After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 417 - 418 Feeling a Bit Hurt Inside

"Cousin, I think we shouldn’t be chatting here; this is the ladies’ restroom." Lou Xi tries to appear a bit more composed.

Xi Siwei glanced at the empty restroom and didn’t see any issue here, "It’s rare to find such peace here. I just have some things I need to discuss with you alone."

"I don’t have anything that needs discussing with you alone!"

Xi Siwei emphasized the "alone," while Lou Xi emphasized the "discuss." She really had nothing to talk about with Xi Siwei.

"If necessary, I think Mo Bai should know what’s happening now." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"What I want to discuss with you is actually about Cousin." Xi Siwei said, "I’m quite surprised that Cousin ended up marrying you, because once he marries someone without any family background, his path to becoming an heir would be much harder since you can’t offer him any support."

No one would complain about a strong alliance.

Qin Mobai chose her, someone with no background, which inevitably lost him a strong competitive edge.

"So, you’ve lost a competitor!" Lou Xi didn’t understand Xi Siwei’s intent, so she could only play it safe with him.

"Then I can assume you’re helping me." Xi Siwei engaged in wordplay with Lou Xi.

Lou Xi didn’t like men as scheming and deep as Xi Siwei, trying to extract information from her.

"I’m not helping you. My marriage with Mo Bai was the result of careful consideration. And even if Mo Bai ultimately chose to be with me with no background, he won’t lose to you; he won’t lose to anyone." Lou Xi declared to Xi Siwei, speaking up.

She was defending her husband, refusing to shrink back when someone challenged her and Qin Mobai.

Her fierce and proud stance made this man in front of her see her in a different light.

Shen Ruozhuo said Lou Xi was just an empty-headed fool.

But Xi Siwei knew Lou Xi wasn’t; she just hid her most guarded side and would bristle and protect herself and those she cared about when faced with danger.

Only, Xi Siwei didn’t want the person Lou Xi aimed to protect to be Qin Mobai.

"Cousin, if you have nothing else, could you please leave the ladies’ restroom!" Lou Xi emphasized the ’ladies’ restroom,’ reminding Xi Siwei of how inappropriate it was for him to be here.

Xi Siwei knew this was such an inappropriate occasion, but he couldn’t help it.

Seeing Lou Xi and Qin Mo appearing together, he couldn’t control himself.

"Lou Xi, do you really not remember me?" Xi Siwei, a son of heaven no less than Qin Mobai, wondered why he left no impression on Lou Xi.

Lou Xi carefully looked at Xi Siwei, wondering what she had forgotten about him?

"Your sophomore year." Xi Siwei offered Lou Xi a hint.

Lou Xi looked at Xi Siwei again, suddenly feeling he was somewhat familiar.

She recalled during her sophomore year, she and some seniors organized a debate competition, and one of the main coordinators seemed to resemble Xi Siwei.

"Was it you?" Lou Xi was somewhat surprised because she couldn’t recall this person at all.

Seeing Lou Xi’s shocked expression, Xi Siwei felt a bit hurt inside.

A man as charming and handsome as he actually left no impression in Lou Xi’s eyes.
