On the road leaving Fuyuan Chunju, the atmosphere inside the car was oppressive.

Qin Mobai was still wearing hospital scrubs, only with a coat over them, and the heater inside the car was on full blast. After sitting for a while, Lou Xi’s back began to sweat.

However, Qin Mobai’s silent demeanor made Lou Xi not dare to say a single word, let alone take off her clothes.

She sensed the man’s anger, and also his concern for her.

But if it continued like this, Lou Xi couldn’t stand it. What she disliked the most was the silent treatment; it was better to just speak out if there was something to say.

"Mo Bai..." Lou Xi turned her head and spoke, "I’m sorry for making you worry."

The car’s interior was dimly lit, with only the streetlights from the road shining in, flickering intermittently, allowing Lou Xi to see the sullen expression on Qin Mobai’s face.

After Lou Xi finished speaking, she waited a long time without hearing a response from Qin Mobai.

She reached out, trying to place her hand on the back of Qin Mobai’s hand.

Without hesitation, the man withdrew his hand, crossing his hands over his knees, without even moving an eyelid.

Alright, Qin Mobai was really angry.

How was she supposed to get his forgiveness?

She knew her earlier actions had worried Qin Mobai, but now wasn’t everything alright?

"Mo Bai, I’m aware of what I’m doing, I can protect myself, so..."

"Shut up!" Qin Mobai said heavily, "Reflect on yourself properly, think about whether what you did was right."

Qin Mobai spoke up, but it was even more frightening than his silence.

He must have been furious to be so harsh with Lou Xi.

Lou Xi looked at Qin Mobai’s profile, his facial lines tight, chin slightly raised, with an air of superiority.

Having spent a lot of time with Qin Mobai, Lou Xi knew what kind of person he was, knew that he was extremely angry right now, and if she said anything it would only make him explode.

His health wasn’t good at the moment, and if he got so angry that he ended up in the operating room again, she’d be guilty.

So, Lou Xi kept quiet, sitting quietly in the back seat.

In Qin Mobai’s words, that was—reflect.

Deep reflection.

It turned out, while Lou Xi was deeply reflecting, Qin Mobai actually turned his head to look at Lou Xi, saying, "You really shut up?"

"..." Weren’t you the one who told me to shut up?

Lou Xi turned her head, blinking her eyes at Qin Mobai, not speaking.

Apparently, she had seriously implemented Qin Mobai’s "shut up" order.

"What did I say to you before you left?" Qin Mobai asked.

"...Don’t confront Xi Siwei head-on."

"Did those words go in one ear and out the other? Do you not care about them anymore?"

"I didn’t confront him head-on...I’m...using strategy."

Qin Mobai was so exasperated by Lou Xi’s words that he almost spat blood; did she call this using strategy?

He didn’t even know what to say to educate this reckless girl who didn’t know her limits!

"If I hadn’t come to find you tonight, do you know what could have happened?"

"He said he wouldn’t touch me, and if he really tried to, I would...fight to the death with him!"

"You still want to die heroically?" Qin Mobai snorted coldly, "Continue reflecting, and don’t think about leaving the hospital until you’ve done a deep review!"

"But if that’s the case, what if the fact that you’re not dead gets exposed? The culprit still hasn’t been caught..."

"Lou Xi," Qin Mobai looked deeply at Lou Xi, making her fall silent instantly, "I don’t want to risk your safety."
