Chapter 459 - 376 You Naughty Boy
When Leng Mochen got home that day, he mentioned to Li Si over dinner that Zhang Shan had come to find him, and he had outright rejected her.
Li Si pouted unhappily after hearing this, putting down her chopsticks: "What is wrong with her! What does her sister’s suicide have to do with you? Does she really think she can cling to us now?"
The whole day, Li Si had been in a bad mood because of this matter.
If this had happened to someone else, perhaps she might harbor some suspicion.
But she had absolute trust in Lu Zhenghang’s soul within Leng Mochen—100% trust.
There was definitely no ambiguity or tangled mess involved!
Honestly, she’s not the type of person to be ruthless. If it were another matter and she could help, she would definitely do so without a second thought—she was well aware of her overly saintly nature.
But it depends on the issue, right?
Zhang Shan’s sister using something as serious as suicide to manipulate others? Even if Leng Mochen went, so what? Did she think she could latch on to him with this?
Has she been reading too many CEO romance novels?
She couldn’t believe Zhang Shan even had the guts to approach Leng Mochen. Anyone with an ounce of depth wouldn’t wade into this mess—it’s like not eating mutton but coming away smelling of the sheep.
She was completely speechless toward Zhang Shan now!
Leng Mochen patted her shoulder soothingly: "Alright, why bother getting angry over her? Just enjoy your meal! Once our son wakes up, you think you’ll still get to eat peacefully?"
He genuinely didn’t want irrelevant people affecting their appetite.
Buding was incredibly attached to Li Si. Whether the child did it intentionally or not, he frequently woke up right when they were eating, then needed milk or wanted to play.
Although Sister Ding helped out, once Buding saw Li Si, he’d dash straight into her embrace. Don’t underestimate this little guy—he was only a little over two months old but could already tell who his mom was.
Li Si picked up her chopsticks again, turning her grief into appetite and starting in on the braised ribs. She ate a few pieces but couldn’t keep eating.
Something occurred to her, and she raised an eyebrow at Leng Mochen: "Honey, do you think Buding is old enough now for Xiao Guai to come out?"
At the beginning, her plan was to find an excuse to release Xiao Guai, but back then, the baby was so fragile that she worried he might get sick.
But now, seeing how healthy their son was growing—outgrowing those tiny onesies from his first month in no time—she felt more at ease.
When Buding received his first polio vaccine sugar drop at two months, the doctor had praised him during the checkup. Buding’s height and weight were developing excellently, and the doctor had remarked on his robust health, even complimenting his shiny black hair as a sign of a strong constitution.
Perhaps all parents share this sentiment—no matter what their child is like, they believe their child is the best, the most perfect.
Especially when praised by others, a parent’s happiness knows no bounds.
Meanwhile, Xiao Guai, stuck in the spatial realm, had grown bored of its old digging activities. Now it was fixating on the few not-quite-dead fruit trees far away from the Bone Marrow Cleansing Tree.
To its credit, it actually managed to revive a cherry tree and a peach tree.
This meant they now had a steady supply of cherries and peaches to enjoy—not only for Xiao Guai but benefiting Li Si and her family as well.
Leng Mochen frowned slightly and said seriously, "Let’s wait a little longer. Xiao Guai may be highly intelligent, but at the end of the day, it’s still an animal. What if it scares the baby? Wouldn’t you agree?"
He had some resistance in his heart to the idea of Xiao Guai being released.
Ultimately, this stemmed from when Xiao Guai had scratched John long ago—it left a mark on his heart.
This was his own son. Whether scratched accidentally or frightened, he would feel uncontrollably distressed!
Li Si understood his concerns. Although she wished to see Xiao Guai play with their son, his reasoning wasn’t without merit.
She could tell what was more important, so she decided to wait until Buding grew a bit older.
Buding was on his best behavior that evening, only waking up leisurely after his mom and dad had finished their meal. After changing his diaper, he was clean and refreshed as he lay there, opening his shiny black eyes to take in the world around him.
Overflowing with fatherly affection, Leng Mochen wanted to let Buding ride on his shoulders, but the child was still too young. After two attempts, it didn’t work. Buding nervously grabbed onto his father’s hair.
