Chapter 387 - 388 The person who saved Qin Mobai was actually her
Qin Mobai wanted to go back and be honest with Lou Xi, but as the CEO of a listed company, Qin Mobai was busy all the time; the previous outings with Lou Xi were what little time he could steal away.
After dropping Lou Xi downstairs, he seized the moment when no one was around to kiss her passionately in the car before finally letting her go.
Lou Xi carried the lingerie and high heels she had bought earlier on Fifth Avenue upstairs.
For the past four or five days, Lou Xi hadn’t been home, and Qin Mobai apparently hadn’t called anyone to clean up either. This man was becoming more reliant on Lou Xi in daily life.
Once she got home, Lou Xi planned to tidy up the place a bit.
Though she could have asked the servants to come, Lou Xi felt some things were better done by oneself, since it was her own home.
Moreover, some tasks really cannot be delegated, such as washing Qin Mobai’s clothes...
She recalled how before they got together, he used to let her wash his underwear as a form of debt repayment.
Thinking about those past events with Qin Mobai now seemed utterly amusing to Lou Xi.
While sorting through Qin Mobai’s clothes, she checked his pockets for any valuables that shouldn’t get wet.
In the end, she found a wallet in Qin Mobai’s suit pocket.
Qin Mobai’s closet was full of wallets, presumably switching between them.
As Lou Xi was about to place the wallet on the sink, it was unsteady and fell to the floor.
She put down the pants and went to pick up the wallet, only to see a photograph fall out.
An old photograph, but carefully preserved by Qin Mobai, yet what puzzled Lou Xi the most was why Qin Mobai had a photo of her as a child.
The girl in the photo had two pigtails, standing under a cherry blossom tree, looking innocent and adorable, very endearing.
Lou Xi remembered never giving Qin Mobai her old photos; after all, she didn’t have any herself.
Could he have taken it when they went back to her hometown together last time?
Impossible, Qin Mobai’s every move was under Lou Xi’s watchful eye then; had he taken anything, she would certainly have noticed.
So, where did Qin Mobai get this photo?
Lou Xi, puzzled, texted Qin Mobai on WeChat.
Lou Xi: Young Master Qin, what’s the story with the photo in your wallet?
Half a minute later, Qin Mobai replied.
Young Master Qin: Sorry, I forgot to throw the photo away.
Throw it away? Why would he throw it away?
Qin Mobai actually intended to dispose of her photo!
Just as Lou Xi was about to ask, another message from Qin Mobai came through.
Young Master Qin: That photo was given to me fourteen years ago by the girl. I changed wallets a few days ago and forgot to discard it.
Given to him by a girl fourteen years ago?
But Lou Xi could clearly see the girl in the photo was her!
She remembered the cherry blossom tree, right at the end of their small town, blooming beautifully every March and April! If the girl in the photo saved Qin Mobai, then the person who rescued Qin Mobai should be Lou Xi!
However, Lou Xi couldn’t recall anything about Qin Mobai.
Fourteen years ago?
That was when Lou Jian Country took Lou Xi to Hai City!
Lou Xi: Young Master Qin, when you were taken to Hai City then, which welfare home were you at?
Young Master Qin: Hai City Sunshine Welfare Institute.
Lou Xi’s phone slipped from her hand to the floor, and she remembered the conversation between Lou Jian Country and Lou Nan; back then, Lou Jian Country took Lou Xi to Hai City Sunshine Welfare Institute!
So... was the person who saved Qin Mobai actually her?
