Chapter 597 - 578 Farewell
After Qin Mobai hung up the phone, he returned to the intensive care unit, seeing Lou Xi comforting the elderly lady.
Actually, Lou Xi had just recovered herself, yet she had to endure the pain in her heart to comfort the elderly lady; it was tough for her.
It seemed she sensed Qin Mobai’s presence, and when Lou Xi looked up, her gaze met his in the air.
Having been together for a long time, just one look from Qin Mobai, Lou Xi knew something was on his mind.
Sister Yun watched over the elderly lady, and Lou Xi quietly left, pulling Qin Mobai away with her.
"What’s wrong? Is there an emergency?" Lou Xi asked, looking at Qin Mobai’s slightly furrowed brow with concern.
"The earlier issue with the workers’ strike, the person in charge over there couldn’t handle it. I have to go over immediately." Qin Mobai rested a single hand on Lou Xi’s somewhat haggard face, "Sinian is returning from the Capital. With him around, nothing major will happen here. I trust him with the company’s matters."
The only thing he couldn’t trust was the person right in front of him.
Once you have a beloved and get married, even the strongest man has a weakness.
Qin Mobai gently embraced Lou Xi, filled with reluctance and worry, "I want to take you with me." But it’s too dangerous over there, and Qin Mobai doesn’t know what might happen. Bringing Lou Xi would add to the risk.
"I will take good care of myself. I’m not a child anymore. Don’t worry about me; handle the factory matters well. I’ll wait for you to come back." Lou Xi patted Qin Mobai’s back, just like how he usually comforted her emotions.
"When I’m not around, if there’s anything, you must call me. Even if I can’t come back immediately, I’ll have someone help you, remember?"
"I remember."
"For the next few days, just stay home and rest. Don’t go to school, alright?"
"Okay, I’ll listen to you."
At this moment, Lou Xi was exceptionally obedient, possibly worried that Qin Mobai would be concerned about her, so she acted well-behaved and sensible.
She mustn’t become Qin Mobai’s worry!
"You need to pay attention to safety outside; the workers’ strike is very dangerous. Stay away from them."
"Alright."
Now, it was Lou Xi’s turn to remind Qin Mobai.
"Smoke less, it’s bad for your health. Don’t stay up late; your health is important."
"I know."
Qin Mobai released Lou Xi, looking at the well-behaved and sensible girl in front of him. At times like this, he should stay by her side without leaving.
He lowered his head and kissed Lou Xi on the lips, entirely without any lust, tender and lingering, filled with reluctance to part.
After a long while, Qin Mobai slowly retreated from her lips, forehead resting on hers.
Their breaths were somewhat heavy.
Neither of them was suited for such scenes of parting, making it particularly sad.
But it’s not like they wouldn’t see each other again; why was it so hard to part?
"Later, go back with Grandma. I’ll have someone watch over the hospital, okay?"
"I understand." Lou Xi nodded.
Out of the corner of his eye, Qin Mobai glanced at his watch; the time was almost up, the helicopter should be here, and he had to rush over nonstop.
He rubbed the back of her neck, "Be good, wait for me to come back."
"Okay." For some reason, Lou Xi always felt uneasy as if once Qin Mobai left this time, she’d never see him again.
But no matter how reluctant she was, the tightly held hand had to be let go. Lou Xi watched Qin Mobai leave, and suddenly, tears fell from her eyes.
