Chapter 499 - 500: You Shouldn’t Think of Giving Birth to This Child
Hearing Xi Siwei’s words, Qin Mobai showed not the slightest emotional fluctuation.
He held Lou Xi’s hand and did not spare a glance at Shen Ruozhuo.
"We’ve been married for a long time, and we don’t play such thrilling games," Qin Mobai said calmly, "Besides, the lady is pregnant, she needs to take care of the baby."
Lou Xi didn’t expect Qin Mobai to suddenly mention to Xi Siwei that she was pregnant. After all, besides the two of them, only Shen Youran, Ji Mushen, and Bai Lu knew about it.
Ji Mushen and Shen Ruozhuo looked surprised when they heard this.
Pregnant?
Lou Xi is pregnant?
How could she be pregnant, how could she be carrying Qin Mobai’s child!
Qin Mobai observed Xi Siwei’s expression, knowing that Xi Siwei liked Lou Xi, so hearing about her pregnancy made him so shocked, angry, and incredulous.
Yet, it was Qin Mobai who held Lou Xi’s hand.
It was also Qin Mobai who made Lou Xi pregnant.
It had nothing to do with Xi Siwei.
"What kind of expression is that, cousin? Aren’t you happy for the lady and me? You’re about to become an uncle." Qin Mobai was deliberately provoking Xi Siwei.
Xi Siwei gradually withdrew his expression, and when he looked at Qin Mobai again, his face was full of indifferent calm.
"Congratulations, of course, congratulations to cousin for having a child so soon!" Xi Siwei smiled in a way that didn’t reach his eyes, "I hope the little nephew is born safely."
"What do you mean?" Lou Xi glared at Xi Siwei, hearing a curse hidden in his words.
It seemed as if he wished her child wouldn’t be born safely.
"Sister-in-law, don’t get excited, I’m just congratulating you," Xi Siwei said, displeased by the protective look on Lou Xi’s face.
Seeing Lou Xi upset, Qin Mobai also didn’t want to stay there for another moment.
As they left, Qin Mobai said to Xi Siwei, "Cousin, some things aren’t yours to touch. Otherwise, it won’t end well."
"I will remember cousin’s advice."
Indeed, they were all putting on an act, appearing amicable on the surface while internally, who knows how many battles they had fought.
After Qin Mobai finished speaking, he left with Lou Xi.
For some reason, Lou Xi felt very tense inside.
"Mobai, what did Xi Siwei mean by what he said earlier?" Lou Xi, possibly because she was about to become a mother, was more concerned about her child than anything else.
Qin Mobai turned to look at Lou Xi, his deep gaze calming her down instantly.
"No matter what he meant, if he dares to harm a hair on your head, I’ll wipe out his family."
Hearing Qin Mobai’s words, Lou Xi burst into laughter.
"Is it that funny?"
"But you’re part of Xi Siwei’s family too; he’s your cousin." Lou Xi found Qin Mobai, who was so fiercely protective of her, adorably sweet.
"..." Qin Mobai was utterly defeated by Lou Xi’s reasoning.
...
Watching the backs of Lou Xi and Qin Mobai, Xi Siwei clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could pull Lou Xi away from Qin Mobai.
But he couldn’t.
Shen Ruozhuo, seeing the anger on Xi Siwei’s face, felt something tug painfully at her heart.
She said with a mocking smile, "Mr. Xi should be glad to be a dad in the future!"
Xi Siwei shot Shen Ruozhuo a glare, his cold, fierce look making Shen Ruozhuo shut her mouth.
He said nothing else and left angrily, leaving Shen Ruozhuo there alone.
Seeing Xi Siwei leave, Shen Ruozhuo’s smile slowly faded.
Lou Xi, don’t even think about giving birth to this child!
