Actually, just now, Lou Xi was wondering if the woman in Qin Mobai's office might be Shen Ruozhuo.
But she still held onto some wishful thinking, hoping that Qin Mobai wouldn't meet her privately, even though they were now officially engaged.
However, when Lou Xi actually saw Shen Ruozhuo in Qin Mobai's office, she felt a bit hesitant and at a loss.
She thought, if only she hadn't opened that door.
"Did I interrupt you? I just..." Lou Xi lifted the cake box she was holding, "just wanted to bring you a cake, I'll leave now."
She could be confident in front of Mi Beier, but in front of Shen Ruozhuo, Lou Xi had no confidence at all, feeling somewhat inadequate by comparison.
Perhaps that's why Lou Xi worked so hard to stand side by side with Qin Mobai. Only someone who's excellent enough has the right to stand by Qin Mobai.
Qin Mobai's originally somber expression softened quite a bit upon seeing Lou Xi, but his eyes darkened when he heard her say she was leaving.
