Chapter 977: In Too Deep

After waiting for over half an hour, Qin Mobai and Lou Xi still hadn’t come downstairs. It seemed like they were really discussing something important!

But, should I go upstairs and call them? Is it really okay to leave the guests downstairs like this?

When Bai Lu stood up from the sofa, Lu Li followed suit, “What are you doing?” Wasn’t Lu Li worried that Bai Lu was leaving!

“I want to go up and ask them when exactly they will come down for dinner.”

“Huh?” For a moment, Bai Lu didn’t understand what Lu Li meant, talking about things and doing things?

But upon closer thought, something seemed a bit off…

“So, let’s go eat now!” Lu Li spoke as if it were only natural, seemingly unconcerned about whether Qin Mobai and Lou Xi were upstairs talking or doing something.

But with the hosts not present, is it really okay for the guests to go to the dining room to eat?

For Lu Li, there was nothing wrong with it; after all, he already considered this place his home!

Besides, being able to have dinner with Bai Lu alone was fantastic.

Bai Lu was thus pulled into the dining room by Lu Li. When Sister Yun saw only Bai Lu and Lu Li coming over, she was a bit surprised.

“Sister Yun, your Young Master and Young Madam have some matters to discuss. Bai Lu and I will start eating first.”

“Alright, I’ll serve you both right away.” Sister Yun didn’t ask much and went to the kitchen to serve them food.

The two sat face to face, and suddenly Lu Li felt very sad because this was the only way to have a meal with Bai Lu.

Bai Lu could clearly feel Lu Li’s low spirits, yet everything seemed fine just before. What happened now?

She looked up and glanced at Lu Li, who was just holding his chopsticks, contemplating which dish in front of him looked more appetizing.

Bai Lu suppressed her urge to speak, not wanting to show any more concern for him, for fear of getting caught deeper and unable to extricate herself!

Thinking this, Bai Lu immediately refocused and continued eating her food absent-mindedly.

…

She lightly punched Qin Mobai in the chest, feeling a bit annoyed.

Yet the man chuckled softly, seemingly enjoying the sight of Lou Xi’s flushed cheeks.

“Are you angry?”

“Isn’t it because of you? Now I have no idea what Bai Lu and Lu Li are thinking downstairs!”

“Even if they think about it, they wouldn’t dare say it out loud.” High-handed and domineering, that’s exactly what Qin Mobai was like!
