Chapter 757 - 738: She Actually Isn’t Worried at All
Qin Mobai and Lou Xi walked hand in hand into the restaurant. As a couple, they always attracted a lot of attention in Nancheng, especially in this upscale restaurant filled with the elite, who all looked at them as they entered.
Qin Mobai was used to the attention and walked forward calmly.
But for Lin Qianqian, it was her first time appearing in public with Qin Mobai, and her first time being the center of attention.
She felt a little nervous, a little worried, and a bit excited.
Being the center of attention felt like this.
Lin Qianqian felt like she wasn’t walking inside the restaurant, but on a brightly-lit red carpet, feeling fabulous!
While Lin Qianqian was enjoying the attention, someone suddenly rushed in front of her and Qin Mobai.
It was none other than Lu Li.
Lu Li was not his usual calm and composed self, his handsome face was beaded with sweat from running.
"Sister-in-law!" Lu Li ran up and directly blocked Lin Qianqian, "Where is Bai Lu?"
Lin Qianqian knew that Lou Xi and Bai Lu were best friends, and Bai Lu was now with Lu Li.
But for Lu Li to suddenly ask Lou Xi where Bai Lu was, she certainly didn’t know, especially since she had seen Lou Xi and Bai Lu’s WeChat chat records, the latest being from yesterday.
The call records between Lou Xi and Bai Lu were also from yesterday; they hadn’t been in touch today at all.
"I don’t know where she is. Did something happen?"
"Has she not contacted you? No phone calls or messages?" Lu Li seemed out of control, gripping Lin Qianqian’s shoulders with so much force she felt they were going to be crushed.
"Lu Li!" Qin Mobai placed his hand on Lu Li’s wrist, "Let go."
The out-of-control Lu Li heard Qin Mobai’s words and realized he had lost control, hastily letting go of Lin Qianqian.
"Let’s talk outside; there are too many people here." Qin Mobai said in a deep voice, pulling Lin Qianqian’s hand and leading her outside.
Lu Li, realizing how inappropriate his behavior had been, quickly followed Qin Mobai and Lin Qianqian outside.
In the garden outside the restaurant, Qin Mobai looked at the sweat-covered Lu Li and asked, "What’s going on between you and Bai Lu?"
How should Lu Li explain what happened last night when he forced Bai Lu, especially since it’s something difficult to say?
"A tiny argument; after she left this morning, she hasn’t contacted me. When I went to school to pick her up this afternoon, I found out she processed a leave of absence. Her things are still in the dorm, but the important ones are gone." Isn’t this leaving without a trace?
Lu Li searched everywhere Bai Lu might go, even calling her parents, probing to discover Bai Lu hadn’t contacted them either.
Now Lu Li had no idea where Bai Lu went, what if something happened to her?
Lin Qianqian gazed at the worried Lu Li with indifference, considering Bai Lu wasn’t her friend but Lou Xi’s.
Her task wasn’t to help Lu Li find Bai Lu, her eyes reflected a flash of impatience.
When Qin Mobai turned intending to ask where Bai Lu might appear right now, he noticed the impatience in "Lou Xi’s" eyes.
Today, when Qin Mobai saw "Lou Xi," he had felt something was off, yet couldn’t pinpoint it.
At this moment, with Bai Lu missing, she seemed not worried at all!
