Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 822 - 739: Truly Pitiful (Second Update)

Because of the appearance of Yin Qi and Beibei, Bai Shasha and Li Si’s moods were somewhat affected, and the two ended their afternoon tea hastily and went home separately.

On the way home, Li Si adjusted her mood a bit, and by the time she got home, her emotions had returned to normal.

When she arrived home, it was just as Buding woke up from his nap. Accompanied by Leng Mochen, father and son were strolling in the yard.

In Beijing in April, the weather has already warmed up, and today is a sunny day.

So Leng Mochen and Buding were wearing comfortable, matching home clothes, making Li Si, as she got out of the car, feel a wave of warmth in her heart.

Buding saw Li Si and cleverly let go of his father’s big hand, stretched his two arms, and waddled toward Li Si.

He murmured, "Mama! Mama!"

The cheerful tone made even Leng Mochen feel a bit jealous.

He intentionally took large strides toward Li Si as well, but Buding’s short legs couldn’t possibly match his long-legged father’s speed.

By the time Buding reached them, Mama was already embraced by Daddy.

Buding was so annoyed that he stretched out his arms and hugged Mama’s legs tightly, his small face raised pitifully as he called for Mama.

Li Si laughed, watching this father and son vying for her affection, with previous sadness gradually fading away.

In front of her precious son, the husband must step aside, of course.

Li Si smiled and pushed away Leng Mochen’s arm, bent down, and picked up Buding.

"Missed Mama, darling? Did Daddy play well with you?"

Leng Mochen waited amusedly for his son’s answer, as he had put aside all his work to wholeheartedly accompany this little rascal.

Buding hugged Li Si’s neck, blinking his eyes, "Yes! Yes!"

He couldn’t answer the question directly; what if Daddy got upset?

Li Si smiled and brushed faces with him, "This little smartypants! Mama misses you too!"

Leng Mochen had already noticed Li Si’s face didn’t look quite right earlier, "Why did you leave with a smile and come back looking downcast? Did something happen?"

Li Si kissed her son’s little cheek before replying, "Don’t mention it! Shasha and I were shopping and got tired, and during afternoon tea, we unexpectedly ran into Yin Qi, who had brought Beibei along.

So, Beibei saw me and asked if he could come play with his little brother sometime? How was I supposed to answer that! If only he weren’t Han Mingzhe and Yin Qi’s child, that would’ve been great.

Also, I just learned from Yin Qi speaking to Beibei that Han Mingzhe has already won custody of Beibei..."

Leng Mochen stroked her back, thought for a moment, and reassured, "Don’t dwell on these things! You’re right not to agree! Moreover, even though Han Mingzhe has won the custody, it’s unlikely he’ll be the one personally caring for the child! Don’t forget Mrs. Han; grandma won’t mistreat her grandson..."

Thinking of Mrs. Han, Li Si felt relieved; indeed, people from that generation truly adore their grandchildren!

...

In the blink of an eye, it was May Day, and Leng Mochen and Li Si planned a short trip to Beidaihe, taking Buding along.

Originally, Leng Mochen casually mentioned it to Mr. Leng Sr., suggesting that if he went ahead to enjoy the summer, they could travel together.

Mr. Leng Sr. ultimately decided not to visit there this year.

The couple thought traveling light with Buding was a good idea and it would be fun for the family of three.

Beforehand, Ouyang Yan had already told Li Si she wanted her to accompany her to attend the Zheng Family’s daughter’s wedding on May Day.

So Li Si and Leng Mochen slightly adjusted their plans, with Li Si going to the wedding ceremony with Ouyang Yan first during the day, and after enjoying the wedding dinner at noon, they would head to Beidaihe in the afternoon!

Thus, early that morning, Li Si and Ouyang Yan woke up at their respective homes, styling hair, applying makeup, changing into dresses, and so forth.

After going through the whole ordeal, Li Si felt she was utterly exhausted.

But Leng Mochen was beside her, saying how extremely beautiful she looked.

Even the sleepy-eyed Buding wanted to be held, so Li Si gave each of them a kiss, entrusted them: "Stay home nicely, and when I come back, we’ll set off!"

Leng Mochen should attend as well, but given that several from the Leng Family were already going, including Mr. Leng Sr., Leng Qiankai, and Leng Qianhan, he felt he could skip it.

Additionally, given the past relations Zheng Huanxue had with Qin Xin, it’s likely Qin Xin would be present, and thinking about her cousin Zheng Qian, he decided not to attend!

Li Si, of course, supported this; she didn’t want others eyeing her man.

It was merely attending a wedding banquet, and Li Si had no mental burden going along with the elders from the Leng Family.

At the wedding locale—one of Zheng Family’s private clubs, it was fitting for a media mogul to marry off a daughter; the display and arrangement were indeed high-profile and extravagant.

Quite a few top-ranking male and female celebrities attended, each vying on the red carpet before the club entrance in their own turn.

There were also many people from political and business circles, either low-key or high-profile entering.

The cameras and filming equipment of media personnel worked tirelessly, covering from multiple angles.

Li Si walked arm in arm with Ouyang Yan on the red carpet; she was long accustomed to such occasions.

Ouyang Yan maintained an elegant smile, her lips slightly moving, still conversing with Li Si.

Leng Qiankai supported Mr. Leng Sr. ahead of them, occasionally bowing his head to converse.

Passing through the red carpet into the interior of the wedding banquet, Li Si merely glanced briefly at the décor and furnishings before focusing on listening to Ouyang Yan:

"Her daughter isn’t young, looked and looked until she became dizzy, Mrs. Zheng can finally rest easy this time!

Just heard the other party’s condition isn’t as good as her family’s, he’s a divorced man with a young daughter; being a stepmother is not an easy task!"

Upon finishing, Ouyang Yan glanced at Li Si, only admiring how years had passed, a child born, yet her appearance hadn’t changed at all, which couldn’t help but stir envy.

She dared not voice one thought, fearing Li Si might not appreciate; Mrs. Zheng had once been fixated on her own Leng Mochen, but due to Mochen’s mishap, she ceased that thought.

Li Si silently listened, occasionally interjecting.

She wasn’t very familiar with Zheng Huanxue, but any woman who fancied Han Mingzhe couldn’t possibly be much better.

Moreover, anyone running an entertainment company certainly isn’t weak, the family background being so solid, a bit choosy is normal!

Ouyang Yan paused, her eyes flashing and continued, "Luckily, her family is powerful, so no one would dare to wrong her.

It’s said, a woman must have a good natal family to have confidence in life. If not, one has to tuck their tail and live cautiously..."

Lately, Ouyang Yan often spoke cryptic, whether intentional or not, but Li Si was already immune, and if her speech crossed the line, Li Si would seize the chance to hit back, Ouyang Yan wouldn’t gain much.

So Li Si calmly and mildly smiled, "Mom’s absolutely right! It’s been some time since I married into the family but haven’t heard you talk about Mochen’s grandma’s family! Grandpa and Dad treat you so well, surely Grandma’s family is powerful! Unlike me, without a natal family, without roots, truly pitiful..."
