CHAPTER 593: CHAPTER 510: DO WE KNOW EACH OTHER?

"Li Si, I think instead of buying these bedding sets now, why don’t you wait until your Mo Si International opens and pick something from there?"

Li Si and Bai Shasha walked out of a luxuriously decorated home furnishing store, chatting as they walked.

"Sure! It’s not like a few days will make a difference!"

The two had visited many stores, but Bai Shasha hadn’t found anything she was particularly satisfied with.

Though the house prepared by Xu Er’s family was mostly fully furnished, there were some home items she still wanted to select according to her personal taste.

Bai Shasha glanced at her watch—it was already past one o’clock.

"How did time fly by so fast? I feel like we haven’t even shopped for long! Alright, let’s go. Lunchtime is sacred, we can’t starve ourselves!"

Li Si held her arm, looked around at their surroundings, and spotted a seemingly decent Western restaurant.

"How about having Western food?" she suggested.

Bai Shasha nodded with a smile, "Sure! I’m craving steak!"

Once inside the restaurant, Bai Shasha couldn’t help but sigh. The ambiance of this place was indeed excellent, and it wasn’t crowded. They found a window seat to settle in.

After ordering, Li Si took a sip of water before speaking, "I won’t be able to go out with you tomorrow; I have to attend a banquet with my husband."

Tomorrow’s banquet required her to attend in full dress. In their circle, there were certain events that demanded both spouses to be present.

Bai Shasha clutched her hand across the table, pouting, "What am I going to do without you?"

These past days, whenever Bai Shasha had free time, Li Si had accompanied her on shopping trips.

Li Si playfully scolded her, "Oh, stop it! Who are you married to anyway? Go find your Xu Er!"

She had been spinning like a top recently, constantly busy.

Thankfully, Leng Ning was very easygoing, and Jin Yichen was with her the whole time.

Bai Shasha grinned smugly, "Hmph, fine, I’ll go find him! After all, I’m a married woman too!"

Truth be told, now that the wedding date had been set, she found Xu Er more and more likable, and her heart felt increasingly at ease.

Speaking of the devil, just then, Bai Shasha’s phone ringtone echoed, "Sweet, sweet, your smile is so sweet..."

"See! This is what they call a connection of hearts! We’re perfectly in sync!" she said as she answered the call. "Hey! I’m out with Li Si!"

Her tone immediately turned sugary sweet. Li Si didn’t even have the energy to roll her eyes and suddenly felt like going to the restroom. She gestured to Bai Shasha.

Bai Shasha quickly waved her hand, signaling that she understood.

After asking the waiter for the restroom’s location, Li Si slowly made her way over.

The decor of this Western restaurant leaned heavily European, though it was far inferior in feel to Long Wu’s establishment.

The hallway’s wallpaper and carpet complemented each other beautifully. As Li Si entered the restroom, she bumped into a girl in a magenta dress rushing out in a hurry.

"Sorry!"

"My apologies!"

They both apologized at the same time.

When they looked up, both paused slightly in surprise—it was none other than a completely transformed Qin Xin.

She had clearly recognized Li Si, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes as she quickly said, "So sorry! I was walking too fast!"

Though her eyes carried a hint of appraisal, the current Li Si had undergone a significant transformation compared to a few years ago. Perhaps because of marriage, she now exuded an aura of refined elegance.

Li Si gave her a calm glance, "It’s fine. I wasn’t paying attention either."

Saying so, she tried to step around her to go inside, but Qin Xin unwillingly let out an "Ah."

When Li Si turned back to look at her indifferently, Qin Xin hesitated, her words stumbling, "Well, I..."

"Do we know each other?" Li Si asked knowingly. She was certain Qin Xin recognized her but played dumb on purpose.

As expected, Qin Xin quickly shook her hand and forced an awkward smile, "No, we don’t!"

In truth, their acquaintance barely counted as more than a fleeting moment, and with how different she looked now, even if Li Si had the best memory, she probably wouldn’t remember her.

Li Si turned and entered, a faint, cold smirk tugging at her lips. So, she had come to Beijing!

It was unsurprising—if she and Nie Xiuwei were working together, and they hadn’t gained anything in North City, where else would they go?

The thought left Li Si feeling a little uneasy. Even though Leng Mochen had shown no interest in his ex-girlfriend, she couldn’t help feeling a tinge of jealousy.

She wondered, back when she encountered him in the elevator during her past life, were they still a couple?

Exiting the restroom, Li Si had already rationalized her thoughts. Now, he was no longer Lu Zhenghang—he was Leng Mochen, with a completely new heart.

No matter what happened in their past lives, in this life, he was her man and hers alone.

By the time she returned to her seat, her expression had returned to normal.

Bai Shasha was still chatting sweetly on the phone. Li Si noticed their food was being served, and out of habit, glanced around. Roughly four or five tables away, she spotted a woman sitting with her back to them, dining with another woman wearing sunglasses and her long hair down.

Having just run into her in the restroom, Li Si immediately recognized Qin Xin’s hairstyle and outfit. She deduced that the woman with her back to her was undeniably Qin Xin.

What piqued her curiosity was the woman in the sunglasses. Whether intentional or not, she seemed to glance in Li Si’s direction several times.

Bai Shasha finally ended her call, drinking a sip of rich red wine to soothe her throat before speaking, "Xu Er said he’ll be attending tomorrow’s banquet too, and he’ll take me along! Hehe, the gossip material is practically presenting itself!"

"Just eat your food!" Li Si retorted, rolling her eyes at Shasha’s work-obsessed mindset.

Meanwhile, at Qin Xin’s table, the woman in sunglasses asked softly, "Hey, the one dressed in the latest collection behind us—is that Mo Si’s president’s wife?"

Qin Xin glanced back once and confirmed, "Yes. Why do you ask?"

The woman in sunglasses toyed with her long hair, smiling seductively, "Know your enemy, of course. That Mr. Leng is exactly my type! As for his wife, hmm, doesn’t seem like much!"

She glanced at Li Si before lowering her head to look at herself. Her chest size was larger, and her features were sharper, thanks to some slight cosmetic enhancements that made her more photogenic.

Qin Xin coughed lightly, putting on a serious expression. "Zheng Qian! If you’re harboring thoughts like that, I’ll suggest to your cousin to replace you as a guest performer at Mo Si’s opening!"

For some reason, she was suddenly annoyed, finding Zheng Qian particularly displeasing.

Zheng Qian pouted in grievance, "Sister Ling, I was just joking. Why do you have to take it so seriously? Hmph, I’m done talking to you!"

Her lowered eyes, however, flashed with disdain. Just a lackey under her cousin—what’s there to be so smug about?

Qin Xin said no more but began to formulate her own thoughts.

Leng Mochen unexpectedly received an email. Opening it, he found only one line: "Be wary of everything when Mo Si opens!"

He smirked coldly. No matter who sent this, whether it was a warning or carried ulterior motives, it didn’t matter to him.

He’d already made all the necessary preparations. If the opponent dared to show up, they’d be walking straight into his trap.

When Li Si pushed open the door and saw the calculating look on his face, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Spill it—what sneaky plan are you cooking up now?"

Recently, she had sensed something was off. He was definitely hiding something from her.

He gave her a faint smile, "Is that how you talk to your husband?"

He didn’t plan to tell her everything, as he didn’t want her to worry. He only gave her a brief account of the company matters.

"I was just thinking about the upcoming opening of Mo Si..."

After listening, Li Si lowered her gaze, grasped his hand, and locked eyes with him. "That Qin Xin—is she in Beijing?" (To be continued.
