Chapter 261 - 262: From Now On, I Am Your Family (3)
Lou Xi remained crouched on the ground, slowly raised her head, her red eyes looking at Qin Mobai, "Young Master Qin, do you think... I am particularly..."
"No." Before Lou Xi could finish, Qin Mobai spoke up.
Lou Xi widened her eyes at Qin Mobai, but she hadn’t said anything yet. How did Qin Mobai know what she was thinking and then say "No"?
"In front of me, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about, nor should you feel ashamed. What I like is you, as a person, not your family, nor your status. I just want to give you what I think is the best of everything, to let you live in an ivory tower." Qin Mobai stroked Lou Xi’s hair, "Such a you only makes me feel more heartache, and what I’m thinking about is how to treat you better in the future, how to protect you."
When Qin Mobai spoke, Lou Xi knew he had guessed her thoughts.
Earlier, the reason Lou Xi cried so fiercely was, first, because she was abandoned by her family. Secondly, such an unbearable scene was witnessed by Qin Mobai, making Lou Xi feel humiliated.
She felt that any love should be built on the principle of mutual equality and consent, but from the start of this relationship, the two of them were not on an equal footing.
Qin Mobai stood on a high ground that Lou Xi could never reach.
Sometimes Lou Xi felt that Qin Mobai’s affection for her was like a charity, and she was very afraid that one day, Qin Mobai would suddenly take back this affection.
When Qin Mobai eventually withdraws that affection, how should she face everything?
After experiencing the most beautiful feelings in this world, if one day Qin Mobai turns and leaves, Lou Xi would feel as if the sky is falling.
"Young Master Qin, will you leave me?" Because of the abandonment she experienced as a child, Lou Xi felt very insecure. Now, with another tragedy unfolding because of money, Lou Xi was worried that she wouldn’t be able to cope with a third abandonment.
"I won’t. If the whole world abandoned you, don’t worry, I’ll leave the world with you." This was the greatest promise Qin Mobai could give Lou Xi, to always be by her side, giving her a sense of security.
When Lou Xi heard Qin Mobai’s words, her heart softened, and she dived into Qin Mobai’s embrace.
"So, stop crying, okay?" Qin Mobai’s lips curled up slightly. He very much enjoyed the feeling of being relied upon by Lou Xi. What was it like to have a girlfriend like a fluffy toy?
It was as if when Lou Xi threw herself into his arms, his entire heart melted. Even if Lou Xi wanted the whole world at this moment, he’d find a way to get it for her.
"Okay." Lou Xi nodded, she seemed to have forgotten she was in Qin Mobai’s embrace, so the nodding was a bit forceful, and her head bumped into Qin Mobai’s chin.
It was a bit painful, yet Lou Xi broke into a smile.
Perhaps this was precisely the feeling Qin Mobai mentioned earlier: when she was abandoned by the world, Qin Mobai was there with her, having Qin Mobai was like having the whole world.
"Lou Xi, have you ever thought about looking for your parents?" This was a very practical question. Qin Mobai had the capability to help Lou Xi search.
Howe...
Lou Xi shook her head.
"They didn’t want me at the time, no matter the reason, they just didn’t want me, and I don’t want to look for those who don’t want me." Lou Xi was very adamant about this.
