Chapter 979: News Spreads

Seeing how his young wife trusted him so much, Qin Mobai lowered his head and kissed the corner of Lou Xi’s lips.

Of course, it was a very pure kiss, without any passion involved.

After the kiss, Qin Mobai held Lou Xi’s hand and went downstairs.

In the dining room, the two ate quietly, as if nothing had happened.

“So, even if I created opportunities for the two of them to be alone, it was no use.” Lou Xi shook her head, feeling that Lu Li was doomed and wouldn’t win Bai Lu over!

“You can’t blame Lu Li; your friend Bai Lu is just too indifferent, not swayed by anything. Lu Li, with his low emotional intelligence, doesn’t know how to approach, so they’re both stuck in place,” Qin Mobai pointed out.

“Well, there’s nothing to do about it; there’s no woman in the world who can’t be wooed, only men who don’t try hard enough.”

“Oh? Are you saying, Madam, that if another man pursued you, he would succeed?”

“I was already won over by you!”

What she said left Qin Mobai speechless, as it indeed seemed to be the case.

“Let’s eat something first, we might not have time to eat later.” Qin Mobai said with meaningful implication.

After all, Xi Changqing and Qin Rui Li were taken away by the escaped Xi Siwei. Once the news spreads, the Qin Family is going to be in chaos; where would they have time to eat then?

So, at this moment, Qin Mobai needed to let Lou Xi eat more, or else she would be hungry later!

When they got to the dining room, both Bai Lu and Lu Li looked up from their bowls simultaneously.

Qin Mobai glanced at Lu Li with disappointment; he had gone out of his way to create opportunities for him, but this person was seriously just sitting in the dining room eating with Bai Lu; truly disappointing.

Lou Xi also gave Bai Lu a knowing look, but the latter pretended not to see.

She probably understood that Qin Mobai and Lou Xi were deliberately creating opportunities for them to have a world of their own, but she was no longer willing to accept Lu Li; she just wouldn’t.

As if knowing how things were unfolding, Qin Mobai and Lou Xi sat down simultaneously to eat.

Their third aunt seemed to time her entrance perfectly, rushing into the villa just as Lou Xi put down her chopsticks.

“Mobai, Mobai!” The third aunt was a bit out of breath, calling out Qin Mobai’s name as she rushed in.

Qin Mobai got up from his chair and left the dining room.

The third aunt saw Qin Mobai and breathed a sigh of relief, “I just heard that Qin Rui Li and Xi Changqing have disappeared. Did Xi Siwei take them away?”

“Third Aunt, you know about this too?”

“Ah, then it must have been something wrong with those gardeners today!” The third aunt was somewhat anxious because she was the one who had arranged for the gardeners. If something went wrong, it would be her responsibility, and now that Qin Mobai was in charge, if the blame fell on her, it would really be…

“It’s okay. Since they’re out, they can’t walk openly on the streets. I’ve already sent people to look for them.” Qin Mobai said calmly.

The third aunt saw how calm Qin Mobai was, as if he had everything under control, and thought he might really have a plan.

“Third Aunt, you should head back. Make sure Mo Xi stays in for the next few days.”

“Okay, okay.” Seeing that Qin Mobai wasn’t blaming her, the third aunt quickly left. She really shouldn’t get involved in this mess, or it would be hard to explain to the old man.

Back when the old man knew his daughter and son-in-law were confined in the villa, he didn’t say a word against Qin Mobai!
