Chapter 598 - 579: Want to Talk to Lou Xi Alone
Qin Mobai hadn’t been gone long before Lu Li and Bai Lu arrived, saying Qin Mobai had sent him to take Lou Xi home.
Right now, Qin Mobai trusts few people, and Lu Li is one of them.
The old lady initially wanted to stay here and wait for the old man to wake up, but given her age, Lou Xi was worried she might have issues staying, especially with Qin Ruiqian here, they all persuaded the old lady to head home first.
Finally, the old lady went home with Lou Xi to the Qin Family.
The old lady lacked her usual lively spirit and quietly returned to her room upon arriving home.
Bai Lu and Lou Xi walked towards Qin Mobai’s villa together, she said she’d stay the night with her, while Lu Li left first.
Compared to before, Lou Xi has become much quieter now, which Bai Lu found a bit unusual.
She was holding a Lotus that had been divided earlier at the botanical garden, "Lu Lu, do you think I’m not really suited for life in this circle?"
"What does suitability matter? You’re marrying Young Master Qin, not marrying this circle." Bai Lu always finds a way to advise Lou Xi.
Moreover, her words did make some sense.
"Mo Bai went to deal with the workers’ strike, I don’t know why, but I’m really worried about him." The worry was evident on Lou Xi’s face, it was a tangled anxiety that made her uneasy.
"You’re overthinking, just relax a bit."
"I also hope I’m just overthinking."
As the two walked towards the villa, suddenly a figure emerged, causing Lou Xi’s heart to skip.
In the Qin Family villa at night, only dim streetlights were on, so when a figure suddenly appeared, it really startled them.
"Sister-in-law." The person spoke, voice low.
Lou Xi recognized the voice of this person, her brows slightly furrowed, why did he suddenly pop up?
"Is Grandpa okay?"
"If you want to know, go visit him at the hospital yourself, why ask me?" Lou Xi replied indifferently to Xi Siwei.
Since Xi Siwei is Shen Ruozhuo’s fiancé and Xi Siwei’s relationship with Qin Mobai isn’t good, Lou Xi didn’t have a favorable impression of Xi Siwei, always feeling he had ulterior motives.
"I have things to do this afternoon, couldn’t make it to the hospital, just happened to run into you." His explanation was quite adequate.
Bai Lu stood nearby, unable to join their conversation, but she tightened her grip on Lou Xi’s hand, not having a great impression of Xi Siwei either.
"Grandpa hasn’t woken up yet, Dad’s watching over him. Don’t use work as an excuse, everyone was there except you when Grandpa had surgery." Under the lamplight, Lou Xi looked at Xi Siwei’s indistinct expression, she seemed to perceive a hint of uncertainty in his gaze.
"Miss Bai, could I have a few minutes alone to chat with Lou Xi?" Xi Siwei finally spoke up, wanting to talk to Lou Xi alone.
"I wouldn’t dare let Xixi chat alone with you, who knows what you might do to her?" Bai Lu certainly disagreed, after all, she felt he was cut from the same cloth as Shen Ruozhuo.
"It’s fine, I’ll chat with him for a bit." Lou Xi patted Bai Lu’s hand, "You go wait for me up ahead!"
Bai Lu wanted to say more, but Lou Xi’s intention was clear, she did want to talk to Xi Siwei.
Even though Bai Lu was worried, she didn’t want to interfere in Lou Xi’s personal matters.
"I’ll be just up ahead, if anything happens just call me, I’ll come right over."
"Alright."
Seeing how distrustful Lou Xi was of him, Xi Siwei only felt his heart block up, very uncomfortable.
