Chapter 734: Accidentally saw it

Li Mengjie waved her hand dismissively, "No need for such formalities. From now on, let’s say we’re even and mind our own business."

Bei Yin, upon hearing this, didn’t insist any further. Besides, her coming over today was already a show of weakness. As for the invitation to dinner, it was nothing more than a polite gesture. She nodded, "If that’s the case, I’ll be leaving first. Everyone, I bid you farewell." With that, she turned and walked out of the villa.

It was then that Ling Xuejiu, who had remained silent up until now, suddenly said, "Xiao Jie, thanks." She was very familiar with Li Mengjie’s character. If it weren’t for her, Li Mengjie definitely wouldn’t have let Bei Lanfeng off so easily.

Li Mengjie clearly understood the meaning behind those words and said with a giggly smile, "We are good sisters, what’s with the formality?" After that, she turned her head and pouted at Leng Xuan, "Don’t you dare compete with us for the TV, give me the remote control. There’s nothing interesting about the news."

Leng Xuan shook his head helplessly and tossed the remote control in his hand towards Li Mengjie who was sitting across from him. However, when Li Mengjie reached out to catch it, she missed the timing and the remote control fell to the ground. She gave Leng Xuan a glare, then bent down to pick up the remote control.

Leng Xuan spread his hands, indicating it wasn’t his fault. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dashed line represents comedic relief; it’s up to the readers’ imagination ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Li Mengjie glared at Leng Xuan, fuming, as if she wanted to flay him a thousand times. If it weren’t for Ling Xue sitting beside her, she would have already exploded. Despite her casual manner of speaking and occasionally letting Leng Xuan take small liberties, deep down she was quite reserved. Once someone crossed the line, she would feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"Xiao Jie, what’s wrong with you? Are you sick? Why is your face so red?" Ling Xuejiu, sitting beside her, noticed Li Mengjie’s purplish-red face and couldn’t help but ask with concern.

"It’s... it’s nothing, I just choked on my breath for a moment." Li Mengjie hastily made up an excuse. She didn’t dare tell Ling Xuejiu that it was actually her own carelessness that gave Leng Xuan an undue advantage. If she talked about it, Ling Xuejiu would surely die laughing, and might even tease her about it often in the future.
