Just as Lin Qianqian’s heart was pounding, Qin Mobai suddenly chuckled lightly, "If the fingerprint can’t unlock it, just enter the password. It’s not like you don’t know."

Lou Xi definitely knows Qin Mobai’s phone password, but Lin Qianqian doesn’t. If she gets exposed just because of a password, that person will surely give her a hard lesson.

"Have you been so busy that you even forgot the password? You claim to study finance, yet you’re really not into numbers." Qin Mobai seemed to see through Lin Qianqian’s embarrassment, "Your birthday is the password."

"Oh dear, you know I have a small brain capacity." Lin Qianqian said playfully, then smoothly unlocked Qin Mobai’s phone to call Ji Nanming.

After finding Ji Nanming’s number, Lin Qianqian wondered why Qin Mobai asked her to use his phone to make the call instead of Lou Xi’s phone.

Is Qin Mobai testing her?

But if it was a test, hasn’t she already exposed herself? She couldn’t unlock Qin Mobai’s phone with her fingerprint and didn’t even know the password...

So this impersonation really does have the risks that person mentioned, but her task is to resolve those risks. She needs to stay around Qin Mobai as much as possible, and over time, she will truly be able to replace Lou Xi’s position.

Thinking of this, Lin Qianqian could only continue pretending.

Ji Nanming’s phone quickly connected, "Brother, Mo Bai and I are about to arrive at the restaurant, where are you?"

There was a brief pause on the other end of the line, and then, "I’ll be there soon."

"Okay, see you then."

After Ji Nanming hung up the phone, he unconsciously furrowed his brows, remembering he had just told Lou Xi that morning not to call him "brother," as they weren’t related by blood, and it felt rather awkward.

Not sure if Lou Xi has a bad memory or what, she forgot by the afternoon.

Maybe it was the twelve flights of stairs she climbed in the morning that still left her with aftereffects.

...

"Since when did you start calling him ’brother’?" Qin Mobai drove steadily on the road, asking as if unintentionally.

Surely it was because of a guilty conscience, every question from Qin Mobai seemed like a test to Lin Qianqian, and she needed to carefully craft her answers to prevent her cover from being blown on just the first day of impersonating Lou Xi.

"He’s always been Mom’s son, if I keep just calling him by his name, it shows no respect at all."

Lin Qianqian gave herself full marks for that answer.

"True." Qin Mobai nodded slightly, "But I won’t call him that, we’re about the same age. I don’t want to, I don’t feel like it, I refuse."

Qin Mobai used three words to express his emotions, making it clear he’s really not going to call Ji Nanming "brother."

Lin Qianqian found this side of Qin Mobai inexplicably adorable.

On his handsome face was a faint hint of pride, not like the aloof and unreachable person seen in rare video materials; the current Qin Mobai feels much more personable.

Lin Qianqian suddenly envied Lou Xi for having such a husband, initially it was probably just about completing the task given by that person.

But now, Lin Qianqian feels that she might just smoothly sail on as Mrs. Qin Mobai, and over time, she will truly become Lou Xi, become Mrs. Qin Mobai.

Soon, the car stopped outside the restaurant, and Qin Mobai walked around to the passenger side to open the car door for Lin Qianqian.

Walking side by side with Qin Mobai feels truly wonderful.
