Chapter 329 - 330: Where is my sister-in-law, Lou Xi?
After Bai Lu and Su Qingxi got off the plane, there were special people to pick them up. Fortunately, the girl’s name also contained a "Xi," so Bai Lu wouldn’t easily make a mistake when calling her.
Su Qingxi was a girl Bai Lu met while working a part-time job. She was a junior at Transportation University, and when Bai Lu told her she only needed to act as "Lou Xi" during this trip, Su Qingxi agreed.
The driver directly took them to the hotel, and while letting them know, he mentioned someone would take them out for dinner in the evening. Bai Lu thought the person was probably the tour guide, so she didn’t give it much thought. She had no idea that the so-called "tour guide" was actually Qin Mobai’s friend, Fu Sinian!
Soon after arriving at the hotel, Bai Lu’s phone started ringing.
The caller identified as — Lili Yuan Shangcao.
This man really wouldn’t give up until he gets to the Yellow River; she’d already made things so clear, why does he keep pestering her?
If it weren’t for him being handsome and having done her a favor, she would have long given him a beating and told him to get lost.
"Arrived at the hotel?" Lu Li’s voice sounded pleasant, different from Qin Mobai’s deep, resonant tone. His voice was like a mountain stream, refreshing and pure enough to touch a person’s heart.
For a long time afterward, Bai Lu often thought that she had probably allowed Lu Li to "harass" her because of a special affection for his voice.
"If you already know, why did you still call?"
"To confirm you’re safe." Though Lu Li’s emotional intelligence was not as high as Qin Mobai’s, the words he said and things he did genuinely made people feel warm.
This feeling was different from being spoiled by one’s parents.
"I’m quite safe." Bai Lu didn’t snap at Lu Li this time and answered him sweetly.
"That’s good. Remember, don’t go out at night; it’s not safe for two girls. If anything happens, call me right away—even though I’m not with you, if something happens, I’ll send my friends over immediately."
Oddly, Bai Lu was moved by Lu Li’s words.
But soon, Bai Lu emerged from the whirlpool of emotions he caused. In these situations, Bai Lu usually remained rational.
She understood better than Lou Xi what she truly wanted.
"There’s no need for you to worry about me. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you. Goodbye, Lu Li." With that, Bai Lu quickly hung up the phone, afraid that if Lu Li said anything else, she might waver.
No matter how certain she was of what she wanted, she couldn’t resist Lu Li’s gentle overtures.
Therefore, it was better to disengage sooner rather than later.
Just as Bai Lu finished washing her hands and was about to leave the bathroom, she heard voices outside and immediately went out, leaving her phone on the table.
"You must be Bai Lu, my sister-in-law’s friend?" Qin Moxi looked at Su Qingxi and spoke with particular enthusiasm.
Su Qingxi looked at Qin Moxi, feeling a bit confused. It seemed someone who knew Lou Xi had arrived, but Lou Xi wasn’t here at the moment.
Bai Lu came out of the bathroom and saw the awkward situation.
"May I ask who you are?" Bai Lu asked the young girl standing at the door. She was very sweet and cute, elegant yet not overbearing, making people want to get close.
"I’m Qin Mobai’s sister, Qin Moxi," Qin Moxi introduced herself. "But my brother said my sister-in-law went out to play with a friend, so why are there two people here? Where’s my sister-in-law, Lou Xi?"
Well, now this was awkward!
