Chapter 515: Chapter 432: Why Not?
"Mr. Leng!" Liu Xiaole stuck out her tongue playfully at Li Si. After gossiping about someone’s mother behind their back, the person in question suddenly appeared. Did he overhear anything?
Li Si gave her a reassuring look, signaling her not to worry!
This was the magic of the situation—only she and Leng Mochen knew the truth. Unfortunately, others didn’t, but it didn’t matter. After all, that mother-in-law wasn’t genuine either, so there was nothing to fear!
Leng Mochen purposely brought over a few refined desserts, hoping Li Si could have a quick bite to lighten her hunger.
Li Si had been preoccupied for the better part of the morning and was starving. She ate without regard for her image. "Xiaole! You eat some too!"
"You go ahead! Mr. Leng, Sisi, I’ll go eat my lunch then!" Liu Xiaole, always perceptive, naturally excused herself when she saw Leng Mochen, giving the two some alone time. Besides, she felt a bit guilty and wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
"Alright, go ahead!" Li Si waved at her with a smile.
"Tired?" Leng Mochen looked at her with concern, noticing the trace of fatigue in her eyes.
Li Si swallowed the osmanthus cake in her mouth and smiled while shaking her head. "Not too tired, really. It’s just that I’m dizzy—so many people, and now if you ask me, I can’t remember anyone! Also, my feet hurt so much!"
Before she could finish her sentence, Leng Mochen swiftly lifted her legs onto his lap, took off her shoes, and gently began to massage her feet. "I can see that the soles of your feet are a bit swollen. Does it feel better now?"
Li Si tried to retract her foot from his hands, but she couldn’t. She nervously glanced at the tightly closed wooden door, worried that someone might burst in at any moment.
"Oh no! Stop it! What if someone comes in? How embarrassing!" What kind of newlywed couple would act so intimately in a lounge room?
Leng Mochen chuckled as he looked at her. "What are you afraid of? I’m just massaging your feet; it’s not like we’re doing anything else!"
It’s not like he was crazy enough to try something outrageous here, right? But as he caught a glimpse of her fair, jade-like calves complemented by her red cheongsam, they looked even more seductive and alluring. He paused momentarily and redirected his thoughts by meeting her gaze.
"Still, it doesn’t look good! But it does feel really nice!" Li Si, unable to resist him, finally relented. And she had to admit, the massage really was relieving.
"As long as it feels good!" He continued pressing her sore spots with care.
"Buding is probably hungry! I’m already feeling engorged!" Earlier when she was changing outfits, she had to express some milk. At the time, she thought, her son must be famished. But Sister Ding had brought along her stored breast milk, so there was no need to worry.
Leng Mochen paused in his movements, keeping a neutral expression as he replied, "Hmm. I called earlier; the baby is still asleep."
It turned out that Buding had been under the care of Sister Ding and the newly hired Xiao Tong, with Jiang Tong and some others providing security around them.
Someone had disguised themselves as residential security personnel and colluded with Xiao Tong, attempting to use the chaos of the wedding as an opportunity to abduct the baby.
Fortunately, their scheme was exposed in time. Unfortunately, the perpetrator escaped, leaving Xiao Tong as the only one apprehended!
At the time, Buding had been soundly asleep and was thankfully unharmed.
Upon hearing the news, Heizi also immediately sent people to search the villa district and review its surveillance footage.
What audacity!
Leng Mochen dared not tell Li Si about this right now, knowing there was still a crowd of guests to attend to outside.
Only a few people were aware of this incident.
Even Mr. Leng Sr., Mr. Leng, and Mrs. Leng were unaware, as they were too busy hosting and entertaining guests outside.
"Really? Then after we see off the guests, the baby will probably wake up by then!" Li Si didn’t notice anything off about his expression.
Suddenly, the door was forcefully pushed open from the other side, taking both of them by surprise. Li Si hadn’t even had the chance to put her leg down before someone burst in.
The person entering was none other than Bai Shasha. Upon witnessing the scene, the tray in her hands nearly slipped to the floor. She froze momentarily, her face turning slightly red as she quickly turned around. "Ah! Continue, continue!"
