Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 184 - 181 Xu 2’s Gift

Tian Yaruo also came to the scene today. Watching the child from afar, her small face radiated a happy smile as she quietly wiped tears from the corners of her eyes.

She vowed in her heart that it was all in the past. She had wronged Tiantian before, but from now on, she would never do anything to make her feel uneasy.

Originally, Tian Yaru also insisted on coming, but Tian Yaruo strongly refused. Mrs. Leng didn’t like her, so she purposefully didn’t send an invitation to her family. Moreover, Tian Yaru and Ye Cheng had gotten into a fight over some issues, leading her to move back to her parents’ home in anger recently.

When Li Si and Leng Mochen walked up to Tian Yaruo, she suppressed her excitement and calmly offered her blessings, "Wishing you happiness!"

"Thank you!" Li Si politely responded. To onlookers, it seemed as though the two were mere acquaintances. Leng Mochen simply nodded as if greeting someone casually.

After that, the two continued walking to the side. Their schedule was tight, and once this event wrapped up, they had to head to the airport for their flight to Bali Island.

The Leng Family was very supportive of their engagement trip. Mr. Leng Sr. had specially instructed them to enjoy themselves thoroughly and only come back after they’d had their fill of fun.

Mrs. Leng, with her meticulous attention to detail, was busy helping to prepare the travel essentials. She was inwardly delighted, thinking to herself that after this trip, the couple might even bring back a grandchild. As soon as she heard about it, she was extremely supportive!

Leng Qiankai was also supportive. Now that his son was engaged, it put his mind at ease. Otherwise, when the topic of children came up among some old friends, he would always feel slightly uneasy since their kids had all already started families, except for his late-married son.

Leng Ning even teased them, saying to have fun but not to forget to bring back gifts for her.

Li Si was genuinely happy. Her husband’s family was so friendly and easy to get along with. She reassured herself that she would treat them well in the future, just like her own family.

Leng Mochen kept glancing at the little woman beside him, the laughter in his eyes unstoppable. He teased her, "Are you ready for this?"

"Ready for what?" Li Si found the surroundings noisy and didn’t catch what he was saying.

"I said, are you ready for this?" His gaze was heated with meaning, making her heart race.

She couldn’t help but secretly pinch his waist on the side. "You and your dirty mind! Annoying!"

"Can’t I even have thoughts about my wife?" He playfully provoked her, especially since so many people were watching, further making her already blushing cheeks turn even redder. He felt secretly delighted.

At that moment, Long Wu and Xu Er walked over. "Hey, we’re all engaged couples now. What’s with the whispering? Speak louder so we can hear too!"

Long Wu hadn’t changed his ways. Ever since he and Su Meng had discussed their matters, he had returned to his usual self. However, once in a while, a flicker of pain could be seen in his eyes—but for someone not familiar with him, it would go unnoticed.

Those familiar with him included Li Si and Leng Mochen, yet they had no idea what had transpired between him and Su Meng. When they saw each other again, they acted like mere acquaintances—polite and distant.

"Really want to listen?" Leng Mochen shot a cold glance at him. Feeling bold now?

Long Wu quickly pushed Xu Er forward. "Look, look—on a joyous day like today, he’s still so icy. Don’t scare our dear Sisi! Xu Er, weren’t you planning to give them a gift? Why are you chickening out now?" He smirked mischievously and winked at Xu Er.

Xu Er handed over a beautifully wrapped box seriously and said, "I heard you’re heading to the airport soon, and I didn’t have much time to think about what to give. So here’s a small gift to express my feelings. Don’t open it now, though! Wait until you get there—then you’ll definitely appreciate my careful intentions."

Leng Mochen took the box, "Thank you!" and casually handed it over to Li Si.

Li Si, for some reason, felt that Long Wu and Xu Er had a look of mischief in their eyes. She guessed that whatever was inside the box couldn’t be anything good.

Feeling uneasy holding it, she handed it to Bai Shasha beside her.

Xu Er instinctively looked guilty, making her suspicions even more solidified.

Leng Mochen had already noticed the oddness, but he maintained his cool expression and said, "We Chinese value reciprocity. Xu Er, even though you’ve been living abroad, you must understand this principle too. When you and Long Wu get engaged, I’ll make sure to send you a gift of equal caliber as a token of appreciation!"

Long Wu internally exclaimed "Oh crap!" but didn’t dare show it on his face. He just hoped the couple would become so busy that they’d forget about his prank. How could he forget that Leng Er always made it even?

Xu Er’s composure was clearly not as refined as Long Wu’s, as his face turned pale instantly before nervously laughing, "No need! Let’s not make it so formal."

Li Si and Leng Mochen exchanged smiles, seeing the tacit scheming mirrored in each other’s eyes.

After the engagement party, Bai Shasha and Jiang Fan were escorted away by car, while Li Si and Leng Mochen took their carefully prepared essentials and rushed to the airport. After saying goodbye to Mrs. Leng and Leng Ning’s many anxious reminders, the couple boarded the direct flight to Bali Island, officially beginning their romantic engagement trip.

On the plane, Li Si curiously asked Leng Mochen in a low voice, "What’s the deal with the two of them?"

Leng Mochen gave a mysterious look around at the nearby passengers, leaned close to her ear, and asked, "Do you really want to know?"

"Of course!" She had some suspicions, but in the end, that box had been opened by Leng Mochen and kept aside without her ever getting a chance to see it.

"Call me hubby, and I’ll tell you." He took the chance to press a soft kiss on her earlobe while leaning in.

Her cheeks immediately flushed red, even her ear tips turning red. "What are you doing?"

He feigned innocence, "I didn’t mean to! Accidentally bumped into you!"

She didn’t believe him but, since there were other passengers around, didn’t take it any further.

"Forget it! If you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine—I wasn’t that curious anyway."

"Fine, I’ll tell you! That box contains..." He leaned close and whispered a few words into her ear, "condoms!"

Her face turned crimson with anger and embarrassment, and she hit him a few times. Internally, she vowed that she would find a way to get back at those two men full of mischief.

The flight attendants were warm and welcoming, offering everyone Indonesian snacks before takeoff.

There was a funny moment in the middle when the flight attendant came to hand out beverages. Both Li Si and Leng Mochen chose coffee. When the attendant asked the young man seated diagonally behind them what he would like, he asked about the options.

The flight attendant listed, "We have coffee, juice, cola, and Sprite."

The man then calmly replied, "I’ll have cola Sprite."

Li Si stifled a laugh, noticing that the attendant seemed to falter and her composure slipped for a moment.

After seven hours of flying, they finally arrived at Bali Island Airport. With the engine roaring, the plane landed smoothly, and the windows were immediately misted with condensation. At that moment, Li Si could feel the stark difference between internal and external temperatures—’half sea water, half flames.’

Prior to their trip, the couple had done some research. Bali Island has year-round summer temperatures, and in mid-February, the average ranged from 30°C to 25°C. With visas available upon arrival, they first completed their visa formalities and then headed to the five-star hotel they had booked in advance.

Along the way, they observed scenery quite different from what they were accustomed to in their homeland. The streets were narrow, and it seemed like peak travel season with heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Watching motorcyclists weaving in and out of the dense car flow, Li Si couldn’t help but worry—if a car were to suddenly brake sharply, the rider might be flung several meters away. (To be continued.
