CHAPTER 253: CHAPTER 208: I TRUST HIM TO HANDLE THINGS

Li Si curiously watched Leng Mochen driving seriously, without saying a word. Although he had quietly instructed Jiang Feng earlier, she had overheard part of it, just hoping the result would head in the direction they wished.

Bai Shasha had been sitting quietly in the back seat since she got in, holding the sluggish Xiao Guai in her arms, her hand instinctively soothing it, stroking its head.

Today, she truly had her eyes opened. She originally thought that President Si had finally overcome her trials to find an attentive and caring fiancé, whose family seemed decent too.

But now, after seeing all this, which face was truly real? Mrs. Leng’s twisted expression and endlessly chattering mouth were still flashing in her mind.

Fortunately, Brother Leng had been quite protective of her, but she still felt uneasy. After all, the two were not yet married, and who could say what might happen in the long run after they tied the knot?

She thought it was necessary to remind Si at the right time to leave herself some leverage.

In the midst of everyone’s silence, the car arrived at Bai Shasha’s residence. Reluctantly, she put Xiao Guai down, "Si, you must keep your word. When I’m off the day after tomorrow, I’ll bring Xiao Guai over to find you!"

"Of course I’ll keep my word! Shasha, take care of yourself. There are some things I’ll tell you in detail when we meet again!" Li Si knew Bai Shasha had been holding herself back the whole ride, and aside from matters of her rebirth, there were other things she genuinely wanted to share with her.

It’s just that now was not the right time; some words are better spoken in private.

Bai Shasha smiled knowingly, made a goodbye gesture, watched their car drive away, and then turned to head upstairs.

Li Si watched Bai Shasha’s figure grow smaller via the rearview mirror until she could no longer see her. Then, she turned to Leng Mochen with a smile: "Do you think it’s inappropriate for me, as Leng Mochen’s fiancée, not to go to the hospital? You’re not upset with me, are you?"

Leng Mochen’s lips curled slightly: "Silly, if you went to the hospital, wouldn’t you just be asking to be scolded? Or do you have a masochistic streak? Why would I blame you?"

"It wasn’t your fault to begin with. And remember, we’re on the same team! What do outsiders’ opinions matter? If that’s the case, then it’s the Leng Family that first acted wrongly."

He had always known a day like this would come, though he didn’t expect it to arrive so soon!

Since Mrs. Leng insisted on that child, Qian Rouxuan would certainly not let things rest. Even if Li Si avoided her, she would find opportunities to stir up trouble. This situation was better—it wasn’t ideal that the child got hurt, but what can you say? He has a mother with questionable intentions.

What the store clerk said earlier—no one is a fool—it was clearly an attempt to endanger herself, so that after being injured, Mrs. Leng would grow more and more discontented with Li Si until she completely despised her.

But her calculations were ambitious, and the outcome would never match up to her expectations. Instead, she even caused her own child to get hurt.

First of all, he wasn’t the person she thought he was, so her tender gestures of wronged affection were wasted in vain. Secondly, Mrs. Leng’s defense of her was merely based on the fact she had given birth to her grandson. If one day Mrs. Leng realized how gravely mistaken she’d been, where else could Qian Rouxuan go?

Li Si made a playful "you-get-it" gesture, but suddenly thought of something and asked Leng Mochen: "I wonder how things are going on Jiang Feng’s end?"

She was faintly worried—unsure whether he could handle it alone against several people—and they still needed a way to obtain what they wanted!

Leng Mochen affectionately ruffled her hair: "Don’t you hold him in high regard? I trust his work!"

His words drew a teasing retort from Li Si: "Tch! As if I don’t know—it’s the same you who, when I praised him for a few things, got so jealous you almost cut his salary, isn’t it?"

She couldn’t help but laugh at the memory. Back then, when Jiang Feng helped decorate her senior manager’s home, she merely said a few compliments about his work. After that, what did he do to the guy? Sent him far away to develop some market. It wasn’t until much later that he let him return.

Leng Mochen’s face showed a hint of embarrassment. He had indeed acted with selfish intentions back then, but wasn’t it because he didn’t yet understand his feelings?

"That was due to work needs! Talented people need to apply their skills where they’re needed! Look at Mo Si now—Jiang Feng’s salary is the highest among them, isn’t it?"

Li Si tilted her head to look at the car’s ceiling—though all she could see was the roof—and inwardly muttered, "Petty!"

Leng Mochen caught a glimpse of her playful expression from the corner of his eye and shook his head, amused but helpless. With such antics, she managed to captivate his heart endlessly—how could he possibly resist?

In the end, these two carefree souls, bound by their rebirths and shared trust, returned home, indulged in each other’s affection, and finally drifted into a deep sleep.
