Chapter 918 - 899: I Know You Like Lou Xi
Qin Mobai left the hospital, feeling a bit agitated as he yanked off the tie around his neck.
He ended up encountering Ji Nanming at the hospital entrance. Qin Mobai was already quite resentful about the situation with Lin Qianqian, and meeting Ji Nanming only added to his discomfort.
He initially intended to leave the hospital, but before reaching his car, Qin Mobai changed direction and called out to Ji Nanming.
Ji Nanming probably anticipated that Qin Mobai would stop him, so he hadn’t gone inside from the start.
The two of them stood on the side of the open-air parking lot, with Ji Nanming smoking a cigarette and offering one to Qin Mobai.
They were not on terms where they could smoke together, so Qin Mobai refused.
"Quit." Because Lou Xi didn’t like the smell of smoke, and also if they were seriously planning to have a child, at least starting preparations for it, Qin Mobai needed to quit smoking and drinking.
Ji Nanming retracted the cigarette pack and placed it in his pocket.
"I’ll take care of Lin Qianqian’s situation," Ji Nanming said, his words accompanied by cigarette smoke that blurred his outline.
"I know you like Lou Xi," Qin Mobai said bluntly; previously he had never broken this silence with Ji Nanming, pretending not to know.
Otherwise, mentioning it would make everyone awkward.
But now it had come to a point where it had to be said.
Ji Nanming didn’t speak, just smoked indifferently, not denying his liking for Lou Xi.
"I accept that someone likes Lou Xi; it only proves she’s an excellent girl and confirms your good taste. But if you have any further intentions, I advise you to best give up." Because no one can take Lou Xi away from Qin Mobai.
"I never intended to disrupt the current balance," Ji Nanming said.
"That’s because you simply don’t have the capability to disrupt this balance." Qin Mobai was confident, knowing Lou Xi wouldn’t leave his side.
After everything they’ve been through, their feelings will only become more intense, not easily disturbed by the appearance of someone like Ji Nanming.
Ji Nanming took a deep breath because he deeply understood Qin Mobai’s words were true; he had no way to disrupt this balance.
Even if he and Qin Mobai were equally accomplished, even if he also liked Lou Xi, even if...
Lou Xi wouldn’t choose him, a sentiment he couldn’t sway no matter how hard he tried.
So, Ji Nanming never intended to try to sway things from the start.
However, his feelings seemed unjustifiable to others.
"Moreover, concerning Lin Qianqian, you don’t need to intervene; I am responsible for Lou Xi’s happiness." Qin Mobai boldly informed Ji Nanming that matters between Lou Xi, Lin Qianqian, and Shen Youran were only for Ji Nanming to meddle in Shen Youran’s side.
He had no jurisdiction over matters on Lou Xi’s end.
Having said all there was to say, Qin Mobai didn’t bother speaking any more nonsense with Ji Nanming, turning around to head to his car, and even as he started the engine and drove away, he could still see Ji Nanming standing in the parking lot.
What exactly was this man swaggering about? What did he have to do with Lou Xi, to justify with such righteousness that he could resolve the issue with Lin Qianqian?
Ridiculous, resolving Lin Qianqian’s situation would clearly be up to Qin Mobai—how could it be Ji Nanming’s turn?
Such an obstinate man must be kept away from Lou Xi.
