Li Si returned ho, and Leng Mochen’s expression finally eased upon noticing her arrival.
Earlier, when Li Si and the child weren’t ho, the entire villa felt empty and unusually quiet.
That kind of solitary, lonely feeling was really unsettling.
Later, Leng Ning stopped by, bringing so toys she had bought for the child. After chatting for a while, things improved slightly.
Buding had been out for a few hours and had taken a brief nap in the car. Now, his big, dazed eyes blinked open as he looked around. Spotting the cute Little Buding, Leng Ning imdiately ca closer. "Buding! Look at Auntie! Do you like the toys Auntie bought for you?"
Leng Ning, on a whim, had bought many colorful, fun toys for the child. But Buding didn’t seem appreciative and only made little sounds, looking for his mom.
Sister Ding warmly smiled from the side and said, "Madam, Buding is hungry!"
Li Si couldn’t help but laugh. "Xiao Ning! Now you understand—milk is the real mom! Co on, follow upstairs so we can have a chat!"
Leng Mochen scratched his nose and silently walked into the study. ’Son, ever since you ca along, my status has hit rock bottom!’
anwhile, Li Si fed Buding while chatting with an enthusiastic and sparkling-eyed Leng Ning.
Leng Ning was exquisitely dressed today, with her features glowing with tenderness and charm.
Li Si teased, "Xiao Ning! Do you have sothing you want to tell ?"
Could it be that Leng Ning had t soone special? That would be fantastic, a great way to show Lei Ming—it’s not just him who can move on quickly; Leng Ning can do even better!
Leng Ning shyly glared at her. "Sister-in-law, you really can’t be fooled by anything! I’ve recently t a man, and he’s... he’s really wonderful!"
"Oh my! Our little Ning is shy now! Quickly, tell all about him! What does he do? What does he look like? I’m so curious!"
Just as she was finishing her sentence, she noticed Buding’s eyes were slowly closing, though his little mouth was still busy feeding.
Leng Ning lowered her voice too. "He’s a Beijing local. After graduating high school, he went abroad with his father for further studies. He only returned to the country last year. We t at a mutual friend’s gathering, and it turns out he knows the brother of one of my classmates. After hanging out a few tis, we got acquainted.
Then, he began pursuing ! He said it was love at first sight—sending flowers, giving gifts. Now everyone on my social dia knows he’s chasing !"
"Wow!" Li Si excitedly exclaid. "Soone’s feeling shy now!"
Li Si truly felt happy for Leng Ning. Ever since the situation with Lei Ming, although Leng Ning claid she’d moved on and was still as cheerful as before, the vibrant liveliness she now displayed had been absent for a long ti.
Leng Ning paused, placing her hand over her flushed cheeks. "Honestly, he wouldn’t even need to chase —I feel the sa way about him!"
"Feeling mutual is the key! Xiao Ning, be brave and let yourself love! Perhaps he is truly your prince charming!"
Li Si could see the spark of emotions flickering in Leng Ning’s eyes.
Leng Ning understood Li Si’s sentint. She looked at her earnestly and said, "Sister-in-law, sotis I really get scared. Scared of falling wholeheartedly into a relationship, only to end up hurting again!
His mother passed away during childbirth, so he grew up with just his father. In many ways, he’s like a child longing for love. Plus, we connect on so many levels and have so much in common. This ti, I feel like I’ll never find soone who matches this well!"
Li Si gently patted Buding’s back, noticing he had fallen asleep. Carefully, she placed him in the crib and covered him with a thin blanket.
Then, she pulled Leng Ning’s hand and sat back down on the sofa. "Xiao Ning! Since you’re sure about him, take a leap of faith and love him wholeheartedly! Soday, bring him to et us so we can check him out for you!"
Li Si was genuinely thrilled that Leng Ning had been able to find soone compatible so quickly.
However, regarding what she said, Li Si remained cautious until she saw the man in person.
Especially after Lei Ming’s incident, Li Si was particularly attentive to the man’s family and background.
"Of course! I’ve already thought it through. This ti, I’ll first introduce him to you and my brother. If he passes your review, then we’ll et Mom and the others!" Leng Ning affectionately linked arms with Li Si. "If he can’t even pass you guys, then there’s no point continuing with him! But I’m sure he’ll clear it easily! You’ll see once you et him!"
Li Si raised her brows and smiled. "So confident, huh? Now I’m curious! How does this person look, Xiao Ning? You seem very certain?"
Leng Ning pulled out her phone and proudly showed Li Si, "It’s hard to describe, so let show you his photo! But be careful not to fall for him! You already have my brother!"
Was she implying that this man was better than her brother?
Li Si pretended to be angry, lightly tapping Leng Ning’s forehead. "You little brat! I must take a good look to see if he’s worthy of my sister!"
She took Leng Ning’s phone and saw a photo of a man seemingly in the middle of drinking sothing. His neat hair, clear eyes, and subtle smile suggested he might’ve been looking at Leng Ning!
The light blue shirt complented his fair skin, but there wasn’t a hint of femininity; instead, he seed even more handso and charismatic.
"Wow! This guy is not bad!" Li Si genuinely comnted. This man made a great first impression, and she even felt they might make a good-looking couple.
Leng Ning, as if she’d just received an impressive award, smugly said, "Of course! Just look at who he’s dating!"
"Pfft!" Li Si almost spit out the tea she had just brought to her lips!
Li Si jokingly said, "Are you serious, Xiao Ning? Just so you know, there are people who look good in photos but are average in person. And there are people who aren’t photogenic at all but look ten tis better in reality. You better hope your guy isn’t the first type!"
Leng Ning retorted indignantly, "He’s definitely the second type! This is just taken with my phone. Imagine if I used a professional cara—the effect would be even better!"
"Haha! Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. But after all this talk, I still don’t know his na!"
"Sister-in-law, you’re so naughty! His na is Jin Yichen..."
After Leng Ning left, Li Si checked on the still-sleeping Buding, adjusting his blanket before heading out to find her dear husband.
At that mont, Leng Mochen’s face clearly carried an expression of frustration and unfulfilled desire!
"Still working?" Li Si leaned closer to him, noticing his slightly grumpy mood and imdiately tried to coax him with playful charm.
Leng Mochen felt the sweet scent of milk mixed with fruit wafting over him, and a certain relative of his instantly stood to attention!
Could it be that he’d gone too long without physical affection?
Why did he now feel a reaction just from catching the scent of her body?
His face turned even darker.
Li Si was puzzled. She thought she’d only been slightly late coming ho and couldn’t recall doing anything that might’ve made him unusually angry.
"Honey! What’s wrong? Xiao Ning’s already left, so why aren’t you talking to ?"
No worries—if she put in enough effort, even an iron rod could be polished into a needle!
She refused to believe she couldn’t cheer up Chief Housekeeper Leng using all her tricks!
Leng Mochen felt all the heat surging to one particular area of his body and gritted his teeth, muttering coldly, "Why did you co ho so late? If I hadn’t called, you might not even be back by now!"
He regretted the words the mont they left his mouth. That wasn’t what he ant to say at all!
Li Si stared at him curiously, noting his odd expression. "Are you feeling unwell? Why does your voice sound strange? Honey, even if you didn’t call, I’d still find a reason to co ho!
After taking the child swimming, Zhang Shan wanted to chat with her for a while. I thought you wouldn’t be back so early, so I stayed with her for a bit." (To be continued.
