Chapter 485 - 486: Nothing is more satisfying than defeating a love rival
Lou Xi watched as Qin Mobai came out of the main house, looking as pleased as if he’d won a great victory.
He got into the car, started his black Range Rover with a cheerful mood, and even hummed a tune on the road.
You couldn’t tell at all that this man was feeling down yesterday.
"What makes you so happy?" Lou Xi couldn’t help but ask.
"Defeating a romantic rival, nothing makes me happier than this." A dignified president of a listed company, despite owning millions, told Lou Xi defeating a romantic rival made him very happy.
Wait a moment...
"Romantic rival? Are you referring to Xi Siwei?" Lou Xi asked, wasn’t it just Qin Mobai and Xi Siwei talking earlier? What other romantic rival could it be?
"Yes."
"How could he possibly like me? You’re really overthinking things." Lou Xi chuckled a bit.
"I feel like every man in the world will compete with me for you." When you’re in love, you have this feeling that everyone else is the enemy.
"If you think I’m attractive enough to entice every man in the world, I won’t deny your perception."
Lou Xi was quite the cheeky one, seizing an advantage and still complaining, taking advantage of even the smallest opportunity.
Just as Qin Mobai was driving, Bai Lu’s call came in.
Lou Xi listened to Bai Lu for a few words, then hung up the phone.
"Young Master Qin, I probably won’t be able to go to the company with you."
Qin Mobai raised his eyebrows, guessing it was Bai Lu’s matter, but was a bit reluctant to let Lou Xi leave, as he never seemed to get enough of seeing her every day.
Seeing that Qin Mobai didn’t speak, Lou Xi continued, "Today is Lu Li’s grandmother’s birthday, Lu Li said he’d take Bai Lu back and she has to prepare a gift, asking me for some advice."
Ah, so that’s the case.
Qin Mobai actually didn’t object, he wasn’t that unreasonable.
"What gift did we prepare for Grandma Lu?" Lou Xi turned her head, seriously looking at Qin Mobai, asking.
Qin Mobai couldn’t handle Lou Xi looking at him with her pure and straightforward gaze, it always made his heart flutter.
He placed his hand on Lou Xi’s head, forcing her to turn away, not letting her keep looking at him.
"Grandma Lu used to be a Qimen tea artist, with high accomplishments in tea art, when it comes to gifts, cater to her interests." Qin Mobai didn’t say what he prepared, instead he told Lou Xi Grandma Lu’s preferences, mainly to help Lou Xi and, incidentally, Bai Lu.
It’s always good to please the elderly, making Bai Lu and Lu Li’s matters go a bit smoother.
"Thank you, Mo Bai, you’re the best!"
"Knowing I’m good, how do you plan to repay me, hmm?" Qin Mobai asked with a deeper meaning.
"I’ve offered myself to you, what more do you want me to do to repay you?"
Qin Mobai nodded nonchalantly, she was already his, how else could she repay?
"By the way, is this jade bracelet very valuable? What if I scratch it or something?" Lou Xi was still tense with the jade bracelet on her hand.
"It was part of Grandma’s dowry, though her family’s fortune declined, they still had some wealth. This jade bracelet..." Qin Mobai glanced at the bracelet, "It’s worth over a billion."
"Over a billion?" Lou Xi’s eyes widened, so she’s wearing a bracelet worth over a billion on her hand? "What if someone snatches it?"
"A robber wouldn’t believe you’d wear a bracelet worth over a billion, don’t worry." Qin Mobai reassured.
Somehow, what he said seemed perfectly reasonable!
