Chapter 278 - 279: Violating Rules (12)
Lou Xi didn’t say anything and directly hung up the phone.
Only then did she realize that "Lili Yuan Shangcao" was referring to Lu Li.
Maybe the note Lu Li gave Bai Lu is "A flock of white egrets flying to the blue sky"!
But how did the two people meet, and how did they... no, get in touch?
Lou Xi tried hard to recall the relationship between Bai Lu and Lu Li, thinking about how Bai Lu’s mother was ill and hospitalized, and later it seemed that Qin Mobai asked Lu Li to take care of it.
So, is this how Bai Lu and Lu Li met? And then somehow ended up together?
After a short while, Bai Lu returned with two dipping sauce plates, without any change in her expression, as she still didn’t know that Lou Xi had just answered her call and learned about the matter between her and Lu Li from Lu Li’s words.
"Here you go, super spicy homemade sauce." Bai Lu placed the one Lou Xi wanted in front of her. Only when she looked up did she notice something was off about Lou Xi’s face, "Why does your face look so strange? What’s wrong?"
Bai Lu asked Lou Xi.
Lou Xi shook her head, thought for a moment, and asked Bai Lu, "Darling, have you recently... um... been planning to find a boyfriend?"
"Why are you asking like that?" Bai Lu seemed a bit wary, looking at Lou Xi.
"I’m just asking, thinking since I’m with Young Master Qin, if you remain single, wouldn’t that be unfair to you!" Lou Xi probably felt embarrassed to directly ask Bai Lu about her relationship with Lu Li.
"It’s fine, as long as you sprinkle dog food at me every day, I can stay single." Bai Lu said with a smile.
"Otherwise, I could introduce you to someone. There are so many outstanding men around Young Master Qin, any random choice would be great!"
"Please save your efforts for something else!" Bai Lu quickly rejected the idea.
"Alright then, if you do get into a relationship, be sure to tell me!" Lou Xi thought Bai Lu and Lu Li’s relationship might not be confirmed yet, so she didn’t want to bring it up too early.
No worries, they’re already so familiar with each other. If they really end up together, they can go out as a foursome together for fun in the future!
Lou Xi thought really optimistically.
"Xixi, let me return the money I borrowed from you last time." Bai Lu said, taking out a card from her bag, "Always having this debt between you and Young Master Qin isn’t very good. Although Young Master Qin pampers you, I feel that men and women should be equal, and I can’t make you owe Young Master Qin money because of me."
Considering the situation, if Lou Xi really doesn’t accept Bai Lu’s money, it would be hard to explain.
"How come you suddenly have so much money? I’m not in urgent need of it." Lou Xi wasn’t worried about where Bai Lu got the money from, but thinking about it, perhaps she borrowed it from Lu Li.
This silly girl, owing her money is better than owing Lu Li, right!
"I just happened to have it, so take it." Bai Lu brushed off the question, quickly ordering the dishes she’d decided on, and started chatting about other things with Lou Xi.
Over a meal of hot pot, the two people ate for a long time, and Lou Xi also talked about things back home, as well as Qin Mobai’s little island.
Successfully making Bai Lu envious.
After the hot pot, the two people went for a walk around the shops, and in the end, Qin Mobai called to ask where Lou Xi was.
She told Qin Mobai that she and Bai Lu were downtown, and he said he would come to pick her up.
Half an hour later, Qin Mobai indeed arrived, and he brought Lu Li along.
