Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!

Chapter 540 - 457: Stop Glorifying Yourself (5 more)

On what she thought would be the happiest day of her life, her beloved child was almost kidnapped—how could she possibly accept this?

Li Si returned to her room, hugging Buding, and lay down for a long time before she could calm herself.

Looking at her son’s adorable little face, she felt an immense sense of relief—thankfully, he was still here!

"Who told you something? I..." Leng Mochen tried to explain his intentions and the painstaking thought behind them.

Li Si covered his mouth with her hand. "You don’t have to say anything! No one told me—I overheard by accident what you and Sister Ding talked about. That day, I was just curious about where Xiao Tong had gone.

Actually, when I think about it, I understand! The reason you kept it from me was for my own good. You didn’t want me to live every day in fear and anxiety!

But have you thought about this? Without telling me, I know nothing! If, because of my carelessness, I lost Buding, I’d never forgive myself!

If you’d told me, I’d have been even more cautious, more vigilant, and better able to protect Buding."

Leng Mochen kissed her palm tenderly and pulled her into his arms. "I just want you to be happy! I want you and Buding to live safely and healthily under my protection!

But things didn’t go as I hoped; there are always dangers close to you! I haven’t been the good husband, the good father, that I should be!"

The parking garage, the rooftop of Mo Si Tower—every time, danger reared its head.

And now, it involves Buding. He’s so small and defenseless, unable to resist at all.

As a man who’s supposed to stand tall and firm, he felt he hadn’t done enough!

Li Si snuggled comfortably in his embrace, tilted her head up, and playfully nipped at his chin. "Silly! How could you think like that? Don’t you know? You’re the best husband and father in the world! Absolutely amazing!"

Leng Mochen kissed her forehead. "Really?"

"Of course!" Li Si’s starry eyes sparkled as she blinked at him.

"Alright, I’ll trust you this once!" Though he was moved, he remembered that tomorrow was the memorial day for his late father-in-law’s exhumation. He forced himself to suppress his desires.

Li Si yawned so wide that tears spilled from her eyes.

She hugged him tightly and said, "So sleepy! Goodnight, best husband!"

"Goodnight, best wife!" Leng Mochen softly patted her back as she gradually fell asleep.

Once he was sure she was sound asleep, Leng Mochen carefully got up, placed her head on the soft pillow, and covered her with a light blanket.

He went to the bathroom for a cold shower and when he came out, Li Si had already twisted into some unrecognizable position in her deep sleep, her posture completely changed. Leng Mochen gritted his teeth and covered the tempting parts of her body.

Drying his hair, he entered the study—better to focus on work. If this went on, he’d have to take yet another cold shower. Even in summer, that wasn’t sustainable.

He flipped through some documents for a while when his phone rang. It was Long Wu calling.

"What’s up?"

Long Wu’s teasing voice came through the receiver. "Oh, wow! Judging by your tone, it seems someone’s frustrated tonight! What, your wife didn’t satisfy you?"

Leng Mochen frowned in annoyance. "Shut up, idiot! You’re calling this late just to say that? Fine, I’m hanging up!"

"Wait, don’t! Geez, what’s with you? Can’t even take a joke. Alright, back to serious matters—about the guy you asked me to investigate, there’s some progress."

"Go on," Leng Mochen said, putting his documents aside to listen carefully.

"This guy was involved in a case abroad. Interpol’s investigating him, and Heizi is in contact with their side. If things go smoothly, maybe we can arrest him directly.

But if this guy really is your old man’s illegitimate son, won’t that make things tricky?" Long Wu knew all about the situation except for the Qin Xin matter, so he couldn’t help but wonder how to handle it.

"Hard to say."

Long Wu rambled, "That’s what I’m worried about. If he really gets into the Leng Family, some things will be harder to manage!"

"Probably not!" Leng Mochen thought of his father and Mrs. Leng. Neither of them would ever allow someone like that to enter their home.

The next day, everything was ready. Leng Mochen and Li Si, dressed in black, followed the Feng Shui Master’s instructions carefully.

In such an atmosphere, Li Si couldn’t help but shed tears.

Sometimes she often thought, if her father were still alive, how wonderful it would be. He’d have been able to see her get married, have children, and live a happy life.

But alas, fate is often preordained by heaven—there’s no changing it.

She was lucky to have been reborn; it was already a blessing from the heavens!

However, uninvited guests arrived at the cemetery!

Their voices arrived before they did: "What do you think you’re doing?"

The newcomers were none other than the Li Family!

Zhang Meihua and Li Guofu supported Grandma Li, with Li Fei trailing behind.

At the back were Wu Dachuan and Li Guozhi.

The one who had just shouted out was Zhang Meihua. She marched over angrily, her face filled with sorrow, glaring at Li Si and the others. "Li Si! How could you disturb your father’s grave like this? How could you live with yourself?"

Li Guofu also looked heartbroken. "Child, how could you make such a huge decision on your own? Moving the grave without telling me?"

After speaking, he nudged Grandma Li with his elbow, hoping she’d chime in as well. After all, she was the one with the most authority here—it was her eldest son’s grave!

Grandma Li looked at Li Si, tears welling up in her eyes, but she said nothing and just sighed deeply.

She had long known this day would come!

Now that Li Si was married and living in Beijing, there was little chance she’d come back to this little place in North City unless absolutely necessary.

When it came to traditional offerings like burning joss paper or delivering tributes during festivals, who could handle that for her eldest son?

Maybe for a year or two, but longer? Who could they count on? Guofu? Guozhi?

Relying on anyone else was useless—it was better to count on her daughter.

Besides, she’d receive a monthly pension, so she couldn’t find the strength to say anything else in protest now.

Li Si smiled coldly and asked them in return, "Why would I need to tell you? It’s my father’s grave I’m moving! What does it have to do with any of you?"

Wu Dachuan scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Li Si, are you still holding grudges against us? Yes, we were wrong at the time! But later, we realized our mistakes. We’re family—what can’t be forgiven?"

"Don’t flatter yourselves. For starters, your last name is Wu! And secondly, I’m not part of your so-called family! Would family do something as cruel as selling someone’s bone marrow? Get lost already! If you mess up the auspicious timing, I guarantee you’ll regret it!" Li Si crossed her arms and called for the workers to resume their tasks.

Wu Dachuan immediately backed down, and Li Guozhi didn’t dare step forward either. Honestly, they hadn’t even wanted to come today.

They knew they’d never be able to win against Li Si. With her wealth and resources, how could they compete?

And morally, she was in the right—it was only natural for a daughter to relocate her father’s grave.

But Li Guofu’s family wouldn’t listen. They even went so far as to bring Grandma Li all the way over from the countryside.

Grandma Li had been reluctant to come herself, but under their relentless coercion and persuasion, she finally gave in and showed up.
