Chapter 335 - 336: Because I am with Qin Mobai, I am doing very well
Bai Lu didn’t expect Lou Xi to come to the Capital so soon and join them, nor did she manage to arrange Su Qingxi, so in the end it was just the three of them together.
But meeting the tour guide was quite a surprise for Bai Lu.
"Rong... Brother Rong?" Lou Xi looked at the man in casual clothing in front of her, shocked beyond belief. Wasn’t Fu Sinian supposed to be the guide? How did it turn out to be Rong Zhi?
Rong Zhi looked at the three young girls in front of him. In the morning, his superior gave him an urgent order, telling him he didn’t need to go to work today and should take a few friends for a tour around the Capital.
Apparently, the superior’s friend turned out to be Lou Xi.
Rong Zhi remembered the relationship between Lou Xi and Qin Mobai and realized Fu Sinian and Qin Mobai were friends.
Then...
"No wonder President Fu said his friends were coming from Nancheng and that we would have common topics to talk about. Turns out it was you guys," Rong Zhi said, smiling.
Meeting under such circumstances was extremely awkward, and Lou Xi felt a million times uncomfortable.
Probably sensing Lou Xi’s discomfort, Bai Lu stood between the two and said, "Weren’t you saying you wanted to see the Forbidden City? We’re already in the Capital, what are we waiting for! Let’s go now!"
Thanks to Bai Lu, the atmosphere wasn’t as awkward.
Bai Lu hooked her arm around Lou Xi’s shoulder and walked outside, not caring if Rong Zhi followed them or not.
"What’s going on here, why would your Brother Rong be working at Young Master Qin’s friend’s company? Wasn’t your Brother Rong running his own business?" Bai Lu asked Lou Xi quietly.
"Stop with the ’your Brother Rong,’ I’m dying of embarrassment here and don’t feel like going out at all!"
"You don’t want to go out? Do you want to get exposed by Young Master Qin? You must know, even Young Master Qin’s sister is on our side. If you suddenly change sides, we’re all doomed," Bai Lu said, making a throat-slitting gesture.
If there’s exposure, all of Lou Xi’s allies would suffer, wouldn’t they?
So this matter... can only continue to be concealed!
"I know it’s a ’between a rock and a hard place’ situation, so now I can only take it one step at a time. If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn’t have gone back to my hometown." After going back, she learned she was abandoned by Lou Jian Country and her biological parents at age seven.
"You, you’re just too kind-hearted. I’m carefree, living a good life!"
"Which is why Lu Li was heartbroken by you."
"Don’t bring up Lu Li, and we can continue being good friends!"
The conversation halted at Lu Li.
After that, Rong Zhi drove the three young girls to the Forbidden City.
Bai Lu sat in the front passenger seat to help alleviate Lou Xi’s embarrassment, thus voluntarily choosing that seat.
At that moment, Bai Lu noticed the smile on Rong Zhi’s face stiffened a bit.
With a woman’s sixth sense, Bai Lu felt Rong Zhi liked Lou Xi.
...
At the Forbidden City, Bai Lu ran around for fun, and Su Qingxi, being an especially lively girl, joined her, both completely releasing their true selves.
The only one was Lou Xi, who, having taken a plane in the morning, wasn’t very energetic, and Rong Zhi stayed with her throughout.
"Xixi, long time no see." She still remembered their falling out from before, responding to Rong Zhi’s confession by stating she was with Qin Mobai, "How have you been?"
Lou Xi wandered through the ancient Forbidden City, not knowing how to answer.
"You seem to be doing well." Because she’s with Qin Mobai, life must be good, right?
