Chapter 311 - 312: I will not leave you, never.
It’s evident that Young Master Qin is not very happy because he had told Lou Xi that his sleep quality was poor before, and only after having Lou Xi by his side could he get a good night’s sleep. However, now Lou Xi is telling him that she plans to go on a trip with Bai Lu.
"The National Day holidays just ended, where did you get this vacation?" Qin Mobai asked in a deep voice, subtly expressing that he didn’t want Lou Xi to travel with Bai Lu.
The lie she told earlier was just off the cuff, and now Qin Mobai found the flaw, making Lou Xi pause for a moment.
"Well... college students, you know? If you don’t skip a class or two, you can’t really call yourself a college student."
"I never skipped classes during my college days." Because he always had legitimate reasons not to attend.
It seemed that this excuse wouldn’t work... Lou Xi didn’t want to leave Qin Mobai with the impression that she was skipping classes to have fun, but she also didn’t want to let him know about her family issues.
Racking her brain, racking her brain.
Just when Lou Xi wasn’t sure what excuse to use, Qin Mobai suddenly spoke up, "Two girls traveling isn’t very safe, but I currently can’t accompany you. Just tell me where you’re going, and I’ll find a reliable local guide for you."
In the end, Qin Mobai compromised.
When Qin Mobai finished speaking, Lou Xi sat on the sofa, not knowing what to say for a moment or how to respond to him.
At first, Lou Xi thought Qin Mobai’s sleep issues were just a ploy to make her feel sorry for him, hoping she’d treat him better. But sometimes, when she woke up in the middle of the night and found him still not asleep, she realized his sleep issues were real.
Now he agreed to let her "go out and play," and Lou Xi was truly moved by this from Qin Mobai.
"I understand, at your age, a girl like you should go out and see the world, broaden your horizons." Qin Mobai suddenly became serious, "When I was your age, I had already traveled to many countries, met many people, experienced many things. The broader your perspective, the more confidence you’ll have."
His expression grew increasingly profound, reminding Lou Xi of the times when Qin Mobai was like a god ruling everything during their meetings.
Yet, he wasn’t completely domineering and unreasonable, considering Lou Xi’s needs.
At this moment, Qin Mobai was less like a boyfriend and more like a mentor, planning Lou Xi’s life and future, encouraging her to experience the wider world.
"Don’t look at me like that." Qin Mobai put his hand on Lou Xi’s head, turning her away so she couldn’t see him, "If you look any longer, I can’t guarantee I won’t lock you at home, never to let you out."
"You wouldn’t do that!" Lou Xi’s heart was a complex mix of emotions.
"Lou Xi, I would." Suddenly, Qin Mobai pulled Lou Xi into his embrace, "I’m afraid that after seeing the broader world, you’ll find that I’m just an ordinary man and won’t like me or love me as much as you do now. Lou Xi, I’m afraid that one day, you’ll leave my side."
Qin Mobai held Lou Xi tightly, as if he was truly afraid she might disappear.
To ease Qin Mobai’s anxiety, Lou Xi could only hold him tight in return.
"Young Master Qin, I won’t leave you, ever. I love you so much," even knowing you spent money for my freedom, I wouldn’t leave you because I love you, "leaving you would make me so, so sad."
