Chapter 765 - 746: Not as Fond as Before
Lu Li searched for several days but couldn’t find Bai Lu, as if Bai Lu had vanished into thin air, never having appeared in his world.
Only now did he understand that true farewells never come with warnings; the one who wants to leave will quietly slip away.
Qin Mobai gave Lu Li some time off to let him adjust for a while.
With Lu Li on leave, Qin Mobai’s work became busier, but amid the busyness, he still felt something was off.
That day, Fu Sinian came to his office. Previously, Fu Sinian was chosen to resolve the matter with Xi Siwei, and this was to report on the progress.
Fu Sinian placed the documents in front of Qin Mobai and said, "All those companies under Xi Siwei’s name, except those under the Qin Family, have been thoroughly cleared; now you are the owner of those companies."
Qin Mobai only glanced at the document indifferently, not particularly concerned whether Xi Siwei would face bankruptcy.
"Sinian, when you like someone, do you experience a period of fatigue?" Qin Mobai had been pondering a question these past few days,
It hasn’t even been seven years, so why has he started to feel weary?
These days, being constantly busy, Qin Mobai hadn’t had time to ponder over this question. So, when Fu Sinian arrived, he decided to ask his friend about it.
"Hmm? You don’t like your wife anymore? That’s the world’s eighth wonder! Seeing how affectionate you two are, I thought unless the universe explodes, you wouldn’t separate." Fu Sinian half-joked, but his words somewhat reflected the sincerity of Qin Mobai and Lou Xi’s relationship.
"Yeah, I think so too." Qin Mobai leaned back in his chair, "But these past few days, whenever I look at Lou Xi, I feel a sense of unfamiliarity..."
Feeling not as fond as before, and when looking at her, there’s a constant sense of unfamiliarity.
Fu Sinian chuckled, "Feeling unfamiliar must mean that there’s too much physical distance between you two,
Qin Mobai glared at Fu Sinian, but in his heart, he felt Fu Sinian’s words might not be wrong.
"Don’t work overtime today; hurry home! Wish you a pleasant evening." Fu Sinian smirked mischievously.
However, Qin Mobai did not smile; he looked coldly at Fu Sinian. "When you have conflicts with Mo Xi, do you use this method too?"
Fu Sinian immediately distanced himself, "How could someone as honest and upright as me trick a little girl into doing such things?"
Qin Mobai let out a cold snort, "Implying that I’m not honest and upright?"
How did the conversation end up with Qin Mobai leading it into a trap?
"Of course, I don’t mean that; you two are married. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll make a move." Can’t provoke him, but sure can avoid him, right? Fu Sinian quickly slipped away.
Qin Mobai sat in his large office chair, feeling particularly heavy-hearted.