Li Si laughed while taking photos with their camera: "Oh my! Buding has a great sense of caution! Put him down; he’s too small for that!"
The two of them had decided to meticulously document their child’s growth, taking photos of Buding every few days and developing them to place in a growth album.
As the baby grew, his expressions became more diverse, and Li Si cherished every single photo.
Mrs. Leng had often remarked how photogenic her grandson was, looking like a little star in the making.
They had also sent an album to Mr. Leng Sr., who couldn’t see Buding daily. When they weren’t visiting the old residence, he would flip through the album and find it delightful!
Afraid of straining the baby’s back, Leng Mochen gently cradled Buding in his arms. "Our son’s little hands are so strong—they’re pulling my hair out!"
Li Si grabbed Buding’s tiny fist and smiled in surprise: "No wonder you said it hurts—you see, he actually yanked out a strand of your hair!"
Ever since Buding was born, Li Si had noticed how adept his little hands were. Every time they bathed him, he’d grab onto the collar of their clothes with all his might.
Once, after rushing back home as Buding needed a bath, Li Si forgot to remove her necklace in a hurry. Sure enough, Buding grabbed it, making both her and Sister Ding burst out laughing.
Sister Ding even complimented the baby, saying he was exceptionally smart!
Seeing the black strand of hair in Li Si’s hand, Leng Mochen couldn’t help but plant a doting kiss on Buding’s cheek. "You little rascal!"
Buding giggled happily, as though he entirely understood what his parents were saying.
Not long after, drool dribbled from his open mouth. Li Si gently wiped it away with a soft cloth handkerchief, all the while scolding Leng Mochen: "Be gentle! If you keep kissing so forcefully, he’ll start drooling all the time.
People always say, don’t kiss or pinch babies’ cheeks too hard—it can promote drooling!"
Leng Mochen held Buding helplessly, "Is it really that serious?" Seeing his innocent, adorable son—was closeness not allowed?
Ever since Buding was born, Li Si had been overly cautious about everything. Truthfully, he felt his status in her heart had noticeably dropped.
At that moment, Buding stretched out his arms and reached for his mom. Li Si took him in her embrace naturally. "If you don’t pay attention now, by the time you do, it’ll be too late! Buding, isn’t mommy right? Hmm?"
Buding blinked his bright black eyes, his long lashes fluttering as he gurgled the sounds he could manage: "Ah, ah..."
"Well, aren’t you quick to side with Mama before you’ve even grown up? You little troublemaker!"
Buding laughed louder at that, making Leng Mochen and Li Si share a knowing smile. This little one was full of personality!
After playing for a bit, Buding yawned. Li Si nursed him, and before long, he drifted off to sleep.
She carefully placed him in his crib, patting him lightly, and couldn’t resist kissing his adorable sleeping face.
Just then, Leng Mochen walked back from his shower, towel in hand, drying his hair as he said, "So you’re allowed to kiss him, but I’m not? Somebody’s a bit tyrannical, hmm?"
"What nonsense! I kissed his forehead—who kisses cheeks like you do, so forcefully? Hey! What are you doing..." Before she could finish, Leng Mochen charged forward and swept her into his arms, spinning her until she fell onto the bed.
"If I can’t kiss our son, surely I can kiss you, right? Little lady, your temper’s flaring! Could it be that you’re feeling unsatisfied? Fine, then, I’ll take good care of you tonight!"
With their noses almost touching, his dark gaze burned with intensity, making Li Si’s face heat up.
"What are you talking about? I still need a shower! Let go!" she protested, her face reddening as she pushed him hard—but he didn’t budge an inch.
It was clear: the physical differences between men and women were undeniable. If he wanted to play around, he could easily push her away, but if he got serious, even all her strength would have no effect.
Raising an eyebrow teasingly, Leng Mochen murmured, "If you wash up nice and clean, it’ll be better... more suitable for me."
"You know it’s not time yet!" Li Si huffed, her head spinning from the warmth radiating from his body like a furnace.
"Eighteen days left on the countdown," he whispered near her ear. "But, I can always collect a little interest first..."
