After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor

Chapter 588 - 569: Nothing Happened Between That Woman and Me

Lou Xi was placed on the bed by Qin Mobai; her current condition still required bed rest.

"You lie down first, I’ll go get a hot towel to wipe your face." Qin Mobai had pushed aside all his work these days to meticulously take care of Lou Xi.

"Okay."

Qin Mobai had just stood up straight when he heard his phone ringing in his pocket. He took it out and saw it was a message.

Without thinking much, he opened it, only to have several photos pop up—pictures of him and Li Ruolan at the exhibition hall.

It was too late to put the phone away; Lou Xi saw it.

"Lou Xi, listen to my explanation." Qin Mobai showed a bit of agitation on his face.

This was the first time Lou Xi saw such an expression on Qin Mobai, as if he was afraid she wouldn’t believe him.

She was silent for a moment, not speaking, as if waiting for his explanation.

"Nothing happened between me and that woman. I was drugged, and the exhibition hall was locked from the outside. She approached me on her own. I smashed the window with a chair to get out. Nothing happened between us." Qin Mobai was genuinely explaining.

Worried that Lou Xi, now emotionally unstable, would completely disbelieve him after seeing these pictures.

Then, he saw a light smile on Lou Xi’s face.

This was the first smile on Lou Xi’s face since they lost the child.

"How’s the injury on your arm?" Lou Xi asked, concerned for his arm’s wound, not caring about the photos she had seen days ago.

"It’s pretty much healed." Qin Mobai brushed it off, "You believe me, really, nothing happened with that woman!"

It seemed Qin Mobai was just short of swearing an oath.

Lou Xi simply said, "Did I ever say I didn’t believe you?"

"Hmm?" Qin Mobai was momentarily puzzled, even the smartest man becomes dull in face of emotional matters.

"I saw these pictures on my phone two days ago, then deleted them. I just didn’t expect someone had kept a backup," Lou Xi said casually, as if talking about the weather turning sunny, "If I didn’t believe you, I would’ve caused a scene two days ago, and now wouldn’t have come home with you."

The heart that had just been lifted in Qin Mobai, instantly relaxed.

Lou Xi trusted him, so his explanation just now...

"Why did you listen to my explanation if you already believed me?" Qin Mobai raised an eyebrow and asked.

"You used to be like this too."

Lou Xi was referring to when she thought Qin Mobai misunderstood her situation with Rong Zhi, fearing that Qin Mobai wouldn’t believe her, she would explain in detail.

Because you care, you explain.

And because you trust, explanation isn’t necessary.

"Naughty." Qin Mobai reached out and ruffled Lou Xi’s hair.

Lou Xi, however, just pulled Qin Mobai’s hand down, rolled up his shirt sleeve, and looked at the bandaged wound.

Even though this man was injured, he insisted on holding her these days, not knowing how many times these wounds had reopened.

Thinking of this, Lou Xi felt a pang for Qin Mobai and she lowered her head, gently kissed his wound.

Qin Mobai’s heart tremored, Lou Xi’s action really struck a nerve! He reversed his hand and caressed her cheek.

"Mobai, Mom said she wants to reclaim the inheritance that Grandpa left her back then. Uncle Ji’s lawyer team is all foreigners, perhaps... you could help Mom," Lou Xi looked up, meeting Qin Mobai’s gaze.

"How is half enough? Why not take the remaining half as well?" Qin Mobai gave a light laugh.
