Chapter 224: Chapter 198: Saving the Nation by a Curved Path_2

Zhang Qian knocked on the door and came in. Seeing both leaders with smiling faces, she couldn’t help but join in, "Everyone asked me to come and say thank you! We’ll grab some delicious food and take it back to the dorm after work!"

"President Li, what are you talking about? I could hear laughter from the hallway!"

"It’s nothing. Zhang Qian, tell me, doesn’t President Li’s skin look incredible? Not a single pore, and it even has a radiant glow!" Su Meng pulled Zhang Qian into the conversation, ganging up to tease Li Si together.

Zhang Qian chimed in seriously, "It’s true! President Li, are you really only using Mo Si’s products? I’ve been using them every day too, but why don’t I see any results?"

She was already working in the beauty industry, so her standards for her own skin were quite high. While her complexion wasn’t flawless, it was still leagues better than the clients who came for treatments.

But when she scrutinized Li Si’s skin closely, she could only sigh in defeat. It was utterly incomparable.

Li Si looked amusingly at the pair of jokesters, her eyes gleaming with mischief, and joined in teasing them, "What can I say? It’s natural beauty, can’t be helped! But my skin wasn’t this good before. Now, I suspect it’s because of two factors!"

"What two factors?" The two asked almost in unison. After all, which girl wouldn’t want skin so soft it looks like milk and translucent like egg whites?

"First, I eat pig trotters twice a week to replenish collagen! And second..." Li Si deliberately paused, seeing their eager faces, then continued, "Second, of course, is having a good mood! When you’re happy, your complexion glows!"

"Huh! It’s that simple?" Zhang Qian thought eating pig trotters sounded doable, but the second point? Who can stay happy all the time?

Zhang Qian reflected and said enviously, "President Li, I think there’s got to be some romantic nourishment involved, right?"

She thought, someone who’s well-fed wouldn’t know the plight of the starving. You’re a taken woman with a blossoming romance—how are we poor singles supposed to cope?

Among the beauticians in the store, some had boyfriends, but there were still over ten, including herself, who were single and hadn’t met the right person yet.

Seeing men like Long Wu and Xu Er, those tall, rich, and handsome types, they could only admire from afar, aware of their own limitations. Just a feast for the eyes, nothing more.

They chatted for a while longer until Leng Mochen called, saying he was almost at the store. fre.eweb(n)ovel\.c om

Li Si went downstairs and passed by the first-floor reception desk. The cashier was helping a woman set up a membership card. Seeing her, Li Si smiled and nodded.

Initially, Li Si just nodded and glanced casually, not paying much attention.

But she felt a burning gaze fixed on her. Following the gaze, she realized it was the woman getting the card who was staring at her.

This woman looked oddly familiar. Wait, she remembered! Wasn’t this the woman she had bumped into at the mall with Leng Ning the other day?

The woman gave her a gentle smile. "Hello! Do you remember me? What a coincidence running into you here!"

It’s hard to be rude to someone who greets you with a smile, especially when they’re a customer. Li Si courteously greeted her back, "Hello!"

The woman seemed rather outgoing. "Are you here for skincare too? My surname is Qian. I don’t know your name yet!"

"It’s Li."

Li Si replied indifferently, still recalling how Leng Ning had treated her that day. Moreover, this woman might have some connection to Leng Mochen. Now that Leng Mochen was almost outside, she didn’t want them to cross paths.

"Miss Li, has Xiao Ning told you about the situation between us?" The woman smiled, her gaze carrying deep implications.

Li Si calmly countered, "Is that important?" She wasn’t concerned about who this woman was. What mattered was that Leng Mochen was hers now, and no one could harbor any improper thoughts. Trying to sow discord or make her upset? Not a chance! fre.ew(e)bnov el.com

The woman awkwardly smiled, "Not really! Just thought it was a nice coincidence meeting here and wanted to chat a little!"

At this moment, Li Si’s phone rang.

She picked up the call with a sweet tone, "Honey! You’re here? Alright, I know, mm-hmm! OK!" Then she waved goodbye to the woman, briskly heading out of the store.

The woman’s face stiffened as she overheard Li Si’s conversation on the phone, as though she had swallowed something unpleasant. Her mood turned sour instantly, and she hurried the cashier, "Please hurry up! I’m in a rush and have other things to do!"

"Alright!" The cashier gave her a puzzled look—this woman’s mood swings were way too dramatic.

Li Si quickly exited the store and got into Leng Mochen’s car. "Drive!"

Leng Mochen noticed her peculiar expression and, after steering the car onto the road, reached over to gently rub the top of her head. "What’s wrong? Something happen at the store?"
