Chapter 244 - 245: Wait for Me to Find You (9)
When Lou Xi heard what Qin Mobai said, she didn’t come to her senses for a while. What does it mean — I’m outside your house?
She sprang out of bed, remembering she had already returned from Nancheng, and Qin Mobai should be in Nancheng now. Why was he outside her house?
"Young Master Qin, what did you say?" Lou Xi immediately put on her shoes, wondering whether she should go outside or wash up first.
In the end, she couldn’t worry about so much and just ran outside.
She sprinted across the small courtyard of the quadrangle, reaching the wooden gate and swinging it open, only to find Qin Mobai standing outside in a tailored suit.
The Lou Family home is close to a small river, with willows planted along the bank. Qin Mobai stood under a willow tree, as morning mist rose from the river like an ink-wash painting, making him appear otherworldly.
Lou Xi completely didn’t expect Qin Mobai to come over the very next day, especially after she had called him yesterday to tell him not to come. Yet here was Qin Mobai at her doorstep.
The moment she saw Qin Mobai, Lou Xi had no more thoughts and ran straight to him, crashing into his arms.
Seeing Lou Xi fling herself into his arms like a child, Qin Mobai’s brows softened into a smile as he gently rubbed the girl he had been nurturing, who felt pleasantly fleshy.
"Young Master Qin... why did you come?" Lou Xi’s head was buried in Qin Mobai’s chest, her voice sounding somewhat muffled, mixed with the laziness of having just woken up.
He patted the girl in his arms and softly said, "No fussing."
Lou Xi was puzzled, but she wasn’t fussing at all; she was quietly nestled in his arms. Where was the fuss?
Where was the fussing exactly?
Even though it had only been a night, Lou Xi found herself missing Qin Mobai terribly and just wanted to hold him.
The man, though hoarse-voiced, looked utterly serious.
Being told off like this made her even less willing to leave his embrace.
She then felt Qin Mobai take off his suit jacket to drape it over Lou Xi, wrapping her tightly.
"All better now?" Qin Mobai understood what Lou Xi was embarrassed about and was considerate.
Lou Xi blushed,
Having said that, Lou Xi quickly let go of Qin Mobai,
"Let’s go inside, don’t catch a cold," Qin Mobai said as he turned Lou Xi around to walk alongside her indoors.
It was only now that Lou Xi noticed Su Lin had come along with Qin Mobai, along with several people dressed in black who looked like bodyguards.
Qin Mobai seemed like a noble from an old society, exuding an air of affluence.
