Chapter 783 - 764 Panic
Lou Xi finished the meal Sister Li brought, placed the chopsticks on the bowl, looked up at Sister Li, and said, "Thank you."
"No need for thanks, no need for thanks." Sister Li was flattered; it was the first time she had heard the owner thank her. "It’s what I’m supposed to do. If you need anything, just let me know immediately. That bastard... no, no, sir doesn’t come here often, so I’ll take care of your daily needs."
"Mm, thank you."
"Oh, Miss Lin, you keep saying thank you like this, I’ll be embarrassed." Sister Li found Lou Xi easy to get along with, but seeing her with a man like Xi Siwei, it really was a pity.
"Where is this place? How often does the sir come here? I kind of... miss him!" Lou Xi’s eyes showed sincere emotions. If there were a mirror at that moment, she might have been moved by her own expression.
"This place is..." Sister Li was about to say where they were but remembered Xi Siwei specifically instructed not to tell Lou Xi the location. "Sir’s visits here aren’t on a set schedule. If you miss him, I can call and let him know."
"Can’t I call him myself?" As long as she could get a phone, Lou Xi would call Qin Mobai. As long as she could contact Qin Mobai, there was hope for a turnaround!
"Well..." Sister Li hesitated, unwilling to say more. "Miss Lin, please rest well. I need to go handle other matters. If you need anything, just call for me."
After speaking, Sister Li took the empty bowl and left the room.
Seeing Sister Li leave the room, Lou Xi’s expression gradually darkened. She turned her back to the monitor, not wanting whoever was behind it to see her current expression.
...
South City Center, Hilton Hotel.
Jin Xunyang, holding his phone, walked toward the private room. He and Lou Xi had arranged to meet in room 214 — a room number full of significance, 2.14, precisely Valentine’s Day.
This Lou Xi, he had just said a few extra words, and she clung to him like a piece of gum. Was she so flighty? Did her husband, Qin Mobai, know this?
It just so happened that he and Qin Mobai were evenly matched in a government collaborative project. If he could extract some confidential information from Lou Xi, he could defeat Qin Mobai to secure the deal. Then, in Nancheng, it wouldn’t be the Qin Family calling the shots but his Jin Family!
Jin Xunyang had his plans well plotted, but upon opening the door to room 214, he discovered that the person sitting inside wasn’t Lou Xi.
It wasn’t a woman, but a man!
And not just any man, but Qin Mobai!
What was he doing here?
Qin Mobai sat on the sofa inside the room, watching Jin Xunyang’s expression change from joy to surprise, then to chagrin, and finally to a touch of embarrassment upon opening the door.
On the contrary, Qin Mobai sat like a king on his throne, looking down at the lust-driven Jin Xunyang.
"President Jin seems quite surprised to see me," Qin Mobai said coldly. "Who were you expecting to see here?"
The icy voice reached Jin Xunyang’s ears, causing his heart to tremble. Backing away wasn’t an option, so he braced himself and walked in.
"Who is President Qin waiting for here?" Old foxes both, dodging the point as always.
"Whoever President Jin was hoping to see here, that’s who I’m waiting for."
Unbeknownst to Jin Xunyang, behind the screen in the private room, Lin Qianqian was covering her mouth in panic, hiding there.
