Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 702 - 619: How Is She Here?

Unfortunately, these words, when heard by Li Si, didn’t touch her much at this moment.

She acknowledged that, indeed, in this world, they were the ones who understood each other best and knew each other inside out.

But that didn’t mean she could continue enduring the repeated suspicions and heartbreak.

"I’m immune to what you’re saying now! Sometimes actions matter more! What’s the use of sweet talk? In the end, isn’t it still the same—you doing whatever you want?"

"It won’t be!" He pulled her into his arms, and Li Si angrily tried to break free. He always did this—said sweet things and then acted recklessly when problems arose.

Even after passion subsides and problems seem resolved, underneath it all, it’s still a confusing mess.

The accumulation of conflicts, time and again, had led to today’s lack of trust.

If it were the two of them in the past, she would have boldly asked him directly, but what then?

Now, however, the trust between the two was visibly fading.

Perhaps he still trusted her completely, never wondering what she might do.

But as for herself, with his constant progression, the gap between them kept growing larger.

Barriers formed by people and events increasingly made her feel insecure and mistrustful.

Overthinking seemed to have become her norm.

Even if things were truly as he explained, her heart still felt uneasy! Uncomfortable!

If that really were the reason, then what had all her days of self-pity, crying into the pillow, been about?

"Then give me one more chance, okay? If I mess up again, you can ignore me forever! Speaking of this time, I was utterly baffled at first.

Now I finally understand the reason. And I know you’re hurt because you care about me!"

"Who cares about you?" Li Si stiffened her neck and retorted quickly, "I just can’t let my things be touched by anyone else! As long as you’re still mine in name, your heart shouldn’t wander!"

Though she didn’t want to admit it, her heart softened because of his words.

After all, he hadn’t truly done anything to betray her — for now, she could only wait and see.

Leng Mochen looked down and saw her dark eyes darting about. Her little head was surely full of wild thoughts.

Unable to resist, he cupped her face despite her resistance, gently whispering with their noses pressed together, "Okay! It won’t happen again! From now on, if there’s a problem, let’s address it directly. Don’t bottle it up, alright?"

Li Si inhaled the familiar scent from him, feeling the sunlight streaming through the window and warming her to the core.

Even though their gazes locked and his eyes were brimming with her image, she couldn’t shake the feeling of helplessness in her heart. Had she truly lost the trust and love that had once filled her whole heart?

They chatted for a while longer before Leng Mochen mentioned that there was a banquet tonight.

He had originally come home to pick her up, but when she wasn’t there, he found her at the café with Bai Shasha instead.

It was there that he overheard the conversation, finally unraveling the mystery and understanding the cause of their cold war.

Li Si glanced at him and suddenly realized her bag and phone were left at that shop.

"It’s all your fault! And now I don’t know where Shasha is!"

If that carefree soul got flustered and forgot to collect her belongings, things could escalate dramatically.

Leng Mochen rubbed his nose, "It’s all my fault! Use my phone to call her!"

"Alright then! I’ll call her on the way home, but I need to go back to change into an evening dress first!"

Li Si and Leng Mochen opened the door, and not far away, two bodyguards bowed respectfully.

The group stepped out together. When they had entered earlier, Li Si had been too caught up in her emotions to notice her surroundings.

Surprisingly, this teahouse had an ancient charm, exuding a unique atmosphere.

In the hall, some guests were conversing softly, the air filled with the rich and pleasant aroma of tea. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Suddenly, a figure caught Li Si’s attention.

The young woman sat by the window, calmly gazing outside, as if the whole world had detached itself from her.

Across from her, facing away from them, sat a man in a navy-blue suit.

Li Si tugged at Leng Mochen’s sleeve, "Look! Isn’t that girl Leng Mo?"

Leng Mochen followed her gaze, and it indeed was Leng Mo! She was wearing a white blouse, her hair impeccably styled, and her profile conveyed an air of aloofness.

"Yes! What’s she doing here?" A trace of contemplation flickered in Leng Mochen’s eyes.

Li Si hesitated, wondering whether to greet her. Currently, Zeng Qiuping’s disputes with the Leng Family because of company matters were quite fierce.

The phrase "when enemies meet, their eyes blaze with fury" fit perfectly, though Leng Mo had always been an exception.

Perhaps that’s why, despite Leng Mohao and Zeng Qiuping’s conflicts, everyone still treated Leng Mo with the same regard as before.

On the contrary, when facing Leng Mo, even Mr. and Mrs. Leng seemed to show additional compassion.

At this moment, Leng Mo retracted her gaze from the window, turned her head, and immediately noticed them.

She rose promptly and strode toward them, lightly nodding. "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law."

Her tone was calm, as if nothing had happened.

Leng Mochen nodded slightly in greeting.

Li Si responded with an awkward laugh, "Leng Mo, what a coincidence! You are—?" She motioned toward the man.

Leng Mo glanced back at the man who was now peeking in their direction and said with some indifference, "A blind date."

The man’s face became visible, his evaluating gaze carrying scrutiny. His short hair was neatly styled into a three-seven split, his facial features unremarkable, yet the combination gave off a slick and worldly vibe.

Li Si’s heart clenched. How could she not guess what was going on!

She hurriedly waved her hand to end the awkwardness, "Well, you carry on! We’ll be going now!"

Li Si couldn’t continue exchanging pleasantries with her because Leng Mo’s gaze seemed even more desolate than the last time she saw her.

Beneath the calm surface was a suffocating bleakness.

Had she found out? Found out about her deceased boyfriend? Was that why she seemed like this?

"Alright," Leng Mo still responded with faint indifference, with no hint of excessive emotion.

As if she truly had no idea what had happened between them and her mother.

Li Si tightly clung to Leng Mochen’s arm, her expression slightly shifting as she quickly exited the teahouse.

Perhaps, Leng Mo already knew about her boyfriend’s death.

Or maybe, Zeng Qiuping couldn’t accept their grandfather’s decisions regarding shares and assets, thus forcing Leng Mo into this blind date.

But regardless of the reason, Li Si couldn’t shake the discomfort in her heart.

If she hadn’t heard Jin Yichen mention the story of Leng Mo’s boyfriend, it wouldn’t have mattered as much.

It’s normal for men and women to marry at an appropriate age—nothing wrong with that.

But the thought of seeing Leng Mo’s serene, emotionless eyes filled her with a faint sadness and empathy for her.

Could it be that Leng Mo had given up on herself, planning to randomly find a man just to live out the rest of her days?

And that man she saw? He was definitely not a good match for Leng Mo! Leng Mo deserved someone better—someone who would cherish and love her!

Before getting into the car, Li Si glanced one last time toward that window seat and let out a soft sigh...
