Chapter 539: Chapter 456 He Came to North City (4 Updates)
Leng Mochen resembled a cat toying with a mouse as he glanced at his watch: "Apologies! Manager Sima, I have another meeting to attend!"
Qin Xin quickly stood up but still, unwilling to give up, asked again: "If that’s the case, I won’t disturb President Leng any longer! However, the proposal I mentioned earlier—I hope you’ll seriously consider it!"
"Alright!" Leng Mochen’s lips curved into a faint smile.
It wasn’t until Qin Xin bid her farewell and left that Li Si emerged from the lounge.
She approached him playfully: "Let me interview you for a moment. Looking at that face, what’s your impression?"
Leng Mochen closed the folder and replied with a straight face, "Makes me want to vomit!"
"Haha!" Li Si was delighted by his answer. "I actually think it’s quite fascinating. Aside from her gaze, everything else has changed quite beautifully. If I bumped into her on the street, I might not even recognize her!"
After all, she had only met the woman once, not understanding her as deeply as Leng Mochen did.
Thinking about this, she shifted her focus again, saying, "I want to eat boiled fish! Spicy hotpot!"
Leng Mochen looked at her knowingly: "Are you tormenting yourself or me?"
Li Si couldn’t eat spicy food—each time she had even a bit, her lips would swell.
Every time he saw her in that state, it only made him want to cherish her all the more.
"Tormenting both of us!" Li Si blinked playfully.
"You and I, heart to heart..." Leng Mochen suddenly sang that line, instantly dispelling Li Si’s minor annoyance.
Li Si burst into laughter: "Haha, stop teasing! Alright, let’s not go. I’m starving! Let’s grab something else!"
The two, brimming with marital sweetness, headed out to eat.
Meanwhile, they were unaware that Qin Xin, upon arriving at the parking lot and getting into her car, was suddenly pulled onto the lap of the man in the driver’s seat, who kissed her ferociously!
"Mmph!" Qin Xin instinctively wanted to resist—it was broad daylight, after all! But recalling something, her hands lightly rested on the man’s shoulders.
After a while, the man finally let go of the breathless Qin Xin.
"What was his response?" If Leng Mochen or Li Si saw this man, they’d certainly recognize him as none other than Nie Xiuwei!
"He said he’d consider it!" Qin Xin adjusted her disheveled blouse, her undergarment straps having already been unclasped.
Nie Xiuwei tapped the steering wheel thoughtfully. "What do you think are the chances he’ll agree?"
Qin Xin pondered for a moment and shook her head, "Hard to say! Also, he still remembers my original voice! It terrified me!"
Her back was still drenched with sweat. What kind of memory does he have? He remembered someone’s voice, even after years?
Could it be that he had some thoughts about her back then?
Nie Xiuwei smirked wickedly, tilting her chin up: "I was wondering why your skin felt so clammy—thought something might’ve happened between you two in such a short time!"
"You!" Qin Xin bit her lip in anger. This man had a knack for saying the most hurtful things.
"Alright, alright, darling! I’m just joking! This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go to your place and properly discuss our plans!" Nie Xiuwei pulled her into an embrace, consoling her, "Have you missed me?"
"Just drive already!" Qin Xin avoided his touch, her cheeks flushing at his indecency, catching herself somewhere between love and hate, her body reacting naturally.
Just as they drove out of the parking lot, Leng Mochen—dining nearby with Li Si—received a report from his subordinate.
Li Si ultimately chose Western cuisine, and the restaurant happened to be across from Mo Si Branch. Judging by appearances, it was newly opened and, compared to Jia Yuejing’s restaurant in the mall, provided better food and ambiance.
As she lifted a piece of steak into her mouth, she saw the playful expression on Leng Mochen’s face as he took a phone call.
Once he hung up, she asked, "What happened?"
Leng Mochen elegantly sliced his steak, responding enigmatically: "Nie Xiuwei just appeared in the parking lot."
As for the rest his subordinate reported, Leng Mochen kept silent.
Li Si set down her utensils, her expression tense: "Why’s he in North City now? Could he be plotting something against us? This won’t do—I’m going back to check on Buding after we eat.
It’s one thing if it’s just us adults, but if Buding were hurt, it’d be devastating!"
Leng Mochen touched his nose, "Alright! Then hurry and eat!"
He wanted to say that this trick might have been attempted already, but he withheld it, choosing to deal with matters first before breaking the news to her later.
Li Si rushed home, finding Xiao Guai and Sister Ding sitting on the sofa watching TV. She asked nervously, "Is Buding asleep?"
Sister Ding rose and, noticing how tense Li Si seemed, found it odd and replied, "Madam, the baby just fell asleep!"
"Oh, asleep—that’s good! Sister Ding, you’ve worked hard, go take a rest. I’ll go check on the baby!" Li Si finally breathed a sigh of relief, changed her shoes, and went to see Buding.
"Got it, Madam!" Sister Ding felt puzzled but suddenly had a thought—could Madam have learned that Buding was almost hurt that day?
Seeing Buding sleeping soundly in the crib, Li Si finally felt the heavy weight on her chest lift completely.
Before she had a child, she never understood the feelings of being a parent.
Ever since Buding was born, she realized how devastated and sorrowful she would be if anything were to happen to him.
Gently, she stroked his cheek. A baby’s skin was incredibly smooth and tender, making her utterly adore him.
She kissed his forehead and whispered, "Baby, Mommy will always love you!"
Seeing him sleep so soundly, Li Si yawned, feeling fatigued herself, deciding to nap as well.
When he woke up, she’d be there to play with him again.
The next day, Feng Shui Master Mr. Qin arrived to survey Li Guoqiang’s gravesite. Based on birth dates, times, and other data, he calculated that July 7—two days from now—was an auspicious day for relocation.
Li Si and Leng Mochen fully cooperated, even assigning two subordinates to procure the necessary items as instructed.
On the 6th, Li Si originally wanted to visit the villa her father left behind, but news of Leng Qiankai’s illegitimate son arriving in North City left her feeling deeply unsettled, keeping her from going anywhere.
In the end, Leng Mochen dispatched someone to take the villa key and tidy it up.
As night fell, when it was time to sleep, Leng Mochen noticed Li Si’s anxiety.
"Don’t worry! That Feng Shui Master has done this so many times—it’s second nature to him."
Li Si hugged him back and spoke softly: "I’m not only worried about my father’s affair. I’m fretting over Buding!"
"What’s wrong with Buding?" Leng Mochen’s expression shifted slightly, though his tone remained calm.
Interest flickered in his eyes. Could it be what he suspected?
Li Si gazed at him despondently: "How long were you planning to keep it from me? I already know—on our wedding day, Buding was almost kidnapped, wasn’t he?"
Today, she happened to overhear Sister Ding chatting with Leng Mochen near the study, shocking her so much she could barely stand upright. (To be continued.
