By chance, they ran into the guy who used to pursue Xiong Manxin.
After Xiong Manxin threatened him last time, he never contacted her again. Even now, when they met, he just gave her a cold look as if he didn’t know her.
The guy was with a girl Leng Xiaoyao and the others didn’t know.
However, Xiong Manxin did. The girl was her relative and they didn’t get along. They even got into fights before.
Xiong Manxin suddenly had a theory that the guy wasn’t really interested in her, but had another motive for pursuing her.
“Boss, I’ve discovered an important issue. That girl is my mom’s cousin’s daughter whom I have never gotten along with and even fought with before. Now that they’re together, do you think it’s possible that my cousin purposely sent this guy to pursue me to affect my studying for the National College Entrance Examination?” Xiong Manxin said. She didn’t feel particularly angry about it, just disgusted.
Upon hearing that, everyone thought it was possible.
“Damn, would someone really do things like this?” An Chenmeng felt angry and surprised at the same time.
“This kind of thing isn’t really that uncommon! In the future, no matter who pursues you, if you don’t like him, you don’t have to pay attention to him. If you do like him, be sure to observe them carefully, or else you might get deceived.” Leng Xiaoyao reminded them. “Of course, human emotions won’t always be smooth sailing. It’s impossible to fully understand a person. You have to take things step by step to find out, but being careful is better than being blind.”
“That’s right.” Everyone agreed.
Right after Leng Xiaoyao and the others boarded the plane and turned off their phones, Leng Xiaoyao received a call from someone, but she didn’t know about it.
It was Li Mochen. He had just finished a task and saw several missed calls from Leng Xiaoyao on his phone. However, her phone was already turned off.
Li Mochen quickly checked his computer and found out that Leng Xiaoyao had gone to the capital city, so he quickly packed up and went there as well.
This task was particularly dangerous and lasted a long time. He had been running back and forth along the border countless times. Two of his subordinates died and he was also injured, and had bruises on his face. Fortunately, it wasn’t serious.
He had never cared about his appearance before. Sometimes he even disliked his striking features because they always attracted too much attention and caused people to stare at him, but now, even a shallow wound made him feel uneasy, worried that Leng Xiaoyao would dislike it.
What he was even more grateful for was that his skills had improved greatly after practicing. Otherwise, he could have been in serious trouble this time.
After arriving in the capital city, Li Mochen didn’t go to the airport because he knew that Leng Xiaoyao wasn’t alone. When he arrived in the capital city, Leng Xiaoyao was already there. Therefore, he didn’t have time to go pick her up and could only go directly to the Hanlin Manor to wait for her.
Although he originally only stayed at Wu Wensi’s place temporarily, he had bought it directly afterwards.
Wu Wensi’s first reaction was: “Do you like Leng Xiaoyao? So you want to be closer to her?”
Li Mochen said nothing, but his silence represented his approval.
Although Wu Wensi was very surprised, he wasn’t shocked because when Li Mochen came to see him with Leng Xiaoyao, he felt that Li Mochen behaved differently towards Leng Xiaoyao.
Wu Wensi naturally cared about his friend’s love life, but was worried that Leng Xiaoyao was too young at only eighteen years old.
The age wasn’t a problem, but even if they got together, they would still need at least four years before they could get married. This time was a bit long and he was afraid that something might happen in between.
Although Li Mochen was handsome and rich, feelings were unpredictable.
Wu Wensi felt that he was worrying too much. After all, he was also still single!
Since Wu Wensi didn’t need this house, having only stayed there a few times since it was renovated, he decided to sell it when Li Mochen wanted it.
…
When the plane landed at the international airport of the capital city, Leng Xiaoyao turned on her phone and saw Li Mochen’s missed calls. She immediately called him back.
Li Mochen answered it immediately.
Once the phone was connected, Li Mochen explained. “I’ve been out lately, so my phone has been off. I just turned it on today and saw your missed calls, so I called you back, but your phone was off.”
“Yeah, I guessed that. I’m in the capital city now, but I’m with my classmates. If you have time tonight and don’t mind, we can have dinner together. If you do mind, then forget it,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“I don’t mind.” Li Mochen quickly replied. It seemed as if he was worried that if he hesitated for too long, Leng Xiaoyao would change her mind.
Li Mochen’s reaction made Leng Xiaoyao feel a bit strange, but she didn’t think too much about it.
“By the way, has anyone from the Li family caused you trouble recently?” Li Mochen asked. Although he had been keeping an eye on Li Zongquan’s movements, he was still worried that something might be missed. After all, accidents happened.
“No,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
Li Mochen was finally relieved.
After hanging up the phone, Li Mochen felt a wave of uneasiness that wouldn’t subside.
At the same time, he hurriedly asked about the situation with the Li family to avoid Leng Xiaoyao and her friends being targeted while they were there.
Leng Xiaoyao wasn’t afraid of anything, but she had friends with her so Li Mochen was afraid that the Li family might target them instead.
The Li family had been too busy recently to pay attention to Leng Xiaoyao, but they had slowed down these past few days. The Jiang family failed to get solid evidence, so they couldn’t do anything to the Li family.
Li Mochen didn’t really want to do anything to the Li family either for the sake of the previous Master Li.
After all, no matter how badly they treated him, Li Zongquan was still the previous host’s grandfather.
His tolerance had its limits. If they continued to cause trouble for him, he would fight back.
After leaving the airport, they, led by Leng Xiaoyao, took the subway instead of a taxi because it would require two cars to take the five of them.
It wasn’t that Leng Xiaoyao was unwilling to spend the money, but rather that An Chenmeng and the others didn’t want to separate.
The subway was crowded, and with so many people, bad things could happen.
Because it was summer, many girls were wearing skirts, and some men liked to use their phones to take pictures up their skirts. An Chenmeng saw this happen and couldn’t stand it.
Without even telling Leng Xiaoyao first, she rushed over and grabbed the man’s hand. “What are you doing? Taking pictures up a girl’s skirt in broad daylight? Come to the police station with me!”
