"Oh? Are you done talking?" Li Si interrupted coldly. As for the Li family, she was not interested in knowing more.
Tian Yaruo’s eyes grew warm with emotions. "Fine! Enjoy your al, then! Goodbye!" With that, she could no longer hold back her tears as she covered her mouth and ran toward the restroom.
Watching her retreating figure, Li Si felt a tinge of bitterness in her heart. However, the things Tian Yaruo had done, one after another, were simply too unforgivable.
Sure, she seed pitiful. But who wasn’t pitiful? Was she herself not pitiful? Back then, she had foolishly donated her bone marrow—what did she gain in return? So the saying, "Those who are pitiful must have sothing hateful about them," really was a tiless truth.
Leng Mochen placed his hand over hers on the table. "Sweetheart, it’s all in the past! Stop dwelling on those unhappy mories." He had watched her grow bit by bit—from a girl with no boundaries and unable to say no, to the person she was today. How could he not understand the reasons behind the change?
Li Si smiled wryly, her tone self-mocking. "Yes, it’s all in the past now! You don’t think she still holds a place in my heart, do you?"
Seeing the deep look in his eyes, she paused for a mont before adding, "My heart is small, only big enough for the people who treat well. As for those who’ve sched against , hurt , or shown malice, I’ll stay far away from them for the rest of my life.
So, you better be careful. If one day you hurt or treat poorly, I might never pay you any mind again!"
Since growing up, Li Si felt that, apart from becoming more ruthless, she had also beco more independent. If that day ever ca, she would leave without hesitation.
"I won’t!" Leng Mochen gripped her hand firmly, a peculiar sense of unease creeping over him, as if she might slip away from him at any mont.
"Even if one day I accidentally hurt you, you still can’t ignore . Say everything you feel out loud instead. Then punish as you see fit—scold or beat up, okay?"
"What are you saying? You’re making sound like so shrew, always yelling and hitting you." Li Si imagined the scenario in her head and shuddered. Was this supposed to turn her into one of those over-the-top girlfriends?
Leng Mochen shifted closer to her. "What? You can’t bear to do it?"
Li Si couldn’t help but shove him lightly. "All right, all right! Have you finished eating? Let’s go!"
"Okay!" After paying the bill, the two of them left together, narrowly missing Ye Duowei, who had hurried over again.
Standing in place, Ye Duowei stomped her foot in frustration. Her aunt had just returned to the table with reddened eyes, and after Ye Duowei pressed her repeatedly, she finally admitted she’d run into Li Si and her boyfriend.
Having seized the excuse of a trip to the restroom to confront Li Si, she now found the person gone.
Ever since she beca pregnant, Tian Yaru and Ye Cheng had been fighting constantly, leaving her with significantly less attention from them. As a result, most of the care she received ca from Tian Yaruo.
But just recently, so unbelievable things had happened. First, her mother was threatened with a knife in front of her company during broad daylight. Yet the assailant was only detained for a few days, fined a re few hundred, and then released without further punishnt.
She had gone to her father for help, intending to hold the person accountable, only to coincidentally discover that her father had a mistress.
In a panic, she rushed back to her grandmother’s house, intending to inform her mother to give her a heads-up.
Instead, she overheard a heated argunt between her aunt and her mother, and it was then that she discovered Li Si was actually her aunt’s biological daughter—and that it was soone related to Li Si’s grandmother who had threatened her mother with a knife.
How could she possibly swallow this rage? She had already been jealous of Li Si for her engagent to the Leng Family. And now, with this unfolding, why should Li Si have it all? Did Li Si think that because of her engagent to the Leng Family, she could rest easy without a care in the world?
She had to find a way to expose the truth about her to that Young Master Leng and make him abandon her. At that mont, Ye Duowei’s eyes were icy cold as she glared at the chair where Li Si had just been sitting. She was determined to make her pay—to crush her underfoot rcilessly!
Completely unaware of this, Li Si was in the car with Leng Mochen, who had driven her back to Jinyuan. It was her first visit. Perhaps because fewer people lived there, despite the luxurious décor, the entire villa felt cold and desolate, devoid of any sense of warmth.
"No wonder you don’t like living here!"
Li Si followed playfully behind him up the stairs. Glancing around from above, she concluded that her own ho was much better—at least it was cozy and full of life.
Leng Mochen turned back with a pitiful expression. "See? Now you know. So, stay here with ! Don’t you think I’m pitiful?"
She could hardly stand him acting this way. She deliberately shook her arms with exaggerated theatrics. "Could we not talk like this? You’re giving goosebumps all over!"
He didn’t care, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "From now on, I’m all yours. It’s ti you got to see the real !"
"But what if I still prefer your cool and aloof deanor? What then?" Li Si quipped as she followed him into his bedroom. Black and white—it was exactly what she’d expected. White walls, a black bed, and everything about the room exuded a cold, monochro palette, making it clear this was a man’s space.
