Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 92 - 89: The Old General Takes the Field

His fingers lightly brushed against her silky black hair, then moved to her smooth, porcelain face. At that moment, her lips seemed to tempt him, inviting a taste. Leng Mochen gazed at her indulgently. Ever since she fell ill that time, every thought of her felt distinctly different from before.

Reason told him to stay away—she was practically like a little sister to him! But his body gradually closed the distance, drawing closer and closer, until he could feel the soft rhythm of her breath against his face. He inhaled gently, her sweet scent filling the air.

Just one more centimeter and he could touch those soft pink lips, imagining they must feel like jelly. She showed no signs of waking, still deeply asleep! His lips, acting against reason, slowly pressed down onto those enticing lips!

In that moment, his mind went completely blank!

It was an even more beautiful sensation than he had imagined. Just as he pulled back to savor the memory, a sudden knock on the door jolted the atmosphere. Li Si stirred awake, groggily blinking her confused eyes open!

"Come in!" Leng Mochen’s voice carried a trace of unsteadiness.

The situation before her left Li Si puzzled. Why had her "big brother" been so close just now? And why did her lips have this faint ticklish sensation? Could it be...?

When Du Xue entered, she immediately sensed something unusual. Leng Mochen, who was usually cold and distant with everyone, now had an odd expression on his face; meanwhile, Li Si, sitting on the sofa, had messy hair, sleepy eyes, and slightly parted, alluringly pink lips—it was hard not to notice the subtle temptation in the scene.

What’s going on? Did I interrupt something? Her heart tightened!

Leng Mochen was the first to recover his tranquility, his voice chilly as he asked, "What is it?"

Du Xue quickly shifted to her business-like demeanor. "Mr. Leng, there’s a dinner meeting with President Jia at six o’clock. What do you think?"

"Postpone it!"

Du Xue was startled. "But..." Leng Mochen’s sharp glare silenced her immediately.

"You can leave work now."

"Understood, Mr. Leng!"

As Du Xue left, her gaze lingered with a complex expression on the still-bleary Li Si.

"Big brother, is your meeting finished?" Li Si yawned and asked. Maybe she had just been dreaming earlier—it had to be a hallucination. Yes, that must be it!

"Kid, let’s have dinner together in a bit. What do you feel like eating?" Leng Mochen’s expression was calm, but his eyes were fixed on her rosy lips.

Li Si smacked her head. "Dinner? Look at me, I almost forgot! Brother, I actually came to find you for something. Someone posted photos of us eating out together on the campus website, and they’re saying awful things about me—calling me a gold digger!"

"When did this happen?" Leng Mochen’s expression turned serious. Such rumors were unacceptable, especially during her student years when reputation was crucial!

"Just in the past couple of days. Shasha was the first to notice it. What are we going to do, Brother? I’m so fed up with it—and in the dorm, there are people who keep sniping at me with sarcastic comments! It’s driving me insane!" Li Si grumbled as she tousled her hair, making her already messy locks even more chaotic.

Leng Mochen, unable to bear her self-inflicted distress, sat down beside her and firmly stopped her hands. "Don’t worry, I’ll handle this. Now go get ready for dinner—come with me!"

Li Si pouted and reluctantly agreed, "Fine, but I want skewered lamb!"

"You!" Leng Mochen couldn’t help but playfully tap her nose. In his eyes, there was an emotion Li Si couldn’t comprehend.

The saying goes, an experienced player is worth two novices.

Though Leng Mochen wouldn’t exactly qualify as an old hand, his skills were unquestionable. By the next afternoon, he had found out who was behind the incident!

To everyone’s shock, the culprits turned out to be Yao Meiling and Li Fei.

It began when Zhang Meihua lost the house her brother originally bought, which had been taken back by Li Si. She took to cursing Li Si at home, and Li Fei—already brimming with resentment toward her—grew even more spiteful. Li Fei desperately wanted to ruin Li Si’s reputation, so none of the men around Li Si would want anything to do with her again.

Coincidentally, Li Fei crossed paths with Yao Meiling, another classmate who harbored desires to get back at Li Si. Following the principle of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," these two rivals joined hands in a pact!

Yao Meiling leveraged her husband’s underlings to track Li Si’s movements, using sneaky tactics and some stalking to obtain photos of her. Together, Yao Meiling and Li Fei crafted and published the defamatory post!

But Leng Mochen intervened swiftly—when he acted, the impact was immediate! freeweɓnovel.cøm

The post was removed from the server, and Yao Meiling’s husband faced immense pressure on his career. Upon discovering his wife was the cause, the man, who usually prided himself on loving his wife deeply, lashed out in fury when he returned home!

"You foolish woman—always causing trouble! Let’s see if you’ve learned your lesson this time!" Yao Meiling was beaten black and blue; if not for her pregnancy, his strength likely would’ve sent her to the hospital!

"Li Si, I hate you! Why? Why are there always people helping you? Next time, you won’t be so lucky!" Yao Meiling muttered venomously as she remained lying sideways on the floor after her husband stormed off. Her eyes burned with malice as she stared out the window, grinding her teeth as she murmured.

As for Li Fei, Leng Mochen didn’t go easy on her despite her being one of Li Si’s relatives. Meng Zijun, who outwardly expressed indifference toward Li Fei, privately engaged in things he shouldn’t have. While the public viewed Meng Zijun as an innocent party caught in the crossfire, it was no coincidence when photos surfaced of them entering a hotel together.

Ultimately, the incident faded from the school’s gossip mill. After all, universities weren’t like high schools; such scandals weren’t rare—plenty of couples were known to spend weekends at hotels or inns.

Li Si’s life continued as usual, though little did she know, greater turmoil was just around the corner!

Beijing, Ye Family.

Ye Duowei returned home in high spirits after a day out, finding her mother sitting alone on the sofa with a cup of coffee. She cheerfully clung to her mother and said, "Mom, why didn’t you go out to attend any parties?"

Mrs. Ye sighed, "I’m just not in the mood. By the way, where did you go with Yin Xian? Looks like you had a great time!"

"Where else? Just the usual places! But I’ve noticed lately that Brother Xian doesn’t seem to have feelings for me anymore. He’s nowhere near as attentive as he used to be!" she complained to her mother. When they were together, Yin Xian no longer displayed the warmth and care he once did; his cold behavior deeply bothered her.

"People change, Weiwei. You have to understand—what you did back then was indeed wrong. And you’ve been away for years now. Yin Xian has had to adjust to that absence, hasn’t he?" Mrs. Ye furrowed her brows, offering gentle advice.

"Maybe. But Mom, I feel like there’s someone else in his heart now—and that person isn’t me!"
