Chapter 28 - 29: The Cost of Thanking Him Was Too Great
A firepot meal left Lou Xi sitting uneasily. Once they finally finished eating, Lou Xi touched her wallet.
She remembered the largest denomination inside was a fifty...
This meal not only required the cost of the food, but also a fee for booking the venue.
Is the booking fee really expensive?
She had just said she wanted to thank Qin Mobai, but now Lou Xi realized that the cost of thanking him was too high.
Silently, she watched as Qin Mobai pulled out his limited edition Burberry wallet and drew out a black card to settle the bill with the waiter.
Suddenly, Lou Xi said, "Young Master Qin, don’t worry, I’ll definitely repay you the money I owe you soon!"
Qin Mobai was taken aback for half a second by Lou Xi’s unexpected seriousness, then held his wallet in his hand, gave a light "hmm", and didn’t seem to mention the previous proposition of offering himself.
How changeable Young Master Qin is.
However, Young Master Qin seemed not to have eaten anything earlier, maybe he truly does not like food cooked in one pot, which made Lou Xi feel guilty.
After all, whenever she smells the firepot, she can’t move past it. Young Master Qin must have come here just to accommodate her.
But...
"Young Master Qin, how do you know I like eating firepot?" Could it be that Young Master Qin not only has mind-reading technique but is also like a parasite in her stomach?
Of course, comparing Young Master Qin to a parasite might seem a bit improper, she just wanted to express how well Young Master Qin understands her.
At this moment, the waiter returned Qin Mobai’s black card, he gracefully placed it back in his wallet and casually said, "Whatever you think I know, I know. Whatever you think I don’t know, I also know."
A sudden chill went up her spine, what is it exactly that Qin Mobai knows?
Outside the firepot restaurant, a man in a suit was waiting. Upon seeing Qin Mobai, he respectfully walked up.
Qin Mobai said to Lou Xi, "I have something to do this afternoon. I’ll have Su Lin accompany you to check the posts."
It turned out Qin Mobai had things to do in the afternoon, yet he still accompanied her to so many places. Lou Xi suddenly felt moved.
"Thank you, Young Master Qin, really sorry for bothering you, your great kindness and virtue..."
"Alright, your act is not convincing at all." Qin Mobai ruthlessly exposed Lou Xi.
She was dumbfounded, where exactly did she look unconvincing? Her emotions were in place, and her expression was serious.
Beside them, Su Lin couldn’t help but laugh, but constrained by Qin Mobai’s presence, he had to hold back his laughter.
"Su Lin, I’m entrusting her to you, you—" He didn’t finish the sentence, but with a glance, Su Lin immediately became serious.
"Yes, I guarantee the task will be completed!"
With that, Qin Mobai left.
After he left, Su Lin looked at her with increasingly curious eyes as if he wanted to see her completely, inside and out, clearly and distinctly.
Lou Xi quickly clutched her bag, feeling a bit unsafe looking at this uncle.
"Haha, don’t worry, I’m not a bad guy, I’m a good person!"
"Usually, bad guys say they’re good people."
"Do you think I look like a bad guy?"
"You look like one all over."
"Interesting." Su Lin smiled and looked at Lou Xi, "You’re the first woman that Young Master Qin... let me watch over."
Su Lin forcefully swallowed back the words "President Qin," knowing Qin Mobai was worried his identity would frighten her, so he was being discreet.
"I’m a schoolmate of Young Master Qin."
"Hmm. That’s nice..."
Why did that sentence, when spoken by Su Lin, seem to carry a different tone altogether?
