Chapter 39: Chapter 040: Disagreeing Over Money

The car drove all the way, and when Lou Xi looked up, she found that it was actually heading towards the school.

She had already told Qin Mobai earlier that the school had forced her to leave the dormitory. It was nearly evening, what was he doing driving her back now?

"Young Master Qin, I can’t stay at the school tonight; I’ve been expelled from the dormitory."

"Didn’t you just say you wanted to go back to school?" Qin Mobai said indifferently, with no expression on his face.

When did she say she wanted to go back to school? She...

Remembered, during her conversation with Rong Zhi earlier, she told him she wanted to return to school.

"I told Brother Rong that to deceive him; if he found out the school expelled me, he would definitely tell my parents, and I don’t want them to worry." Lou Xi explained softly; she was really exhausted today and didn’t even have the strength to speak loudly.

She wondered if she was seeing things; Lou Xi saw a fleeting expression on Qin Mobai’s face—was it relief?

"Brother Rong? Are you close with him?" Qin Mobai asked while turning the car around to head towards the city.

"We are both from Yu Zhou; we are neighbors, so I’ve always called him brother." A neighbor’s brother is always a synonym for something nice.

When she mentioned it, Lou Xi’s face showed no hint of happiness, rather more disappointment.

"You like him." Qin Mobai suddenly realized this issue, and his mood became... well, unpleasant.

He didn’t even know why he felt unhappy, he just felt annoyed by everything he saw outside the car.

"Don’t talk nonsense!" Suddenly, Lou Xi reacted very strongly, "I’m just neighbors with him, don’t make stuff up!"

The more intense the reaction, the more there might be an issue.

Qin Mobai’s hand gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles seemed to turn white, showing how much force he was using!

"You know clearly in your heart."

Lou Xi found Qin Mobai’s words perplexing and wanted to refute, but then suddenly thought of something, "Young Master Qin, this is my personal matter; I shouldn’t have to explain it to you, and you don’t have the right to inquire."

No right?

"Mm, I really have no right." His voice was cold, carrying a sense of detachment, "You heard just now, your hospital fees including these things total 230,000."

Bringing up money at odds like this? Young Master Qin, are you serious?

Lou Xi opened her mouth wide enough to fit an egg inside.

"I..." Those items weren’t something I necessarily needed; you decided to use your card..."

"Then write another IOU." Qin Mobai’s voice was still indifferent.

Actually, he wasn’t even that angry, at least when Rong Zhi wanted to pay for Lou Xi just now, she refused.

In her heart, she felt she could owe him, but not Rong Zhi.

Their positions in her heart were just different.

She clearly understood this, but whether she could clearly discern in terms of emotions was another matter.

Qin Mobai’s brow was still furrowed.

Lou Xi thought she had done something to upset him but thought over it and decided she hadn’t done anything to make him angry.

So she quickly pulled out paper and a pen from her backpack and wrote down the IOU.

"Today Lou Xi, due to misfortune, has lost all assets and borrows 230,000 from Qin Mobai, Young Master Qin, to be fully repaid with interest according to bank rates when earning money in the future. Borrower: Lou Xi. Lender: Qin Mobai." After reading this out, Lou Xi turned to ask Qin Mobai, "Young Master Qin, how do you find this?"

"The term, what if you can’t pay it back for a lifetime?"

"How could anyone not pay it back in a lifetime!"

"As long as the money isn’t cleared, you can’t leave my sight for even a day!"

"Young Master Qin, you’re domineering!"
