Chapter 733 - 714: Accidentally Saw Your WeChat Conversation
Qin Mobai’s question was truly tricky, leaving Shen Youran momentarily unsure of how to respond.
Shen Youran paused, lifting the glass of water on the table to cover her embarrassment.
There were only the two of them in the restaurant, and no one spoke at the moment. It was eerily quiet inside, while Qin Mobai looked at Shen Youran, waiting for her answer.
After a moment, Shen Youran put down the glass, met Qin Mobai’s gaze, "Nan Ming is someone I’ve watched grow up since childhood. I’m very clear about his character. If he really were with Lou Xi, he would treat her well, just like you do."
"Of course, for your and Mr. Ji’s sake, Ji Nanming would also treat Lou Xi well," Qin Mobai admitted, "But can Ji Nanming love Lou Xi like I do? Give her the love she wants? Can Lou Xi be as happy and joyful as when she’s with me?"
Qin Mobai threw three consecutive questions at Shen Youran, leaving her speechless.
Forced relationships never last long. Shen Youran understood this truth, even if Ji Nanming would take care of Lou Xi for a lifetime for the sake of her face and his, that wasn’t love.
However... how did Qin Mobai know she intended to match Ji Nanming with Lou Xi?
"How did you..." Shen Youran was full of doubt.
"That day, I accidentally saw your WeChat conversation with Lou Xi." Qin Mobai said this without a trace of embarrassment, even though it was with Shen Youran that he had actually spoken.
Shen Youran raised an eyebrow naturally and tidied the stray hair from her temples, "At that time, I thought you had passed away. After all, I’m old, I don’t know when I’ll leave Lou Xi forever, I always have to find someone I trust to take care of Lou Xi."
And Ji Nanming was that trusted person for Shen Youran.
"I understand your maternal worries and concerns, and right now I can’t give you a long-term guarantee for the things you’re concerned about, but if you keep watching, you’ll find that Lou Xi and I being together is the most appropriate and happiest arrangement." Promises are not just mere words; they need a lifetime to be fulfilled.
Marriage is the same, no matter how sweet the words in front of you are, they are useless.
Whether it’s sincere, let’s see in fifty years if Qin Mobai treats Lou Xi as he does now.
Shen Youran sighed, she was merely expressing her worries to Qin Mobai, not actually wanting the two of them to separate.
Plus, the earlier thing with Ji Nanming was arranged under the assumption that Qin Mobai had passed away.
Ignorance can be acquitted.
"I still hope you can cleanly handle matters with the Qin Family soon, and not let Lou Xi go through a miscarriage incident again."
That miscarriage was also an indelible pain in Qin Mobai’s heart, "If I need to take action against Shen Ruozhuo, what would be your stance?"
Qin Mobai was mostly hesitant due to Shen Ruozhuo’s status as Miss Shen, and hadn’t acted thoroughly.
"I have nothing to do with her, what attitude could I possibly have?" Shen Youran distanced herself from Shen Ruozhuo with one sentence, implying that Qin Mobai could do whatever he wished.
But no matter what Shen Youran said at this moment, it couldn’t change Qin Mobai’s resolve to take action against Shen Ruozhuo and Xi Siwei, he was merely notifying Shen Youran, not consulting.
Otherwise, his meeting with Fu Sinian in the morning would have been meaningless.
Just as the topic between Qin Mobai and Shen Youran ended, Lou Xi rushed in, looking urgent.
