Chapter 444 - 445: At Least Give Her a Chance to Make Amends
Qin Mobai was injured, and Lou Xi felt sorry for him. She wouldn’t let him stay on the sofa for too long. After comforting him for a while, she let him go to bed.
"Wife, the previous accident at sea has nothing to do with Ms. Shen. It was Ji Mushen’s doing." Qin Mobai looked at Lou Xi’s expression and said to her, "We can’t wrong a good person, don’t you think?"
"It looks like your injury isn’t too severe. You can still get up and say so much." Lou Xi released Qin Mobai’s hand, letting him sit on the bed by himself.
Without Lou Xi’s help, Qin Mobai suddenly sat on the bed, and his wound really hurt for a moment.
"Ugh, are you trying to murder your husband!" Qin Mobai’s complexion turned slightly pale, as if she had really hurt him somehow.
Would Lou Xi truly want to see Qin Mobai suffer?
She quickly went over to check where he was hurt, "How are you? Did you touch the wound? I’ll go call a doctor for you."
Lou Xi was just about to call the doctor, but Qin Mobai grabbed her wrist, "It’s not so painful that I need a doctor."
"Oh." Lou Xi responded softly, "Then you get some rest."
"Come here, talk to me." Although his tone was interrogative, Qin Mobai didn’t give Lou Xi any room to think; he simply wanted to talk. "I don’t think I’ve ever told you about my mother."
Lou Xi remembered Qin Mobai only saying his mother passed away when he was just born. She knew this was a pain in Qin Mobai’s heart, so during all their time together, she had never brought it up.
And she also knew his relationship with his father was very bad, so at the time of their wedding, Qin Mobai’s father didn’t even show up.
So when Qin Mobai said this, Lou Xi’s previously uneasy and agitated heart suddenly calmed down.
Qin Mobai stretched out his arms, signaling Lou Xi to come closer. She glanced at him and then went into his embrace.
He still seemed to have a slight smell of salty seawater, which reached her nose mixed with the scent of antiseptic when Lou Xi leaned against his chest.
"My mom died on the day I was born," Qin Mobai said.
Lou Xi paused, so Mrs. Qin died giving birth to Qin Mobai? Then every year, Qin Mobai’s birthday is also Mrs. Qin’s death anniversary. This must be such a profound hurt for Qin Mobai.
Thinking of this, Lou Xi couldn’t help but lean closer to Qin Mobai, wanting to give him warmth.
"According to grandma, during the time mom was pregnant with me, she and dad often quarreled. When she was eight months pregnant, during one of their fights, her water broke. When she was sent to the hospital, the situation was very bad. The doctor asked whether to save the mother or the child."
Lou Xi tightly grasped Qin Mobai’s clothes. Now that he was lying beside her, it meant that back then, Qin Mobai’s father chose to save the child.
"Dad chose to save the mother, but mom begged the doctor to save me, so I survived." Qin Mobai paused for a moment, "From the time I was born, I never saw my mom. All the things related to her at home were burned by dad; there isn’t even a photo. Lou Xi, honestly, I envy you. At least, in the end, your biological mother is still here."
Unlike him, who could never see his mother again, and the relationship with his father was particularly bad.
"Lou Xi, I’m not insisting you must forgive Ms. Shen, but I do hope you at least give her a chance to make amends. It’s clear she values you a lot." If Shen Youran didn’t care about Lou Xi, Qin Mobai wouldn’t have said this to her.
