Xi with a serious gaze.
"Dad..." Lou Xi called out to Lou Jian Country.
Lou Jian Country responded with a nod, saw the ring on Lou Xi’s finger, his gaze turned slightly deeper, and he said, "You mentioned earlier that you have a boyfriend!"
Lou Xi didn’t expect Lou Jian Country to bring up this matter proactively. She put the dish into the cabinet and said, "Yes, someone I knew earlier, he’s very good to me."
"Rich? You need to tell me clearly, have you been..." Lou Jian Country couldn’t bring himself to say those two words, feeling ashamed and embarrassed.
But things had reached this point, if he didn’t ask clearly, he might not sleep well tonight.
"He has some money, but our relationship is definitely not what they say. He has already proposed to me, and we are seriously together."
"How old is he? What does he do for work? Is the money his own or from his family? How far have you both progressed?" Lou Jian Country’s face was stern, though his expression wasn’t good, those questions showed his concern for Lou Xi.
Lou Xi was a bit stunned by Lou Jian Country’s questions, "Dad, this is..."
"You want me to agree to you being together, I need to know what kind of person he is! Whether he’s worthy of giving him my daughter!" Lou Jian Country’s face showed some nervousness.
Lou Xi recalled how, when she was little, if Lou Jian Country hadn’t intervened, she might have been abandoned by Yang Lihua.
Later, when she got into college, it was Lou Jian Country who secretly gave her the tuition for her first year...
So, even after so many years, Lou Xi was still willing to acknowledge Lou Jian Country, because he had been good to her.
Afterward, Lou Xi mentioned some things about Qin Mobai to Lou Jian Country. Lou Jian Country’s expression remained unreadable, it was unclear whether he agreed or disagreed.
Even later on, Lou Jian Country didn’t express any opinion.
Lou Xi felt very anxious, and this anxiety lasted all night. She called Qin Mobai, but he seemed busy, so Lou Xi didn’t disturb him.
Lou Xi barely slept that night.
The next morning, she received a call from Qin Mobai.
"Babe, wake up. I’m outside your house."
