Chapter 791 -s 772-723: Adding Some Joy to the Family
"Ruozhuo, let’s find a time to get the marriage certificate."
"Huh?" Shen Ruozhuo thought she misheard it. Was Xi Siwei truly planning to marry her? "You’re joking, right..."
"Are you afraid to marry me?"
"Why would I be afraid?"
"Then let’s get married."
"Sure, who’s afraid of whom!" Shen Ruozhuo knew Xi Siwei was using reverse psychology, but knowing this couldn’t prevent her from refusing.
As Xi Siwei indulged in the joy that Shen Ruozhuo brought him, he also thought that once he married Shen Ruozhuo, he could take over the Shen Family.
Ah, women are just foolish!
...
That night, members of the Qin Family sat in the dining room for dinner, with Shen Ruozhuo unexpectedly present.
It was due to the old man deeply mourning the old lady, and even Qin Mobai and others didn’t acknowledge Shen Ruozhuo’s identity, who actually shouldn’t be at the Qin Mansion.
At the quiet dining table, the phone in Qin Mobai’s pocket suddenly rang.
With the vibration pre-set, Qin Mobai discreetly pulled the phone out, revealing a message from Su Lin.
Qin Mobai roughly flipped through a few pages; it was information sent about the woman beside him.
Name: Lin Qianqian.
Occupation: Nightclub singer.
Seeing this, Qin Mobai couldn’t help but turn to look at Lin Qianqian.
Noticing Qin Mobai’s gaze, Lin Qianqian turned to face him, feigning innocence.
Under the table, Qin Mobai placed the phone in front of Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian saw her own information displayed on it, her face instantly turning pale!
Qin Mobai showed Lin Qianqian the information Su Lin just sent, then withdrew the phone back into his pocket.
"Have some soup." Qin Mobai personally served Lin Qianqian some soup, placing it in front of her, appearing to care for her as if she were his wife.
Yet Lin Qianqian didn’t dare touch the mushroom soup offered by Qin Mobai, her back drenched in cold sweat. If she wasn’t mistaken, the information Qin Mobai just showed her was the data Xi Siwei had supposedly destroyed earlier.
How did Qin Mobai know?
"What’s wrong with sister-in-law? Her complexion looks awful." Qin Moxi noticed "Lou Xi’s" pale face and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Brother, how are you taking care of sister-in-law?"
Qin Moxi murmured softly, trying to lighten the oppressive atmosphere at the table by saying a few words.
"Really? Bad complexion?" Qin Mobai turned to look at Lin Qianqian, as if just noticing her poor condition.
Qin Mobai’s eyes appeared indifferent, but to Lin Qianqian, they seemed terrifying.
This man was nothing short of a demon rising from Hell.
He managed to reveal her information right there, acting as if he knew nothing.
For Qin Mobai to find that information, it wasn’t a matter of moments; meaning he had known all along that she wasn’t really Lou Xi.
If he knew she wasn’t Lou Xi but was able to endure until now...
The scariest thing in the world is a man who can keep his cool.
"N-no problem." Lin Qianqian gripped her hem tightly, nervous.
"You must be hungry, eat more." Qin Mobai placed many dishes on Lin Qianqian’s plate.
"Th-thank you." Lin Qianqian responded.
If Qin Mobai hadn’t exposed her directly, he presumably wanted to refrain from doing so for now.
Moreover... with Xi Siwei at the table, if everything was revealed now, it would be disastrous.
Feeling cold sweats down her back, Lin Qianqian could only rigidly eat the food Qin Mobai placed on her plate.
Lin Qianqian suddenly felt that her previous experiences were nothing compared to this moment, with Qin Mobai comfortably controlling everything, making her feel as if she were in an icehouse.
She sneaked a peek at Xi Siwei, only to find him not focusing on her, but caring for Shen Ruozhuo beside him.
Why was Xi Siwei with Shen Ruozhuo again? From the things Lin Qianqian learned over these days, Xi Siwei liked Lou Xi, but after taking Lou Xi away, he was now with Shen Ruozhuo.
So, where exactly is Lou Xi now?
All these questions surged into Lin Qianqian’s mind, leaving her uneasy.
"Feel free, don’t be restrained." Qin Sheng spoke up, breaking the stiff atmosphere in the dining room.
Having reflected in the room earlier, Qin Sheng seemed to have come out of his mourning without mentioning the old lady anymore.
Upon hearing the old master’s words, everyone resumed eating, and the atmosphere grew livelier than before.
"In a few days, it’ll be Mobai’s thirtieth birthday, right?" Suddenly, Qin Sheng asked.
"Yes, grandpa."
"Thirty is a big birthday, it should be celebrated well, taking this chance to bring some joy to the Qin Family."
Initially, Qin Mobai had no interest in celebrating his birthday, but hearing the old man say so seemed reasonable.
"Then it’s decided." Qin Sheng concluded, "Lou Xi, you’ll manage Mobai’s birthday banquet."
Lin Qianqian, upon being named, felt her heart tremble.
