After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor

Chapter 728 - 709-710 Praise

Qin Mobai was driving the car, but he realized they weren’t heading towards the Qin Mansion.

"Where are we going?" Lou Xi looked at the somewhat unfamiliar yet familiar street view outside; this road is...

"Half Mountain Manor." Qin Mobai was focused on driving, his mind clear, because the person he cared about was in the car, so he couldn’t be careless.

Lou Xi thought about how after she and Qin Mobai returned from the Capital, she really hadn’t had a chance to meet Shen Youran. At first, it was because of the old lady’s funeral, then Lou Xi was busy sorting out matters within the Qin Family and the hotel’s sales department, truly having no time to visit her.

This morning at Ji Nanming’s office, he mentioned that Shen Youran would be returning to Monaco in a couple of days, so if they didn’t meet now, who knows when they could next.

Only now did Lou Xi start considering these things, but it seemed Qin Mobai had thought about them a long time ago.

"I called Mom earlier, knew she was heading back to Monaco soon, thought you’d like a chance to meet. Plus, ever since we returned from the Capital, we haven’t officially visited her, which is wrong of us as the younger generation."

"You’re more thoughtful than I am." Lou Xi sighed; perhaps she still felt the sudden appearance of a mother was somewhat unfamiliar. After so many years of making her own decisions, she hadn’t thought to say anything to the elders when deciding matters.

Qin Mobai’s lips slightly curved upward, "I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve walked on roads."

"You mean you’re many years older than me, huh!" Lou Xi stated the implication of Qin Mobai’s words.

However, Qin Mobai seemed to be expressing something different, not that he was older than Lou Xi...

Hence, this man, called an "old man," slightly frowned, clearly displeased with Lou Xi talking about age.

Seeing Qin Mobai’s expression slowly turn somber, Lou Xi immediately reflected on her words, hmm... it seemed she’d struck a nerve.

"Actually... many young girls nowadays prefer that mature and charming, steady kind of man, like our own Young Master Qin! Luckily, your office floor is filled with male employees; otherwise, I’d have to worry about young girls throwing themselves at you!" Lou Xi cleverly hinted to Qin Mobai that he’s very sought-after, and the older he gets, the more so!

Upon hearing this, Qin Mobai’s frown slowly vanished.

Anyway, Qin Mobai believed everything Lou Xi said, no matter how sweet; as long as she said it, he liked to listen.

"Hm, what other advantages are there? Tell me all of them." Qin Mobai normally disliked flattery, but Lou Xi’s words were music to his ears.

Lou Xi felt she was digging herself a hole and then falling into it.

Pros and cons...

"Now listen carefully, ’cause I’ll ask you to repeat it later!" Lou Xi said seriously.

Quite the stance, Qin Mobai chuckled softly.

"Firstly, you’re older than me, with more life experience. For many things I don’t understand, you can share your experiences; you’re also an Economics expert, and when the college professor rushes through a lecture, I can come home and ask you..."

"Is it only your academic prowess that’s an advantage?" Qin Mobai interrupted Lou Xi.

"Well, not just that, you..." Suddenly, Lou Xi blushed, wanting to say something but hesitating.

"What?"

Lou Xi turned away, not looking at Qin Mobai, murmuring softly, "...exceptionally good."

Lou Xi spoke too quietly, Qin Mobai didn’t hear clearly.

"What did you say? Say it again, I didn’t hear clearly." A red light appeared, Qin Mobai stopped the car just before the line, turning to look at the now blushing Lou Xi in the passenger seat.

Under Qin Mobai’s scorching gaze, Lou Xi really felt embarrassed, so she quickly repeated.

This time, Qin Mobai understood clearly, this girl said he was rich in life experience and expertise.

He coughed lightly to clear his throat, then said earnestly, "Thank you for the compliment."

"Hm?" Lou Xi turned, incredulous, looking at Qin Mobai, "What did you say?"

This time, Lou Xi didn’t hear clearly, her face flushed as red as a beet.

Being teased, Lou Xi’s face grew even redder!

"Oh dear, green light, you better drive, the car behind us is honking!" Lou Xi quickly pushed Qin Mobai, who was getting closer, indicating that it was a green light.

Indeed, cars behind were honking, so Qin Mobai stopped teasing, started the car, and sped off like an arrow.

The man’s mood improved, and suddenly, Qin Mobai said something out of the blue, leaving Lou Xi puzzled.

This man!

Lou Xi thought of this and cast a glare at Qin Mobai.

"Qin Mobai!" Lou Xi protested, calling out his name; this man truly knew no bounds!

"..." Lou Xi didn’t want to continue the conversation with Qin Mobai, as there was no benefit to be gained.

Fortunately, Half Mountain Manor was right ahead.
