Chapter 229: Chapter 200: Are We Still Talking About Money Between Us?

"I am absolutely not jealous! If someone admires you, it just shows I have great taste!" After saying that, she added, "But after we’re married, you have to switch to a male secretary!"

"You didn’t see the complicated expression on Secretary Du’s face when I showed up earlier—it was all over the place like a watercolor painting! She probably really doesn’t like me being here, huh?"

Leng Mochen couldn’t help but burst into laughter. This little girl is his ultimate source of joy!

"Alright! Whatever my wife says!" Whatever other people think, Leng Mochen feels fantastic simply being able to see her whenever he looks up.

As she basked in her own happiness, a knock came at the door again. She thought, could it be another wave of grievances?

Fortunately, this time it was Jiang Feng. He paused for a moment when he saw Li Si but still smiled and nodded in greeting.

Then, he reported some work updates to Leng Mochen. After detailing a few matters, he hesitated briefly as if unsure whether to say something, eventually handing over a document to Leng Mochen before leaving.

Leng Mochen frowned as he quickly scanned the document, his expression indicating discontent.

Li Si was observing him and was about to ask what was wrong when Bai Shasha’s call came through.

She hurriedly answered with a big smile, "My darling! When are you arriving?"

Leng Mochen, hearing the sweet and playful tone, couldn’t help but look up from the document. He instantly recognized who was calling—it was obvious. He really couldn’t fathom how these two girls became so close.

If Li Si weren’t living with him now, coming and going together, he might seriously suspect that Bai Shasha ranked first in her heart.

"Haha, really? Let me tell you, Beijing is pretty hot right now, so wearing a short-sleeve shirt is fine—it’s not like North City where mornings and evenings are chilly.

Yeah, you’ll find out soon enough! Alright, how about I pick you up and take you to Meng Meng’s mom’s birthday party afterward? Great! Awesome! Stay safe! See you later! Bye-bye!"

Li Si hung up the phone with a mischievous grin. Bai Shasha was reliable—she had already arrived at the airport and was calling her right before boarding the plane.

"What time is she landing?" Leng Mochen locked the document in the drawer, walked over to Li Si, and sat down next to her. He gently tousled her silky hair, which he found particularly appealing in its messy state. Maybe this was his weird little quirk.

Li Si carefully smoothed her tousled hair as her bright eyes sparkled and her lips curved into a smile. "Four thirty in the afternoon. We’ll pick her up then!"

Leng Mochen checked his watch, "Then let’s rest for a bit before heading out."

"Have you finished all your work? You’re not tired, so why rest?" Li Si spoke while tucking her phone into her pocket. She was wearing denim suspenders—perfectly equipped with pockets—so she hadn’t even bothered to bring a handbag.

After all, she had a walking, talking wallet sitting right next to her. Was she being too carefree? Hehe!

He tapped her nose lightly, "Even if I haven’t finished my work, what could I do? Let you pick her up alone?"

"You’re such a sweetheart! Here, let me reward you with some love!" She leaned in and planted a few playful kisses on his lips. Not bad—he was proving to be a rather thoughtful boyfriend.

"Not sincere enough! More!" And with that, the kissing turned into a relentless attack, resisting her shoves and protests, holding her tightly until her lips felt puffy before letting go.

She touched her now swollen lips and complained, "Annoying! Why so aggressive? I won’t have the face to meet anyone later! You’re killing me!"

Pouting, she slipped on her shoes, intent on finding a mirror to check the damage.

Leng Mochen innocently touched his nose. He hadn’t meant to go overboard; it was just playful teasing that got a bit out of hand!

When she finally saw her lips looking like they’d been through a fight in the mirror, Li Si could’ve wrung his neck. This day was packed—meeting Shasha and attending the birthday party—everyone there was a familiar face.

She thought of Long Wu and his smart mouth—he’d definitely roast her to no end!

Realizing Li Si was truly upset—and the consequences might be dire—

Leng Mochen promptly retrieved a large box of vanilla ice cream from the fridge to make amends!

Li Si gave him a glare, masking her eagerness at the sight of ice cream, and pretended to eat reluctantly. But inside, she was thrilled. This guy usually didn’t let her eat too much ice cream—how come he was so generous today? He must be feeling guilty! Hehe! So delicious!

Leng Mochen watched his little goddess devour the ice cream with big bites, all while putting on a reluctant act. His lips stayed curved in a concealed smile that he couldn’t suppress.

After the therapeutic dose of ice cream, her lips returned to normal, though still a little red, but it was tolerable now. Li Si wasn’t as upset anymore.

After this little episode, time was nearly up, and they headed out to the airport.

During the drive, Long Wu called twice, sounding frantic, chasing them about when they’d arrive. Leng Mochen calmly dealt with him and kept driving.
