Chapter 257 - 258: The Path You’ve Taken (11)
When Lou Xi and Qin Mobai went in, they saw Lou Jian Country and Yang Lihua sitting on chairs in the main room, not knowing where Lou Nan had gone.
The necessary courtesies were still needed. Lou Xi introduced Qin Mobai to Lou Jian Country, saying, "Mom, Dad, this is the boyfriend I told you about yesterday, Qin Mobai."
After Yang Lihua heard this, she looked up at Qin Mobai, and after noticing Qin Mobai’s indifferent gaze, she lowered her head again.
But Lou Jian Country took a few more looks at Qin Mobai.
Not as old as imagined, he seems quite energetic, but it’s hard to tell about his character.
"While others were studying, you started a relationship. You really think you’re grown up now, flying away without caring about the family." Yang Lihua said sarcastically.
Upon hearing Yang Lihua’s words, Lou Jian Country gave Yang Lihua’s hand a pull, signaling her to stop talking.
However, not only did Yang Lihua ignore Lou Jian Country’s words, but she also said, "It’s all because of you. If you hadn’t taken the family’s money to send her to school back then, she would be working and earning money by now. We’ve raised a liability! What else do you want, to prepare a dowry for her?"
As Yang Lihua spoke, her face was full of displeasure.
This is probably where Lou Xi felt embarrassed. Yang Lihua’s words were completely relentless. If Lou Xi were Qin Mobai, he might have turned around and left immediately.
But...
When Lou Xi turned to Qin Mobai, she saw that his expression was exceptionally calm, and she only heard him say, "Lou Xi is not a liability. Aunty, please watch your tone when you speak."
When Qin Mobai spoke, there was a certain pressure in his voice.
Also, a slight warning.
"What does my daughter have to do with you? Who do you think you are?" Yang Lihua yelled, her explosive temper flaring up instantly.
"She is my fiancée. She might bully others, but no one will bully her." Qin Mobai’s gaze remained indifferent, but his aura had already filled the main room, unmatched by anyone else.
"You... what kind of tone is that? Lou Xi, look at this... Oh, oh, my chest hurts!" Yang Lihua clutched her chest, looking as if she was really uncomfortable.
But it’s impressive how you can still speak so forcefully while feeling uncomfortable.
"Mobai." Lou Xi grabbed Qin Mobai’s hand, finally understanding why he told her to stay silent earlier because he was keeping all the difficulties away, providing shelter for Lou Xi.
But Lou Xi didn’t want Qin Mobai to fight alone; they were a team.
Qin Mobai tightened his grip on Lou Xi’s hand, shaking his head at her, telling her not to speak.
When he got serious, it was quite intimidating. Lou Xi didn’t dare to defy a serious Qin Mobai, so she obediently kept her mouth shut.
"Xixi, you go wait for me outside first." Qin Mobai rarely called Lou Xi "Xixi," not even at their most intimate moments. But now, calling her in this way made her feel worse than calling her by her name directly.
Lou Xi stubbornly shook her head, indicating she didn’t want to go out.
Yet Qin Mobai insisted, "Be good."
Because what Qin Mobai was going to say next, he didn’t want Lou Xi to hear, so he insisted she go out.
How could Lou Xi resist Qin Mobai? She could only leave the main room, looking back every few steps.
In a moment, only the three of them were left inside the main room.
