Chapter 487 - 488: What, are you afraid I embarrassed you?
Lou Xi told Bai Lu about the things Qin Mobai previously told her regarding Lu Li’s grandmother being a Qimen tea artist.
Bai Lu finally chose a set of blue-and-white porcelain tea set, spending most of her earnings from translations, intending to leave a good impression on the old lady.
When you genuinely start to like someone, you unconsciously try to please the people around them.
Like how Qin Mobai previously helped Bai Lu’s mother with medical expenses on Lou Xi’s behalf, and also had Lu Li find the best doctor to treat her mother.
It’s because of this incident that Bai Lu and Lu Li got acquainted.
And Lu Li also cares more about Bai Lu’s matters because Lou Xi is Bai Lu’s good friend and Qin Mobai’s wife.
To put it in an ancient phrase, it’s "love for the house extends even to the crows on its roof."
After choosing the gift, Bai Lu and Lou Xi returned to school for classes together.
Lou Xi once again experienced the feeling of being a person of public interest.
Because almost everyone in Nancheng knew about her previous grand wedding with Qin Mobai, how could these gossip-loving students miss it?
Even though Lou Xi disappeared from Nancheng for nearly a month after the wedding, this didn’t stop the stir she caused upon returning to Nan University.
The discussions about Lou Xi generally revolved around her marrying into a wealthy family and rising to the top.
Or successfully charming a diamond bachelor, transforming from a sparrow to a phoenix.
Lou Xi, abiding by the principle that mouths are on other people’s faces and she can’t control what they say, completely ignored the rumors.
After all, the more she argued, the more excited those people became.
But when Lou Xi said nothing, those people lost interest and stopped discussing.
However, Bai Lu was somewhat indignant for Lou Xi, wanting to tell those people that Lou Xi was also born into a wealthy family!
Her mother is the distinguished socialite Shen Youran, her stepfather is the chairman of Emirates Palace, one of the world’s most luxurious hotels!
But Lou Xi held Bai Lu back, unwilling to argue further, as Lou Xi had previously told Shen Youran that she temporarily didn’t want to reveal she is Shen Youran’s daughter.
She would disclose it when the time was right.
Seeing Lou Xi already had plans to forgive her, Shen Youran didn’t dare pressure her anymore.
During the afternoon classes, wherever Lou Xi went, she was surrounded by onlookers.
Finally, as class ended, Bai Lu said she had something to attend to and would leave for a while, and Lu Li would pick her up.
Lou Xi then waited at the door for the driver to pick her up.
But the person who came wasn’t the driver; it was Qin Mobai’s black Land Rover.
Back when Qin Mobai was attending classes at the university, he drove this car, so it wasn’t unfamiliar to Nan University students.
Seeing that it was Qin Mobai coming to pick her up, Lou Xi looked around and found herself being stared at again.
She quickly ran up to Qin Mobai’s car.
"Drive, drive quickly!" She didn’t want to continue being watched.
Seeing Lou Xi in such a hurry, Qin Mobai, on the contrary, wasn’t rushed at all.
"Put on your seatbelt."
Lou Xi didn’t move, so Qin Mobai leaned over and helped her fasten the seatbelt.
The students who were initially standing and watching at the school gate felt it was not just a display of affection but a real heartbreaker.
Can’t he be a little kinder to single people?
"Drive quickly!" Lou Xi looked at the classmates staring outside the car, feeling exhausted.
Instead of driving, Qin Mobai gazed affectionately at Lou Xi, "What, are you embarrassed by me?"
Likely, the proud Qin Mobai just wanted everyone to know he is Lou Xi’s husband, and Lou Xi is his wife.
Ideally, living a life that broke the hearts of singles every day!
"So many people are watching, let’s leave quickly!"
"From now on, you need to learn how to live with constant attention."
"Like a celebrity?"
"Even more high-end than a celebrity." Qin Mobai prepared Lou Xi for what was to come.
