The Mysterious CEO and His Feisty Bride-Chapter 541 - 549: Let’s Go Back! (19)

Ling Momo and Chen Wanru suddenly turned their heads when they heard those two words. Then, both saw the tall figure standing a meter away.

The man they hadn’t seen for a long time still looked as distinguished as ever.

His expression was so calm that it was somewhat frightening, his gaze fixed on Ling Momo, deep and cold.

Ling Momo didn’t speak; she just stared unblinkingly at Li Qingshen, her eyes calm, but her heart felt uneasy.

He must have heard what she said.

He knew, didn’t he, that her initial kindness and approach toward him had a purpose?

He was angry, wasn’t he...

Ling Momo felt an inexplicable fear as she watched Li Qingshen before her.

Even the usually adept Chen Wanru seemed slightly awkward and stiff in her expression.

Li Qingshen and Ling Momo looked at each other for a long time.

Cars came and went on the street, the sound of honking incessant.

Yet, Ling Momo felt the atmosphere was dreadfully still.

Li Qingshen stood in front of her, looking at her with such an indifferent gaze for a long, long time; in the depths of his eyes, it seemed that the familiar anger toward Ling Momo appeared, yet it also seemed like there was nothing at all.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, when the traffic police arrived, Li Qingshen finally turned and walked slowly towards them, murmured something to the officer, who nodded, and then they all left.

Then, Li Qingshen walked back toward Chen Wanru and Ling Momo. He first glanced sideways at Chen Wanru’s car, his demeanor aloof yet handsome, and then pulled out a check from his pocket and handed it to Chen Wanru, "Call Asheng, he will take care of fixing your car; this is for the damages."

His voice was very cold.

After he spoke, he turned indifferently, opened his car door, and Jian Chenxi alighted from the vehicle, giving Ling Momo a mocking smile before following Li Qingshen into his car.

Ling Momo stood still. She watched Li Qingshen’s car start, drive away, and grow increasingly distant. In that moment, she had a premonition that the distance between her and him was also stretching bit by bit.

After Chen Wanru’s car got smashed, they made a phone call, got a ride, and picked them both up. In the car, Ling Momo stared blankly out the window while Chen Wanru kept silent. After a while, Ling Momo turned to Chen Wanru and said, "Thank you."

Chen Wanru knew what Ling Momo was referring to, smiled, and remained silent.

Ling Momo then muttered, "I’m sorry."

The atmosphere in the car grew even quieter. After a long time, Ling Momo slowly started, "Sister Wanru, I didn’t know you did those things to help me. If I had known you were doing it for me, I definitely wouldn’t have messed it up."

"Actually, Jian Chenxi is right. I really am a waste!"

Chen Wanru looked at her with a pained expression, "Don’t say that."

Ling Momo leaned against the car seat and after a while, she chuckled softly, though her expression was somewhat defeated. "Sister Wanru, it’s true... Look, I will never be a match for Jian Chenxi. She’s smarter than me. Didn’t you see just now?"

Chen Wanru’s voice was heavy, "Smart? You mean despicable! I have never met a woman as vile and low as Jian Chenxi. So, you should not compare yourself to her!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Ling Momo looked out the window, not speaking again. Countless billboards flashed by her, and suddenly, she felt very cold.
