Chapter 384 - 385: Apologize to My Wife Immediately
Lou Xi waited for Qin Mobai to come back after paying, and they finally decided to buy a pair of high heels and a pair of flat shoes, because Lou Xi felt that wearing a wedding dress without high heels wouldn’t look good.
However, Qin Mobai insisted that Lou Xi wear flat shoes so her feet wouldn’t hurt.
In the end, they compromised and bought both pairs of shoes, planning to alternate between them on the wedding day.
Unexpectedly, Lou Xi didn’t wait for Qin Mobai to return, instead encountering Mi Beier.
"Shameless!" Mi Beier immediately insulted Lou Xi upon arriving.
Though Lou Xi was accustomed to Mi Beier’s arrogance, she didn’t stoop to her level and treated her as if she were air.
Seeing Lou Xi ignoring her, Mi Beier grew angrier and abruptly said, "You stole Shen Ruozhuo’s position, and so naturally accepted everything my cousin gave you. Don’t you feel ashamed? If you have any self-awareness, just tell my cousin that you aren’t the girl from 14 years ago, and you aren’t the one who saved him!"
Turns out, Mi Beier knew.
When Lou Xi heard her say this, her face turned pale, recalling what Qin Mobai drunkenly said the other day, making her instantly feel as if she had indeed stolen someone’s place.
At that moment, Lou Xi didn’t know what to say to refute Mi Beier.
"No words left, huh! Let me tell you, don’t dream of becoming a phoenix on the branch. Even if my cousin likes you now, one day he’ll see your true colors and drive you away! If I were you, I’d leave now, or else you’d be the one embarrassed when he eventually kicks you out!"
Lou Xi tightly clutched the hem of her dress, not unwilling to fight back, but unsure how to.
She really wasn’t the person who saved Qin Mobai; Shen Ruozhuo was. That elegant, noble woman—isn’t she the one qualified to stand by Qin Mobai’s side?
"Belle!" A sharp voice suddenly interrupted, causing both the seated Lou Xi and standing Mi Beier to shudder.
Mi Beier’s tension stemmed largely from fear of Qin Mobai. Last time, he punished her by wiping all the data from her phone, and it took her a long time to recover her bank account details, eventually conspiring to have her father send her to the United States.
Lou Xi’s concern was fearing Qin Mobai would reveal the matter, leaving her with no excuse to stay shamelessly.
"Belle, I’ve given you many chances because you’re my cousin, but you repeatedly challenge my limits. I’m really angry," Qin Mobai said frankly, signaling genuine anger.
The consequences of Qin Mobai’s anger were severe.
Mi Beier dared not look at Qin Mobai’s face and said, "I... cousin, but clearly she deceived you, she’s not the one who saved you... she..."
Mi Beier spoke out, stripping away the last cover between Lou Xi and Qin Mobai.
Lou Xi was considering that the wedding dress at home might never be worn, and these shoes might not have a chance to be used.
She and Qin Mobai might end up separating.
How painful...
"I know." Qin Mobai said calmly of a truth he’d long been aware of, "I know she’s not the person who saved me, but that can’t justify your disrespect towards Lou Xi. Belle, apologize to my wife, immediately."
Mi Beier’s shock was due to Qin Mobai actually asking her to apologize to Lou Xi.
While Lou Xi was concerned with the fact that Qin Mobai knew she wasn’t the one who saved him, yet he still acknowledged her as his wife!
