After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 192 - 193: Her Fiancé (4)

Lou Xi’s face was full of apologetic expressions; she had been feeling down for days, and later could not find Lou Nan. Nothing seemed to go right.

Lou Xi felt like a failure.

She was very dejected, sitting opposite Qin Mobai, "It’s not just about a phone, because that phone was the first gift Young Master Qin gave me. If I can’t even protect that, what can I do?"

She dared not feel wronged, after all, she had no grounds to feel aggrieved in this matter.

"Young Master Qin, I really feel like I can’t do anything right." Although the table was filled with delicious food, Lou Xi had no appetite, "I used to think that as long as my grades were good, many things would resolve themselves, but the older I get, the more I realize that grades don’t mean much."

As she spoke, Lou Xi looked up at Qin Mobai, knowing that such an excellent man would surely not understand what she was saying.

It’s just... Things he could achieve without any effort might be things that Lou Xi could spend a lifetime striving for yet still never attain. That sense of powerlessness pressed down on her, making her efforts seem futile.

For example, when she tried to find a school for Lou Nan today, if Qin Mobai had stepped in, those schools would have surely accepted Lou Nan even if his grades weren’t good.

But when she went, she found nothing but rejection all day.

"I desperately want to make myself outstanding, to be worthy enough to stand by your side, at least to narrow the gap between us. But no matter how hard I try, even if I soar, I can’t catch up to your pace. You take one step, I might need a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand steps. Young Master Qin, do you understand that feeling?" Lou Xi asked Qin Mobai.

Qin Mobai handed a tissue to Lou Xi to wipe away her tears, which had silently started to fall. Her emotions seemed completely out of control.

"I don’t understand," Qin Mobai said truthfully.

But the result of his honest words was Lou Xi, after hesitating for a second, suddenly burst into tears.

Qin Mobai’s brows furrowed slightly, yet he truly did not understand Lou Xi’s feelings.

"Lou Xi, you don’t need to strive for anything. Whatever you want, I can give you. You don’t need to try to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with me. If you think I’m standing too high, I can come down," Qin Mobai said sincerely to Lou Xi.

Lou Xi looked at Qin Mobai in a daze, moved by his last words.

—If she felt he stood too high, he could come down.

A man who stood atop a pinnacle spoke these sincere words to Lou Xi, making her feel nothing but moved.

"Young Master Qin, you don’t need to come down. I will work hard to climb up, really!" Lou Xi said earnestly, "You’ve given so much for me, if I give nothing in return, you’d suffer in this relationship," Lou Xi shook her head.

"You think you’re troubling me?" Qin Mobai slightly raised his brows, realizing something from her words.

Lou Xi remained silent because she really felt she was troubling Young Master Qin.

"Lou Xi, look up and look at me," Qin Mobai said sternly, forcing Lou Xi to look at him, "Remember, you are Qin Mobai’s woman. I never find anything about you a bother. If you ever feel you’re troubling me, it only proves I’m not doing well enough, making you feel less trusting."

But, Young Master Qin had already done very well!
