Chapter 291 - 292 Believe (1)
Lou Xi made tomato egg noodles at home.
She had cooked them in the afternoon, but since Qin Mobai hadn’t returned, she reheated them once they got cold and continued to wait.
Lou Xi kept repeating this process, and finally, just as the noodles were turning mushy in the bowl, the apartment door was opened from the outside.
When Qin Mobai came in from outside, his face was as calmly confident as ever, and he even gave Lou Xi a warm smile upon seeing her.
Actually, as long as Lou Xi saw such a smile from Qin Mobai, she felt that all her waiting was worthwhile. She put down the bowl in her hands and ran towards Qin Mobai without saying a word, just gave him a big hug.
The strength with which she hugged Qin Mobai matched the anxiety she had felt while waiting for him.
A sense of regained happiness enveloped Lou Xi.
After Bai Lu left, Lou Xi began to overthink, wondering what she would do if, one day, Qin Mobai suddenly left her.
She was very afraid of such a situation, unable to imagine a life without Qin Mobai, and even less sure of how she would find the strength to believe in love again without Qin Mobai’s affections.
"Did you see the press conference this morning?" Qin Mobai gently soothed Lou Xi’s back, calming her anxious heart.
Lou Xi nodded while still in Qin Mobai’s embrace.
She thought, Qin Mobai might never know how tumultuous her emotions were during the waiting period of this day.
No calls, no messages from Qin Mobai—it was terrifying.
Even now, as Qin Mobai held her, she hadn’t completely come to her senses.
"I wasn’t aware of the press conference situation, it was already set when I got there. Photos of us going to the hotel last night were taken; it was my oversight. I shouldn’t have brazenly taken you to the hotel at this time," Qin Mobai apologized for his impatience to Lou Xi, acknowledging that if he had waited until they got home last night, none of this would have happened.
Lou Xi shook her head, not blaming Young Master Qin.
"I am officially here as a recommended exchange student. If our relationship is public now, it would be very unfavorable for you. I should have thought better and not attended Nan University once we got together," which led to the current situation.
In any relationship not accepted by society, a competent man will only become an object of sympathy, while the vulnerable girl will become the target of attack.
Qin Mobai could foresee that if his relationship with Lou Xi were made public, Lou Xi would become the bad woman people claim seduced the rich young master, a scheming girl who would use any means to marry into wealth...
And Qin Mobai did not want to see such a situation.
Because he is the person involved, he knows what kind of person Lou Xi is.
"Once this blows over, I’ll announce the cancellation of my engagement to Shen Ruozhuo." Qin Mobai released Lou Xi, cupping her face and making her look into his eyes, "Remember, no matter what, from start to finish, you are the only one in my heart."
Deep affection flowed from Qin Mobai’s eyes into Lou Xi’s, and she was thoroughly captivated by this man’s gaze.
She thought, even if Qin Mobai were lying to her, she would willingly accept it.
If he wants to deceive her, then deceive her for a lifetime, allowing her to never wake up from this beautiful dream.
"Young Master Qin, I made tomato egg noodles for you, would you like to eat?"
