Chapter 968: You Should Also Stay Safe

Lou Xi returned to the villa, always feeling as if there was a pair of eyes watching her. She stood on the second-floor balcony looking out, only seeing the calm Qin Mansion and the gardener busy working in the yard.

She didn’t notice anything unusual.

Lou Xi felt she might have overthought it, so she shook her head and went back into the room.

She still needed to prepare to take her medicine. Although the medicine tasted awful, if taking it would help her body get better and eventually conceive a child…

A little bitterness was no big deal.

Just as she was about to go downstairs, her phone rang.

It was a call from Bai Lu.

Lou Xi realized she hadn’t contacted Bai Lu for a while, and didn’t know how things were going between her and Lu Li.

“Xixi, I need to ask you for a favor.”

“What is it? Do we really need to use the word ‘favor’ between us?” Lou Xi said with a smile, walking into the kitchen to prepare her medicine.

She heard Bai Lu sigh on the other end, “Lu Li took my book, and I have his clothes here. I want to exchange the items, but I don’t want to see him.”

“You want me to be the middleman?”

“If I ask someone else, he definitely wouldn’t agree.”

So she could only ask Lou Xi.

“Alright then, I’ll go find Lu Li later. Where are you?”

“I’m at school. Why don’t I go to Jia Sheng Group, and we can meet downstairs? That way, you don’t have to make an extra trip.”

“Alright, I haven’t seen you for a long time, anyway. It’ll be good to chat.”

And with that, it was settled. Lou Xi tilted her head back and drank the herbal medicine in one go. It was even more bitter without Qin Mobai to feed her…

As Lou Xi walked out, she dialed Qin Mobai’s number.

This man answered the phone quickly, “Miss me, darling?”

When Qin Mobai said this, there was definitely no one else around him.

“Yeah, I miss you, so I’m planning to check on you.”

“You want to check on me, huh? I better chase away all the women around me.”

“Tell me, how many women are you hiding around you?”

“Let me count, one, two, three, four…”

The two joked over the phone, and then Qin Mobai asked, “Are you really coming to the company?”

“Yeah, heading to Jia Sheng Group. Are you at the Qin Family?” If Qin Mobai were at Jia Sheng Group, they could leave work together.

“Why do you want to go to Jia Sheng Group?” Qin Mobai thought about Xi Siwei’s jailbreak and worried about Lou Xi’s safety if she left alone…

“Bai Lu left some things with Lu Li and asked me to help retrieve them.”

“Alright.” Qin Mobai paused, “I’ll have the driver take you, and be sure to stay safe. There’s something I need to tell you in advance.”

Lou Xi sensed the change in Qin Mobai’s tone, feeling there might be something important.

“Don’t tell me you’re really hiding a woman in your office?”

“…” If it were just hiding a woman, it would be simple. “Xi Siwei has broken out of jail. The police haven’t found him yet, so don’t go out alone for now.”

Lou Xi was startled, “Jailbreak?”

This man was incredible, even breaking out of jail!

“Yeah, so stay put until the police find Xi Siwei and the safety threat is resolved. Then you can go wherever you like.”

“It’s okay, I’m just going to Jia Sheng Group, and the driver is taking me; nothing will happen.”

“If anything unusual happens, call me immediately. Also, I’ll have someone follow you, so don’t be surprised.”

“Alright. Mobai, you take care of yourself too.”
