Chapter 495 - 496: Lou Xi is Locked in the Bathroom
"Looking at other men right in front of me." Xi Siwei whispered into Shen Ruozhuo’s ear, his tone full of mockery.
"Aren’t you looking at other women right in front of me too? Only the officials are allowed to set fires, and the commoners can’t even light a lamp?" Shen Ruozhuo replied coolly.
Their whispered conversation seemed like a private exchange between the closest of couples to outsiders, who couldn’t imagine their dialogue was so explosive.
Xi Siwei didn’t hide from Shen Ruozhuo his feelings for Lou Xi, and he certainly knew that Shen Ruozhuo liked Qin Mobai.
They were exposing each other’s secrets, seemingly in love and at war... Bah, there was no love, only war!
"If you dare to look at Qin Mobai one more time."
After speaking, Shen Ruozhuo got up from the sofa and went straight to the bathroom.
On the surface, Xi Siwei maintained an elegant and noble smile, but inside he was furious.
Even Shen Ruozhuo dared to mock him, laugh at him for not being able to compare to Qin Mobai, whether in status.
...
Lou Xi came out of the cubicle and saw Shen Ruozhuo standing by the sink, looking at Lou Xi with cold eyes.
There was no one else in the bathroom, possibly cleared out by Shen Ruozhuo.
Lou Xi noticed Shen Ruozhuo’s hostile gaze but didn’t particularly care.
Only those who are not strong enough themselves would envy everything others have.
Lou Xi walked over to the sink and quietly washed her hands.
"Feeling particularly triumphant now, aren’t you, Lou Xi?" Shen Ruozhuo spoke, her voice filled with coldness.
Lou Xi quietly finished washing her hands, took the tissue from the side, dried her hands, and only then discarded the tissue.
"I’m not triumphant, this is what I deserve." Lou Xi was not shorter than Shen Ruozhuo, and she was even wearing flat shoes, not losing any presence to Shen Ruozhuo.
Lou Xi’s calm expression made Shen Ruozhuo increasingly angry.
"What do you mean by what you deserve? You’ve taken my place as Mrs. Qin, and now you want to take away my status as the Shen Family’s eldest daughter! We have no past grudges nor past rivalries, what exactly do you want?"
Lou Xi was stunned for a moment, did Shen Ruozhuo know she was from the Shen Family?
She quickly contemplated and spoke: "I have no interest in being the Shen Family’s eldest daughter and won’t compete with you for that title. My marriage to Mo Bai is an unchangeable fact, and you’re going to marry Xi Siwei. Each of us living our own lives, isn’t that good? Why get entangled together?"
"Because you stole what belongs to me!"
Lou Xi felt she might not be able to explain this to Shen Ruozhuo, so she simply gave up trying.
"Fine, take whatever issue you have out on me, don’t go targeting my friends! If you dare touch her, not only Mrs. Qin as a title, but even the Shen Family’s eldest daughter as a title, I can still take them both away from you!"
"Then try it!" Shen Ruozhuo wasn’t afraid of Lou Xi’s threats. After speaking, she turned around and left the bathroom, then locked the door from the outside!
Lou Xi realized what Shen Ruozhuo had done and tried to open the door, but couldn’t get it open!
Shen Ruozhuo even placed an "Under Repair" sign in the hallway, so no one would go there.
After doing all this, Shen Ruozhuo finally left.
But just two steps out, she was pulled into the nearby room by a Black Shadow!
