Li Si teased with a smile, "You figured it out so quickly?"
Bai Shasha rolled her eyes at her. "Little brat! Do you even know what I do for a living? I thought the classmate you ntioned would be impressive, but turns out, it’s just so-so!"
She was genuinely disappointed! She had thought that Li Si’s friends would be her friends too!
But now that they t, she didn’t feel even a bit like pursuing a deeper connection with the other party!!
"Yeah!! Childhood friends can’t really compare to now! Anyway, I don’t want to form a deeper bond. It’s fine as long as we keep up appearances!"
She had beco much more mature, and the more interaction she had with Wang Ruotong and her mother, the more she felt they differed from the people she rembered. Thus, her initial excitent upon their chance encounter had long dissipated.
"If that’s really how you feel, then fine, I won’t say anything more. Tis have changed, and your status is different now, so you have to be especially careful when dealing with people!" Bai Shasha finished speaking, and Li Si smiled lightly, "Don’t worry! I know what I’m doing!"
The two continued strolling for a while before leaving. By the ti they went their separate ways and Li Si returned ho, Buding had already gone to bed early. Leng Mochen had also just returned from outside, and it was then that Li Si found out from him that he’d been to the Leng Family’s old residence.
Today, the matter of Leng Ning and Jin Yichen calling off their engagent had even alard Mr. Leng Sr., who had recently returned quietly from his retreat in Beidaihe.
After the incident with Leng Mohao, Mr. Leng Sr. had been deeply affected.
Leng Mochen and Li Si had taken Buding to visit him twice specifically.
In Li Si’s view, at 81 years old, Mr. Leng Sr. no longer had the vigorous spirit he had when she first t him. He was noticeably thinner, and she could clearly sense that he had beco much more serene.
He had originally been looking forward to attending Leng Ning’s engagent party, but now it was canceled, which left him quite enraged upon receiving the news.
Ultimately, the two families sat down together to discuss the matter.
Leng Mochen had also been called back to the old residence, where Jin Jiachao gave Jin Yichen a stern scolding directly in front of everyone.
He demanded that Jin Yichen make a guarantee to imdiately sever all ties with Yin Xuan and never have any further contact. Additionally, he emphasized Jin Yichen’s sincere feelings toward Leng Ning and repeatedly assured the Leng Family that such issues would never happen again.
The Leng Family had varied reactions; Mr. Leng Sr. listened for a long while and had already made up his mind. Leng Mochen remained indifferent and did not express any opinion.
Leng Ning, however, seed hesitant about maintaining her steadfast stance on canceling the engagent after Jin Yichen waited outside for an entire night and expressed his feelings to her. Nevertheless, she still felt too embarrassed to voice her thoughts directly.
Mrs. Leng, on the other hand, was internally inclined to see the engagent proceed as planned, as she was quite pleased with the match.
Leng Qiankai was extrely dissatisfied—his daughter had been treated this way right before the engagent. To him, the Jin Family’s apologies and promises were utterly aningless.
If it hadn’t been for clearing up an old misunderstanding in the past and considering Jin Yichen as Su Ye’s son, he would never have let go and reconciled so easily.
Now, as the engagent event was approaching, the Jin Family had stirred up such a ss. Did they really think so little of the Leng Family?
No matter how many nice words Jin Jiachao said, Leng Qiankai still firmly insisted that there was absolutely no need for this marriage to continue!
For a mont, the scene turned chaotic!
Finally, after a heated verbal confrontation between him and Jin Jiachao, Mr. Leng Sr. made the decision: the engagent would proceed as planned, but the wedding would be delayed for two years.
If during this period similar issues arose or the couple found themselves incompatible, they would part ways amicably!
After Leng Mochen finished telling the story, Li Si couldn’t help but ask, "What does Leng Ning think of this?"
Such a decision from Mr. Leng Sr. must have its reasoning. She just wasn’t sure what the bride-to-be truly felt about it!
Leng Mochen stroked her shiny black hair, his eyes full of affection. "She went along with the old man’s arrangent. But she’s a little shy to talk to you about it, so she didn’t inform you."
Li Si smiled knowingly. "I figured as much. She didn’t say anything at all! Turns out, the little girl just couldn’t bring herself to broach the topic? Well, it’s no big deal!"
While she was out with Bai Shasha, she had subconsciously checked her phone several tis, just to see if there was any update about Leng Ning. In fact, from the expression on Leng Ning’s face the last ti they talked, she’d already gotten a hint of what might happen.
"Considering how adamant she was yesterday, it’s understandable that she’d change her stance today!"
Li Si nodded thoughtfully. "I just hope Jin Yichen sticks to his word!" That day, Yin Xuan’s every movent seed suspicious. Although later it was said to be Mrs. Yin’s doing, Li Si still felt sothing fishy about the whole affair.
Could it really have been Mrs. Yin who sent that text?
Leng Mochen didn’t think much about them and responded casually. Li Si was basking in their little mont of intimacy when she suddenly thought of sothing and furrowed her brow. "Honey! Today, Shasha ntioned Long Wu’s child—it seems odd."
She had already sensed sothing unusual when she visited Su ng’s place a while back.
Now that Bai Shasha brought it up, it seed even more plausible!
How could a child be exceptional to such an extent, beyond even the capabilities of Su ng’s family?
Leng Mochen grew curious. "What seems odd?"
He had only t the child a few tis, so he hadn’t noticed much.
Li Si hesitated for a mont and cautiously said, "Maybe he rembers a past life! Or is a reincarnated soul!"
When she finished, his reaction told her he didn’t believe her!
Seeing how seriously she spoke, Leng Mochen flicked her forehead with his finger and a trace of amusent appeared in his eyes. "Been reading too many novels?"
Could a child that small really have done sothing to make her draw such a conclusion? Rebirth wasn’t sothing that happened so easily.
Li Si glared at him. "That’s not it! I’m telling you, that child was different from our Buding from the mont he was born. Initially, I just thought he was precocious and inherited Long Wu’s traits. But now, even Shasha has noticed sothing unusual. When I think back carefully, there really might be sothing to it!"
Leng Mochen couldn’t resist teasing her. "If that’s the case, I think Buding might fit the bill too. He could call ’Mommy’ by seven months old! Could he also be one?"
When it ca to his son, he was absolutely proud. How could anyone be better than him!
Li Si imdiately lost interest in continuing the conversation. She didn’t want to argue over this anymore. Besides, what did the truth about that child have to do with them?
"Maybe I’m just overthinking. Anyway, I’m heading for a shower!" Leng Mochen took the chance to pull her into his arms. "Together!"
"I refuse!" Li Si firmly rejected him, fully aware of his intentions. His so-called ’showering together’ always ended with her being completely worn out before he’d let her go.
Leng Mochen’s eyes darkened. "Objection overruled!"
The two hadn’t been overly passionate in bed recently, but their shared monts in the bathroom were rare—and the experience lingered fondly in his mory!
In the end, she let him have his way! (To be continued. If you like this story, you’re welco to visit Qidian (qidian) to cast recomndation votes or monthly tickets. Your support is the greatest motivation for . Mobile readers, please visit m.qidian for more reading.)
