Chapter 396-397: Attending the Press Conference as Mrs. Qin
Bai Lu was trapped between Lu Li and the back of the door, unable to escape.
It was Bai Lu’s first kiss with Lu Li.
When being stared at by such a stunningly handsome man, it’s hard not to fall.
But...
Lu Li, with a hoarse voice, gave Bai Lu a reassuring pill.
Though she often joked with Lu Li, when it really came to this moment, she was still a pure young girl, unable to handle his words.
Also, it was really her first time being this close to a man, causing her to blush and her heart to race.
Now Lu Li was in a dilemma, he didn’t let go of Bai Lu, and said in a low voice.
Bai Lu was not very experienced, not knowing when she would be okay.
...
"Lu Lu, Lu Li?" Lou Xi, coming down the stairs, did not see Bai Lu and Lu Li. Had these two left?
They left without saying anything.
Not seeing them, Lou Xi went back to tidy up the clothes she originally intended to wash, should have just stayed home and washed clothes, but ended up causing a car accident.
However, it’s good this way, Lou Xi recalled past events and solved a big trouble.
When Lou Xi was about to put the clothes in the sunroom into the washing machine, she heard the doorbell, so she went to open the door.
Only to see Bai Lu and Lu Li coming out from the study.
Lou Xi was quite surprised, she didn’t see them earlier when calling out, how come they appeared now?
"How did you..." Lou Xi was somewhat confused.
But seeing Bai Lu’s slightly reddened face and Lu Li’s blooming smile, Lou Xi knew Lu Li must have already won over Bai Lu.
Lou Xi chuckled twice before she went to open the door.
The person at the door was Su Lin, who brought dinner from Yuzun Fang, not entrusted by Qin Mobai himself, but couldn’t delegate it to others.
Su Lin also brought another news, Qin Mobai will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce this joyous event the day before the wedding.
Lou Xi also had to attend, as Mrs. Qin.
Lou Xi was basically pushed to the stage, and by the time she realized it, she was already in the backstage preparation room of the conference hall.
She was wearing an ivory white long dress, her hair had been meticulously done, loosely coiffed in a bun at the back of her head, with light makeup on her face, and a touch of pale pink lipstick complementing her fair skin.
Compared to Lou Xi’s nervousness, Qin Mobai appeared much calmer.
The man wore a black suit, finely tailored to flaunt his flawless figure, accompanied by a white shirt adding formality, paired with a dark grey patterned tie.
This man was like the most elegant gentleman stepping out from a medieval fresco, even when facing an upcoming sensational press conference, he could handle it with composure.
However, Lou Xi couldn’t, the biggest occasion she’d faced was during college orientation, where she spoke as a freshman representative on stage.
In the school auditorium filled with thousands of students, Lou Xi didn’t feel nervous.
But today was different, so many reporters bearing cameras and holding microphones.
Beyond the camera lens, there were so many spectators, soon everyone would know she is to marry Qin Mobai tomorrow.
Nervous.
Seeing Lou Xi’s anxiety, Qin Mobai walked up to her, held her hand, gently rubbing it.
"Hmm? The scratch on your arm?" Qin Mobai noticed a scratch on the inside of Lou Xi’s arm, probably from the car accident yesterday.
Qin Mobai’s brows slightly furrowed, he always felt that a girl shouldn’t have scars, if anyone dared to scar his woman, he’d have to kill them!
In the resting room were some spare clothes, Qin Mobai saw a knit shawl that matched Lou Xi’s dress today, so he went to get it and draped it over Lou Xi.
"Who picked the dress for you, revealing so much?" Qin Mobai almost wrapped Lou Xi tightly, not wanting anyone to look.
Lou Xi thought for a moment, "Wasn’t it you who picked the dress?"
Earlier at home, faced with a wardrobe full of gowns, Qin Mobai selected this conservative style, yet said it revealed too much.
"Is that so?" Qin Mobai didn’t admit it at this moment.
Seeing Qin Mobai’s unyielding demeanor, Lou Xi smiled, she enjoyed seeing Qin Mobai’s proud expression.
In her presence, he wasn’t the high-and-mighty CEO, but more like a child, whom Lou Xi nurtured as she would a child.
"You’ve smiled." Qin Mobai’s face also broke into a smile, "Don’t be nervous, I’m here. If anything happens, stand behind me. Even if the whole world betrays you, I will betray the world with you."
The only person who could make him betray the world was Lou Xi alone.
"I wasn’t nervous initially, but saying this made me even nervous!" Truly the more he spoke, the more nervous she became, "Does this dress look good? Did my makeup smudge? My hair..."
Before finishing her words, Qin Mobai bowed his head and kissed Lou Xi’s lips.
What could effectively shut up a talkative woman?
That’s using a kiss, leaving her no chance to speak.
Dizzying and tender.
Qin Mobai released Lou Xi, "Still nervous?"
It seems... just a little...
In her bewildered gaze, Qin Mobai’s kiss fell again.
Over and over...
"Still nervous?"
