Chapter 864 - 845: Driven to Anger
That night, Lou Xi had no way to talk to Bai Lu again, as Bai Lu was always busy and couldn’t find any free time.
With this being the case, Lou Xi didn’t want to disturb her.
Feeling unhappy, she eventually returned to the room where Qin Mobai had already taken a shower and come out of the bathroom. The man had a white towel wrapped around his waist, his upper body still glistening with water drops that followed the contours of his skin.
Lou Xi watched Qin Mobai come out like this, her eyes never leaving his body.
She subconsciously swallowed, unable to get enough of Qin Mobai’s impressive physique.
Feeling it was perhaps inappropriate, Lou Xi quickly averted her gaze, closed the door, and walked into the room. To hide her embarrassment, she picked up a water glass from the table and pretended to drink.
Since Lou Xi opened the door, Qin Mobai had been pretending to be casual, and just when Lou Xi picked up the water glass, he started walking towards her.
Having just showered, he also felt thirsty. He pressed his chest against Lou Xi’s back, drawing close to her.
Lou Xi’s body stiffened, feeling the man’s approach from behind. His warm breath made it impossible for her to ignore his presence, and all she felt was nervousness.
Now that they’ve found Bai Lu, they have resolved a major issue.
What is that saying—
Then, Qin Mobai clasped her wrist, bringing the water glass to his mouth.
The "gulp gulp" sound was Qin Mobai drinking water, resonating right next to Lou Xi’s ear, striking the deepest part of her heart with every sound.
Torture.
Lou Xi opened her mouth but found her voice dry and hoarse, an indescribable feeling swirling in her heart.
The man pretended not to understand, responding softly next to Lou Xi’s ear.
"It’s late. How will you go back? At this hour, you should be resting."
"Then... then let’s rest..." Lou Xi wanted to quickly escape Qin Mobai’s restraint, but a man like him wouldn’t let her go so easily.
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Lou Xi asked Qin Mobai, "Aren’t you worried about Lu Li at all? Does that mean he’s perfectly fine?"
Qin Mobai raised his brows, neither denying nor confirming.
He couldn’t lie to his wife and certainly didn’t want to let down his brother, so he could only remain silent.
"You two are just unbelievable!" Lou Xi didn’t even know what to say about Qin Mobai and Lu Li and was furious.
Seeing his wife angry, Qin Mobai quickly cupped Lou Xi’s cheeks and kissed her.
