Li Si suddenly rembered the man from the video—it was none other than Yin Qi’s ex-husband, Han Mingzhe!
Back then, Qian Rouxuan had shown up with Long Wu’s biological son John, ard with a fake paternity report to gain Mrs. Leng’s approval. Han Mingzhe had been secretly involved with Qian Rouxuan behind Yin Qi’s back. Coincidentally, it was at Xu Er’s hotel, where Leng Mochen and Long Wu used Xu Er’s hacker skills to secretly record the silent footage.
Leng Mochen had brought it ho, jokingly calling it a "ho video." Who would’ve thought that when Li Si shyly took a peek, she’d recognize the man as Beibei’s father, the person who once saved her.
What happened afterward was full of twists and turns. Qian Rouxuan attempted to kidnap Su ng, which led to a dramatic showdown at Mr. Leng Sr.’s 80th birthday banquet. During the chaos, John’s real parentage was exposed, and she was arrested on the spot.
The scandalous videos involving Qian Rouxuan, Han Mingzhe, and even her with Leng Mohao were all leaked online.
Later, Yin Qi divorced Han Mingzhe. After that, Han Mingzhe seed to vanish completely from the public eye.
His younger brother, Han Mingxue, first dated Zhou Rou before getting involved with Li Fei. This eventually led to a trip to North City, uncovering an old connection between Grandma Li and Mr. Han Sr., revealing that Li Guofu was actually Mr. Han Sr.’s son.
Li Si snapped back from her thoughts, slightly confused. She asked, "Him? When did he reappear?"
After his divorce from Yin Qi, he had faded entirely from everyone’s view.
But Li Si didn’t dwell on it. Leng Mochen, on the other hand, hesitated about how to confront her with all his speculations.
"He recently returned to North City!" He spoke in an offhand manner.
However, regarding Han Mingzhe’s behavior tonight, he already had a plan in mind.
"Oh!" Li Si lifted her gaze, staring at him intently. "Now spill it, what’s with Qin Xin?"
At the banquet earlier, the crowd made it difficult for her to ask, but now that they were ho, it seed like a good ti.
Leng Mochen saw her deliberately pout, and he couldn’t help but grin affectionately as he tapped her nose. "Why do I sll jealousy in the air?"
Li Si gave him a side glance, turning away. "Hmph! You clearly promised that we’d share everything and not keep secrets. Yet, she showed up right under your nose, and you didn’t say a word!"
He sat down and gently held her face with both hands, making her look into his eyes, which were full of mirth. "Alright, stop pouting. I won’t tease you anymore. She’s joined Zheng Huanxue’s company; Zheng Huanxue’s father, Zheng Zelin, has so ties with Elder Leng. We even saw them at our wedding. This ti, the celebrity chosen to promote the opening of Mo Si International was from her company.
I didn’t object. I wanted to see what tricks she had up her sleeve!"
"What exactly does Qin Xin want? The way she intentionally got close to tonight clearly shows she’s up to no good! But just thinking about how she has no idea that I already know her true identity makes secretly laugh. No matter what she tries, it’s all just an act in my eyes!"
Hearing all this, Li Si felt much better. The evening had been emotionally draining, and she let out a small yawn.
Amused, he gave her an affectionate kiss on the corner of her lips. "You clever little thing! You’ve gotten much smarter!"
"If she dares to provoke again, I won’t let her get away with it!" Li Si narrowed her eyes. She was no longer the naive girl she was after her rebirth. Anyone who tried to manipulate her would regret it!
The two continued chatting for a while. After Li Si finished her bath and fell asleep, Leng Mochen quietly snuck out of the bedroom. Once in the study room, his expression turned grim.
Qin Xin’s attempts to approach Li Si had left him deeply unsettled.
In this lifeti, everything was different—they both had new identities. He was Leng Mochen, and at this mont, Qin Xin was Sima Ling.
If there had to be so connection between them, it would be tied to Lu Zhengming and Nie Xiuwei’s matter.
She could target him or seek revenge on him, but she should have never dared to touch his Achilles’ heel—Li Si.
Li Si was the person closest to his heart. He knew she felt an instinctive jealousy toward Qin Xin.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t care so much about certain things.
It seed he needed to deal with everything swiftly.
While he was lost in thought, Long Wu called him in the middle of the night.
"What’s up?"
There was faint music in the background from Long Wu’s side. "Hey, buddy, co out and have a drink with ?"
Leng Mochen frowned at the ti—it was already midnight.
"What’s wrong?" It wasn’t like him to act this way without a reason. Long Wu hadn’t even shown up at the charity banquet earlier today.
After a mont of silence, Long Wu sighed. "Ah! I just feel terrible. Can you co out? Sa place!"
Rubbing his temples, Leng Mochen conceded, "Fine. See you in a bit!"
Honestly, he didn’t need to guess to figure out what it was about.
When Leng Mochen arrived, he found Xu Er there too. However, Xu Er seed visibly displeased as he watched Long Wu drink in silence.
"Leng Er! Tell , isn’t Long Wu just digging his own grave? He went through all that trouble to marry Su ng, and now he’s out here ssing around.
Now he regrets it, feels miserable—well, what the hell were you doing before, huh!?"
Xu Er had held these words in for a long ti. Ever since Long Wu had returned to the country, he’d been watching the endless string of problems between Long Wu and Su ng unfold.
As a friend, how could he not be anxious?
But worrying was pointless because, at the end of the day, it was Long Wu who had turned his marriage into this trainwreck.
Long Wu’s face was flushed from the alcohol, and his eyes were bloodshot. It was clear he’d already had quite a bit to drink before they arrived.
He gave Xu Er a dumb grin and said, "What do you know? How many relationships have you even been in? And here you are lecturing ! Let tell you, Xu Er, there are so things you don’t understand, so don’t run your mouth, alright?
Dating and marriage are two completely different things! I admit I was wrong—I made the sa mistake so many n out there make. But I never abandoned the old for the new. I was just looking for a bit of excitent, that’s all! I swear to heaven, I never did anything to betray her!
But Su ng? She’s been cold to this whole ti because of certain things!"
None of them could truly understand the frustration he felt inside.
Xu Er glared at him a few tis, and by the end, he thought Long Wu was beyond saving.
"Fine! I won’t argue with you!"
He figured there was no point in reasoning with a drunk man. After leaving the banquet earlier, he’d planned on enjoying a romantic evening with Bai Shasha at a fancy dinner.
Afterward, as he was dropping Bai Shasha off at her door and saying their reluctant goodbyes, just about to have a kiss, Long Wu’s call ruined everything.
Looking back, he wondered why he even bothered coming out. Annoyed, Xu Er grabbed a bottle of beer and started drinking too.
Leng Mochen sat down next to Long Wu. "Long Wu, if there’s an issue between you and your wife, resolve it directly. She’s still recovering from childbirth—do you really think now’s the ti to be acting like this?"
The real issue hadn’t even been addressed yet.
Su ng’s attitude toward him clearly stemd from so deeper reasons.
Long Wu wiped his face roughly. "I know this isn’t the way! But I feel suffocated, stuck between everything. My parents ca to see the baby, and she’s been giving them the cold shoulder.
I know my mom wronged her, but even so, no matter what she says, I would never cross that line!"
Leng Mochen had seen part of what happened that day, though Xu Er didn’t know the details. Seeing how drunk Long Wu was, he didn’t bother to ask.
"So who’s that woman, then?"
Long Wu froze, clearly not expecting Leng Mochen to know about it. A hint of awkwardness flashed across his face.
