"What are you afraid of? I’m kissing my own wife! We won’t see each other tomorrow, so can’t I get a little closer now?"
Leng Mochen raised an eyebrow as he spoke, his eyes filled with tenderness for her. This little heartless girl, she had no idea how much her rosy lips had captivated him.
"Fine!" Li Si’s eyes were also brimming with affection, and she took the initiative to kiss the corner of his lips.
Soone’s dissatisfaction instantly vanished without a trace.
After a mont, Leng Mochen ntioned that he had just returned from Leng Mansion, where many relatives and friends had gathered. Li Si, thinking they would et at the wedding anyway, didn’t ask much about it.
Instead, she brought up the matter of Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai coming. "Xu Er must have said sothing to Aunt Hui and the others; otherwise, how could they still be bringing up Shasha at the dinner table? But in the end, as parents, they really can’t force their will on their children. Everything still depends on what Shasha wants. The three-year tifra seems non-negotiable!"
Leng Mochen chuckled playfully. "Xu Er was telling before that once we got married, it would be his turn next. Looks like the outco is entirely different from what he expected. Soone’s going to be heartbroken!"
Thinking of Xu Er’s pitiful expression, Li Si mischievously joined Leng Mochen in laughing.
After the laughter, she composed her expression. "I heard Shasha’s dad ntion that he saw my grandma and the others on the plane! Have they also co to Beijing?"
At the dinner table, Mr. Bai eventually brought up seeing what seed to be the Li family on the plane, but since they weren’t very familiar, he hadn’t dared to confirm.
"They’ve arrived, but I’ve already made arrangents. I’ll make sure they don’t disrupt our wedding! You don’t need to worry about anything!" Leng Mochen pinched her cheek. "You just focus on thinking about !"
When Li Si first heard they had co, her feelings were very complicated. She hadn’t inford them because she didn’t want them to show up.
But since he said he would handle it, she decided not to press further.
"Got it! I’ll only think about you, but aren’t you worried I might think about Buding, too?"
He dotingly tapped the tip of her nose. "What do you think?" Of course, he ca first, and Buding second!
The fact that the Li family ca to attend the wedding was largely thanks to Li Guofu’s willingness to spend money on plane tickets.
During the journey, Zhang ihua sat next to Li Fei, softly instructing her to watch her expressions and act accordingly once they arrived in Beijing.
Li Fei nodded repeatedly on the surface, but inwardly, she was filled with disdain.
However, she now understood the perks of wealth. To build a better relationship with Li Si, she didn’t mind saying a few flattering words to please her.
After all, if a few sweet words could win Li Si’s help in introducing her to a wealthy and powerful husband, what wouldn’t she do?
As she looked out at the scenery beyond the airplane window, her feelings about Beijing were quite conflicted.
Although she hadn’t spent much ti in Beijing before, the events she experienced there had left a deep impression on her.
In the row behind them, Li Guozhi sat with Grandma Li, lost in thought. When she first heard Li Si was getting married, her sister-in-law had asked if she planned to attend the wedding.
Initially, she had hesitated. Ever since encountering Li Si and her boyfriend that one ti, she had realized the child had truly distanced herself from them.
This ti, she hadn’t even inford them of the wedding, which spoke volus.
Yet what her sister-in-law said wasn’t without rit. No matter what, even if the elders were in the wrong, surely it wasn’t irreparable. Could they really sever ties completely?
After all, Li Si carried the blood of the Li family. Could she truly forget her roots now that she was flying high?
Ultimately, their presence at her wedding was also a way to show support, wasn’t it?
Moreover, upon hearing about the wedding, Wu Dachuan and her mother-in-law had practically raised their hands and feet in favor of it. If not for Wu Yue having school and being unable to take ti off, they might have even brought her along to "gain so experience."
But is gaining experience really that simple? It wasn’t that she was being overly pessimistic, but given that even the wedding location had been kept a secret from them, would their presence really be welco?
Besides, they didn’t even know where Li Si’s new ho was, let alone where the wedding would be held.
It was Grandma Li’s first ti on a plane, and she was understandably nervous. She understood her daughter-in-law’s intentions.
If possible, she hoped that this trip would allow her to spend her later years with Li Si.
But wasn’t raising sons supposed to ensure security in old age? Yet here she was, looking to her granddaughter instead. What kind of situation was this?
On top of that, Li Si’s marriage ant they could no longer dictate terms as they did before.
Even now, when she thought back to the things they did, she still felt guilty.
Why had they been so committed to pressuring that child? If it weren’t for those incidents, their relationship wouldn’t have beco so strained.
How could it have co to the point where Li Si got married without even notifying them? And now they had to shalessly impose themselves?
Each person in the group was lost in their own thoughts as they arrived in Beijing and disembarked the plane. None of the three had ever been to Beijing, so it was up to Li Fei to take the lead as they exited and prepared to take the airport shuttle bus.
Just as they stepped through the doors, a neatly dressed young man in a black suit approached them. "You must be relatives of Li Si?"
"Yes, and you are?" Zhang ihua asked cautiously, her guard up. How did Li Si know they were coming?
Before disembarking, she and Fei’er had even discussed how they didn’t know Li Si’s exact address. Their plan was to first take the airport shuttle bus, find a hotel to settle in, and then go about figuring things out.
How had Li Si sent soone to pick them up already? Could they have been monitored?
The young man smiled warmly. "I work for Mr. Leng. He specifically sent to pick you up. Please, this way!" He gestured towards a gleaming black rcedes-Benz van behind him.
Recently, Li Fei had beco quite knowledgeable about cars. One look, and she could tell it was a luxury vehicle. Considering how wealthy Li Si’s husband was, how could the car not be top-notch? Another glance at the man, whose entire deanor scread corporate elite, and she started to believe him.
Li Guozhi, holding onto Grandma Li, looked at Zhang ihua and Li Fei. At this point, it was up to them to decide.
Now that they were in the nation’s capital, they couldn’t help but feel awestruck!
Even their speech and actions beca more cautious.
Zhang ihua and Li Fei exchanged a look. "Mr. Leng? That’s Li Si’s husband?"
She wanted to confirm, as it’s always wise to be cautious with strangers when traveling.
Especially given how strange this encounter was—what if it was a scam?
"Yes, Li Si is now Mrs. Leng. Knowing you had traveled a long way, Mr. Leng specifically sent to bring you to the hotel he arranged for you." The young man’s tone was neither servile nor overbearing, making him pleasant to listen to.
Seeing Li Fei subtly nod, Zhang ihua glanced at Grandma Li and Li Guozhi before finally agreeing. "Alright, let’s get in the car!"
Since Li Si had sent soone, this was clearly a good sign for them!
It was certainly better than blindly wandering around in an unfamiliar city.
And surely, any hotel they arranged would be nice.
During the ride, Zhang ihua and Li Fei took turns making polite conversation, learning that the young man’s surna was Sun and that they could call him Xiao Sun.
After chatting for a while, they began asking about Li Si’s wedding details.
But Xiao Sun’s responses were impeccable—he seed to reveal a lot, yet provided no substantial information at all. (To be continued.
