Chapter 506 - 507: Why didn’t you come back the entire night?
A strong, powerful arm pulled Lou Xi back from the edge of falling.
Lou Xi crashed into a familiar and warm embrace, the scent of tobacco and alcohol from the man wafting to Lou Xi’s nose.
He not only drank but also smoked.
"What are you making a fuss about!" Qin Mobai steadied Lou Xi and said sharply to Qin Moxi, "What if your sister-in-law fell and got hurt!"
Qin Moxi had not expected she exerted so much force just now, and upon seeing Lou Xi about to fall, she was completely dazed.
But after the tension, being yelled at by Qin Mobai brought a surge of grievance and sadness.
"Brother, you yelled at me..." Qin Moxi, who had never been yelled at by Qin Mobai, said in a delicate voice, "You all side with Lou Nan! Humph! I’m not talking to you anymore!"
With that, Qin Moxi ran off in a huff.
The husky barked a few times, realized its owner had run off, let out another bark, and hurriedly chased after its owner.
Lou Xi regained her balance, watched Qin Moxi run away, then turned to Qin Mobai, "Why did you speak to Mo Xi so harshly? She’s still a child!"
"What if you had fallen? You now—" Qin Mobai stopped mid-sentence; he didn’t want many people to know about Lou Xi’s pregnancy, including Lou Nan.
"Didn’t you arrive just in time?" Lou Xi said, "Let’s go and apologize to Mo Xi later together, she doesn’t hold grudges, this matter will pass quickly."
"How can a brother apologize to his sister?" Qin Mobai clearly disagreed with Lou Xi’s approach.
"Please!"
"...Alright." Unable to resist Lou Xi, Qin Mobai had to agree.
The intimacy between them appeared striking to Lou Nan, who was watching from the side.
Finally, the two seemed to realize Lou Nan was still there.
Qin Mobai turned around, looking at Lou Nan who hadn’t left, "I’m not touching you now for Lou Xi’s sake. You better behave, otherwise, let’s see if Qin Ruiqian can protect you!"
Regarding the previous conflict, Qin Mobai didn’t know the ins and outs.
But he understood Qin Moxi; she wouldn’t stir up trouble without reason. If it weren’t for Lou Nan deliberately provoking Qin Moxi, this farce wouldn’t have played out.
Facing Qin Mobai’s accusations, Lou Nan looked quite innocent, her eyes slightly reddened, as if Qin Mobai bullied her.
However, outside of the pitiful appearance of Lou Xi, any other woman’s feigned weakness appeared contrived to Qin Mobai.
"Sister..." Lou Nan softly called out to Lou Xi.
Regarding the matter between Lou Nan and Qin Ruiqian, Lou Xi felt a proper time should be found to have a good talk with Lou Nan.
If Lou Nan was willing to withdraw voluntarily, that would be for the best.
If she were unwilling...
Given Lou Nan’s character, Lou Xi thought she wouldn’t withdraw voluntarily.
"Lou Nan, don’t stir up trouble. If you continue, I won’t be able to protect you." Lou Xi said solemnly.
She wasn’t a saint; if anyone threatened her marriage, she would strike back proactively, not allow herself to be manipulated like a pushover.
Seeing that the ploy didn’t work in front of Lou Xi, Lou Nan shrugged, called out to her shepherd dog, and left.
Lou Xi could see, Qin Mobai was quite bothered by Lou Nan’s presence, otherwise the veins on his forehead wouldn’t be pulsing.
"I’m sorry, the matter with Lou Nan made you upset." Lou Xi held Qin Mobai’s hand, apologizing to him on Lou Nan’s behalf.
Finally, Qin Mobai turned his attention away from Lou Nan’s departing figure.
"It’s alright, you are you, she is she, you don’t need to apologize for the things caused by immature people." Those people wouldn’t be able to bounce back for long.
"Where did you go tonight, why didn’t you come back the whole night?" Lou Xi asked Qin Mobai.
