Chapter 668 - 649: Lou Xi is his weak spot, he easily becomes passive
Nancheng, Lu Li received a WeChat message from Qin Mobai and hurriedly got up from bed.
Beside him, Bai Lu awoke, sleepily looked at Lu Li, and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Lu Li, while searching for a number on his phone, said to Bai Lu, "Sis-in-law was taken away by Xi Siwei in the Capital. Just now, Mo Bai sent me a WeChat message..."
"Qin Mobai? Young Master Qin?" Bai Lu woke up completely. Qin Mobai had supposedly died; how could he still send WeChat messages to Lu Li?
Bai Lu thought about Lu Li’s state these past few days, from the news of Qin Mobai’s "death" until now. It seemed Lu Li hadn’t been very sad.
It turns out it’s not that Lu Li wasn’t sad, but Qin Mobai is actually fine!
Realizing he had slipped up, Lu Li scratched his head and turned to Bai Lu, saying, "Initially, the fewer people who know about this, the better. Every additional person who knows adds a layer of danger for Mo Bai. I hope you understand."
Lu Li had shed his usual playful demeanor; such a serious Lu Li was rarely seen.
"So what’s happening now? How could Xixi be taken by Xi Siwei’s people?" Bai Lu asked, worried about Lou Xi.
"Mo Bai didn’t explain too clearly. I’m finding someone to search for Sis-in-law. I don’t know what Xi Siwei intends to do!"
As they spoke, Lu Li’s phone was connected.
Bai Lu watched Lu Li pacing in the room, intermittently negotiating with the person on the other end of the line.
After a moment, Lu Li ended the call, turned to Bai Lu, who looked concerned, "I’ve already found someone to help; don’t worry, Sis-in-law will be alright."
Bai Lu got up from bed, walked to Lu Li’s side, and gently leaned into his embrace.
"Why can’t Xixi and Young Master Qin be together despite all these hardships? Now they even have to resort to faking death to take drastic measures. They’re really having a tough time."
Lu Li gently stroked Bai Lu’s back, "Good things come to those who wait. Besides, Mo Bai is in that position, and too many people want him down. Sis-in-law is his weakness, making him easily vulnerable."
Hearing this, Bai Lu burrowed further into Lu Li’s embrace, feeling a sense of unease.
"Don’t worry, I won’t let you go through all this. I don’t have the burden of an heir, nor anyone plotting against me. I promised to give you a happy and fulfilling life, and I intend to keep my word."
"I don’t want a love full of ups and downs; I just want to grow old with you."
"You will." Lu Li wasn’t sure if he was reassuring Bai Lu or affirming his own uncertainties.
He wanted to grow old with Bai Lu, but could someone known for his short-lived passions genuinely commit?
He didn’t know; he’d take it one step at a time!
...
Fu Sinian took a plane overnight from Nancheng to the Capital.
His purpose for returning to the Capital was clear: to bring Qin Moxi back to Nancheng. Fortunately, Qin Moxi happened to be in the Capital; otherwise, Fu Sinian wouldn’t even have a reason to return to the Capital.
He knocked on the hotel room door of Qin Moxi, also known as Lou Xi.
After a while, Qin Moxi came to open the door, looking at Fu Sinian standing at the door with bleary eyes, having not yet fully awakened.
Qin Moxi thought she was dreaming; why was this man here in the Capital?
"You... You how..."
"Lou Xi," Fu Sinian glanced inside the room, "Did she tell you where she went?"
Qin Moxi rubbed her head, looked back, "Sis isn’t in the room?"
"You!" Fu Sinian didn’t know what to say to Qin Moxi, "Go back and continue sleeping!"
