Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 840 - 757: Admitting Defeat

Mrs. Qiao smiled reluctantly: "Alright then! I’ll wait here for my son and daughter-in-law. They are newly married and inseparable right now!"

And hey, we’re all neighbors. We’ll be seeing each other often, so let’s not let that woman create a rift between us. We should keep in touch!"

Both sides knew what she meant by that, but Mrs. Leng just grunted without replying, and Li Si nodded lightly to Mrs. Qiao. The two followed the staff member to the private room.

Mrs. Qiao watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo walk away and shrugged disdainfully, muttering to herself: "Hmph! What’s so great about them?"

She thought that when her son takes over the Zheng Family’s business, she would humble them.

In the private room, Ouyang Yan sat down and put Buding on her lap, then started complaining to Li Si: "Sisi! Can you believe how Zhang Shan’s former mother-in-law acts like that? It’s so disgusting! I can’t stand her smug face!"

Li Si quietly poured a cup of tea for Ouyang Yan and said with a smile: "That’s normal! Qiao An married Zheng Huanxue; it’s like bringing a gold mountain home! As for Zhang Shan, she can’t compare at all!"

Ouyang Yan shrugged off the thought: "So what if Qiao An married the Zheng Family’s daughter? Do you think old Zheng would really hand over the family assets to his son-in-law?"

Li Si didn’t care either way, as she wasn’t interested in discussing other people’s family affairs.

Mrs. Leng understood that Li Si wasn’t the gossip type, so she dropped the topic and brought up her daughter’s birthday.

"Sisi, Xiao Ning’s birthday is coming up soon. She told me yesterday that she wants to have a party. What do you think? Should we host it at home or go somewhere else?"

Li Si asked with a smile, "What does Xiao Ning want?"

She knew Mrs. Leng was just chatting idly, and the final decision wouldn’t be hers.

"She hopes to have it at home. If you have free time, help out with the preparations. More people make it more lively!"

"Sure! No problem! I’ll come when I have time!"

The two ate and chatted, both aiming for peace and friendliness, so the atmosphere was amicable.

Buding sat on Ouyang Yan’s lap, munching on some snacks, reaching out his chubby hand to Li Si, "Mama! Mama!"

Mrs. Leng quickly picked up Buding and handed him to Li Si, laughing, "This little rascal!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

In the evening, when Leng Mochen got home, Li Si casually mentioned Mrs. Leng’s apology and Xiao Ning’s birthday.

Leng Mochen nodded and responded with a few words, then suddenly said: "After her birthday, it’s our wedding anniversary! How do you plan to celebrate this year?"

Li Si’s eyes lit up and she teased: "You actually remembered! I thought you’d be so busy I’d have to remind you! Well, considering this, you’re at least a passable husband!"

Many husbands don’t care about or forget various anniversaries, so he’s not too bad!

Leng Mochen affectionately pinched her nose: "Bao’er! What do you mean passable? Aren’t I perfect? Tell me where I’ve fallen short!"

Li Si pushed him away forcefully, smiling as she tapped his shoulder with her foot: "It’s not that easy to be perfect! There are plenty of areas for improvement! The revolution is not yet complete, comrades must continue to work hard!"

Leng Mochen grabbed her small hand, a bit unconvinced: "I can work on it! But you’ve got to clarify where I should be focusing my efforts."

Li Si feigned a thoughtful expression, "I’ll have to think about it!"

He leaned close to her ear and whispered: "For example, maybe be more, you know, intense when we make love?"

Li Si shyly punched his firm chest, this guy is impossible!

"Why do you always twist things? People say a craftsman speaks three sentences and doesn’t leave his trade, and you’re three sentences short of..."

"Making love!" He kindly finished her embarrassing thought.

Li Si looked resentful: "Can we have a decent conversation?" This guy! She admitted defeat!

"Sure! I won’t tease you anymore! Want to know what Mr. Qin Sr. called me about today?"

Leng Mochen suddenly changed the subject.

Li Si widened her eyes and pressed him: "What did he say? Didn’t he promise to give me a proper explanation? Is he going to punish Qin He?"

Leng Mochen took advantage and squeezed the former source of nourishment for their son.

Feeling good, he answered leisurely: "It’s kind of like a punishment. Qin He is grounded at the Qin Family’s place for a month, and Qin Xin will be fully responsible for the business here!"

Li Si was pleased to hear about Qin He’s punishment, but she was a bit unhappy about Qin Xin staying in Beijing, pouting: "I see that old guy’s arrangement as hiding bad intentions! Hmph!"

It looked like a reward and a punishment, rewarding Qin Xin and punishing Qin He, giving Li Si an explanation.

But she felt it was the old man playing tricks.

Leng Mochen helplessly kissed her forehead, "We talked about this last night, didn’t we? Regardless of her actions, it’s none of our business! You shouldn’t worry about her! The Leng Family won’t cooperate with the Qin Family, so there shouldn’t be any direct contact."

Leng Mochen hugged her tightly, looking down, "Do you still not trust your husband?"

Li Si hugged his waist tightly, feeling the familiar pleasant scent, she looked up at him seriously, "I trust you! But I don’t trust her! However, now you’re my husband, my son’s dad, so I’ll be a bit more generous and not bother with those women!"

"What are you talking about? Heaven knows I’m the virtuous gentleman who resists temptations, when have I had women?"

But he knew the topic would become a trap if continued, so he quickly asked: "Have you thought about how to celebrate our anniversary? How about a couple’s getaway? Buding can stay at Mrs. Leng’s place, and we’ll have a romantic plan!"

He rapidly drafted an anniversary plan in his mind, of course including a candlelit dinner, followed by passionate moments in a presidential suite...

It seemed he was influenced by that Long Wu guy...

Li Si tilted her head in thought: "That sounds good! But does that make us irresponsible parents?"

"Not at all! It’s only one day a year, our son will understand!"

Unaware of being set up, Buding was happily playing with Xiao Guai in the children’s area downstairs.

He suddenly sneezed twice, prompting Xiao Guai to keep some distance from him.

Buding rubbed his itchy nose, his bright eyes looked toward the stairs, and he grinned...

Time flew by, and soon it was the eve of Children’s Day, nearing Leng Ning’s birthday party.

With some meticulous preparations by Li Si and Mrs. Leng, Leng Ning’s birthday was incredibly joyful this year.

Following her birthday, came Children’s Day, Buding’s festival, which was also Li Si and Leng Mochen’s wedding anniversary.

Leng Mochen had informed Mrs. Leng in advance that Buding would spend the day celebrating and playing with everyone, and he intended to leave him at the Leng Family’s house for the night.
