Chapter 43 - 41 Repaying Kindness
Li Si spent the entire night tossing and turning, dreaming of the scene when those two men had grabbed her. As a result, she didn’t sleep well and woke up with a severe headache.
She glanced at the clock—it was already 8:30 in the morning. She yawned lazily, got out of bed, washed her face, and brushed her teeth. Sniffing the clothes she’d worn yesterday, now sitting atop the washing machine, she wrinkled her face in disgust and tossed them into the trash can. What bad luck!
Even now, the thought of it made her feel uneasy. Forget it, thinking about it only makes her headache worse!
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Li Si’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t know anyone in this place—who could it be?
She tiptoed over and peeked outside through the peephole. Relieved, she exhaled; it was Leng Mochen.
"Brother Leng, just a moment!"
Li Si suddenly remembered Xiao Guai was still in the bedroom. She quickly rushed back, scooped up the sleeping little monkey, and stored him in the space. With that done, she hurried to the door, smiling as she opened it, a little breathless, saying, "Brother Leng, why are you here so early?"
"Morning exercise. The housekeeper at home made too much breakfast, so I brought some for you." Leng Mochen caught a whiff of the sweet fragrance emanating from her—it had to be her scent, which was pleasant.
Taking a closer look at Li Si, he noticed she had likely just washed her face and was makeup-free. Her skin was fresh and fair, with bright eyes and pearly teeth. Though there were faint dark circles under her eyes indicating a poor night’s sleep, overall, she seemed in decent spirits. Clearly, the girl hadn’t been utterly overtaken by yesterday’s incident.
"Come in! Brother Leng, have a seat first. I’ll change my clothes!" Li Si glanced down, realizing she was still wearing her pink long-sleeve pajamas—without a bra. Embarrassed, she hurried off to the bedroom.
