Chapter 483: Chapter 400 Missed Me to Death
Li Si and Leng Ning didn’t pay attention to the two downstairs. The two of them were joyfully rummaging through the two large suitcases of gifts Leng Mochen had brought back.
Perfume, cosmetics, and some fun and interesting little trinkets—Leng Ning finally selected several items while Leng Mochen sat on the sofa in the bedroom, watching them bustling back and forth.
Just then, Leng Ning’s phone rang. She put down the perfume she was examining, pulled out her phone, and saw it was a call from Jin Yichen. Her expression turned complex.
Ever since the day Jin Yichen called her and learned that her parents had a fallout over that matter, he hadn’t contacted her again. So what did this sudden call mean today? Could it be—?
Leng Ning frowned slightly.
Li Si sat next to Leng Mochen and asked if the lip gloss she had just applied looked good.
Leng Mochen glanced at Leng Ning, who was turned away from them, taking the call, and leaned close to Li Si’s ear: "Are you deliberately seducing me?"
From the moment he saw Li Si, a feral energy had been boiling inside him. Unfortunately, not only were there two days left, but the house had a couple of outsiders, which left him feeling frustrated.
Now, seeing her unbelievably tempting, soft pink lips, he felt a cat clawing at his heart.
Li Si raised her brows, pouted, and gave him a mischievous look. "What if I said I was?"
She could clearly see the deep fire of desire igniting in his eyes.
Only she herself knew how eagerly she had been longing for his return. Seeing the person she’d been yearning day and night, all she wanted was to hug him tightly and share a passionate kiss.
At this moment, Leng Ning finished her call and turned around to see the two intertwined gazes between them, their emotions tangling as though glued together. What was there not to understand?
"Well, Brother, Sister-in-law, am I shining too brightly as a third wheel here?!"
Li Si waved a fist at her playfully. "You little rascal!"
"Heehee! I’ll head out now. You two carry on!" Leng Ning blew them a playful kiss, and since Jin Yichen had just asked her out, she turned and darted out the door.
As soon as Leng Ning closed the door and left, Leng Mochen pounced on Li Si. "I’ve missed you so much!"
The two fell into a passionate kiss, their fiery chemistry igniting. By the end, all of her newly applied lip gloss had been devoured into his mouth.
His lips were left traced with smears of her lip gloss, and Li Si’s collar was tugged open. They stopped just short of going further.
The two had done just about everything they could.
Afterwards, Leng Mochen murmured against her ear, biting it gently, "Just two more days! I wish I could have you right now!"
"Me too!" Li Si rarely responded so proactively, kissing his cheek in turn.
The people downstairs had no idea what was happening upstairs, where things had grown so steamy.
Leng Ning had merely said she had something to tend to and left. Mr. Leng opened his mouth but, seeing Mrs. Leng’s expression, ultimately refrained from saying anything.
He had originally planned to ask Leng Ning to give Xiao Jin a message—to find a time to invite Jin Jiachao out for a meeting and to have a talk.
What Mrs. Leng had said to him just earlier had been eye-opening, and for Xiao Ning’s sake, he was willing to make an effort.
Too bad no one believed him!
Mrs. Leng noticed Buding yawning and promptly called Sister Ding. "Is the baby sleepy? Take him upstairs! Wait, no—let’s put him to sleep here first. Ah! That’s not right either. My son just returned, and now it’s just the two of them upstairs. Maybe they’re enjoying their little reunion; let’s not disturb them!"
Sister Ding laughed and nodded, taking some stored milk from the fridge to heat it up for Buding.
Soon, Buding ate his fill and gradually closed his little eyes, drifting off to sleep.
Mr. Leng wanted to take the child into his arms, but Mrs. Leng shot him a sharp look to stop him.
"You don’t need to! Xiao Ding! Quickly take the baby! He’s clingy even while sleeping. If someone unfamiliar holds him, he’ll definitely wake up!"
Sister Ding awkwardly handed over the child. Ever since the elder Mrs. Leng arrived two days ago, her stress had noticeably increased.
Usually, when the madam was present, Sister Ding did everything according to her own set routines.
Before now, she hadn’t realized Mrs. Leng could be so particular. But ever since she cried and moved in that night—
The milk being too hot wasn’t acceptable! The baby wearing too little wasn’t acceptable! She found fault with everything.
People tend to stick to their habits. Her previous employers had been picky in-laws too, so she’d gotten used to those dynamics.
The past few months here had been calm and serene, and she had grown accustomed to this way of managing things.
Mr. Leng’s expression was somewhat awkward. Watching Sister Ding carry the child into the downstairs room, he sat back on the sofa.
"Now that Mochen has returned, why don’t you come back home with me? It’s not right to keep staying at the child’s place!"
"I’m not going back! Why should I go back? Didn’t you tell me to leave? What do you take me for—to leave when told and return when called? Am I that cheap?" Mrs. Leng grumbled while folding Buding’s small clothes on the sofa, sulking.
"Fine! Fine, I’ll leave! Does that work for you?" Mr. Leng realized her anger hadn’t subsided yet. He thought for a moment and continued persuading her. "Mochen’s wedding is in just half a month, and many things are waiting for you to handle. You can blame me for whatever you want, but can we postpone the reckoning? By then, I’m willing to take whatever you dish out!"
Seeing that Mrs. Leng merely curled her lips without responding, he gritted his teeth and added, "Alright! As long as you come home with me, I’ll personally meet Jin Jiachao if you insist. If it turns out he’s not as bad as I thought, I promise I’ll no longer oppose Xiao Ning’s situation! Will that satisfy you?"
Mrs. Leng finally softened, her expression thoughtful. "You mean it?"
She knew how to prioritize. With the wedding so close, if any gossip or rumors were stirred up about the two of them, the sacrifices and efforts made earlier to suppress negative news would have been in vain.
Still, she couldn’t swallow her anger. After all, she was over fifty years old—how could she tolerate being told to leave like that?
Nonetheless, his latest suggestion struck a chord. Compared to her own pride, her daughter’s happiness mattered infinitely more.
Besides, after her son’s wedding, she definitely planned to settle accounts with him thoroughly.
"Of course! If I fail to uphold my end later, you can do whatever you feel is right!" Mr. Leng made a solemn promise.
So, by the time Li Si and Leng Mochen had finished their loving antics upstairs, tidied their hair, and washed their faces before coming downstairs, Mrs. Leng, with a faint smile on her face, had already bid them farewell and agreed to return to her own home.
Leng Mochen couldn’t have been happier to see her go. He quickly had Li Si take out the gifts they’d bought abroad and distribute them as parting tokens. When they finally saw her off, even Li Si felt relieved.
If Mrs. Leng were her actual mother-in-law, things might have been different. But unfortunately, what was fake could only remain fake. Deep down, she never saw her as a mother-in-law.
The past two days hadn’t just made her feel awkward at times; even Sister Ding’s discomfort had become apparent.
Thank goodness she’d finally left!
Leng Mochen and Li Si exchanged a glance before silently returning to their room, where they cuddled and talked about the days he’d been away.
Leng Mochen kept things vague, mentioning only a few matters from his time abroad but deliberately leaving out what happened at the banquet.
Now that he was back in the country, he didn’t intend to visit Y Country often unless absolutely necessary.
Moreover, the investigation was still inconclusive, and he didn’t want Li Si worrying unnecessarily for now. (To be continued.
