Chapter 525 - 526: Seeking Qin Mobai as a Backer
Lou Xi learned from Bai Lu that her breakup with Lu Li seemed to be a mutual decision, spoken simultaneously.
After Grandma Lu’s birthday party, the two of them didn’t talk as much as before, and Lu Li wasn’t calling her every few hours like he used to.
When Bai Lu felt there was a change, it really had all changed.
Bai Lu suggested they take some time apart to cool down, and Lu Li agreed.
When a woman says "take time apart to cool down," it means a breakup; when a man says "okay," it means he’s agreeing to the breakup.
So, Bai Lu felt she had broken up with Lu Li and bought bird feed at People’s Square to mourn with the pigeons.
"I’m sorry, I knew you were pregnant, yet I let you come out with me." After calming down, Bai Lu and Lou Xi sat on a bench in the square, watching a flock of white pigeons.
"Even being pregnant, we’re still good friends! Back then you followed Lu Li..." Lou Xi remembered not to mention Lu Li but inadvertently said his name, "You even went to Seychelles to find me, crying so terribly. How could I not come to see you?"
"You know, coming to study in Nancheng, the greatest gain was meeting you as a good friend."
"Me too!" Lou Xi held Bai Lu’s hand, feeling a distinct peace in her heart.
"You’ve gained even more, you have a husband, a child, I envy you!" The envy in Bai Lu’s eyes wasn’t fake; she hoped for the same luck as Lou Xi.
But unfortunately, her luck never seemed good.
"You will also have your prince appear and live like an immortal couple." Lou Xi believed Bai Lu would definitely find happiness, but then she suddenly thought of a question, "You and Lu Li didn’t...?"
"No, no!" Bai Lu understood what Lou Xi wanted to ask and immediately denied it, "He said he’d wait till after marriage to have me, he always held back."
Only now did Bai Lu realize that Lu Li wasn’t holding back, he was unsure of being together in the future and feared responsibility, so he preferred to handle it himself than touch her.
"That’s good, if he had touched you, I’d have castrated him!"
"Seems like you’ve been with Young Master Qin for too long and have become fierce and violent!"
"I haven’t, I’m clearly a kind little fairy!"
...
At the magazine office, a reporter with a long-lens camera sneaked into the chief editor’s office and locked the door.
"Chief, guess what I’ve captured! Jin Family CEO Jin Xunyang and the Qin Family’s new Young Madam having a secret meeting in a coffee shop! Do you think there’s an affair?" The male reporter’s face was full of excitement, thinking his performance this month would soar.
The chief editor’s eyes twitched, "Show me."
The reporter showed the camera to the chief editor.
The chief editor recognized the two people in the image and his brows furrowed.
"You’ve got a lot of nerve; did you know another magazine took photos of Qin Mobai and was acquired before they could publish them, not leaving even a complete corpse? Do you want our magazine to end up the same? I’m confiscating your camera; you don’t have any backups, do you?"
The reporter received a scolding and immediately smiled apologetically, "No backups."
"Get out, now!"
The reporter was scolded out of the office, appearing to accept humbly as he closed the door, though he still had a USB in his pocket containing a backup; if the chief didn’t want it, he’d find a good buyer!
In the office, the chief editor had a wicked smile, thinking these photos could not only sell for a good price but also secure connections with Qin Mobai or Jin Xunyang!
