Chapter 867 - 846-848: To Return or Not to Return
When Qin Mobai came back from the bathroom, he found Lou Xi had already fallen asleep in bed, sleeping soundly.
At that moment, Qin Mobai’s gaze was the softest, and he slightly raised the corner of his mouth, looking at Lou Xi on the bed.
He walked over and gently kissed the corner of Lou Xi’s lips, saying, "Good night, the one I love."
Isn’t the happiest thing in the world that the one I love is also my lover?
And Qin Mobai is the lucky person.
After he changed clothes, he left the room.
It wasn’t too early, but not too late either.
When Qin Mobai came downstairs, he saw Bai Lu sitting at the reception area; she was responsible for tonight’s shift.
Seeing Qin Mobai come down, Bai Lu showed a hint of surprise but quickly regained her composure.
Since she met Qin Mobai and Lou Xi, Bai Lu had anticipated this kind of encounter.
Qin Mobai walked over to the reception area and said, "Let’s talk."
There were no customers checking in at this time, so Bai Lu nodded and walked out of the inn with Qin Mobai, standing by the seaside railing outside.
The cool sea breeze blew on their bodies, and Qin Mobai began to speak.
"Has Lu Li ever told you about his past?" Qin Mobai asked lightly, his face indistinct in the night.
This man, who spoke indifferently about his brother’s life and death, wouldn’t hesitate to have a heart-to-heart when it came to his brother’s woman.
Because he knew that, with Lu Li’s personality, he wouldn’t say so much to Bai Lu.
As expected, Bai Lu shook her head. Her understanding of Lu Li was limited to him being the Lu Family’s son and Jia Sheng Group’s general manager, Lu Li, having lots of money and being very handsome.
Even though they were getting married, Bai Lu didn’t know much about Lu Li.
Or not deeply.
"Lu Li is the youngest child in the Lu Family, with several brothers above him. In the circles of the rich and powerful, there’s an emphasis on seniority, and Lu Li, being at the bottom, always got the least of everything."
Bai Lu couldn’t imagine living like that, as she was an only child, receiving all of her parents’ love, and everything in the home would be hers in the future, according to her parents.
"Lu Li is very insecure, so he ultimately didn’t choose the path the Lu Family laid out for him. He knows security is in his hands. Family relationships are like this, and so is love. Lu Li’s methods towards you might have been somewhat extreme, but you have to understand that he doesn’t know how to keep you by his side forever."
Because he feels helpless, Lu Li resorts to coercing her?
Bai Lu couldn’t understand this mentality.
"After you disappeared, Lu Li frantically searched for you in Nancheng, until he came to realize that you were hiding from him and didn’t want him to find you. So he stopped looking. He said as long as he didn’t search, you might still be in Nancheng, and occasionally, he could see you."
These words from Qin Mobai made Bai Lu’s heart suddenly ache, knowing that even the always unyielding Lu Li had moments of compromise.
"Bai Lu, he’s the most helpless Lu Li I’ve ever seen. In all these years, he’s only ever poured his heart out for you; you’re the only one he’s wanted to marry. As Lu Li’s friend, I hope you can reconsider your relationship with Lu Li."
Bai Lu quietly listened to Qin Mobai’s words without interruption or interference.
She felt he was right and made sense.
"Now Lu Li is in a car accident, in the operating room, life or death uncertain. Just now, Lou Xi asked whether we should go back immediately. But the person Lu Li wants to see is not any of us; the person he wishes to see is you." Qin Mobai looked at the already wavering Bai Lu.
Bai Lu stood under the night sky, looking at the vast dark sea in the distance, unsure of what she was thinking.
Then, Qin Mobai delivered the final blow, "I hope what you return to see isn’t his body or tombstone."
The words "body" and "tombstone" deeply stimulated Bai Lu’s mind. She couldn’t imagine Lu Li turning into a cold corpse or being reduced to ashes buried in the ground.
"Think about it carefully, this is the captain’s phone number." Qin Mobai placed the business card of the private jet’s captain on the railing in front of Bai Lu, "Whenever you want to return, call him, and he’ll take you back."
After saying this, Qin Mobai put one hand in his casual pants pocket, gave Bai Lu a deep look, then turned back towards the hotel.
After all that has been said, the rest is for Bai Lu to ponder and decide on her own.
Whether to return or not to return.
