Chapter 470 - 471: Not Wanting the Dirty Drama to Be Seen by Lou Xi
Lou Xi froze for a moment before realizing that the woman standing in front of her, wearing Qin Mobai’s shirt, was the daughter of her foster parents, Lou Nan.
"What are you doing here?" And wearing Lou Xi’s husband’s shirt!
Lou Xi put down her suitcase and walked into the living room.
"This is my home, why can’t I be here?" Lou Nan shrugged, her fair little face full of innocence.
How did this become Lou Nan’s home?
When Lou Xi was about to ask something else, she heard a loud crash from the study on the second floor.
It sounded like a vase being smashed.
Lou Xi gave Lou Nan a deep look, didn’t bother to waste words with her, and headed straight upstairs.
She had to find Qin Mobai first to figure out what exactly was going on, and why Lou Nan was here!
Why, in the past month during their daily video calls, did Qin Mobai not mention Lou Nan even once?
As Lou Xi walked upstairs, Lou Nan lazily lounged on the sofa as if everything happening there had nothing to do with her.
The closer she got upstairs, the louder the argument from the study became.
It was Qin Mobai’s voice; he was furious, describing it as enraged would be more than fitting.
"I tell you, there can only be one Mrs. Qin in this house, and that’s my mother!" Qin Mobai’s voice came from the study, less composed than usual, more irritable.
"I also tell you, this is my own business, and it’s none of your concern."
"Then there’s nothing to talk about; rest assured, I’ll make every effort to get you and that woman out of the Qin Family!"
With that said, the study door swung open, and Qin Mobai emerged, eyes bloodshot, exuding hostility.
The moment he saw Lou Xi outside the study, Qin Mobai’s hostility was forcibly suppressed.
"You’re back?" Qin Mobai was full of surprise upon seeing Lou Xi, "How was the surgery?"
Qin Mobai scrutinized Lou Xi up and down several times, making sure that the healthy-looking Lou Xi in front of him was indeed her, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
"I didn’t have the surgery." Lou Xi paused for a second before responding to Qin Mobai, "But you..." don’t seem well.
She was somewhat shocked; even after being with Qin Mobai for some time now, it was her first time seeing him so furious.
To Lou Xi, this was an unfamiliar Qin Mobai.
Qin Mobai forcefully suppressed his anger, "It’s nothing, let’s go back to the room."
Qin Mobai pulled Lou Xi to leave, when another person came out from the study.
Qin Ruiqian.
Lou Xi had seen him in the Qin Family’s group photo; despite being over fifty, he showed no signs of aging one would expect for that age, instead, he was energetic and charming.
Just like the kind many young girls nowadays would call... the "uncle" type.
"You’re Lou Xi?" Qin Ruiqian emerged from the study, looking at Lou Xi as if inspecting a junior.
"Hello." Lou Xi responded.
"Hello, I am Mo Bai’s father," Qin Ruiqian said.
"Then you won’t be for much longer," Qin Mobai stated coldly. If Qin Ruiqian insisted on being with Lou Nan, then Qin Mobai was determined to sever their father-son relationship.
Anyway, all these years he hadn’t fulfilled a father’s responsibilities.
"Qin Mobai, it seems I must remind you, I am your father!" Qin Ruiqian said solemnly.
Yet, Qin Mobai remained indifferent.
"Lou Xi, let’s go back to the room," Qin Mobai didn’t want Lou Xi to witness this sordid spectacle.
Unexpectedly, Lou Nan came upstairs.
