Chapter 38: Chapter 39: Low Spirits, Grave Expression

"Lou Xi!" Rong Zhi’s expression was very serious, like that of a parent.

"Brother Rong, you’ve really misunderstood. It’s because my money and luggage were lost, so Young Master Qin took me out to buy some things. There’s really nothing between me and Young Master Qin, you’ve really misunderstood. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?" Lou Xi explained, letting out a long breath. If Rong Zhi still didn’t believe her after this, Lou Xi really didn’t know how to prove her innocence.

Embarrassment flashed across Rong Zhi’s handsome face as he briefly pondered, realizing he had been rash.

How could he think Lou Xi would have any sort of relation with this man?

But the man across from him had a deep expression. From a man’s intuition, his relationship with Lou Xi was definitely not as simple as just fellow students, and he didn’t feel comfortable leaving Lou Xi with him.

Quickly, Rong Zhi pulled out his wallet, "Thank you for taking care of Xixi’s matters, how much are these things? I’ll pay for her."

"Brother Rong, no need, really no need!" Lou Xi hurriedly stopped Rong Zhi; how could she let Rong Zhi pay for her?

Even if she were to repay Qin Mobai, it would be with her own money, though she didn’t know when she would be able to.

"Are you really going to be so particular with me?" Rong Zhi said, "This gentleman is someone you just met, and you’ve already owed him money. That’s not good."

Lou Xi thought about it and felt that Rong Zhi seemed to make sense, after all, she owed money, if she owed Rong Zhi...

No, no, she couldn’t owe Rong Zhi, absolutely not!

"Rong..."

"Mr. Rong," hearing Lou Xi call him Brother Rong, he must have the surname Rong, "it’s a total of two hundred and thirty thousand."

Qin Mobai spoke lightly, and within those few seconds beforehand, he could determine that Rong Zhi indeed had some money, but definitely not the kind of person who could easily give away two hundred and thirty thousand.

Sure enough, when Qin Mobai mentioned two hundred and thirty thousand, Rong Zhi’s expression froze for a moment. He looked at Lou Xi in disbelief, as if asking why she owed him so much money.

Lou Xi was also confused, the previous hospital bill was twenty-three thousand, do these clothes total two hundred and seven thousand?

He looked at Qin Mobai with astonishment, but the latter had a perfectly natural expression.

She returned to her senses, turned to Rong Zhi, and said, "Brother Rong, I’ll handle this matter myself. Just don’t tell my parents, you can rest assured, I absolutely won’t do any of those things you fear, please trust me."

It’s only been half a year, but Rong Zhi felt Lou Xi had changed significantly.

For him now, two hundred and thirty thousand is indeed a considerable expenditure, and presently, he is ashamed of his unpreparedness.

"Lou Xi, get in the car." Qin Mobai said lightly, but with words carrying undeniable authority and compulsion.

Lou Xi nodded towards Rong Zhi, "Brother Rong, I have to return to school, let’s keep in touch later."

Rong Zhi’s brows slightly furrowed. As Lou Xi was about to leave, he quickly slipped a business card into her hand, "This is my current phone number, the one from home is not often used, call this one if you need anything."

So the previous number wasn’t often used...

"Alright." Lou Xi put the business card into her coat pocket, "Goodbye, Brother Rong."

Rong Zhi watched Lou Xi get in the car, his brows knotting more deeply.

Qin Mobai took a deep look at Rong Zhi before getting in the car.

Once in the car, he suddenly stepped on the accelerator, and the vehicle quickly left Fifth Avenue.

The atmosphere in the car wasn’t great; Lou Xi lowered her head, lost in thought, emotions low.

Qin Mobai slightly pressed his thin lips, his expression solemn.
