Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 183 - 180 Valentine’s Day Engagement Party

At noon the next day, Jiang Fan arrived. Maybe it was the Sanya sun; the darker-skinned Jiang Fan had tanned more, but his complexion looked great, and his eyes were still as bright and sparkling as ever.

The three of them hugged warmly as soon as they met. Jiang Fan examined Li Si closely and teased, "Li Si, you’re still so fair? Can’t you cooperate a bit and tan yourself slightly?"

"Fine, tomorrow I’ll go bake myself under some lamps, happy now?" Among the three, Li Si was the fairest, Bai Shasha came second, and Jiang Fan could only rank third. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Her remark triggered hearty laughter from the other two. Bai Shasha waved her hands, laughing hard: "Don’t! Otherwise, your dear Brother Leng might come after the two of us!"

"Really? Is it that serious? So, where are we heading first?"

Li Si and Bai Shasha had been sent to the airport by Leng Mochen’s car today, and there was a driver assigned to follow them around all day—they were free to go wherever they wanted to have fun.

If Li Si were driving herself, it wouldn’t work—the roads in Beijing were too unfamiliar to her, and she’d probably get lost.

Jiang Fan blurted out, "Quanjude, Wangfujing, Great Wall—shall we tour all of them?"

"Yes, yes! Roast duck is a must, and we have to try all the snacks too. And definitely climb the Great Wall. If we’re short on time, even a group photo there works!" Bai Shasha agreed enthusiastically.

Li Si nodded excitedly. "Well then, what are we waiting for? Let’s go!"

The two girls cheered loudly.

The engagement dress had already been tailored, and all preparations for the engagement were complete. With nothing weighing her down, Li Si could spend the entire day playing and relaxing with her two close friends.

Leng Mochen, on the other hand, was having a hard time. He had wanted to squeeze in some romantic moments or a special pre-engagement date with his beloved, but there wasn’t the slightest space or opportunity for him to do so.

As people say, "when you have three women, chaos ensues." They nearly tore the roof off with their antics. Fortunately, Jiang Fan sensibly stopped Bai Shasha from babbling on endlessly and coaxed the grinning Li Si to settle down. By 1 AM, the trio finally drifted into their sweet dreams.

Before they knew it, Valentine’s Day arrived—the day of Li Si and Leng Mochen’s engagement.

In the hotel lounge, Bai Shasha and Jiang Fan were dressed in evening gowns. Bai Shasha wore a princess-like pink dress, while Jiang Fan opted for an elegant lavender dress. They exchanged glances and couldn’t help noticing the charm in each other.

Li Si, having been meticulously dolled up by the makeup artist, had her delicate features refined to perfection. Wearing a handmade pearl wedding gown, a dazzling diamond necklace, and a crown adorned with gemstones, she looked every bit like a fairy.

Bai Shasha and Jiang Fan moved closer to her, telling Su Meng to forget about worrying with the shutter sounds of the camera as they took group photos. Jiang Fan couldn’t help but tease, "Sisi, as someone who’s halfway into the married-women club, do you have anything to say?"

Li Si replied earnestly, "Can we be a little more serious? You don’t know that if I cry and smudge my makeup from laughter, I’ll have to redo it! Plus, you shouldn’t only ask me these questions; the life-savvy lad on my right is more qualified to respond!"

Bai Shasha affectionately linked arms with her and continued posing, but she muttered quietly, "Li Si, how can you do me like this? I’m really curious—will Brother Leng faint from a nosebleed when he sees your flawless look later?"

Unable to maintain her picture-perfect smile with exactly eight exposed teeth, Li Si switched to a subtle smirk, took several more photos, and hurriedly passed the spotlight to someone else.

After taking a few photos with Su Meng and her mother, a knock on the door came from outside. Li Si’s heart started to race; she knew Leng Mochen must have arrived.

The sight of Li Si captivated Leng Mochen upon first glance—this elegant and beautiful girl, starting from today, would officially become his fiancée.

His heart surged with excitement, though he maintained his usual calm, collected demeanor, much to the disappointment of Bai Shasha and the others, who were eager to witness his reaction.

"Let’s go," he said gentlemanly, standing by her side and offering his arm for her to hold.

Li Si stood up, linked arms with him, and walked step by step out of the lounge. Bai Shasha and Jiang Fan followed behind, while Su Meng and her mother decided to head straight to the guests’ area discreetly.

Just as Li Si felt a touch of disappointment at not getting a compliment from him, he leaned close to her small ear and whispered, "You look gorgeous today."

She immediately looked up at him, who looked dashing in a white suit—a sight that made her heart skip a beat. "You look incredibly handsome yourself!"

The engagement invites, planned by Mrs. Leng, were delivered to families they were close to and others they had dealings with. Most of the attending guests had significant social status, so the hall was filled only with soft music and light murmurs—no chaotic scenes unfolded.

Li Si shyly stood on the stage with Leng Mochen, her arm wrapped around his, under the gaze of countless eyes that she knew harbored not only admiration but also jealousy, resentment, curiosity, and disdain towards her background.

Several fashionably dressed young ladies had already shot her resentful, envious glares. Clearly, Leng Mochen was the center of attention and competition.

Particularly his secretary, Du Xue. Since the headquarters moved to Beijing, she had transferred back after handling affairs in North City. Seeing the close interaction between Li Si and Leng Mochen today—how matched they seemed—made her deeply uncomfortable, though she dared not let it show.

Li Si glanced briefly at Du Xue’s direction and purposely whispered in Leng Mochen’s ear, "Wow, I didn’t know you were so popular with women. After today’s engagement, how many society misses are going to be crying in the bathroom?"

Leng Mochen stifled a laugh and imitated her by leaning close to her ear. "You’re only just realizing? Your husband has always been highly sought after. But, being the rarity I am, isn’t it you who’s going to be celebrating in the bathroom for bagging me?"

Li Si squeezed his arm as she pinched him hard. "Stay serious! Everyone’s watching us—how can you call me your wife when we haven’t married yet?" Her tone was playful and soft, carefully muffled so no one—even the nearby emcee giving an impassioned speech—could catch wind of it.

The ladies in the crowd, however, couldn’t miss the couple’s sweet interactions, grinding their teeth in envy, much to Li Si’s secret delight.

Leng Mochen furrowed his brows intentionally, feigning irritation as he turned to her. "If you don’t call me your husband, who should I be? An oppa?"

Li Si’s eyes sparkled with mischief. If she weren’t onstage, she’d want to give him a thumbs up—he actually knew about this term?

"Oppa? That’s actually not bad!"

Leng Mochen: ...Spare him, please!

At this moment, the emcee ended his speech and announced it was time to exchange engagement keepsakes.

The two halted their playful banter and focused on the next segment.

Under the dazzling lights and the music, colorful bubbles floated across the stage as he retrieved the engagement ring from a large shell. Gently placing it on her right middle finger, he whispered in her ear, "Bound to you for life."

Moved by the romantic atmosphere and sweet melody of "The Most Romantic Thing," she delicately picked up the custom watch, slipped it onto his wrist, and softly replied, "You’re mine now."

A lifetime may be long, or it may be short. But she only wanted to love him well, be with him, and grow old together, sitting quietly and singing that song "The Most Romantic Thing."

After pouring champagne and executing the six-layer cake-cutting ceremony, it was time for the buffet. Leng Mochen and Li Si held hands as they received blessings from familiar and unfamiliar faces alike. (To be continued.
