After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 250 - 251: The Path You’ve Taken (4)

With just a glance, Qin Mobai knew what Lou Xi was thinking. Their tacit understanding was truly unparalleled.

"Aunt Zhao used to have a daughter, but when her daughter was five years old, she drowned. Later, her husband went away to work and never returned." Speaking of Aunt Zhao, Lou Xi still felt very heartbroken.

If they were still in Nancheng, she could sometimes come to visit her, but now they were separated by distance...

"If you’re still worried, then bring Aunt Zhao to Nancheng."

"Aunt Zhao certainly wouldn’t want to leave here." Lou Xi shook her head. This is where Aunt Zhao has lived all her life. Perhaps deep down, she’s still hoping to stay here to wait for her husband to return.

Even though no one knows when he’ll come back.

"Do you like Aunt Zhao?" Qin Mobai asked softly.

While eating the steaming small dumplings, Lou Xi said, "Yes, when I was a child going to school, I’d pass by Aunt Zhao’s shop and she would give me breakfast. You could say I grew up eating Aunt Zhao’s breakfasts."

Qin Mobai raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Have you lived here since you were a child?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Yes, I’ve always lived here."

Qin Mobai looked at the few small dumplings in the bowl, seeming a bit distracted, "Never been to other places as a child? Or... do you have another name?"

Lou Xi didn’t know why Qin Mobai would ask such a question, but...

"I’ve always been here, never been to other places, and surely have no other name." Lou Xi looked at Qin Mobai, "What’s wrong? Why suddenly ask me this question?"

"Nothing." Qin Mobai said lightly, "I just heard you say you weren’t born to your parents, so I thought you might have another name."

Lou Xi shook her head. It seems like there’s really no other name. Plus, according to Lou Jian Country, she was left at their doorstep, and right at that time, they didn’t have children, so they adopted Lou Xi.

They never said anything about another name.

Qin Mobai seemed to have no appetite, but still finished all the small dumplings in front of him.

He recalled when he sent Lou Xi to the hospital earlier, the doctor said there was a small blood clot in her brain pressing on a nerve, possibly causing her to forget some things.

Although remembering those things is very unpleasant, at least he found Lou Xi, right?

After eating the small dumplings, Qin Mobai took out a banknote from his wallet and placed it on the table.

Upon seeing it, Aunt Zhao quickly said, "Why are you paying? I’m treating Xixi and her boyfriend. You’ll be distancing yourselves by doing this."

Unable to decline, Qin Mobai had to put the money back in his wallet.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Zhao, Lou Xi and Qin Mobai left the small restaurant together.

Out of nowhere, Su Lin appeared, greeted Lou Xi with a smile, but was blocked by Qin Mobai.

"Su Lin, find someone to renovate Aunt Zhao’s shop, and in the meantime, hire a reliable person to help her." Qin Mobai instructed one by one.

Su Lin noted it all down.

After he finished giving instructions, Qin Mobai turned to look at Lou Xi and asked, "Are you satisfied with these arrangements?"

Lou Xi nodded, nodding vigorously. If she’s not satisfied with this, what would count as satisfactory!

"Young Master Qin, you’ve thought this through thoroughly! Thank you!"

Qin Mobai chuckled softly, lowering his voice as he whispered in her ear, "The way to thank me is simple. It’s all about how you show it."
