Chapter 459 - 460: Bowing the Noble Head
Ji Mushen instructed someone to go in and inform Shen Youran, and soon that person came out and said to let Lou Xi and Qin Mobai go in.
Ever since Shen Youran fainted in the afternoon and was sent to the hospital for a check-up, after the diagnosis, she has been staying in the ward and hasn’t come out, not even for the doctor’s consultation.
Ji Mushen knew it was because he had spoiled Shen Youran like this.
"Go in." Ji Mushen said to Lou Xi and Qin Mobai.
Now he realized that no matter how well he treats Shen Youran, it cannot compare to even one glance from her biological daughter.
Nearly fifty-year-old Ji Mushen, the invincible Ji Mushen, the wealthy enough to rival a nation Ji Mushen, felt failure at this moment.
But Lou Xi did not step forward; instead, she looked at Ji Mushen and said, "Shouldn’t Mr. Ji apologize for the attack on me and Mobai at sea five days ago?"
As soon as she spoke, Ji Mushen’s cold, sharp eyes fell on Lou Xi.
Ji Mushen is the person who calls the shots in Ji’s Kingdom, and in the entire kingdom, no one dares to defy him, no one dares to say any disrespectful words to him.
Yet, this Lou Xi actually dared to ask him to apologize!
Cold air rose from Ji Mushen’s body.
However, as soon as this chill rose, Qin Mobai immediately tried to pull Lou Xi to his side protectively.
Lou Xi, however, didn’t care at all, meeting Ji Mushen’s gaze.
"If Mr. Ji doesn’t apologize, then Mobai and I will leave first, and we’ll come back when Mr. Ji does." Saying this, Lou Xi began to pull Qin Mobai to leave.
Of course, she couldn’t let Qin Mobai’s injury be in vain; she had to seek justice for herself and Qin Mobai, and couldn’t let them be bullied for nothing.
Ji Mushen’s chest was filled with a fire; he didn’t want to apologize to a young girl.
But if he didn’t apologize, they wouldn’t go in to see Shen Youran, which would make Shen Youran unhappy.
"Fine, I solemnly apologize to you for that day’s incident."
Not sure if it was heard wrong, the invincible Ji Mushen actually apologized to Lou Xi and Qin Mobai.
The slightly lowered head bent the invisible crown on his head.
Qin Mobai looked at Lou Xi with newfound respect; this girl wasn’t someone to be easily bullied. Previously, Qin Mobai thought he’d have to protect her for a lifetime, letting her live like she’s in an ivory tower.
But after numerous incidents post-marriage, Qin Mobai felt that in the future, they could support each other on the journey ahead.
Lou Xi looked at the nodding Ji Mushen, but did not immediately accept his apology.
Everyone on the floor, including the hospital’s director, doctors, nurses, Ji Mushen’s bodyguards, and subordinates, all watched Ji Mushen apologize to Lou Xi and Qin Mobai.
They were quite shocked.
Lou Xi let out a long sigh, looked at Ji Mushen, and said, "Now I finally understand why Ms. Shen stayed with you all these years, instead of coming to find me."
After speaking, Lou Xi pulled Qin Mobai towards Shen Youran’s ward.
Lou Xi’s words fell into the ears of Ji Mushen and Qin Mobai.
Qin Mobai asked Lou Xi, "Why say that?"
Lou Xi turned to look at Qin Mobai, with the corner of her eye still on the nodding Ji Mushen.
"Because Mr. Ji loves Ms. Shen very much, and this man’s love is enough to soothe her guilt towards her daughter."
When a man can lower his noble head for the woman he loves, there is only one reason that can explain it.
Love.
Lou Xi was shaken by Ji Mushen’s deep affection.
