Regarding Lou Xi’s words, Qin Mobai had no objections.

"Okay, I love you a little more." Qin Mobai gently stroked Lou Xi’s soft hair.

Lou Xi raised her head and gave a shallow smile, knowing that Qin Mobai would surely agree with her.

He’s still a patient, right? A patient!

Shouldn’t he act like a patient? Driving around all the time, isn’t he afraid of getting hurt worse?

"I’m not joking, I’m serious." Qin Mobai really seemed earnest, as if his posture could prove he loved Lou Xi more! "When I’m better...

"If you keep this up, I’m leaving!" Lou Xi pretended to be leaving, but she truly intended to go.

"Goodbye." Qin Mobai even cooperated by saying goodbye — truly awesome!

They should’ve said goodbye earlier, but they delayed until now — clearly, they were reluctant to part.

Lou Xi hoped this period would pass quickly, so she could be openly together with Qin Mobai and do as she pleased.

"Then am I really leaving?"

"Be careful on the road, remember, don’t confront Xi Siwei head-on. If it’s something you can’t handle, leave it to Sinian and the others." Qin Mobai repeatedly reminded her, simply because he was worried.

"You’re underestimating me!" Lou Xi slightly lifted her chin. "Now I can stand on my own, a true strong woman!"

Previously, she always said she needed to be strong and didn’t want to stay under Qin Mobai’s wings, but Qin Mobai gave her two hundred percent of his love, so she didn’t need to be strong.

Then Qin Mobai got shot, and the heavy burden fell on her shoulders.

Whether taking initiative or doing nothing, Lou Xi must learn to grow, learn to be strong, and learn to support the family when Qin Mobai isn’t around.

"I’ve never underestimated you." Because he knew she had resilience and could move forward despite difficulties.

Upon hearing her husband’s praise, Lou Xi’s lips slightly curled up, proudly as if her tail would wag.

"Behave and wait for me in the hospital, no talking to nurses beyond three sentences, no physical contact, and no eye contact! I have my spies here, mind your behavior!"

It was finally time to say goodbye. Lou Xi quickly turned her head away, not wanting Qin Mobai to see her gloomy emotions.

Qin Mobai released her hand and watched her silhouette vanish.

During these times, more so than Lou Xi, Qin Mobai hoped they would pass quickly.

After Lou Xi left, Qin Mobai asked a nurse for a phone to make a video call with Fu Sinian.

The phone was placed on the table in front of the hospital bed, the camera aimed at Qin Mobai’s face which still looked handsome despite its sickly appearance.

On the other side of the camera, Fu Sinian and Lu Li both expressed that apparently, after getting shot, Qin Mobai had become more ruggedly handsome — truly, life was unfair!
