Chapter 862 - 843: Enjoy the Charm Here
Qin Mobai quickly left the private room, leaving Lou Xi and Bai Lu here.
Lou Xi pulled Bai Lu to sit in the chair, "I don’t even know how to start telling you about everything that happened these days. If I had known earlier that you were missing, I definitely would have come looking for you..."
"What do you mean?" Bai Lu looked at Lou Xi, thinking she might not fully understand what she was saying.
Didn’t Lou Xi know from the start that she was missing? What does "known earlier" mean?
"Simply put, there’s a woman who looks exactly like me impersonating me. I was held captive by Xi Siwei, and it was only two days ago that Mo Bai rescued me."
"How did so much happen?" Bai Lu looked at Lou Xi in shock, completely unaware of these things.
Furthermore, if Lou Xi was impersonated, then the person who notified Lu Li wasn’t Lou Xi, but the impersonator.
So, Bai Lu has been wrongly blaming Lou Xi these days, misunderstanding that she was protecting Lu Li and not helping her.
Thinking of this, Bai Lu realized it wasn’t Lou Xi who informed Lu Li of her whereabouts, but that impersonator.
"None of this matters. The most important thing is that I’m here to take you back to Nancheng. How can you work here? What if something happens to you here, with no one to take care of you, and you want to talk to someone, but I’m not here. So, you must come back with me this time." Lou Xi said insistently.
Anyway, she was going to take Bai Lu back to Nancheng.
"I don’t really want to go back." Bai Lu withdrew her hand from Lou Xi’s, with a faint cloud hanging on her face, "I’ll decide when I want to go back! Besides, I’m doing quite well here, volunteering and meeting lots of interesting people."
No wonder they couldn’t find Bai Lu’s accommodation information. It turned out to be because she was volunteering here, not needing to swipe her ID, so her information couldn’t be found.
Probably Bai Lu also realized this point, which emboldened her to volunteer here.
"Going back doesn’t mean you have to stay with Lu Li. You still need to study; you can’t take a break like I did. If you want to volunteer here, you can come back during the winter and summer holidays, it’s the same."
Mentioning Lu Li, Bai Lu’s expression became somewhat awkward, her eyes dim.
Seeing Bai Lu’s expression, Lou Xi knew that Lu Li had hurt Bai Lu deeply.
Lou Xi didn’t say anything further, reached over, and hugged Bai Lu’s shoulder, "Alright, alright, I won’t talk about him. You’ll meet someone better in the future, trust me!"
Bai Lu leaned on Lou Xi’s shoulder and nodded slightly.
Lou Xi couldn’t tell whether Bai Lu was nodding to her first sentence or the latter.
"If worse comes to worst, I’ll have Qin Mobai introduce some young talents to you. If anyone treats you poorly, I’ll have Qin Mobai deal with them!"
"I don’t want that!" Bai Lu immediately refused, "Lu Li is also Qin Mobai’s friend..."
Bai Lu’s words left Lou Xi speechless.
Yeah, Lu Li is Qin Mobai’s friend, what if another person like Lu Li shows up?
"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this." Lou Xi hurriedly changed the subject, "Have you had dinner? Join us for dinner!"
"I can’t, I still have to help the boss lady with work. I’m working here to earn my board and lodging." Bai Lu got up from Lou Xi’s shoulder, "Since you’re here with Young Master Qin, you should enjoy the charms of Erhai Lake."
"Then when I head back, you must come back with us!"
