Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 200 - 190: Fairy Tales Are All Deceptive_2

"Oh? Are you done talking?" Li Si interrupted coldly. As for the Li family, she was not interested in knowing more.

Tian Yaruo’s eyes grew warm with emotions. "Fine! Enjoy your meal, then! Goodbye!" With that, she could no longer hold back her tears as she covered her mouth and ran toward the restroom.

Watching her retreating figure, Li Si felt a tinge of bitterness in her heart. However, the things Tian Yaruo had done, one after another, were simply too unforgivable.

Sure, she seemed pitiful. But who wasn’t pitiful? Was she herself not pitiful? Back then, she had foolishly donated her bone marrow—what did she gain in return? So the saying, "Those who are pitiful must have something hateful about them," really was a timeless truth.

Leng Mochen placed his hand over hers on the table. "Sweetheart, it’s all in the past! Stop dwelling on those unhappy memories." He had watched her grow bit by bit—from a girl with no boundaries and unable to say no, to the person she was today. How could he not understand the reasons behind the change?

Li Si smiled wryly, her tone self-mocking. "Yes, it’s all in the past now! You don’t think she still holds a place in my heart, do you?"

Seeing the deep look in his eyes, she paused for a moment before adding, "My heart is small, only big enough for the people who treat me well. As for those who’ve schemed against me, hurt me, or shown me malice, I’ll stay far away from them for the rest of my life.

So, you better be careful. If one day you hurt me or treat me poorly, I might never pay you any mind again!"

Since growing up, Li Si felt that, apart from becoming more ruthless, she had also become more independent. If that day ever came, she would leave without hesitation.

"I won’t!" Leng Mochen gripped her hand firmly, a peculiar sense of unease creeping over him, as if she might slip away from him at any moment.

"Even if one day I accidentally hurt you, you still can’t ignore me. Say everything you feel out loud instead. Then punish me as you see fit—scold me or beat me up, okay?"

"What are you saying? You’re making me sound like some shrew, always yelling and hitting you." Li Si imagined the scenario in her head and shuddered. Was this supposed to turn her into one of those over-the-top girlfriends?

Leng Mochen shifted closer to her. "What? You can’t bear to do it?"

Li Si couldn’t help but shove him lightly. "All right, all right! Have you finished eating? Let’s go!"

"Okay!" After paying the bill, the two of them left together, narrowly missing Ye Duowei, who had hurried over again.

Standing in place, Ye Duowei stomped her foot in frustration. Her aunt had just returned to the table with reddened eyes, and after Ye Duowei pressed her repeatedly, she finally admitted she’d run into Li Si and her boyfriend.

Having seized the excuse of a trip to the restroom to confront Li Si, she now found the person gone.

Ever since she became pregnant, Tian Yaru and Ye Cheng had been fighting constantly, leaving her with significantly less attention from them. As a result, most of the care she received came from Tian Yaruo.

But just recently, some unbelievable things had happened. First, her mother was threatened with a knife in front of her company during broad daylight. Yet the assailant was only detained for a few days, fined a mere few hundred, and then released without further punishment.

She had gone to her father for help, intending to hold the person accountable, only to coincidentally discover that her father had a mistress.

In a panic, she rushed back to her grandmother’s house, intending to inform her mother to give her a heads-up.

Instead, she overheard a heated argument between her aunt and her mother, and it was then that she discovered Li Si was actually her aunt’s biological daughter—and that it was someone related to Li Si’s grandmother who had threatened her mother with a knife.

How could she possibly swallow this rage? She had already been jealous of Li Si for her engagement to the Leng Family. And now, with this unfolding, why should Li Si have it all? Did Li Si think that because of her engagement to the Leng Family, she could rest easy without a care in the world?

She had to find a way to expose the truth about her to that Young Master Leng and make him abandon her. At that moment, Ye Duowei’s eyes were icy cold as she glared at the chair where Li Si had just been sitting. She was determined to make her pay—to crush her underfoot mercilessly!

Completely unaware of this, Li Si was in the car with Leng Mochen, who had driven her back to Jinyuan. It was her first visit. Perhaps because fewer people lived there, despite the luxurious décor, the entire villa felt cold and desolate, devoid of any sense of warmth.

"No wonder you don’t like living here!"

Li Si followed playfully behind him up the stairs. Glancing around from above, she concluded that her own home was much better—at least it was cozy and full of life.

Leng Mochen turned back with a pitiful expression. "See? Now you know. So, stay here with me! Don’t you think I’m pitiful?"

She could hardly stand him acting this way. She deliberately shook her arms with exaggerated theatrics. "Could we not talk like this? You’re giving me goosebumps all over!"

He didn’t care, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "From now on, I’m all yours. It’s time you got to see the real me!"

"But what if I still prefer your cool and aloof demeanor? What then?" Li Si quipped as she followed him into his bedroom. Black and white—it was exactly what she’d expected. White walls, a black bed, and everything about the room exuded a cold, monochrome palette, making it clear this was a man’s space.
