After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 255 - 256: The Path You’ve Taken (9)

The little boy quickly ran away, and Lou Xi hadn’t even gathered her thoughts yet. She only then realized that the hand held by Qin Mobai was already sweaty, making her a bit flustered, lost in the clouds.

"Nervous?" Qin Mobai held Lou Xi’s hand and started walking back.

"Aren’t you nervous?" Lou Xi thought of the time she went to meet Qin Mobai’s parents before. She was incredibly nervous, and now that she was taking Qin Mobai to meet her family, she was nervous again. Why is that?

Following Qin Mobai, Lou Xi didn’t understand why he could remain so calm.

"In a family, only one person can be nervous. If both are nervous, what then?" Qin Mobai said casually.

"When you put it that way, it makes sense." Lou Xi reconsidered and felt that if Qin Mobai could be so poised in the business world for so long, a little thing like this shouldn’t make him nervous. How else could he manage such a big company?

What warmed Lou Xi’s heart even more was that Qin Mobai, without realizing it, already considered her as part of his family.

Since childhood, Lou Xi always hoped to have her own family because she rarely felt familial love in the Lou Family. So she especially hoped for a happy and sweet atmosphere in her own family.

Qin Mobai looked at Lou Xi’s slightly upturned mouth and asked, "What’s so funny?"

Lou Xi shook her head, "Not telling you."

Some secrets are meant to be kept in the heart, then revealed to Qin Mobai throughout a lifetime.

Talking and laughing, the two of them soon arrived outside the Lou Family’s house, where two of Qin Mobai’s bodyguards stood by the river, and others stayed not far behind.

Whenever he was on a business trip, he always did this. He just never intended to let Lou Xi know, nor did he want to make it too obvious.

But now, someone thought Lou Xi was being kept, so he wanted the whole world to know that Lou Xi was cherished by him, loved dearly, and no one could bully her.

"Young Master Qin, why do you still have people following you when you come here? Are you afraid of being kidnapped? Our small town is very safe!" Lou Xi joked.

However, Qin Mobai didn’t laugh. His expression was particularly serious as he tightened his grip on Lou Xi’s hand and said, "When I was young, I was indeed kidnapped."

This was an event Qin Mobai hadn’t told Lou Xi about, so she didn’t know and was particularly surprised upon hearing it.

Besides being surprised, of course, she also felt nervous. Even though Qin Mobai was safe now, back then he must have endured a lot of hardships!

"So what happened next? How did you end up safe? Did your family pay the ransom?" Lou Xi thought that those who kidnapped Qin Mobai must have done it for money, so the end result was surely that the Qin Family paid, and Qin Mobai was safe.

Qin Mobai seemed to be thinking about something, then said, "No."

"Then how did you come out unharmed? Hurry and tell me, I’m so anxious!" Lou Xi was genuinely anxious, pulling Qin Mobai to get the full story. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Seeing Lou Xi’s slightly anxious look, Qin Mobai’s mouth turned into a smile.

Back then...

"A little angel saved me." Qin Mobai’s eyes were filled with such tenderness, making Lou Xi’s heart soften.

A little angel...

"Young Master Qin, you’re lying. There’s no such thing as a little angel in this world! Tell me, how did you end up safe? I really want to know." Lou Xi felt she knew too little about Qin Mobai’s past, making her feel like an inadequate girlfriend.
