Chapter 440 - 441: The Meaning of the Word Couple
Concerning too many details, Lou Xi didn’t want to elaborate on each one.
"Let’s go back, Young Master Qin is still alone in the ward." Lou Xi pulled Bai Lu to leave, unwilling to stay here even for a moment.
"What’s wrong with Mo Bai?" Lu Li asked, concerned.
"We were on the yacht at the time, thinking it was someone you sent for us, so we followed those people, and only later did we realize it wasn’t. I fell into the sea, and Young Master Qin got injured while rescuing me." Lou Xi said.
Lu Li frowned slightly, he knew something had happened, "How is Mo Bai’s injury?"
"Several stitches on his leg, but he’s fine otherwise."
"That’s good." Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Let’s hurry inside, it’s chilly by the sea at night."
The sky had gradually darkened, and the sea breeze was still a bit cool, so Lu Li let the two girls go ahead.
He saw an elegant lady standing not far away and politely nodded at her as a gesture, Shen Youran restrained her tears and nodded toward Lu Li.
...
"Who was that woman just now?" Lu Li asked Lou Xi on the way back.
Lou Xi seemed a bit dazed, not sure if she really didn’t hear Lu Li’s question or pretended not to.
Bai Lu elbowed Lu Li’s abdomen, signaling him to stop talking, didn’t he see Lou Xi’s current situation isn’t good?
Lu Li held his abdomen and fell silent.
Back in the ward, Qin Mobai was surprised by Lu Li and Bai Lu’s arrival. Only after they explained did he realize their concern was possibly related to Xi Siwei.
As for Lou Xi, once back in the ward, she quietly sat by the window, not speaking, nor joining their conversation.
"What’s wrong with sister-in-law?" Lu Li asked Qin Mobai in a low voice, "Her mood is really low, did you make her angry?"
At the mention of this, Lu Li got a bit excited, realizing even Qin Mobai had things he couldn’t handle. Didn’t he always say there’s nothing he couldn’t deal with?
"Yes, I’ve never seen Xixi like this." Bai Lu said worriedly.
Qin Mobai took a deep breath, "She will be fine."
It was the first time Lu Li saw Qin Mobai speaking with such uncertainty, suggesting there might be a real problem.
"You two head back first, let me be alone with Lou Xi."
"Since we’re here, how can we leave so quickly?" A pre-honeymoon seems nice, plus paid vacation.
"I’m saying head back to the hotel."
"So you agree to my paid vacation! President Qin really is considerate of his subordinates!"
Qin Mobai wasn’t in the mood for banter with Lu Li at the moment, after a look, Lu Li wisely fell silent and left the ward with Bai Lu.
After Lu Li and Bai Lu left, Qin Mobai walked with a crutch to sit beside Lou Xi.
"Hey? How come you’re on your feet? The wound hasn’t healed yet!" Lou Xi snapped back to reality, noticing Qin Mobai was up.
Qin Mobai didn’t seem to care much, he put down his crutch and embraced Lou Xi.
"I know my wife needs a warm hug now, so I came over." He gently pressed Lou Xi’s head against his chest, letting her hear the strong heartbeat beneath his left chest through his clothes.
"In the future, don’t handle things alone. We are husband and wife, I can help you bear your pain and sorrow." Qin Mobai comforted Lou Xi by patting her back rhythmically.
The girl nestled in his arms, her shoulders trembling.
The meaning of the word "spouses" is to face health and joy, sadness and happiness, wealth or poverty together.