She had thought only Li Si and Liu Xiaole were in the lounge, so she had hastily grabbed some food and rushed over. She never imagined she’d walk into such a tantalizingly ambiguous scene.
But hey, it was quite aesthetically pleasing! Too bad she didn’t take a picture!
Trailing behind her were Jiang Fan and the others, who weren’t as quick. Seeing Bai Shasha retreat to shut the door, they asked, "What’s going on?"
"Why did you come back out?!"
With the tray in her left hand, Bai Shasha waved her right hand dramatically. "See no evil, hear no evil! I have no idea!"
The hallway erupted with an uproar of knowing laughter and teasing.
From Bai Shasha’s entrance to her exit, it all happened in less than thirty seconds. As soon as Li Si put her leg down, her face flushed red as a ripe apple.
She glared at Leng Mochen accusingly. "This is all your fault!"
Standing up and adjusting her cheongsam, she patted her burning cheeks in an attempt to cool down. This was so embarrassing.
Hearing the laughter from the hallway outside only made her more furious. Who knows what scenarios they were imagining!
"Fine, fine, it’s all my fault!" Leng Mochen wasn’t upset. Instead, he gently hugged her. "I’ll go explain."
"Don’t bother! The more you explain, the worse it sounds!"
Li Si walked to open the door and yelled at the giggling faces outside, "Didn’t you say you were bringing me food? Where’s the food?"
"Here, here!" Bai Shasha winked at her playfully. "Is it convenient for me to come in now, Mrs. Bride?"
"Be serious!" Li Si said with a straight face.
Everyone entered the lounge, laughing good-naturedly, while Leng Mochen left, his expression calm as though nothing had happened.
As soon as he stepped out, Bai Shasha energetically turned toward Li Si. "Hmm, Li Si, even after all these years, your passion as a couple hasn’t dimmed one bit. Teach us poor singles some lessons, won’t you?"
This kind of remark was perfect for misunderstanding. Among the group, Simeng and the youngest, Zhang Qian, immediately rallied behind her, chiming in: "Yes, tell us, please!"
Earlier, they were all gushing about how incredibly blessed President Li was!
Not only did she snag an ultimate high-status, rich, and handsome man, but he also treated her so well!
The way he looked at her was full of tender affection, enough to drive all the single ladies green with envy!
Even Jiang Fan couldn’t help but join in. "Yeah, got any tips or tricks?"
It’s not like she was a martial artist or gamer! Tricks?
"My trick is... no tricks—just let things flow naturally!"
"Hahaha!" The lounge filled with laughter.
Afterward, Li Si and Leng Mochen worked together to personally see off all the guests, and then the Leng Family shared a celebratory reunion meal.
After dinner, Mrs. Leng and Mr. Leng graciously suggested that the newlyweds retreat to their bridal chamber, as some guests might still come by to pull wedding pranks later in the evening.
In the car, Li Si couldn’t help but kick off her shoes, her feet aching and her calves sore beyond relief.
Leng Mochen noticed and, once again, reached out to grab her foot, only to be met with a stern glare from her. Wasn’t the earlier humiliation enough? Not again!
He rubbed his nose awkwardly. "Xu Er and some others wanted to crash the bridal chamber, but I turned them down directly!"
Li Si paused mid-motion as she massaged her leg. She looked at him in disbelief. "They agreed?"
Earlier, even Bai Shasha had been smugly plotting mischievous ideas for the evening to mess with them thoroughly.
Was it really this easy to dissuade them?
"Yeah, I told them to head straight to the bar instead!"
"That works too!" Li Si relaxed, feeling relieved. She had been dreading how ruthless their teasing would be.
She still vividly remembered how much Su Meng had complained after her wedding pranks.
Who would’ve thought Leng Mochen would casually settle it like this? Amazing!
"Why wouldn’t it work?"
After what happened earlier with their son almost being taken, all he wanted was to return home and hold his wife and child to calm his nerves.
If anyone dared oppose him, could they even call themselves true friends?
Better to end those friendships sooner than later! (To be continued. If you enjoy this story, please visit Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
