Leng Xiaoyao didn’t think of any reward, so she let Leng Yucheng handle it himself.
Upon hearing Leng Yecheng’s words, Li Mochen realized that he hadn’t thought of giving Leng Xiaoyao a reward.
Hmm! What would be a good reward?
After hanging up with Leng Yecheng, Leng Xiaoyao saw Wang Yiming’s call. As soon as she answered it, Wang Yiming excitedly said, “Leng Xiaoyao, I just received a call from the principal saying that you won first place in the national competition. Congratulations!”
He was busy on a call with the principal earlier.
Wang Yiming was Leng Xiaoyao’s head teacher. After hearing the news, the principal naturally told Wang Yiming first.
This wasn’t only Leng Xiaoyao’s personal honor, but also Wang Yiming’s and the entire Experimental High School’s honor!
Although An Chenmeng and the others were in class, they weren’t the kind of well-behaved students who listened carefully in class. Playing on their phones during class was a common occurrence, as long as they did it secretly and weren’t caught by the teacher.
Therefore, shortly after the message was sent on WeChat, An Chenmeng and the others found out. An Chenmeng exclaimed excitedly regardless of the situation. “Holy crap, first place!”
Her exclamation scared the whole class and the head teacher looked at her displeasedly. “An Chenmeng, what are you shouting in class for?”
“Sorry, my boss got first place in the national competition so I was too excited.” An Chenmeng explained immediately.
Sorry? It was really rare to hear that from An Chenmeng!
Everyone was aware that Leng Xiaoyao was An Chenmeng’s boss. When they heard her say that, the head teacher didn’t blame her. Instead, he asked, “Did you say Leng Xiaoyao won first place?”
“Yeah! There’s a trophy and certificate of honor!” An Chenmeng said, showing her phone to the head teacher.
The head teacher saw it and quickly came over to take An Chenmeng’s phone.
After seeing the certificate of honor with Leng Xiaoyao’s name, he was happy too.
Although Leng Xiaoyao wasn’t his student, she was from their school!
She was the champion of the national competition!
Although there had been many provincial champions from the Experimental High School of City Chang, they had never had a national champion before.
This wasn’t only Leng Xiaoyao’s personal honor, it was also their school’s honor, so he was excited.
The same thing happened in Class 8, where everyone was ecstatic about Leng Xiaoyao winning the national championship.
Reading that everyone was constantly praising her in the WeChat group, Leng Xiaoyao couldn’t stop grinning.
Seeing Leng Xiaoyao smiling so happily, Li Mochen smiled too. He was affected by her.
At that moment, Leng Xiaoyao looked over, and was mesmerized by his faint smile.
She had never denied Li Mochen’s appearance, but her first impression of him was redemption, so she had always closed herself off to other feelings towards him. Even if she had some inklings of feelings towards him, she would quickly suppress them.
Feeling Leng Xiaoyao’s admiring gaze, Li Mochen immediately stopped smiling and his heart began to beat faster. He didn’t dare to look at Leng Xiaoyao.
Leng Xiaoyao realized what was going on and felt extremely embarrassed, but she still teased him. “Brother Mochen, you look so good when you smile. Why do you always keep a straight face!”
Li Mochen’s face became even more tense after hearing that. He didn’t respond to Leng Xiaoyao, but his ears turned red.
“Brother Mochen, your ears are red,” Leng Xiaoyao said teasingly.
Li Mochen was startled and his heart beat even faster. Luckily, Leng Xiaoyao’s phone rang at this moment, which allowed Li Mochen to relax.
The call was from Ling Tianqi, who congratulated Leng Xiaoyao on the news that Xiong Manxin had shared with him.
“Hey, when are you coming back? Remember to treat us to a meal!” Ling Tianqi said.
“I’ll be back in a few days. I’ll definitely treat you guys to a meal when I’m back.” Leng Xiaoyao replied generously. She planned to invite not only Ling Tianqi but also An Chenmeng and others.
“Great, we’ll be waiting for you,” Ling Tianqi said before hanging up.
Li Mochen was suddenly displeased, and was somewhat annoyed that Leng Xiaoyao and Ling Tianqi were so close.
Unable to resist, he said sourly, “You’re inviting everyone else to dinner, but not me?”
“Of course you’re invited! I plan to cook for you tomorrow!” Leng Xiaoyao replied truthfully. It wasn’t just a way to appease Li Mochen. She had really planned to do so but hadn’t had the chance to say it yet.
“Great.” Li Mochen’s mood suddenly improved.
They went to Old Capital City Home-style Cuisine, but by the time they arrived, all the private rooms were taken, so they had to settle for a table in the main dining area.
They chose one near the window and wall, which had partitions on both sides to avoid being watched by others. After all, they were both good-looking and attractive.
…
When Mu Beihan returned home and saw her cousin there, she asked him about Leng Xiaoyao getting into Li Mochen’s car earlier. “Cousin Yiyang, does Brother Mochen have a girlfriend now?” she inquired.
Mu Yiyang was taken aback and replied. “No! Why do you ask?”
“I just saw a girl get into Brother Mochen’s car!” Mu Beihan exclaimed.
“What?” Mu Yiyang was surprised and curious, “Mochen is in the capital city? How come I didn’t know? Are you sure it was him?”
“I didn’t see Brother Mochen himself, but the car was definitely his.” Mu Beihan replied.
“Could it be Mu Yuan or Meng Fan? No, they wouldn’t dare to bring a girl along casually. Even if they did, it would definitely be related to Mochen.” Mu Yiyang speculated.
“Where did you see them?” Mu Yiyang asked.
“At a hotel, when we left after the competition. That girl is also one of the contestants and even won first place!” Mu Beihan said, with a good impression of Leng Xiaoyao.
Mu Yiyang’s eyes lit up as he suspected who the girl was. “What’s her name?”
“Leng Xiaoyao, she’s from City Chang.” Mu Beihan replied.
“That makes sense.” Mu Yiyang confirmed. “If both of them are in the capital city, why didn’t they contact me? They don’t take me as a friend! It’s rare for me to have a vacation!”
After completing two consecutive tasks, they needed a break. If it were anyone else, it would be difficult to find Mu Yiyang in the capital city.
“Do you know Leng Xiaoyao?” Mu Beihan asked in surprise.
“I do. She has helped me several times before. Beihan, don’t you want to practice martial arts? Leng Xiaoyao is very skilled, on par with Mochen. When you study at the Capital University, you can make friends with her and ask her to guide you.” Mu Yiyang suggested.
It wasn’t about using Leng Xiaoyao, he simply wanted Mu Beihan to make friends with her.
