Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 820 - 737: For Convenience (Third Update)

Since Buding was excluded from their bedroom by Leng Mochen, she felt that the child seemed to have grown up a lot, becoming more understanding. He was no longer as clingy as before and even showed great resilience.

However, how could she not see the deep intention behind Leng Mochen’s actions? Isn’t it just to be a groom every night without the interruption of a glaring light bulb, allowing him to be more uninhibited?

When Li Si returned to their bedroom, Leng Mochen had already taken a shower.

With his upper body bare, he leaned on the bedhead, fingers flying over the keyboard.

Seeing her come in, he gave an ambiguous smile, "Has the young master slept?"

Li Si, searching for clothes to change into, turned back to chat with him.

"He slept! Why aren’t you working in the study?"

Previously, whenever he came home, he would handle his work in the study.

Leng Mochen paused his actions, raising his head to look at her meaningfully, "For convenience!"

She felt his words were so odd!

Li Si, speechless, took her clothes and quickly entered the bathroom.

Leng Mochen, laughing at her disappearing figure, finished typing some words before closing his notebook.

He placed the notebook on the bedside table, got out of bed quickly, and headed straight for the bathroom.

Not long after, inappropriate sounds began emanating from the bathroom...

Meanwhile, having finished their washing up, Ouyang Yan and Leng Qiankai didn’t rest but instead chatted leisurely.

Ouyang Yan still felt that Li Si was hiding something from them.

Looking at Leng Qiankai about to take his medicine with a cup of water, she couldn’t help expressing her thoughts, "Qiankai! I feel that your son and his wife are definitely keeping something from us! Otherwise, why are they so familiar with Lao Jin? What exactly is it?

I’ve been thinking about this all night! Hope it’s not something bad!"

She was genuinely a little scared; they hadn’t had peaceful days for long, and now there’s potentially something happening again?

Leng Qiankai swallowed his medicine forcefully, put down the water cup, and helplessly advised her in a low voice, "You! Can’t stop worrying about everything! What could possibly happen? Even if the kids are hiding something from us, that’s normal! Your son is over thirty now, living his own life; can’t he have some privacy?"

He hadn’t noticed anything amiss at all.

Mochen is not a child, and now as a father, what is there for us elders to manage?

"Privacy is fine, but I always feel that Lao Jin and Li Si are too close! It’s a little unusual! He’s supposed to be Xiao Ning’s father-in-law! He treats her better than Xiao Ning!"

Leng Qiankai looked at her speechlessly and, after hesitating, ultimately spoke his thoughts, "Xiao Yan! You mustn’t let your imagination run wild! Don’t you understand what kind of person Li Si is after being married to Mochen for so long?

Furthermore, whom Lao Jin is fond of is his choice; whether it’s Li Si or Xiao Ning, they are his juniors!

The family has finally been peaceful for a while; don’t stir things up anymore!"

Ouyang Yan felt somewhat aggrieved, "Is that how you see me? I didn’t mean anything else! I just think Lao Jin is a bit too enthusiastic with Li Si!

And now you’re blaming me! Fine, I won’t say anything anymore, alright? Also, I don’t know what kind of charm pill Li Si used on all of you, old and young alike, but none of you ever oppose her.

Now, I can’t even voice a single dissenting word about her! Fine! I’ll just go to sleep, okay!"

Leng Qiankai looked at Ouyang Yan acting like a child, wrapping the double quilt around herself, and shook his head with both frustration and helplessness, muttering softly, "You! Just like our daughter said, you’re still not over menopause yet!"

Ouyang Yan turned her back to him, not responding, but her ears were sharp; upon hearing his words, she grew more annoyed, and her dissatisfaction with Li Si surged...

Li Si was utterly unaware of these developments, busying herself with family matters and issues concerning Simeng, leaving her no spare time to care about Ouyang Yan’s occasional sarcasm.

With the store’s anniversary fervor fading, the time moved into mid-April.

Li Si and Leng Mochen frequently found themselves confused, recalling that some events from that previous life hadn’t occurred.

Does this mean that the major event in May won’t happen either?

This truly is anxiety-inducing.

On that weekend, Li Si found some time to accompany Bai Shasha shopping for pregnancy and baby items. After shopping, the two casually entered a café for afternoon tea.

As soon as they sat down and placed their order, Li Si curiously questioned Bai Shasha, "You say your mom really plans to retire before you give birth?"

Bai Shasha nodded vigorously, smiling wryly, "Yeah! My mom is acting impulsively, isn’t she? Meng Meng’s child’s care is all done by her mom. We watch from the side, don’t we know?

Due to some trivial matters, Brother Wu and Meng Meng have had their fair share of quarrels!

You know my mom’s temperament and character—if she comes to help me with the baby! Oh my gosh! Spare me! It will feel like the world has turned dark!

Li Si also shook her head subtly. The last time Bai Shasha’s parents visited, she was rather envious.

Parental care is truly different, and as soon as Shasha was pregnant, so much love was bestowed upon her.

But, it can be problematic when two generations live under the same roof.

Moreover, Bai Shasha’s mother’s character differs from Su Meng’s mom. If she moves in to help with the child, it’s pretty much certain that she would want everything done her way.

Inevitable conflicts would arise between them!

Li Si asked in a soft voice, "What does your dad think about it? Actually, your mom could just take one or two months off to care for you during confinement, instead of retiring so early!"

Though she didn’t quite understand, early retirement and normal retirement seemed different.

Though the Bai Family might not lack the salary money, retiring early for the sake of a grandchild does seem somewhat unnecessary.

When Xu Er’s parents and Bai Shasha’s mom all meddle in Shasha and Xu Er’s life, conflicts are unavoidable.

Bai Shasha made a wry face, "My dad neither supports nor opposes it. Anyway, if my mom moves to Beijing to take care of me and the baby, he will stay in North City to work and live.

Actually, I know my mom is making a big sacrifice for my sake.

She’s hoping that after my maternity leave, I can return to work! No matter how much the salary is, at least I’ll have a job! She herself said she’s getting older, and staying longer at the company won’t change anything; better to leave growth opportunities for me!

But I’m truly afraid that if she comes, it’ll completely disrupt our lives. My parents-in-law are really open-minded; they don’t interfere with our life.

Yet my mom, she loves to meddle in everything. Once the baby arrives, she’ll interfere even more!

Li Si also shared Bai Shasha’s worries, "Why not talk to your mom again? Actually, she’s doing it out of concern for you! She’s afraid that once you return to work after maternity leave, the babysitter or nursemaid might neglect the child! Such incidents aren’t rare!"

Bai Shasha, intensely frustrated, scratched her head, "I know she means well, but I finally got out from under her control; how can I easily go back to square one after a few years of relief just because of a child?"
