Chapter 692 - 673: This Man Is a Jar of Jealousy
Lou Xi and the old lady chatted for a long time, later putting the call on speaker so Qin Mobai could listen from the side.
She looked at Qin Mobai’s serious expression, probably wishing this situation would end soon. Whether it was him, Lou Xi, the old lady, or others who care about him, they could all move on from the grief of losing him.
Eventually, Lou Xi calmed the old lady and told her she’d return to Nancheng in a few days, reassuring her not to worry.
After hanging up the phone, Lou Xi leaned on Qin Mobai’s lap, feeling a bit heavy-hearted.
Qin Mobai caressed Lou Xi’s cheek tenderly and said, "Grandma mentioned that she wouldn’t restrict your freedom."
Not restricting Lou Xi’s freedom means she could leave the Qin Family and find new happiness elsewhere.
It seemed the old lady was understanding, thinking Lou Xi was still young. Having lost her husband so young, finding new love wouldn’t be wrong.
Lou Xi quickly skipped over this topic at the time, wasn’t it because Qin Mobai was listening after all? If Lou Xi had picked up on the old lady’s subject, this man would have gotten jealous.
After all, this man is a jar of jealousy!
"In the afternoon, after identifying the culprit at the police station, I ran into Ji Nanming, who originally said he’d visit you." Lou Xi said calmly.
Qin Mobai remained silent, knowing Lou Xi hadn’t finished speaking.
"But halfway he got a phone call from Xu Haitang’s family, apparently something happened with the Xu Family, so Ji Nanming went there. Oh right, Xu Haitang was Ji Nanming’s fiancée, they were about to get married, but Xu Haitang was diagnosed with cancer and later passed away."
Qin Mobai raised an eyebrow, unsure what Lou Xi wanted to express through this story.
"Xu Haitang passed away four or five years ago, but Ji Nanming has been supporting the Xu Family and hasn’t found a new girlfriend all these years. If it were me, I wouldn’t either." After saying so much, Lou Xi just wanted to convey one thing —
Even if Qin Mobai died, and even if the Qin Family thought she could find new happiness, she would remain loyal to her love with Qin Mobai, growing old alone.
Of course, Qin Mobai understood what Lou Xi wanted to express. They had talked about this topic more than once, and Lou Xi had repeatedly proven her unwavering loyalty to Qin Mobai.
"How do you know Ji Nanming hasn’t found a girlfriend because he hasn’t met someone who moves him yet? Once he meets someone who moves him, he may forget who Xu Haitang even was."
Qin Mobai casually ruined the innocent sentiment with this one-liner.
"What if I die? Would you live alone, or find another woman to live with?" Lou Xi looked up, asking Qin Mobai this profound question.
Qin Mobai raised an eyebrow and smiled, "This hypothetical doesn’t exist."
"Hmm?"
"Because you must live a long life, growing old together with me."
Qin Mobai’s answer warmed Lou Xi’s heart; there’s no one in this world better at sweet-talking than Qin Mobai.
She quietly rested her head on Qin Mobai’s lap.
Only to hear Qin Mobai continue, "The separation of life and death, once in a lifetime is enough."
Qin Mobai’s words were etched deeply into Lou Xi’s heart, "We’ve already experienced it once, so we won’t have to go through it again!"
"The lady is always right!"
Lou Xi smiled sweetly.
"The doctor just mentioned I’m recovering better than expected and can attend the banquet in two days."
Lou Xi had never looked forward to a banquet two days later like she did now!
