Chapter 759 - 740: Superficial Harmony
Lin Qianqian seems to have realized that her behavior is inappropriate. How could she think about what’s good to eat in a restaurant when a friend is missing?
To avoid exposing herself, Lin Qianqian immediately walked to Qin Mobai and Lu Li’s side and said, "Let’s split up to find Bai Lu. If we don’t find her today, none of us will be able to rest well tonight!"
This concern for friends was the Lou Xi that Qin Mobai knew.
Therefore, he felt that it was just his illusion; how could he think Lou Xi was not Lou Xi?
"I can go look myself, you came to the restaurant to eat, right?" Lu Li didn’t dare to disrupt Lou Xi and Qin Mobai’s dinner, but by coming here, he had already disrupted it.
And Lu Li’s appearance seemed to fit Qin Mobai’s intention. Dining with Ji Nanming was originally unplanned, and he didn’t really want to have dinner with Ji Nanming, so Lu Li’s timing was perfect.
"Finding Bai Lu is more important; we can eat anytime." Qin Mobai said earnestly, as if tonight’s dinner wasn’t set by him.
Just as they were discussing this matter, Ji Nanming arrived.
He came alone and found Qin Mobai, Lou Xi, and Lu Li standing outside, not going in, and the three people’s expressions weren’t good—had something happened?
"Why aren’t you guys going in?" Ji Nanming asked, surprised, with one hand in his suit pocket.
Lin Qianqian noticed a subtle tension between Qin Mobai and Ji Nanming, an equally matched hostility, but these two hid it well, not showing it obviously. Only someone like Lin Qianqian, adept at observing facial expressions, could see it.
"Bai Lu is missing; we need to help Lu Li find her, so tonight’s dinner will..."
"Finding her is important; you should hurry to look for her." Ji Nanming said, "If you need any help, just let me know."
"No, you just arrived in Nancheng, and aren’t familiar with many places. We can find her ourselves." Qin Mobai politely declined Ji Nanming’s goodwill.
"Sure, give me a call once you find her." Ji Nanming’s offer to help was just a formality.
Lin Qianqian realized that both Qin Mobai and Ji Nanming maintained an upright façade, with friendly smiles on the surface, but they don’t actually like each other inside!
But why don’t they like each other? What caused it?
Lin Qianqian wanted to know the reason behind it.
But definitely not now; now she has to help Lu Li find that runaway girl, feeling inexplicably restless.
Finding Bai Lu was urgent, and after briefly greeting Ji Nanming, they each got into their cars.
Lu Li went to the train station to check outbound records, Qin Mobai and Lou Xi went to the airport to check immigration.
In the car, Qin Mobai increased the speed. The cars on the airport highway were unusual, and he glanced at the person in the passenger seat.
"In the future, if we argue, would you leave without saying a word?" Qin Mobai asked a hypothetical question.
Lin Qianqian turned to look at the man in the driver’s seat, her eyes moved slightly and answered, "No, I don’t like disappearing. If there’s any problem, it should be said and resolved. Avoiding it won’t solve anything."
Qin Mobai nodded, as expected.
Lou Xi isn’t someone who likes to avoid issues, but he thought Lou Xi would have responded—
Why would we argue? Did you do something to make me upset?
