Chapter 253 - 254: The Path You’ve Taken (7)
Qin Mobai held Lou Xi’s hand as they walked on the stone path by the riverbank. He didn’t directly answer the question she had just asked, simply walking ahead.
The more mysterious he acted, the more curious Lou Xi became about how he knew, especially since even she hadn’t sensed that Wang Yi liked her.
Does sending two cans of honey grapefruit tea mean he likes her?
Lou Xi ran ahead, turned around, and walked backwards, facing Qin Mobai.
Because of her posture, Qin Mobai had to slow down, worried that Lou Xi might trip if he walked too quickly.
Qin Mobai chuckled lightly, "Sixth sense."
"What? Only girls have a sixth sense. Where did you get yours from? Come on, Young Master Qin, don’t lie to me!" Lou Xi didn’t believe what Qin Mobai said, "Tell me quickly, then I can..."
"Hmm? Then you can what? Identify which men like you, so you can flirt with them?" Qin Mobai automatically filled in her words in his mind.
Lou Xi laughed, not understanding why Qin Mobai would think that, but...
"Yeah, identify which guys like me, then stay far away from them. All I need is for Young Master Qin to like me!" Lou Xi skillfully steered the topic back and successfully saw the satisfied smile on Qin Mobai’s face.
"You’re getting better at talking. It seems I’ve taught you well," Qin Mobai was quite pleased with the current result.
Lou Xi laughed, feeling that the time spent with Qin Mobai was the happiest.
"Walk properly, or you’ll trip," Qin Mobai pulled Lou Xi over, making her walk properly, "Now, you should tell me what exactly is going on between you and that little chubby kid?"
What should come will come, Lou Xi looked at Qin Mobai with a puzzled expression.
"Actually, there’s really nothing going on. It was just back then, Wang Yi was a particularly skinny little boy being bullied by a group of people. I couldn’t stand it, so I helped him chase those people away." Lou Xi felt that she was quite cool back then, a girl managing to scare off so many boys.
Lou Xi felt particularly thrilled about her heroic deeds.
But she didn’t notice the man next to her was already slightly displeased.
"So young and up to no good, already thinking of getting into fights. It seems you really need to be disciplined." It irritated him that Lou Xi was defending a boy back then without his knowledge.
Even though it was childhood, it still made Qin Mobai feel very unhappy.
In his perspective, Lou Xi’s heart should only have room for him, and she should only be protective of him.
Although he wouldn’t be so fragile as to need a girl’s protection...
Wait... was it not because of Lou Xi’s protection fourteen years ago that he had a different impression of her, leading to the current situation?
So ultimately, it was because Lou Xi was kind-hearted since childhood.
So, it’s not Lou Xi’s fault.
In a short amount of time, Lou Xi had no idea of the internal drama running through Qin Mobai’s mind.
"Young Master Qin, from now on, I’ll protect only you, not letting anyone bully you!" Lou Xi promised earnestly.
These words coming from the delicate Lou Xi felt particularly powerful.
Qin Mobai gazed deeply at Lou Xi, as if trying to look into her soul, "All Qin Mobai’s woman needs to do is comfortably be the Young Madam."
Even if the sky were to fall, he would be there to hold it up for her.
