"Mr. Leng!" Liu Xiaole stuck out her tongue playfully at Li Si. After gossiping about someone's mother behind their back, the person in question suddenly appeared. Did he overhear anything?
Li Si gave her a reassuring look, signaling her not to worry!
This was the magic of the situation—only she and Leng Mochen knew the truth. Unfortunately, others didn't, but it didn't matter. After all, that mother-in-law wasn't genuine either, so there was nothing to fear!
Leng Mochen purposely brought over a few refined desserts, hoping Li Si could have a quick bite to lighten her hunger.
Li Si had been preoccupied for the better part of the morning and was starving. She ate without regard for her image. "Xiaole! You eat some too!"
"You go ahead! Mr. Leng, Sisi, I'll go eat my lunch then!" Liu Xiaole, always perceptive, naturally excused herself when she saw Leng Mochen, giving the two some alone time. Besides, she felt a bit guilty and wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
