“What happened with the man surnamed Li?” Dai Zhenjie asked, feeling a sense of unease. Could it be that this man surnamed Li also liked Leng Xiaoyao?
Or did Leng Xiaoyao have a special relationship with him?
Dai Ya said, “I’ll say something that might make you angry. Other than not knowing his true identity, his appearance, build, air, and skills are all superior to yours. Lin Musi was extremely interested in him, but he never showed any interest in her and remained cold towards everyone except for Leng Xiaoyao. He only treats her kindly. I’m not sure what their relationship is.”
Although she would be happy if Dai Zhenjie pursued Leng Xiaoyao, it should be a rational pursuit. If Leng Xiaoyao was really in a romantic relationship with Mr. Li, she wouldn’t want her brother to ruin it.
“Leng Xiaoyao is only eighteen years old! He can’t be her boyfriend!” Dai Zhenjie said. He wasn’t angry about Dai Ya mentioning that Mr. Li was better than him since there were always people who surpassed him. He knew quite a few of them! One of them was also surnamed Li.
However, he didn’t connect the Mr. Li he knew with the Mr. Li that Leng Xiaoyao knew.
“Right, she’s only eighteen years old, but she has still stolen your heart,” Dai Ya said with a smile.
“Yeah! Leng Xiaoyao is only eighteen years old, but she gives off a mature and stable vibe that surpasses someone like you in your mid-twenties. Don’t worry, I just met her. Even if I have any feelings for her, I won’t be stubborn about it. Everything depends on fate. The worst thing in a romantic relationship is to force someone to accept you.” Dai Zhenjie laughed.
If someone fell deeply in love after only meeting twice and became determined to win that person, it wasn’t necessarily true love but rather the damn ego that couldn’t tolerate failure.
No, it should be selfishness.
Leng Xiaoyao returned after a long while, with a big smile on her face.
“Um, sorry! I won’t be having dinner with you this afternoon. A friend of mine from the capital city has arrived. I need to treat him.” Leng Xiaoyao apologized. There was no real reason to refuse, but coincidentally, Li Mochen had arrived. Therefore, she naturally had to see him first.
Although she said that she wanted to assess Li Mochen, in her heart, she already treated him as her boyfriend. Therefore, his position was more important than that of a friend.
“Well, you can bring your friend along! It’ll be more enjoyable with more people! Of course, if we might disturb you, then forget it,” Dai Zhenjie said, seemingly unconcerned, but he did want to see this friend of Leng Xiaoyao’s from the capital city.
Seeing Leng Xiaoyao’s obvious smile, he had a premonition that this friend wasn’t normal. Could it be Mr. Li?
“No need to worry about disturbing us. Actually, you both already know him,” Leng Xiaoyao said. She didn’t know what Dai Zhenjie was thinking, but she didn’t mind because she had already told Li Mochen that she was with Dai Ya and Dai Zhenjie. Li Mochen didn’t mind either and said that although he wasn’t close to Dai Zhenjie, he knew him.
Therefore, it wasn’t a problem to dine with them, especially since Dai Zhenjie and Xiao Yuzhe got along well.
“Oh! Who is it?”
Upon hearing that, Dai Ya and Dai Zhenjie were both surprised. They had suspected that it might be Mr. Li, but now they didn’t think so.
Dai Ya thought that Dai Zhenjie didn’t know the Mr. Li she knew, and Dai Zhenjie thought that he didn’t know the Mr. Li that Dai Ya had spoken about, and Leng Xiaoyao said that they both knew him, so they directly denied that Mr. Li.
“You’ll know later. He just got off the plane and will be here in about forty minutes. When he arrives, it should be about time for dinner.” Leng Xiaoyao deliberately kept them in suspense.
As a result, they couldn’t ask any further even if they were curious.
Forty minutes later, Li Mochen came.
Both Dai Ya and Dai Zhenjie were surprised.
“Mr. Li.”
“Mr. Li.”
As soon as they said that, they subconsciously looked at each other. They were both surprised that the other person actually knew Mr. Li.
“Hi, Mr. Dai, Miss Dai.” Li Mochen greeted them politely.
“Is this the Mr. Li you spoke about?” Dai Zhenjie asked Dai Ya, although it was already very obvious.
“Yeah! Do you also know Mr. Li?” Dai Ya asked.
“Mr. Li is a friend of Xiao Yuzhe.” Dai Zhenjie couldn’t help gasping for breath. He knew Li Mochen’s family background very well. Li Mochen was from the Li family in the capital city. Although he had cut off his relationship with the Li family, he had outstanding abilities. He invested in many large companies, and had contacts with many important figures.
He had very high status.
If such an important figure was interested in Leng Xiaoyao or had a romantic relationship with her, he certainly wouldn’t dare to compete with him.
The little persistence he had left was instantly shattered.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of Li Mochen, but Li Mochen had never offended him. He couldn’t provoke him for no reason. It would only cause himself trouble.
“Wow!” Dai Ya was very surprised. She didn’t expect that the Mr. Li they knew was actually the same person. It seemed that fate brought them together!
After exchanging greetings and sitting down, they began to chat. When it was time for dinner, they went to eat together and parted after the meal.
Although Li Mochen and Leng Xiaoyao didn’t mention their relationship during the meal, Dai Ya and Dai Zhenjie could tell that even if they weren’t in a romantic relationship, Li Mochen definitely had feelings for Leng Xiaoyao. Leng Xiaoyao felt the same way about him. It made Dai Zhenjie give up completely.
Unless Leng Xiaoyao and Li Mochen’s relationship went bad one day, he wouldn’t have the thought of chasing Leng Xiaoyao again. The premise was that he hadn’t met a girl he liked yet.
On the way back, Dai Ya asked Dai Zhenjie, “Zhenjie, what is the background of this Mr. Li?”
“His name is Li Mochen. His father is Master Li’s second son, but his parents died young. The Li family is one of the seven great families in the capital city. He has cut off relations with his family, but he has very outstanding abilities. He invested in many large companies and has contacts with many big shots in government, business, and military circles. Xiao Yuzhe is very respectful of Li Mochen. He doesn’t only treat him as a friend but also seems to have a feeling of looking up to him,” Dai Zhenjie said.
To be honest, Dai Zhenjie also admired Li Mochen a bit. In fact, he admired people who were better than him. He regarded them as role models for learning.
Upon hearing that, Dai Ya couldn’t help gasping for breath again. “Do you know someone named Mu Yiyang then?”
