Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 853 - 770: So Handsome, No Friends

The date for Leng Ning and Jin Yichen’s wedding was specially chosen by Jin Jiachao with the consultation of a reputable master.

After considering both of their birth characters, three dates were suggested for them to choose from.

After Mr. Leng Sr.’s birthday celebration, Ouyang Yan and Leng Qiankai invited Jin Jiachao to meet, and the two families sat together to finalize the date—December 19th.

This date was the latest among the options, allowing for a relatively generous preparation time for everyone.

Although compared to Ouyang Yan and Jin Jiachao’s joyous expressions, Leng Qiankai’s face was not as cheerful, and he felt somewhat reluctant, but seeing his daughter Leng Ning’s happy smile, he couldn’t bring himself to object or delay.

Now that the date was set, with a few months to go until December, the two families discussed some details about the wedding preparations.

Jin Jiachao was very satisfied with Leng Qiankai’s cooperation, so he supported and agreed to all of Ouyang Yan’s requests without hesitation.

Everything was organized according to the Leng family’s customs and preferences, and they were fully supportive. This made Leng Qiankai feel much more comfortable, and he looked at Jin Yichen more favorably.

Upon returning home, Jin Jiachao opened the safe, took out all the jewelry inside, and handed it to Jin Yichen, instructing him to find a time to deliver it along with the long-prepared betrothal gifts to Leng Ning.

Although both families were wealthy and didn’t discuss the betrothal gifts too specifically, Jin Jiachao didn’t want to treat Leng Ning poorly. So besides their new home, he gifted several villas located in prime areas.

Leng Qiankai was marrying off his daughter, so the dowry had to be substantial.

Apart from money, property, and lots of jewelry and antiques, Leng Qiankai even gave his daughter a few of his treasured paintings that he had kept for years without selling.

According to previous arrangements, Mr. Leng Sr. handed over Leng Family’s stock to her as a wedding gift.

Leng Mochen and Li Si, as her elder brother and sister-in-law, also prepared gifts for Leng Ning, giving her a newly released sports car.

Li Si joked with Leng Ning about how her assets instantly multiplied several times after marriage.

Leng Ning joyfully expressed that she was almost overwhelmed by all the money she received!

This made Li Si laugh uncontrollably; it truly was a reality where being overwhelmed by wealth was literal!

With the date set, both families began the pre-wedding preparation phase, and Li Si, as the sister-in-law, was determined to help fully.

Without a female lead in the Jin Family, Jin Jiachao and Jin Yichen, as two men, were not very skilled at shopping.

Therefore, daily shopping became Li Si, Mrs. Leng, and Leng Ning’s activity, leaving their presence in various branded stores.

During this time, Long Wu and Su Meng’s son, Peanut, celebrated his first birthday.

Since a banquet was held for his full month, the first birthday party was skipped.

This allowed Li Si and their group of friends to gather and celebrate Peanut’s birthday.

The venue was at Long Wu’s home. Li Si specifically fulfilled Peanut’s request relayed by Su Meng, not only bringing Buding but also his beloved Xiao Guai.

Their family of three, along with Xiao Guai, immediately received a warm welcome from Peanut.

Li Si dressed Xiao Guai in a white short-sleeve T-shirt paired with denim shorts and topped it off with a red baseball cap, making him remarkably cute.

Even Bai Shasha, whose pregnancy was showing, couldn’t resist her fondness for him, repeatedly disregarding Xu Er’s protests to get close to Xiao Guai and stroke his head.

Eventually, Long Wu seeing everyone surrounded a monkey, treating it like a star, and noticing Xu Er’s growing dissatisfaction, quickly pulled him and Leng Mochen into the study to play cards.

Li Si and the other women weren’t interested in that, so they stayed in the living room chatting.

The two children played with Xiao Guai on the side.

Su Meng observed how her son genuinely liked the monkey, even if Xiao Guai didn’t care much for him and stayed with Buding; he still tried to get its attention, flaunting his presence.

She couldn’t help but suggest to Li Si, "Sisi, Peanut seems to adore Xiao Guai so much that our family also thinks about getting one! Where did you and Leng Er find Xiao Guai? Do they still sell them now?"

This thought had been brewing for a while; she had considered that having another monkey, like Li Si’s family, would be good.

"Uh... I’m really not sure, probably not anymore!" Li Si said ambiguously and felt the need to clarify for them.

So she continued, "Additionally, monkeys have a temperament which is rather unpredictable; you know the saying ’acting like a monkey,’ right? I’ve raised Xiao Guai for quite a while, so he’s pretty well-behaved.

If you’re planning to adopt one, I’m worried the monkey might accidentally hurt Peanut in a temper, so you should be cautious about this..."

Xiao Guai was originally bought from a monkey handler, and later through Space River Water, Xiao Guai’s intellect and physical changes were significant.

So he’s quite smart and has never harmed Buding during this time.

But with other monkeys, adopting them to accompany children could pose risks of outbursts, she couldn’t guarantee.

Before Su Meng could speak, Bai Shasha chimed in, "Li Si is right! Meng Meng! Do you remember that kid John? His mother purposely pinched Xiao Guai at a restaurant once, leading to Xiao Guai scratching the boy’s hand.

So, after all, monkeys can have tempers."

As she spoke, she realized she shouldn’t have brought this up, nervously checking Li Si’s expression.

Seeing Li Si unfazed, she was relieved.

Bai Shasha affectionately linked arms with Li Si, "Don’t mind! Don’t mind! I didn’t think before mentioning that woman! Don’t be bothered!"

Li Si gently tapped her nose, "What are you saying? Am I that kind of person?"

"As long as you don’t mind! Hehe!"

Su Meng had the same thoughts as Bai Shasha and softly reassured, "Sisi, Shasha didn’t mean to bring it up!"

Li Si chuckled helplessly and waved them off, "I understand! I don’t care about past issues!"

She was sincere; what did Qian Rouxuan matter?

But Bai Shasha and Su Meng shared a glance that hinted disbelief; if it happened to them, they’d certainly hold onto those memories.

Going back to the previous topic, Bai Shasha glanced at Peanut playing alongside Xiao Guai and remarked to the two, "Meng Meng! Your son may be mature early, but he’s still a kid; what if he accidentally angers the monkey and gets scratched?"

Ever since Bai Shasha became pregnant, she feels less suspicious seeing Su Meng’s child, reflecting on Peanut’s attempts to make Xiao Guai play, realizing she used to overthink and wildly imagine scenarios.

Su Meng hesitated, "Shouldn’t be too bad! I see Xiao Guai from Li Si’s house is really well-behaved, always playing nicely with Buding. Plus, my mom is constantly around the child, so it shouldn’t be an issue!"

Bai Shasha chuckled, refraining from further persuasion; whether to adopt or not is up to Su Meng and Brother Wu, as her role as a friend can only provide advice.
