Chapter 279 - 280 Date (1)
This isn’t because Lou Xi just received Bai Lu’s call and learned that the person Bai Lu saved as "Lili Yuan Shangcao" on her phone is Lu Li, so Lou Xi now feels something strange when looking at Lu Li.
Because usually when Lou Xi goes to work at the Jia Sheng Group, Lu Li always has this business-like, very serious demeanor. But privately, he’s such a warm person, giving Lou Xi a strong sense of contrast.
But Lou Xi never thought that Lu Li would be walking with Bai Lu.
"What are you looking at?" Qin Mobai ruffled Lou Xi’s hair. This girl often zones out, and he wonders what she’s thinking about all day.
Lou Xi quickly snapped back and looked at Qin Mobai.
"Nothing." They had already left the hotpot restaurant and seemed to be planning to head back home.
Of course, Qin Mobai had already asked Lu Li to take Bai Lu home since he was too lazy to give anyone else a ride, so he asked Lu Li to come along.
Qin Mobai followed Lou Xi’s gaze, unsure whether she was watching the two people walking in front or the movie clips playing on the distant big screen.
"Want to watch a movie?" Speaking of which, Qin Mobai had never properly dated Lou Xi, always doing indescribable things at home. No wonder Lou Xi had an especially expectant expression when she saw the big screen.
But Lou Xi wasn’t really watching the movie on the screen; she was truly looking at Bai Lu and Lu Li.
The two acted as if they were meeting for the first time, walking side by side with more than half a meter between them, as if afraid of others knowing about their relationship.
Maybe, they’re having an underground romance!
"Young Master Qin, have you finished your work?" Just during the time she and Bai Lu had hotpot, Qin Mobai seemed free, making Lou Xi worry that he hurriedly wrapped up his work to come and pick her up.
"Almost, I’ll handle the rest tomorrow." Qin Mobai didn’t want Lou Xi to worry about his work issues, knowing he could manage them himself, "Would you like to watch a movie?"
Lou Xi knew Qin Mobai wasn’t keen on discussing work matters, so she didn’t ask further.
After all, if Qin Mobai is worried about company stuff during work and has to talk about it after hours, it would mean he’s still working.
She wanted him to relax a bit.
"Sure, I’ll go ask Bai Lu if they want to watch too." Just as well, she could stick around and observe those two!
"Why would you invite them too?" Clearly, Qin Mobai didn’t want to go watch a movie with Bai Lu and Lu Li; he only wanted to go with Lou Xi, or wouldn’t go at all.
"Don’t you think the two of them are quite a match?" Lou Xi said with a grin.
"Since when did you start playing cupid?"
"Maybe, I don’t even need to!" Lou Xi said mysteriously, "Young Master Qin, what do you think of President Lu as a person? I mean in terms of character and such. You’re friends, so you must know better."
Though she’d interacted with Lu Li before, if he was really considering being with Bai Lu, Lou Xi felt that as a good friend, she should check things out for Bai Lu.
When she asked, her mind was wandering elsewhere, completely missing Qin Mobai’s expression.
Qin Mobai’s entire face sank.
"You’re asking about another man right in front of me?"
