After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 370 - 371: I Hope You Can Become the Qin Family’s Young Madam
I don’t hate you, but that doesn’t mean I like you either.
Qin Mobai put one hand in his suit pants pocket, "I’ll let Su Lin continue the meeting; I have other things to attend to, so I’m leaving first."
He didn’t want to stay here for another moment, nor did he want to look at Shen Ruozhuo again.
Whenever he saw her, he would think of everything that happened in that little dark room fourteen years ago, the weak him, the red velvet cake offered to his mouth, the promised tomato egg noodles she was going to make for him...
Those became the only redemption in Qin Mobai’s life after the age of sixteen.
"Mo Bai!" Shen Ruozhuo grabbed Qin Mobai’s wrist, "Why are you avoiding me?"
Qin Mobai turned his back to Shen Ruozhuo, looking at the slender fingers holding his wrist.
"What are you feeling guilty about that you won’t even attend a meeting, that you really don’t want to see me? Fine, I’m leaving now. Qin Mobai, I don’t want to become just another woman in your heart like the others."
Because she is Shen Ruozhuo, a woman with dignity.
So, she let go of Qin Mobai and walked out of the meeting room before him.
Qin Mobai’s mind was chaotic, watching that ivory-white figure leave, he only felt a suffocating blockage in his chest.
Indeed, he fell in love with Lou Xi, fell in love with what he thought was the girl from fourteen years ago. So when faced with the girl who actually saved him that day, Qin Mobai was conflicted and struggling.
To admit he had fallen out of love, he wasn’t willing.
So while he still couldn’t figure it out, he could only pretend not to know Shen Ruozhuo was the girl from fourteen years ago.
Qin Mobai felt irritable, turned around and kicked the chair by the table, the chair flew out far and ended up spinning lonely.
...
Shen Ruozhuo was true to her word. She simply didn’t attend the meeting, went back to the meeting room to grab her bag, and left under everyone’s watchful eyes.
She left the Jia Sheng Group building and made a phone call.
Half an hour later, Shen Ruozhuo got out of the taxi, looked around, and walked into a tea house.
Inside the private room, someone was already seated, having prepared a pot of high-quality pre-rain Longjing tea for her.
"So, was the information I gave you useful?" The man sitting on the redwood chair wore a light smile, with half of his face hidden in shadows, making his features even more prominent.
It’s well known in Nancheng that the men of the Qin family are handsome, even if this man doesn’t carry the Qin family name.
"By trying to match me with your cousin, what do you get out of it?" Shen Ruozhuo looked at Xi Siwei across from her, always keeping her guard up.
Xi Siwei laughed, "Have some tea, it’s this year’s new batch, pre-rain Longjing. You artsy types like these things, don’t you?"
In the glass teacup, each light green leaf floated on the water or sank to the bottom, with a faint fragrance wafting in the air.
"I’m not even helping you; I just can’t stand that little girl. She tricked my cousin, and he wholeheartedly believes she’s the girl from fourteen years ago. But I think my cousin is just blinded by her beauty. Coincidentally, you were brought back by the Shen family from the Hai City Orphanage. If you weren’t, I wouldn’t have approached you."
Shen Ruozhuo’s face turned pale; what she disliked the most was people bringing up her time in Hai City fourteen years ago.
She wasn’t an orphan; she was the daughter of the Shen family. No one can claim she was brought from an orphanage!
"Personally, I’d like to see you become the Young Madam of the Qin family," Xi Siwei said leisurely.
That way, Lou Xi might possibly become his.
