Chapter 220 - 197: Unspoken Secrets
"Whatever she wants to do is none of our business. So, how are you planning to spend these few days off?" Li Si changed the subject, not wanting to dwell further on Ling Wei.
"What else can I do! Staying home, sleeping, snacking, and playing games, obviously. Unlike you, someone in a relationship, living a sweet and loving life every day—making us single folks green with envy!"
Liu Xiaole noticed Li Si didn’t refute and just kept smiling, so she didn’t press further. Glancing at the so-called perfect couple on stage, she continued, "Sisi, I don’t know why, but Liu Jiaqi’s fiancé seems so gloomy to me. I bet it’s just a marriage of convenience!
Once you guys become relatives, let me warn you—Liu Jiaqi’s been spoiled like a little princess since she was a kid. I’ve suffered plenty at her hands! We’re best friends, so don’t say I didn’t give you a heads-up!"
"Got it, don’t worry! I’ll keep an eye out!" Li Si looked at Liu Jiaqi on stage, her face aglow with happiness, and then at Leng Mohao, whose smile was calm and composed. She thought to herself, the two really did seem like the perfect match, each like a lid fitting its pot.
But at that moment, Leng Mohao’s heart was far less cheerful than his smile suggested. After all, he didn’t love Liu Jiaqi. He was simply attracted to her family’s status—having her on his side would make everything much easier to resolve.
Unlike Leng Mochen, he would never be foolish enough to choose some poor woman who couldn’t offer the slightest help to his career. But really, foolishness was putting it lightly. Thinking about that woman, he smirked meaningfully. Just wait—this story was far from over!
Beside him, Liu Jiaqi noticed the strange expression on his face and asked with concern, "Mohao, what’s wrong?"
He leaned close, deliberately whispering into her ear, "Nothing! Qiqi, I just feel so lucky!"
Blushing, Liu Jiaqi lowered her head and said softly, "Me too." From the moment she first met Leng Mohao, her heart had been set on him. She had thought he wouldn’t ever return her feelings, so this happiness had come as a pleasant surprise.
