Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 196 - 189: Cherish Well (Two - s in One)

After Mr. Leng Sr. and Leng Mochen went to the study, Leng Ning started chattering away as she examined the silver jewelry, even trying on rings and bracelets. Her eyes gleamed with delight.

"Sister-in-law, you have such good taste! I absolutely love these!"

Seeing that both Leng Ning and Mrs. Leng seemed to genuinely like the gifts, Li Si finally felt relieved. She had initially worried about what to get for people who already had everything. In the end, it was Mochen who said, "As long as it’s chosen with care, it’s not about the value but the sentiment."

"Xiao Ning, as long as you like it, that’s what matters! Mom, do you like it?" She had started addressing them differently after the engagement, and now it felt natural to her.

Mrs. Leng beamed and said, "I love it! You’re so thoughtful! When we have the chance, let’s all go on a trip together!"

"Yes! Yes! Really? Mom, where should we go then?" Leng Ning clapped her hands in joy, her face lighting up at the mention of travel.

Mrs. Leng playfully tapped her daughter’s forehead, laughing. "You’re such a child! How old are you now, and you’re still so childish? Spend some time with your sister-in-law and learn how to be more composed!" This made Leng Ning pout dramatically on the side.

Li Si lightly patted Leng Ning’s small hand and said, "Mom, I think I should learn more from Xiao Ning! She’s so lively and adorable! I need to lighten up—I’m too serious sometimes."

That was truly how she felt. She wished she could be more like Leng Ning, enjoying life so freely and cheerfully every day.

"You’re not serious at all! I love your personality! By the way, are both of you ready for the new school term? Has everything been sorted out at school?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"We just need to report in directly!"

At the mention of school starting, Leng Ning let out a dramatic groan, "Winter break is so short!"

She got another light smack on the head from Mrs. Leng. "All you think about is playing! Time to refocus. Look at your brother—he’s already settled his big life event. Next, it’ll be your turn. Time for me to worry about your love life!"

"Are there any decent boys at school? If anyone catches your eye, give it a shot. Honestly, how many girls are like you—several years into college and still haven’t dated even once!"

Mrs. Leng couldn’t help feeling exhausted from worrying over her two children. Now that her son was finally sorted, her attention had naturally shifted to her daughter.

Leng Ning’s face instantly turned red, but she playfully pouted and teased, "Mom, you’re so modern! Isn’t it a good thing that I’m not dating? Plenty of parents would wish for that! But not you—you’re practically begging me to start dating. Are you worried I’ll stay single forever and move back home?"

Li Si loved the dynamic between the mother and daughter. It was clear they communicated like close friends.

Mrs. Leng noticed something was off. "Xiao Ning, why is your face turning red? Could it be... you already have someone in mind?" This piece of news would certainly delight her.

Her daughter had good looks, a great personality—everything about her was wonderful. The problem was she was just too playful and lacked stability.

Li Si also leaned in and watched Leng Ning closely, curious about how she would respond. If her guess was right, it might be that senior of hers!

"Ah, Mom, there’s nothing to it! I’ll tell you when the time is right!" Leng Ning slapped her flushed cheeks, pouting in an exaggeratedly coy manner.

"Alright, we’ll wait for your good news then! I’m heading to the kitchen to check on how Nanny Liu is doing with the food. You two have your chat!" Mrs. Leng knew better than to push too hard—it could easily make the kids resistant to opening up.

After Mrs. Leng got up and left, Leng Ning and Li Si exchanged a silent look and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Leng Ning scooted closer to Li Si, curled her lips into a grin, and whispered, "Sisi, you’re acting a bit different today! Be honest—did you and my brother already have your, you know, wedding night?"

Li Si quickly bit her lip and denied, "No such thing!" Her heart raced as she wondered, could she really tell?

Just as Leng Ning was about to press her further, Leng Mohao walked in with a stunning young woman, who was holding a beautifully wrapped gift box.

His gaze swept over the two women on the sofa in the living room, and he smiled warmly. "Li Si, Mochen, when did you two get back?"

"Just yesterday," Li Si replied, her tone polite, as she had only a lukewarm impression of Leng Mohao.

"Xiao Ning, Li Si, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Liu Jiaqi!" Leng Mohao held the girl’s hand and introduced her to the pair.

"Hello!" Liu Jiaqi’s voice was soft and sweet.

"Hello!" Li Si greeted her courteously.

Li Si studied the girl carefully—her features were delicate and pretty, and her petite figure made her look even smaller next to the tall Leng Mohao. She guessed this must be that Liu Yisi’s daughter everyone mentioned during New Year.
