Chapter 730 - 711: Married to an Experienced Man
The car stopped at the parking lot of Half Mountain Manor. After Qin Mobai got out, he opened the car door for Lou Xi, who was just about to walk inside when she saw Qin Mobai detour to the trunk.
Curiously, Lou Xi watched Qin Mobai and followed him.
She discovered several gift boxes in the trunk.
"Why bring these things?" She thought to herself, surely Shen Youran doesn’t lack these items.
"Etiquette," Qin Mobai replied as he took the gift boxes out of the trunk.
"Let me help you carry them."
"No need, I can manage," Qin Mobai said, gripping the gift boxes firmly, not allowing Lou Xi to lend a hand; carrying heavy things shouldn’t be left to the lady to do.
Very soon, the manor’s servants came out, dressed neatly in uniforms, and took the items from Qin Mobai’s hands, still worried that their lord-in-law might have been injured...
"Miss, lord-in-law," the butler respectfully greeted Lou Xi and Qin Mobai, "Madam is already waiting for you in the dining room."
"Alright, we’ll be there shortly," Lou Xi replied to the butler. No matter with whom, Lou Xi was exceptionally polite, winning the favor and affection of these servants.
Qin Mobai half embraced Lou Xi around the waist as they walked toward the manor, meanwhile explaining the reason for bringing the gift boxes, "When we got married previously, I didn’t formally present a dowry to your mother. Of course, at the time, I didn’t know you were her daughter, but now that I am aware, all the missed formalities should be made up."
"So, marrying a socially experienced man means I can just sit back and relax." After all, Qin Mobai was thoroughly considerate, leaving her worry-free.
Qin Mobai chuckled and pinched her waist lightly.
Actually, the other meaning he wanted to express was, upon suddenly seeing Ji Nanming today, he recalled previously pretending to be Lou Xi on Lou Xi’s phone, chatting with Shen Youran, learning that Shen Youran intended to match Lou Xi with Ji Nanming.
Of course, at that time, Shen Youran thought Qin Mobai had passed away, so he could understand Shen Youran’s intent to ensure her daughter’s happiness.
But he’s still alive and remains Lou Xi’s husband, so Qin Mobai must make a stand.
Lou Xi is his wife, Qin Mobai’s, and that won’t change in this lifetime; there’s no possibility of her becoming someone else’s girlfriend or wife.
Of course, all these thoughts remained solely in Qin Mobai’s mind, not shared with Lou Xi, who most likely still doesn’t know Shen Youran’s true intentions.
So be it; there is no need for her to know about this matter. She can peacefully be Mrs. Qin.
Qin Mobai and Lou Xi walked into the dining room and saw Shen Youran sitting at the table, alone. Ji Nanming was not there, and Ji Mushen had previously returned to Monaco due to work, so she was by herself.
"Mom."
"Mom."
Qin Mobai and Lou Xi called out to Shen Youran in unison.
Shen Youran stood up from the chair, happy to see Lou Xi visiting her.
But seeing Qin Mobai next to Lou Xi, she felt awkward.
After all, she had thought Qin Mobai had passed away, so she had invited Ji Nanming over to look after Lou Xi, not just any care, but lifetime care.
How was she to know Qin Mobai was still alive?
Luckily, only Ji Nanming knew about this; otherwise, Shen Youran wouldn’t know where to put her face!
"You’re here, come sit, sit. I’ll have the kitchen serve the dishes right away," Shen Youran called to Lou Xi and Qin Mobai, catching sight of the servants bringing in the gift boxes, "There’s no need to bring gifts when you’re visiting."
"It’s necessary," Qin Mobai replied.
