Chapter 483 - 484: Lou Xi will definitely be his
Lou Xi’s ears turned red; she couldn’t withstand Qin Mobai’s teasing, especially in public.
She quickly stepped back a bit, distancing herself from this dangerous man.
Qin Mobai looked at Lou Xi’s somewhat flustered expression and smiled faintly.
By the time Lou Xi came to her senses, she realized that the Jade Bracelet had already been put on her hand by the old lady.
She wanted to take it off, but was met with a stern gaze from the old lady, so she gave up the idea of removing it and decided to let it stay on.
Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling that it wasn’t a Jade Bracelet on her wrist but a mountain of gold, perhaps because she thought it might be very expensive...
Lou Xi glanced over at Qin Mobai, wanting to ask for his opinion.
Qin Mobai sat calmly in his seat, showing no surprise or reaction to the old lady giving her a bracelet.
As if nothing more than an ordinary event had occurred.
"Let’s eat!"
Once things had settled down, Qin Sheng spoke, and the previously lively dining room quickly quieted.
This was the authority of the head of the household.
After Qin Sheng spoke, everyone started to eat breakfast.
Only then did Lou Xi carefully look at the breakfast on the table.
The food was exquisitely presented, with ingredients like caviar and foie gras that many might not even have for dinner.
There was a variety of Western foods like bacon, ham, and bread, as well as Chinese dishes like congee and seafood porridge, soy milk, and fried dough sticks...
Everything was there!
Lou Xi felt that what she used to eat might have been fake breakfast.
Facing so much food, Lou Xi wasn’t sure where to start.
Qin Mobai poured a cup of soy milk for Lou Xi and placed a char siu bun on her plate — all of Lou Xi’s favorite Chinese breakfast foods.
Fearing she might get tired of it, he also poured her a glass of juice, serving her the whole time.
Envying others around them.
Lou Xi thanked Qin Mobai.
Qin Mobai nodded slightly in response.
This scene fell into the eyes of Xi Siwei, who was sitting opposite them.
He cut the ham in front of him with indifference, but suddenly felt it tasteless and switched to picking up a char siu bun.
While Lou Xi was eating the char siu bun, Xi Siwei also brought a bun to his mouth and took a bite; it seemed to taste better than he’d imagined.
Someday, whether it’s the Qin Family or Lou Xi, they will surely belong to him.
Now, it’s merely a transitional phase!
...
Perhaps Lou Xi usually had a good appetite, so she hadn’t experienced morning sickness since becoming pregnant, and there was no sign of her being pregnant.
Before heading to the dining room, Qin Mobai had told Lou Xi that during the first three months of pregnancy, things were sensitive, and they would wait until they were certain to tell the elders.
Lou Xi also feared any unexpected events, so she decided to keep it secret from Qin Sheng and the old lady until it was stable.
Fortunately, with no morning sickness, it was easy to conceal her pregnancy.
Before breakfast was over, Qin Moxi checked the time, grabbed a piece of bread, and went to school with her backpack.
The rest of the Qin Family members who had almost finished eating left for work, while the women of the house, who didn’t need to work, ate slowly.
Qin Mobai, Lou Xi, and Xi Siwei stayed until the last.
Since Qin Sheng mentioned changing the successor earlier, the younger generation had begun to take action; Qin Sheng hadn’t intervened or mediated, allowing things to proceed as they were.
After finishing breakfast, Qin Sheng put down his napkin, looked deeply at Qin Mobai and Xi Siwei, and then left the dining room with the old lady.
The only ones left in the dining room were Qin Mobai, Lou Xi, and Xi Siwei.
