The car sped along the road, and the natural wind blowing through the open window tangled Li Si’s hair. She turned her head to gaze at the man who had been keeping a cold expression all this ti, feeling sowhat inexplicable.
Still, she cautiously asked, "Are you also surprised that I would so blatantly stab Li Fei in the heart today?"
Indeed, the words she spoke and the actions she took today were completely different from her usual self.
But actually, ever since Buding was kidnapped, she had made a ruthless decision: no matter who it was, she would repay tooth for tooth, eye for eye.
She absolutely wouldn’t endure or suffer losses anymore.
Leng Mochen glanced at her faintly and pressed his lips tightly together.
Just when Li Si thought he wouldn’t respond, he finally spoke after a long pause, "Do you think I’d think that?"
In his voice was an indistinct trace of unnad displeasure. What did she take him for?
To be fair, even if she had directly torn into Li Fei, he wouldn’t have said anything.
The real problem was that during this matter, he felt a deep sense of loss upon realizing Li Si no longer relied on him.
It was like raising a child—you always assud they were young, planning everything for them, worrying over them.
Then suddenly, one day, they had completely freed themselves from your care and could handle everything on their own.
And they told you outright that they could do it!
A very conflicting emotion!
As for Nie Xiuwei and the still-missing Qin Xin, as well as Qin He from the Qin Family, he felt an inexplicable irritation rising within him.
Why, even after being reborn, could he not escape the entanglents of his past life?
Li Si deliberately fixed her gaze on his profile, observing the changes in his expression. Her large, bright eyes held a hint of doubt as she asked, "I thought you were angry because you were disappointed in ! But, what are you angry about? I didn’t provoke you!"
Li Si found it sowhat baffling. She didn’t seem to have done anything that would make him change his mood, right?
"Not about you!"
As soon as he said that, Leng Mochen suddenly stomped on the accelerator, driving even faster.
Li Si was utterly unprepared for his sudden speed increase and could only grab the handle above the car window in a panic to stabilize herself.
"What’s wrong with you? Going crazy or sothing?"
She was getting angry now! If there was sothing to say, then just co out with it!
Driving so recklessly—it was practically playing with life.
"Nothing!"
Leng Mochen remained trapped in his own thoughts. On the surface he seed focused on the road ahead, but his mind was racing through different matters.
He didn’t realize how much this kind of neglect—or rather indifference—could wound a woman.
Li Si felt a wave of annoyance bubble up within her. She hadn’t felt much when she encountered Li Fei earlier.
In fact, seeing her disgraced had been quite satisfying.
But at this mont, Leng Mochen really seed inscrutable to her.
"You had her abducted—how do you plan to deal with Li Fei?"
Li Si’s tone was firm and unyielding.
Leng Mochen’s thoughts were interrupted. Hearing her tone, he frowned slightly. "She’ll be sent where she belongs!"
Li Si hearing his ambiguous answer only grew angrier, leaning back against the seat in frustration and staring out the window.
It was all just absurd—what was he so angry about? Was it really worth this much?
Thankfully, the trip didn’t run into any major issues. He only ran one red light, and they safely arrived ho.
As soon as the car stopped in front of the villa, Li Si opened the door and got out.
She didn’t even spare Leng Mochen another glance.
Leng Mochen angrily pounded the steering wheel. Obviously, he wasn’t upset with her.
How had things turned out like this?
What was wrong with him today?
A sudden feeling of irritation and helplessness surged from sowhere deep within him. Could it be?
His eyes flashed with a sharp glint. Impossible!
...
When Yao iling arrived at the hotel, the birthday banquet hadn’t ended yet.
But she didn’t dare to walk right in and openly look for Han Mingzhe. Instead, she discreetly gave a tip to a waiter, asking him to deliver a note.
In just a short while, Han Mingzhe, dressed in a white shirt and dark gray trousers with his short hair neatly combed, stepped out from the heavy, luxurious private room door.
He glanced around and, spotting Yao iling, frowned slightly.
"What’s this supposed to an?"
Learning to send notes now, to pass ssages?
Though he loathed her at this mont, there were so things he didn’t mind asking further about.
Yao iling finally saw her heart’s desire and only dared to glance at him with deep emotion before lowering her head and speaking softly with a voice as tender as water. "Brother Mingzhe, I was afraid your mother might be unhappy if she saw , so I did this instead! Today, Li Fei invited to go shopping. When the two of us reached a hotel parking lot, we ran into Li Si and her husband, and then..."
Yao iling completely omitted the part where she and Li Fei had ended up tearing into each other.
Although she knew that, given Li Fei’s personality, she would inevitably complain afterward.
But what if she felt too embarrassed to bring it up?
So, she was willing to take the gamble!
When Han Mingzhe heard Li Si and her husband ntioned, he imdiately turned serious.
He inquired in detail about the situation and then warned Yao iling not to spread any rumors. As for Li Fei, he would deal with it. After just a few words, he dismissed her.
Watching Yao iling leave with frequent hesitant glances back, Han Mingzhe snorted disdainfully.
If not for this foolish woman, would he have been forced into such a position by Zheng Zelin?
But the real culprit behind this matter—he had indeed managed to uncover so clues.
Leng Mochen and Long Wu were definitely involved.
Since that was the case, he had to make good use of this opportunity.
Han Mingzhe didn’t imdiately return to the private room but instead walked a few steps away to an empty corner by a window and dialed a phone number.
What he didn’t know was that while Yao iling had arrived, she’d been followed.
His every move had been observed by a keen pair of eyes.
anwhile, Leng Mochen received feedback from his n on newly gathered information. The corners of his lips lifted in a cold smirk. He’d known it—no matter how deeply so people tried to bury themselves, they’d still inadvertently reveal their flaws. It was just a matter of how tempting the bait was.
After arriving ho, Li Si took care of Buding gently, feeding and soothing him.
Once the little one was content and sound asleep in his crib, she finally had the chance to lie down on the big bed and sort through everything that had happened earlier.
But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t figure out what she might’ve done to deserve Leng Mochen’s anger.
Why had he suddenly acted that way? What was the reason?
The more she racked her mind, the more disordered her thoughts beca. Suddenly, she rembered earlier at the hotel—when she and Su ng went to the restroom and ca back, Leng Mochen and Long Wu had looked odd, as if they’d just returned from sowhere.
At that thought, she dialed Su ng’s number.
When the call connected, Su ng imdiately started complaining about how unreliable Long Wu was. Despite claiming he wanted to have a good ti,
he ended up drinking until he was completely drunk, muttering nonsense the whole ti.
Now, the two of them hadn’t even gone ho but had booked a room directly at the hotel.
