After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 492 - 493 Innocence

Lou Xi felt much more at ease after receiving Qin Mobai’s confirmation.

At least Lou Xi wouldn’t have to be a mother who obstructs her child’s marriage in the future.

"Bai Lu and Lu Li have arrived." Qin Mobai looked at the entrance of the banquet hall and said lightly. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

It seemed today’s banquet would be lively, everyone who should and shouldn’t come, all came.

Lou Xi turned her head to look, the two at the entrance were dazzling, the man handsome, the woman beautiful. If anyone were more of a match, it would be Qin Mobai and Lou Xi.

But just as they appeared, whispers arose in the banquet hall.

"Mr. Lu brought a date today. Never heard he has a girlfriend, though there’s been talk of him being introduced to marriage prospects earlier."

"It must be more than just an ordinary date. This is his grandmother’s birthday banquet, he wouldn’t bring just any woman back, would he?"

"True, but this woman looks familiar, though I can’t recall which family’s daughter she is."

"Do you have poor eyesight? Isn’t she the bridesmaid from Mr. Qin’s wedding last month?"

"Oh, I remember now. Seems like she’s a friend of the bride."

"In today’s wealthy circles, the threshold has lowered, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get in. I should hurry and emigrate, no point staying in Nancheng, it loses class."

...

The subtle whispers reached Lou Xi’s ears, yet she wasn’t bothered, having long mastered the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt skills.

But Qin Mobai couldn’t stand hearing anything bad about Lou Xi.

He was just about to politely "educate" the two when Lou Xi pulled him back.

"It’s okay, let them say what they like," Lou Xi didn’t want to cause a scene at someone else’s birthday banquet; it was best to go through it peacefully.

Qin Mobai noticed the genuinely calm expression on Lou Xi’s face. He initially thought she would feel aggrieved, but the outcome was surprising.

The strength of Lou Xi’s inner self made him greatly respect her.

"I’ll listen to you," Qin Mobai agreed outwardly with Lou Xi.

But while Lou Xi was focused on Lu Li and Bai Lu, he took out his phone and sent a message to Su Lin.

Qin Mobai: Expose all the scandals of the Zhang Family that you investigated earlier.

Qin Mobai was a man who wouldn’t allow his loved ones to be wronged, anyone who dared speak ill of Lou Xi had to pay the price.

In the lavish and grand banquet hall, amidst the clinking glasses and luxury, Lou Xi noticed the slight nervousness on Bai Lu’s face.

Just like Alice wandering into the Immortal Realm, she was filled with wonder and surprise at everything.

Lou Xi saw a glimpse of herself from a month ago; she believed Bai Lu would traverse this path more smoothly than herself.

"Mo Bai, will the Lu Family agree to Bai Lu and Lu Li being together?"

Qin Mobai raised an eyebrow and said, "When Lu Li graduated from the academy, I happened to be back from the United States, and he followed me into business."

"Meaning he went against his family’s wishes to go into business with you?"

"Yes."

"So he won’t comply with his family’s arrangements."

"Like you?" Lou Xi smiled softly.

"Not the same," Qin Mobai denied, "I am unique."

This man’s arrogance and pride were paramount.

However, it was this regal presence that made Lou Xi increasingly fond of Qin Mobai.

"Be good, don’t look at me like that, I can’t take it," Qin Mobai said in a deep voice, he couldn’t stand it when Lou Xi looked at him with innocent, dreamy eyes.
