Chapter 10 Deserves Better
Upon the words being spoken, there was a dead silence.
Li Sihe's face suddenly twisted into a ferocious snarl, his normally warm and gentle features contorted with distorting anger, veins at his temples bulging as if he was on the verge of losing composure.
Li Tingmo, too, was stunned, unable to respond for a moment. Sensing that Li Sihe was mentally unsettled, he pressed down forcefully on his hand, signaling him to calm down.
At the table, only Shen Jinci remained unruffled.
He picked up his phone, continuing to speak, "It's a call from Bian Yue, I'll take it."
"Oh, a phone call!" Li Tingmo, as if granted amnesty, rushed out with a smile, "Sure! Mr. Shen, please, go ahead."
As the door shut once again, redness edged into Li Sihe's eyes, his anger evident, "What did Shen Jinci mean by that just now!"
"It's merely that Bian Yue happened to make a call that interrupted Shen Jinci's speech, don't overthink it!"
Li Tingmo's voice was stern yet comforting to Li Sihe. He paused, then frowned, "I've heard you've been quarreling with Bian Yue recently, all because of some minor celebrity?"
Li Sihe collected his thoughts, sipped his tea with eyes closed, remaining silent.
Li Tingmo's brow furrowed enough to kill a fly, filled with displeasure, "Those lowly women out there, it's one thing to leave them be! But Bian Yue is your fiancée. If you dare let those women upset her again, I'll be the first to not let you off!"
