CHAPTER 260: CHAPTER 210 PERHAPS SHE REALLY MADE A MISTAKE_2

Mrs. Leng naturally wouldn’t budge. It’s so late already, if they were to leave, it should be tomorrow. Honestly, she was quite conflicted inside at that moment.

She was happy to have John move in, but to be honest, having Qian Rouxuan there made her feel uneasy. That day when John got injured at the hospital, she could have just let the child go back home with his mother, but she felt too guilty to do so.

She was worried that the child might hold a grudge against them from then on, making it difficult to pick him up or see him in the future.

After considering everything, she decided to bring both mother and son back. But after Leng Ning caused such a fuss earlier, she started to feel that maybe she really made some mistakes.

Putting other issues aside, in the eyes of outsiders, her son Mochen did indeed have a fiancée. But now, suddenly bringing back a boy and a woman — if people found out, what would they think of their family?

Qian Rouxuan pretended like she was reluctantly staying but ended up settling in.

Mrs. Leng watched her take John upstairs and sighed. Perhaps she truly had made a mistake.

...

The next day, June 1st, Children’s Day, Bai Shasha was so excited that she called Li Si early in the morning, bombarding her, afraid Li Si might forget her promise to bring Xiao Guai to her place.

Li Si groaned as she reached under her pillow to grab her endlessly ringing Little Demon—her phone.

Half-asleep, she answered the call, while Leng Mochen stretched out his long arm from beside her, pulled her into his embrace, kissed her cheek, and drifted back to sleep.

"Hello!" Her tone clearly carried some displeasure.

On the other end, Bai Shasha suddenly realized she might have interrupted someone’s sweet dreams. Her guilty voice came through softly: "Si, when are you bringing Xiao Guai over?"

Li Si couldn’t help but mutter, "Sis, you called last night to confirm this; do you really think I’d forget? Just get ready at home with good food and drinks. Xiao Guai and I are coming to console you, our pitiful child celebrating the holiday!"

Last night, after coming back from celebrating Leng Ning’s birthday, Bai Shasha had called, persistently reminding her not to forget and to come early.

"Haha, then I’ll be waiting for you! See you later!" Bai Shasha hung up so quickly she didn’t even register Li Si’s last comment. Only after hanging up did she think, Wait a minute... isn’t today your holiday too? But—what does "child" even mean?

Leng Mochen tightened his embrace with dissatisfaction. "So today you’re really willing to ditch me to reunite with your dear best friend?" He stared at her with an expression full of grievance.

Li Si rubbed her still-drowsy eyes, yawned, and said, "Good husband, you won’t blame me, right? We have plenty of time to be together, but poor Shasha only has one day. So, how about you take this opportunity to enjoy some free time today, okay?"

"It’s not that I’m against it, but—you’ll have to agree to one condition!" Leng Mochen leaned over, his gaze drifting to her alluring collarbone, and his thoughts started shifting.

Li Si was all too familiar with his shifts in mood. As soon as she spotted the change in his expression, she tried to get up and flee.

Unfortunately, she stood no chance against his strength and was pinned down directly. "Little one, come on, let’s get in some morning exercise!"

She protested logically, "Only once, and you have to make your own plans for the day—no complaints!" Her poor waist—it was about to suffer again.

"Alright! Deal! Come here, my wife..." At this point, he’d probably agree to anything!

An hour later, Li Si finally managed to get ready and, with Xiao Guai dressed neatly, drove straight to Bai Shasha’s place.

As soon as they arrived downstairs, she got out of the car, picked up Xiao Guai, and locked the vehicle.

She was immediately met with a few curious neighbors. They all gazed at Xiao Guai in her arms with friendly faces. After all, cats and dogs were common pets—monkeys not so much.

Meeting one sparked excitement among them. Some came up to ask how difficult it was to raise a monkey, while others looked at her sports car with envy. A few young ones even whipped out their phones to take pictures.

Perhaps feeling a little out of place, Xiao Guai turned its head away with an air of arrogance upon noticing the scrutiny.

This amused the onlookers, who burst into laughter. At that moment, Bai Shasha, spotting Li Si’s car from upstairs, burst out of the building in slippers. She ran toward them, shouting, "Xiao Guai! I’ve missed you so much! Waaa! Come here, into my arms!"

When she reached them, she immediately took Xiao Guai from Li Si’s hands, showering the monkey with affectionate words while completely ignoring Li Si.

Li Si rolled her eyes to the sky. Whatever. Why fight love with love? She leisurely followed behind them.

Some older ladies nearby pointed and whispered—probably discussing the little monkey. Li Si didn’t bother paying them any mind.

Once inside, Bai Shasha plopped down on the sofa with Xiao Guai in her arms. Li Si noticed two large grocery bags on the coffee table. Out of curiosity, she rifled through them. The variety of snacks was impressive—fruit, nuts, everything!
