Chapter 123: Chapter 120: Slap on the Face, Offer a Sweet Date

"This doesn’t taste like Sister Tao’s cooking!" Li Si immediately thought, "Could it be that you made it?"

"Mm!" He nodded, put down the newspaper, and picked up the milk in front of him to drink. After returning from his morning workout, he noticed she was still sleeping, and seized the opportunity to kiss her fair, delicate little face a few times. He didn’t dare continue, afraid he’d actually turn into a beast. Feeling slightly guilty for taking advantage of her, he decided to prepare breakfast.

Li Si ate the lovingly prepared breakfast with a sweet feeling in her heart, her eyes involuntarily glancing at him. Today, he was wearing a dark blue striped knit sweater and black trousers, giving off a mysterious and sexy vibe! Why am I using that word? She secretly scolded herself.

"Do you have class today?" Leng Mochen suddenly asked.

"Oh no, I’m late, I’m late! I can’t eat anymore!" She quickly put down the food and got up, ready to rush to school.

She finally remembered what she’d forgotten—how could she leisurely enjoy her breakfast? She had been utterly distracted by his charm!

Today’s class wasn’t ordinary; it was with Professor Mi, known for meticulously taking attendance. Few dared to have someone call roll in their stead—everyone needed to show up in person to face his scrutiny.

Leng Mochen stood up as well, "I’ll drive you!"

"Huh?" Li Si froze, immediately recalling the gossip circulating. The impact of the last incident hadn’t completely died down yet. "No, it’s fine—I’ll take a cab, it’s quick anyway!"

Leng Mochen insisted, "It’s hard to hail a cab at this time. Do you really want to go on your own?"

Li Si gritted her teeth. Fine—if she ended up missing Professor Mi’s class, she’d be doomed! Let him drop her at the school entrance. She thought walking the rest of the way into campus should be fine!

On the way, Li Si kept checking her watch repeatedly. Leng Mochen sped through traffic with precision, overtaking cars with swift maneuvers. A trip that usually took 15 minutes suddenly became a mere 9-minute journey.

"We’re here. I’m heading out now!" Li Si unbuckled her seatbelt, intent on opening the door and leaving, only to be pulled back by Leng Mochen with one hand. His eyes sparkled with laughter as he looked at her. "Don’t you think you owe me something? Hmm?"

Hearing this, Li Si’s face turned red, unwilling to meet his gaze. "You offered to drive me voluntarily! I didn’t beg you!"

"Oh! Then shouldn’t you at least thank me for being your chauffeur?" Leng Mochen kept leaning closer, making Li Si uneasy. This place was too close to the school—if a familiar classmate passed by and saw her...

She gritted her teeth as he kept moving closer. Forget it—taking initiative is better than being passive. Summoning all her courage, she leaned in swiftly, her lips briefly brushing against his warm, soft ones—a fleeting dragonfly touch before retreating.

Her nape was suddenly gripped dominantly. Furious, her eyes burned with rage. What more could he want? This is near the school!

"Not enough!" he said, his actions conveying the fiery passion he felt at that moment.

"Mmmhhmm..." She protested repeatedly, but her protests fell on deaf ears!

Not until several minutes later did he finally release her, her eyes glistening with spring-like warmth as she panted, "You’ll make it in time! I’ll pick you up after school!"

Still dazed, Li Si nodded and got out of the car, heading toward the campus. Leng Mochen gazed fervently at her departing figure as she walked into the school, only then starting the car to leave.

Li Si kept wiping her lips with her hand. Why was he so passionate? Was his gentlemanly demeanor all just an act?

Suddenly, her shoulder was tapped hard on the right side. She screamed and turned around to see Bai Shasha grinning mischievously, her large face mere inches away.

"What are you doing? You scared me!" Li Si complained mournfully.

Bai Shasha scanned her face intently, her expression carrying a sly grin. "Oh my, that’s such a sweet tone—is there something going on? Come on, spill it! What did you do after we dropped you off last night?"

Li Si was mortified. Why had she spoken like that? It was entirely subconscious, okay? Could it be that falling in love was making her more tender?

Bai Shasha saw her frustrated expression, quickened her stride to catch up, and clung to Li Si’s arm, shaking it. "Si! Tell me, tell me!"

Gripped by Bai Shasha’s relentless persuasions, Li Si gritted her teeth and looked around to ensure there was no one nearby. Thinking it over, she decided to surrender. "I’m in a relationship!"

"Haha, I knew it! It’s with your big brother, right?" Bai Shasha laughed heartily. She had noticed the chemistry between the two ages ago.

Li Si reluctantly stuck her thumb out, giving Bai Shasha a thumbs-up. Truly born with the perfect talent to be a gossip journalist. "Hey, keep your voice down, will you? Do you want the whole world to know?"

Bai Shasha immediately covered her mouth, "Quiet, Quiet... Si, come on, tell me—what stage are you guys at? Any kissing? Huh? I’m dying to know!"

"Why are you so nosy? You and your Cao Yufan—how far have you gotten? I never asked about you!" Li Si muttered, blushing, carefully touching her red lips. Hopefully, nothing seemed out of place, right? It’s all his fault—why did he have to be so intense!

Bai Shasha’s face lit up knowingly. "Si, what can I say about you? It’s like hiding silver in an empty hole—you touching your lips makes the answer obvious! Hehe, seems like yesterday’s alcohol didn’t go to waste—liquid courage indeed! So, share—what did it feel like? Was it electrifying? Judging by him, he must be an expert, eh?"

"Go away! I’m not talking to you anymore. Today’s class with Old Mi—being late would be disastrous!" Li Si quickly said a few sentences, rushed away head down, afraid Bai Shasha’s big mouth would spill something else. Her poor fragile heart couldn’t handle the stress!

Bai Shasha purposefully shouted behind her, "Slow down, girl! You might escape now, but you can’t hide from lunchtime!"

Li Si: "..." Please don’t let anyone know she’s acquainted with this troublemaker!

Sure enough, when lunchtime came, Li Si was dragged by Bai Shasha to treat her to a lavish meal in return for a detailed recount of her romantic escapades. It was truly a defeat.

Who could have anticipated that as the two were walking toward the school gates, they’d run into Zhang Meihua carrying a plastic bag full of dates?

It turned out Li Fei had gone home angry the previous night and vented to Zhang Meihua about seeing Li Si watching a movie with that wealthy older man.

The speaker didn’t mean much by it, but Zhang Meihua had taken it to heart. After some contemplation, she concluded that it was better to maintain a good relationship with Li Si. No matter what type of man she pursued, at least he was rich, right? Who knows—maybe she could benefit from it in the future. Besides, Zhang Meihua was also curious to probe about that twenty-thousand yuan issue.

"Li Si! Having lunch with classmates, huh? Look at how thin your little face is—your second aunt feels so bad seeing it. These are the best dates. I bought you a bag to help nourish your blood and energy!"

Zhang Meihua approached the two enthusiastically. If it weren’t for past experiences, anyone would think she was genuinely kind!

"I don’t need it!" Li Si rolled her eyes. What was up with this woman? Some slap in the face followed by sweet dates?

"Look at you, child! So blunt! How can you refuse your elder’s well-meaning gesture? Li Si, listen to me—not to nag or anything, but ever since your father passed, your personality has completely changed—so withdrawn! You’ve even grown distant from us, the Li Family relatives!"
