As for Long Wu, who was being talked about by the two, at the mont he was in his bedroom, sighing gloomily. He had no idea how things had co to be like this.
Clearly, ever since that drunken night when he lost control and slept with Su ng, their relationship had seed to be on the verge of improving.
But at the most crucial mont, soone had ruined everything.
Now thinking back to yesterday’s events, he couldn’t help but regret it deeply.
When Su ng suddenly produced those so-called pieces of evidence against him, he initially handled it properly, rushing to explain and recounting the entire matter without leaving out a single detail.
And then what?
It was because Su ng stubbornly refused to believe him, wasn’t it? And also that suffocating feeling of facing the possibility of losing her.
That was why he lost control and did sothing utterly foolish.
Doing that nonsense of fighting at the head of the bed, reconciling at the foot of the bed with a forced kiss.
Otherwise, would Su ng have gotten so mad that she bit his lip bloody and scratched his face raw?
He curled his lips into a self-deprecating smile, but even that tugged at the wound on his lip, making him hiss in pain, "Shit, that hurts!"
At this mont, his phone began ringing in his pocket.
He lazily pulled it out, saw Xu Er’s na on the screen, frowned, and pressed the answer button.
"Say what you need to!" His tone was clearly tinged with resentnt.
This guy had co over to mock his misery before—did he really think he hadn’t noticed?
On the other end, Xu Er’s amused voice ca through, "Wu’er, I’m here with Leng Er. He seems quite concerned about your injuries.
We all know your face is hurt, but your heart is hurting even more. Are you coming to tonight’s banquet? The brothers want to cheer you up a bit and get you out of that miserable rut!"
Long Wu was so pissed he opened his mouth wide, ignoring the pain in his lip as he cursed, "Screw you! Look at how smug you are! Do you think my situation is just hilarious?
I’m telling you, Xu Er, you better not act all high and mighty! Don’t think you’ll never have a day like this!
Word of advice from soone who’s been through it—don’t go running your mouth!"
He refused to believe that, in all the years to co, Xu Er wouldn’t have a fight with Bai Shasha!
If you think about it, Bai Shasha is way tougher than Su ng.
So Xu Er really shouldn’t feel so pleased with himself! His turn will co!
Xu Er’s tone softened a bit, but it was still irritating, "Oh ho, hit a nerve, didn’t I? Wu’er, this really isn’t like you! Don’t worry about my problems. I’ve got it under control.
I know you’re feeling down, so I’ll take the harsh words for now. After all, we’re brothers.
But hey, I’m calling out of genuine concern for your injuries!
And also, I just had a chat with Leng Er—you might want to look into Su ng’s relatives!"
Long Wu’s expression froze, and he snapped at the phone, "I don’t need your nonsense! I’m hanging up—so annoying!"
He slamd the end call button, and in anger, tossed the phone onto the bedside table.
Even more frustrated, he flopped back onto the big bed behind him. What bad luck had he run into? Every single day seed cursed!
Still, his mind raced. When it ca to Su ng’s relatives, there weren’t that many.
Recently, her uncle and grandmother had been around, and her aunt, knowing he didn’t like her, had wisely stayed away.
Oh, right, there was also Hu Li, who’d stopped by to deliver sothing to her mother. Could it be her?
Long Wu suddenly sat up. He had to investigate properly.
If it really was one of Su ng’s relatives, he would make sure to crush them thoroughly. If he didn’t finish them off, he’d make sure they suffered terribly.
With this thought, he picked up his phone and dialed Su ng, but she was still unreachable—her phone was off.
He hesitated for a mont and considered calling her mother, but then rembered even she hadn’t stood on his side this ti, proving how serious things were.
Luckily, he had people secretly following and protecting them, so he at least had control over their whereabouts.
On Xu Er’s end, after being hung up on by Long Wu, he wasn’t particularly upset.
Instead, his eyes glinted as he chuckled. He hadn’t taken a single word of Long Wu’s seriously, knowing it was just venting in anger.
With a wife as wonderful as Bai Shasha, there was no way he’d ss up like that.
He wasn’t like Long Wu, hopping from flower to flower—a total philanderer!
By the ti everyone arrived at the banquet venue, many prominent figures from the business world were already present.
Li Si gracefully walked in, her arm linked with Leng Mochen, who was dressed in a black custom-made suit, handcrafted to perfection.
Following behind them were Xu Er in a white suit and Bai Shasha in a pink strapless evening gown.
Their entrance drew everyone’s gaze toward the newly arrived group in the banquet hall.
Li Si scanned the faces of those looking their way. Apart from many unfamiliar ones, she also spotted Jin Jiachao, who was chatting with soone. He noticed her as well, and the two exchanged polite nods and smiles.
Not long after, Li Si, staying beside Leng Mochen, had already exchanged pleasantries with several business moguls.
The n attending these banquets often discussed deals, profits, and plans for the upcoming year.
The won, on the other hand, engaged in "lady diplomacy" by talking about skincare, jewelry, and other such topics.
After circling the room with him, Li Si began feeling tired and bored.
She found the whole affair particularly uninspiring—passing empty words with people she didn’t know well, while pretending to be close.
Her straightforward personality made her a bit fed up with such interactions.
Fortunately, Leng Mochen caught sight of her slightly furrowed brow and imdiately understood her feelings.
He whispered softly into her ear, "Little girl, you don’t have to stick by my side here. Go enjoy yourself."
Li Si’s eyes lit up as she asked quietly, "Are you sure?"
After all, this was their first public appearance together as a couple since Leng Mochen officially took over the Leng Group.
Leng Mochen gave her a faint smile and shook his head, "Go ahead. I’ll co find you later."
Business matters never really interested her, so it was better to let her wander around freely than to make her stay and endure dull conversations aimlessly.
Besides, his gaze darkened ever so slightly—if the little one was happy now, perhaps tonight he’d finally get to enjoy so "at."
It had been days since he had even a taste.
If it weren’t for Long Wu’s past mistake serving as a warning, he’d probably have gone ahead when he held her at the teahouse earlier today.
But alas, so things needed to be done properly, at the right ti and place. A whole night was more than enough for him to fully "release" his pent-up desires.
Li Si felt the heat of his burning gaze and her cheeks flushed. Having been with him for so long, she couldn’t possibly be unaware of what those deepening eyes of his ant.
It seed that tonight, soone was going to devour her once again.
She glanced around and gave him a playful glare before turning to leave.
Leng Mochen’s eyes remained glued to her retreating figure until soone politely greeted him, forcing him to withdraw his gaze.
When facing others, he returned to his usual cold deanor that kept people at arm’s length—all traces of tenderness wiped clean.
