Chapter 258 - 209 Leng Ning’s Birthday_3
"Good!" Leng Mochen nodded calmly.
Lei Ming’s hand was big, and when Li Si observed him shaking hands with Leng Mochen, it really felt like a stark contrast—like black and white, or like meat sandwiched between bread.
Since everyone here was young and eager to get along, it didn’t take long before they became familiar with one another.
Leng Ning’s close friends were meeting her elder brother’s girlfriend for the first time, so their eyes carried curious and gossipy looks, but without ill intent.
The gift from Leng Mochen and Li Si was a car key for a new BMW model, ready for pick-up at any time; Lei Ming’s gift was a vintage ring, and the group teased him to put it on Leng Ning’s finger. Eventually, amidst the blushes of both, the ring was gently placed onto the middle finger of her left hand.
Then everyone started chanting, "Kiss! Kiss!"
After fulfilling everyone’s wish, they made a birthday wish, blew out candles, and smeared cake on faces—none of it was missing. With Lei Ming protecting Leng Ning, the attacks mostly targeted him, leaving cream marks on his face and adding a touch of cuteness to his otherwise firm demeanor.
Li Si, on the other hand, had the intimidating presence of Leng Mochen shielding her, as well as his age advantage over everyone else, so no one dared to mess with her. Leng Ning behaved unusually well, seemingly still brooding over something from before, and didn’t show too much excitement tonight.
After the playful chaos, when the classmates had left, only the four of them remained, planning to chat for a while longer.
Leng Mochen and Lei Ming were over there discussing men’s topics while Leng Ning glanced at Li Si several times, wanting to say something but stopping herself each time.
Li Si smiled and asked her, "Xiao Ning, you’ve been so distracted all evening. Is there something you need to tell me?" Li Si felt that Leng Ning couldn’t be compared with Mrs. Leng, which is why she chose to attend her birthday celebration.
Leng Ning finally made up her mind. "Sisi, I already know about what happened yesterday. I’m sure you’re not to blame. I want to apologize on behalf of my mother—she was completely in the wrong this time!"
