Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 206 - 192 How Am I Not Serious?_2

Life at W University, compared to North City, felt much more fulfilling and joyful to Li Si. If she ignored Ling Wei’s occasional probing and Du Juan’s snide remarks in the dormitory, she felt life was still quite beautiful.

Actually, Li Si could guess why Ling Wei behaved like that—it was nothing more than a few clear reasons. As for Du Juan, her family’s financial situation seemed poor, so she would flatter Ling Wei daily and tag along to enjoy food and clothes.

Li Si didn’t bother with them. She was happy spending time with Liu Xiaole, attending classes and studying together. On days without classes, they explored all the delicious food near campus and went shopping together to buy little trinkets.

At night, she returned to the apartment and spent cozy and romantic evenings with Leng Mochen. Over time, she became familiar with the surrounding area near the campus.

One day, Leng Ning called her to go shopping. Leng Mochen happened to be on a business trip out of town. With nothing else to do, she drove to the mall where they had agreed to meet.

Upon meeting, Leng Ning pouted playfully and teased, "Sis, is it that if I don’t make plans with you, you’d be so immersed in lovey-dovey moments with my brother that you’d forget about me? If my brother weren’t on a business trip, would you even have come?"

Li Si laughed and retorted, "Nonsense! How could that be! Isn’t it just because I’ve been a little busy adjusting to the new environment? Good little sis, how about I treat you to a big feast later?"

She affectionately linked arms with her, and the two walked and chatted as they went.

"Now that’s more like it! Sis, I won’t hide it from you. The real reason I invited you to go shopping today is because I’ve been feeling a bit down. I thought spending time with you might cheer me up and ease my mood!" Leng Ning’s eyes briefly revealed a hint of helplessness and sorrow. Although fleeting, Li Si caught it.

"Sure! You know what my greatest strength is? Being a great listener! Go ahead and tell me what’s on your mind. I’ll even give you a serving of soul-soothing advice!"

Leng Ning saw how effortlessly she cracked jokes and couldn’t help but laugh along. "You really are such a bundle of joy, no wonder my brother is head over heels for you, wishing he could hold you in the palm of his hand!"

"That’s an exaggeration! I’ll accept the nickname ’bundle of joy,’ but as for your brother—come on, it’s me who’s holding him in the palm of my hand, alright?"

The two casually walked into a clothing store, chatting while Li Si casually browsed through the items on display.

Leng Ning picked up a white dress and held it against herself in front of the fitting mirror. Upon hearing Li Si’s words, she grinned mischievously. "I’m the one who has the most say in this matter. My brother was never like this before. Even with his ex-girlfriend, his displays of affection were limited. But when it comes to you—he won’t let anyone say a single bad word about you!"

After her blunt remark, she realized it might have been improper. Observing that Li Si only smiled and showed no change in expression, she relaxed slightly.

Although Leng Ning had suddenly brought up her brother’s ex, Li Si didn’t feel too bothered. It simply caused a fleeting image of Qin Xin’s face to flash through her mind. She still wasn’t sure what the relationship between that woman and him truly was.

The two wandered through the mall, strolling leisurely and collecting several items in their shopping spree. Eventually, they stopped at a men’s clothing store. Li Si’s gaze landed on a striped shirt worn by one of the mannequins, and she instantly took a liking to it.

Leng Ning saw her pause with a sparkle in her eyes and teased, "Sis, are you planning to buy clothes for my brother?"

"Xiao Ning, what do you think of this one? I feel like it’d look great on your brother!" Li Si stroked her chin as she imagined the handsome sight of Leng Mochen wearing the shirt.

"I think it’s pretty good too. Let’s go in and check it out!" Leng Ning pulled Li Si’s arm as they entered the store. A cheerful saleswoman stepped forward and enthusiastically asked if they needed assistance.

Li Si pointed at the shirt displayed in the window, asked for Leng Mochen’s size, and paired it with a brightly colored tie.

After paying, the two headed out of the store, chatting and laughing. Suddenly, someone called out Leng Ning’s name.

Curious, Li Si looked toward the source of the voice. She saw a stunning woman holding the hand of a sharply dressed little boy, smiling warmly at Leng Ning. freewebnoveℓ.com

Leng Ning frowned deeply and visibly expressed her displeasure, scrutinizing the woman from head to toe before sarcastically asking, "What do you mean by this?"

The woman seemed slightly intimidated by Leng Ning and timidly spoke up, "Xiao Ning, I didn’t mean anything. I just happened to run into you here! Your brother, he..." Her gaze then shifted toward Li Si, who stood silently at the side.

Leng Ning abruptly interrupted her sharply, sternly criticizing, "What nerve do you have to call me ’Xiao Ning’? Are our ties even that close? Looking at you with a child in tow, you clearly have a family now. Yet in front of a child, can’t you show a little decency?"

After saying that, she grabbed the curious Li Si and stormed off in agitation.
