CHAPTER 640: CHAPTER 557: OF COURSE

If their analysis is correct, a financial crisis is about to hit.

Some unknown crises might be looming, and many people are waiting to see them fail. Even worse, there are quite a few people waiting to take advantage of them.

Can’t she be willful just this once?

A hint of conflict flashed in Leng Mochen’s eyes, but he finally calmed down and reassured her gently, "I’ll only be gone for a few days and will definitely be back before then, okay?"

Some matters, he just wanted to handle quietly without causing Li Si any worry.

Li Si felt an inexplicable sense of unease, though she didn’t know why. She always had the intuition that he was hiding something from her!

They had been together for so long, she knew his temperament well. Something tricky must have happened!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be acting like this!

"No way! Today is the 27th. There are only a few days left until Leng Ning’s engagement and Bai Shasha’s wedding. Even Xiao Fan rushed back from abroad. Is it appropriate for you to go abroad at this time?"

Even if you can’t make it back for Bai Shasha and Xu Er’s wedding, as a member of the Leng Family, it’s not good for you not to appear at Leng Ning’s engagement party as her brother, right?

Even if you promise to return in time, sometimes plans can’t keep up with changes!

Leng Mochen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright then, I’ll go later."

A few days later shouldn’t be a big problem.

Plus, some things really need to be done for appearances.

"That’s right! While work is important, you also need to prioritize!" Li Si said this logically on the surface, but she secretly sighed with relief, having made up her mind.

She needed to find out what exactly was going on! Long Wu might know something!

He was her closest person now, how could she let him bear everything alone?

Leng Mochen saw the changing expressions on her face and couldn’t guess her little calculations, amusedly tapping her nose, "If I said I had to go, would you be mad?"

Li Si pouted, "Of course. But, luckily you understand me!"

Leng Mochen embraced her from behind, intimately kissed her earlobe, his long warm hand not idle, reaching straight for her proud peaks!

"Ah! Be gentle!" She caught his misbehaving hand and turned back with a grievance: "My bust got bigger recently, all because of you and your son!"

Leng Mochen didn’t stop his left hand’s movements. His right hand slipped behind her back and unclasped her bra hooks in a few motions, leaving her defenseless front and back.

The air was chaotic, a certain part of the person beneath her legs was ready to erupt. Li Si instantly sobered up, guarding her clothes and shifting the topic: "Right, we ran into Liu Jiaqi and Mrs. Yin together at dinner today, guess what!"

Leng Mochen’s hands roved ceaselessly, replying nonchalantly, "What?"

Liu Jiaqi? Leng Mohao’s ex-wife?

Li Si seized the opportunity and mimicked, then laughed, "If Liu Jiaqi and Yin Xian really pair up, that would be perfect. But Ye Duowei probably won’t let them be together so easily!"

Ultimately, it depends on Yin Xian. Leng Mochen raised his eyebrows while kissing her hair, "Ye Duowei? You saw her?"

He had received the news of Ye Duowei’s return to the country promptly but hadn’t sent someone to follow her whereabouts.

The lack of surprise in his expression made Li Si guess he might have known already.

She couldn’t help but ask, "No, but she also appeared at that private eatery in the courtyard. By the way, does Tian Yaru’s disappearance really have nothing to do with you?"

The signs suggested he was involved somehow, yet he denied it all, why didn’t she believe him?

"You guess!" This time, Leng Mochen didn’t deny outright.

Li Si pointed at herself, "I guess? I guess it’s related to you, but it’s better if you don’t say it, I don’t want to know about the Tian Family’s matters!"

Now that Ye Duowei was back in the country, they might run into each other someday, and she couldn’t avoid a verbal spar.

Even if they fought again, Li Si found it utterly pointless.

Leng Mochen laughed playfully, glancing at the desk with a meaningful hint, "If you don’t want to know, I won’t say! But, little lady, if we do some exercise, maybe I’ll share!"

Li Si took the opportunity to quickly escape from his side, "What time is it? I’m going to take a shower!"

Saying this, she was about to run! They had done it in the study before, but today’s situation was special. Jiang Fan was in the guest room, in case there’s any noise, she really wouldn’t have the face to face her again.

Leng Mochen knew she was thin-skinned and guessed that tonight there would be no enjoying the meat in the study.

His hands didn’t insist, but he couldn’t help teasing verbally, "Together?"

Li Si clearly glared at him, but he interpreted it as a thrown wink. Seeing her words having no effect, stubbornly following his own thoughts, she feigned anger, biting her lip: "As you wish! I’m sleepy, going to sleep first."

She was truly afraid that if she stayed, things might get out of control.

She quickly opened the door and left, not realizing Leng Mochen’s eyes followed her figure with a bit of helplessness.

When the study quieted down again, Leng Mochen rubbed his forehead, leaned his entire body on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes in deep thought.

After a while, he picked up the phone and made a call!

It was about time for Tian Yaru to be released!

Tian Family

Ye Duowei returned home looking desolate. Mrs. Tian Sr. watched her granddaughter with concern, "Weiwei, you just returned to the country and are running around, why don’t you rest?"

Ye Duowei forced a smile, "It’s nothing, grandma. I’m young, not tired! Without any news about mom, I’m just anxious!"

She had originally planned to ask Yin Xian for help. Since her family went bankrupt, aside from her aunt, there really was no one who could help her.

Who would’ve thought she’d see him on a date with another woman?

Having frequented that private eatery before, she easily found the room he often visited.

She thought she had let go of everything with Yin Xian after the divorce, leading separate lives.

But it wasn’t until she saw Yin Xian and Liu Jiaqi looking so compatible together that she realized her heart wasn’t over him. She admitted at that moment that she almost went crazy.

Abroad, in those lonely depths of the night, many forgotten sweet moments between them resurfaced, replayed countless times in her mind.

This time, she returned to the country not solely because of her mother’s disappearance. She also secretly hoped to attempt a reconciliation with Yin Xian.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as she wished. That scene struck her like a harsh reality check!

Moreover, the way Mrs. Yin protected Liu Jiaqi also stung her eyes!

Mrs. Tian Sr. saw the unusual look on her face and knew Ye Duowei was hiding something.

She interrupted her thoughts, "Weiwei, did you run into someone outside? With your mother like this, you can’t have anything happen to you! Tell grandma, what’s going on? Did you meet that Li Si kid?"

The old lady first thought she had encountered Li Si. She and her husband spoke without hiding anything from Weiwei, she knew everything she ought to know! (To be continued.
