After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 249 - 250: The Path You’ve Taken (3)

"By the way, I haven’t asked you yet, what exactly happened yesterday? Was it serious?" After a while, Lou Xi remembered yesterday’s events and asked Qin Mobai.

"Anything that can be solved with money isn’t a big deal. It’s already been settled," Qin Mobai said calmly. "Yesterday, Grandma asked me if I came back to introduce you to the family. When we have some free time, I’ll have Grandpa and Grandma visit your parents."

Qin Mobai’s voice wasn’t loud, but everyone sitting in the small restaurant heard it. They realized that Lou Xi and Qin Mobai were already at the stage of introducing each other to their families and also knew that Qin Mobai’s family was very wealthy.

Lou Xi certainly knew that Qin Mobai, who usually didn’t like to talk too much about his personal matters in public, was saying these words for others to hear.

Previously, she was puzzled about why Qin Mobai said he wanted to take a stroll outside but ended up eating in the small restaurant.

It turned out there was a reason behind it all.

But how did Qin Mobai know...?

Lou Xi thought of the driver from yesterday and guessed that the driver must have informed Qin Mobai. That’s why he deliberately created the current scenario to let everyone know she wasn’t his kept college student, but his proper girlfriend instead!

Thinking of this, Lou Xi felt a warmth in her heart.

She realized that Qin Mobai was so capable, effortlessly and quietly dispelling those rumors.

Now, when Lou Xi looked at Qin Mobai, there was warmth in her eyes mixed with gratitude.

Soon, Aunt Zhao brought two bowls of small wontons and placed them in front of both of them.

"Try it, it’s really delicious," Lou Xi urged Qin Mobai to eat.

Aunt Zhao chided, "It’s so hot, how do you expect him to eat it?"

Lou Xi stuck out her tongue, acting like a daughter playfully teasing her mother.

It was an expression that Qin Mobai had never seen on Lou Xi’s face before, so even though the person opposite was Aunt Zhao, he couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.

Realizing this, Qin Mobai chuckled softly, thinking he was like a walking jar of jealousy.

"Aunt Zhao, Lou Xi hasn’t introduced me to you yet," Qin Mobai said politely to Aunt Zhao. "I’m Qin Mobai, Lou Xi’s fiancé."

Lou Xi had forgotten to introduce him to Aunt Zhao and was reminded by Qin Mobai.

"Our Xixi is great in every way, just a bit careless. If there’s someone considerate to look after her, I would be relieved," Aunt Zhao nodded approvingly.

Lou Xi blushed, feeling for a moment like she couldn’t get a word in.

"That’s why on our way here, I told her not to roam around carelessly, to avoid getting lost, which would be troublesome," Qin Mobai said.

Really, it would be troublesome to look for her; he had searched for fourteen years.

If she hadn’t unexpectedly come into the washroom, if he hadn’t recognized her from a tiny memory, he wouldn’t have known she was the girl he had been looking for all these years!

Now that he’s found her, Qin Mobai won’t let her get lost again.

Aunt Zhao felt that it was like — the more she looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she became.

"You both enjoy your meal, I’ll get back to work," Aunt Zhao, satisfied with Qin Mobai, stood up to attend to other matters.

Lou Xi withdrew her gaze from Aunt Zhao’s busy figure.

Qin Mobai scooped half of the small wontons from his bowl into Lou Xi’s bowl, "Eat more, gain some weight."

Lou Xi nodded.

"If you’re not comfortable with Aunt Zhao handling things alone, I can have Su Lin arrange someone to help her, so she’s not so tired running the shop," it turns out Qin Mobai really understood Lou Xi’s mind.
