Chapter 40 - 041 You Seem Very Afraid of Young Master Qin
If he’s not domineering, he’s not Qin Mobai.
When Lou Xi was talking to Qin Mobai about the IOU issue, her phone rang.
This time, it was Bai Lu calling. She quickly picked up.
"Lu Lu, what’s wrong? Is there something you need?"
"Of course, there’s something. Where exactly are you now? I’ve thought it over and still can’t feel assured, so I’ve left the school." Bai Lu thought about it and simply couldn’t let Lou Xi wander outside alone.
Lou Xi glanced at Qin Mobai. Being with him wasn’t safe, but it definitely wasn’t dangerous.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine."
"How can you say you’re fine? You’re a young female student, unarmed. If you encounter some bad people, how could you resist when you’re alone?" Bai Lu almost started to cry, "It’s all my fault. If I had shared the responsibility with you then, the school wouldn’t have forced you to leave your dormitory..."
"Really, don’t worry about it. I’m with Young Master Qin now. He’s tall, strong, and exudes an intimidating presence. Who dares to bully me?" After saying that, Lou Xi realized something was off. Oops, she had said he exuded an intimidating presence in front of him. Would he be angry?
Lou Xi secretly turned her head to look at Qin Mobai and found him calmly driving, completely unaffected.
"What, you’re with Young Master Qin?" Bai Lu was quite surprised.
...
Half an hour later, inside the Little Nan Country Restaurant, Lou Xi and Bai Lu sat side by side, while Qin Mobai sat across from them.
Bai Lu felt a bit constrained. She didn’t know the details of what happened between Lou Xi and Qin Mobai, but she was sincerely thankful to the Young Master Qin opposite them.

"Thank you, Young Master Qin, for looking after Xixi. But could I ask you to speak to the school, please? The dorm’s appliances really weren’t ours; someone wanted to frame us, and Xixi has taken it all on herself." Bai Lu believed Young Master Qin might be different from those people at the school, so she thought asking him would surely help...
Lou Xi tugged on Bai Lu’s sleeve and whispered, "Young Master Qin has already helped me a lot. I don’t want to trouble him anymore..."
Lou Xi shook her head at Bai Lu, gesturing for her to stop talking.
Qin Mobai took in all of Lou Xi’s expressions and then said indifferently, "Strictly speaking, I’m just here to exchange ideas. I’m not a teacher at your school, and I can’t interfere in your dormitory affairs."
That’s how it was; Qin Mobai wasn’t actually part of their school, so what could he say?
Moreover, if they let Qin Mobai speak to the school, they’ll owe him another favor. Lou Xi didn’t even know how to repay him for all the favors.
"However, if you guys were truly framed, I can speak to the student affairs office and have them thoroughly investigate." Qin Mobai’s voice was cold, and within his deep dark eyes seemed to lurk a murderous intent.
Just from looking at him, Bai Lu felt a shiver run down her back, feeling that Young Master Qin was indeed quite formidable. So from the moment she sat down, she’d been sitting upright and didn’t even dare to take a sip of tea.
On the other hand, Lou Xi seemed much more composed, without any awkwardness, even daring to make eye contact with Young Master Qin.
"You two chat for a while; I just saw a friend outside. Excuse me." With that, Qin Mobai got up from his chair, and with a swift movement, exited the private dining room.
Once the man with the overwhelming presence left, Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief, her fair face regaining a natural expression as she exhaled deeply.
"Lu Lu, it seems like you’re really afraid of Young Master Qin?" Lou Xi asked puzzledly.
Even though Qin Mobai seemed a bit aloof on the surface, he was actually a kind person. Why be afraid?
Bai Lu grabbed Lou Xi’s wrist and replied, "Aren’t you afraid?"
