Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 189 - 186: Fate Willing, We’ll Meet Again!

Leng Mochen listened intently and couldn’t help feeling that this all sounded like something out of a movie. "The Li family really has some serious connections. How did they even manage to find Tian Yaru?"

"I’m curious too. I originally thought I wouldn’t hear from them again, but this has completely taken me by surprise." She sighed. "How can someone be located so easily? And yet, those children who are kidnapped have to endure endless hardships, searching for years and still not being found."

"Let’s not talk about this now. What’s your take? Should we head back home earlier?" Leng Mochen lay back on another lounger, slipped on his sunglasses, shielding himself from the blazing sunlight.

The sound of waves stirred by the sea breeze echoed endlessly. Here, one’s eyes were inevitably drawn to the surrounding green and azure hues. Li Si gazed at the vast expanse of blue ocean and made her decision: "We’re not going back!"

She didn’t want to meddle in the lives of others anymore. She needed to be more resolute. Besides, she understood how difficult it had been for Leng Mochen to arrange this trip. He had put aside an overwhelming amount of work to give her a beautiful engagement honeymoon. How could she let irrelevant people occupy their thoughts and emotions?

"I support you! Sweetheart, let’s head back to the villa. The sun’s too scorching!" They had switched to a different hotel and were now staying in a private villa with its own swimming pool.

"Alright!" Li Si packed up her things and left with him. The two walked hand in hand along the soft sandy beach, exchanging smiles as their eyes met.

Back at the villa, Li Si showered first. As she dried her damp hair, she sat by the poolside, reminiscing about their visit to Blue Dream Island yesterday. The mountain scenery there was so breathtaking it felt suffocatingly beautiful. Every moment felt like a dream, with powerful waves crashing between the two mountains. This was the epitome of "turquoise seas and azure skies."

The only regret was that there was no bathing facility, so after exhausting themselves and sipping a drink, they returned home.

At the time, they joked about how they’d love to live there forever if not for the mundane ties of the outside world.

They had been out for several days now. Occasionally, Su Meng would call her to talk about the shop’s affairs. With only a few days left until the 25th, everything was ready for the trial opening.

Jiang Feng stayed behind in Beijing this time, not only handling Mo Si’s matters but also overseeing Simeng’s concerns. He was undoubtedly the busiest of them all. In contrast, Li Si had much more leisure, though Leng Mochen occasionally had to deal with company documents while she slept.

"What are you thinking about?" Leng Mochen’s sudden voice behind her startled her.

"Why do you always walk so silently? You scared me!" she complained playfully but genuinely. She hadn’t even felt someone approaching, her mind still preoccupied.

He sat beside her, gently patting her head. "There, there. No need to be scared."

"Hey! Why treat me like a three-year-old?" This guy really had a way of treating her like a child.

Her remark made him laugh out loud.

"To me, you are my little sweetheart—a child who loves to eat, cry, and fuss. Tell me, isn’t that just you?"

She retaliated mischievously, "If that’s the case, from now on I’ll just call you Uncle!" The very image of calling him "Uncle" made her burst into giggles.

He frowned to show his dissatisfaction and promptly silenced her chattering mouth with a punishing kiss. He didn’t let go until she was out of breath.

"You bully! Hmph!"

Her flushed cheeks and slightly swollen lips made the person beside her nearly transform into a wolf on the spot.

"Alright, feeling better now?" He knew she was the type who often acted tough but had a soft heart. Internally, she must be struggling a lot.

She nodded and sighed, "You always understand me. I said I wouldn’t let them affect me, but deep down, I still feel strange. Maybe I’m just inherently indecisive."

"Listen to me—clear your mind! Uncle will take you to the night market!"

They say that shopping and good food cheer women up, and that couldn’t be more accurate!

Li Si wore white hot pants, a pink T-shirt, and flip-flops, looking fresh and adorable.

If it weren’t for her being in Bali, she wouldn’t have had the chance to see Leng Mochen dressed in oversized shorts, flip-flops, and yes—a pink T-shirt as well. It was undeniably a couple’s outfit!

The two let go of all pretense, roaming the night market hand in hand like an ordinary young couple.

Having been accustomed to his mature demeanor, she found this refreshing playfulness oddly enticing. Her hand itched to touch his face. Was she secretly a cougar with a thing for younger-looking guys?

Leng Mochen had to stop her numerous attempts to touch his face. While he didn’t mind the intimacy, he wasn’t comfortable doing it under the gaze of so many foreign tourists. Private moments were all hers, but public "displays" weren’t his style.

The night market was full of local flair. Prices were very cheap, yet the food was unbelievably delicious. Li Si had an egg roll, some skewers, and even went for Indonesian fried noodles. Sitting at the street-side stall and savoring food added a uniqueness to the experience.

Leng Mochen had a few bites too and nodded approvingly. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Li Si was in a great mood, smiling brightly as she ate and observed the bustling little stall. It wasn’t long before a young couple nearby caught her attention.

The petite girl dressed provocatively kept sneaking glances in their direction, which piqued Li Si’s curiosity.

She nudged Leng Mochen and whispered, "Hey, that girl over there keeps looking at us. What’s up with that?" It wasn’t just a passing glance; her persistent gazes were odd.

Leng Mochen cast her a cold glance. "Ignore it. Finish eating and we’ll leave." Being in a foreign land and having Li Si with him, Leng Mochen preferred to avoid trouble. Even if the girl’s gaze was intense, he had no interest in engaging.

Li Si swallowed her noodle and nodded in agreement.

Just then, the girl casually walked up to them, sweetly saying, "Hi! Are you two Chinese?" She must have overheard their conversation in Mandarin.

Li Si nodded, while Leng Mochen remained silent and indifferent.

"Xiao Zhe, come over here! Wow, it turns out they’re our fellow countrymen! Miss, is this your boyfriend? He’s so handsome. We’re here traveling; meeting you guys feels like destiny. Why don’t we become friends?" The girl was clearly targeting Li Si, who seemed more approachable, while the man beside her appeared aloof.

The boy, Xiao Zhe, cheerfully joined them. "We’re from Beijing! What about you guys?"

"Same," Li Si answered briefly, instinctively maintaining her guard toward strangers.

"Wow, what a coincidence! Isn’t it fate? Miss, my name is Ling Wei, and this is my boyfriend, Wang Zhe. Why don’t we hang out together? Our English is pretty bad..."

She fluttered her big eyes and looked at them with anticipation, the kind of look that usually elicited a yes from most people. But neither Li Si nor Leng Mochen was "most people." When Ling Wei mentioned their English being bad, Wang Zhe visibly stiffened for a second.

Li Si elegantly wiped her mouth and responded sincerely, "Oh, but our English is pretty bad too! Sorry, we’re heading out now. If we’re meant to meet again, we’ll see each other!"

No matter what Ling Wei’s intentions were, Li Si didn’t like her at first glance. For some inexplicable reason—maybe it was fate—seeing this person instantly made her uncomfortable, from her demeanor to her actions.

"Alright then! If we’re meant to meet again!" Ling Wei put on a disappointed expression but didn’t lift her head until Li Si and Leng Mochen were out of sight.

Wang Zhe consoled her briefly. Being so enamored with her, he didn’t voice the question lingering in his mind. They were English majors—how bad could their English really be?

Li Si thought this was just a minor encounter and didn’t give it much thought. She continued happily with Leng Mochen, strolling through the market before heading back to rest.
