veryone became interested and gathered around. Even Du Ming, who had been drinking quietly by himself just moments ago, was drawn in by the commotion.Luo Ningxi, in order not to steal the spotlight, h...Li Wenle rarely saw Li Jiancheng this serious. She rolled her eyes and burst into tears!

"Daddy bad! Bad daddy, give me my toy back!"

Yu Lan couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene. "Second brother, it's not a day or two that LeLe and Jian Ningyi aren't close. Look at you scaring the child! Today is his birthday."

"Your words are wrong, sister-in-law. There's no mother who wouldn't love her child. You must have given birth to your brother's children and haven't experienced this feeling."

Li Jiancheng broke into a wide smile, but his words were like a sharp knife, piercing Yu Lan's heart. Her face immediately changed color.

Luo Ningxi looked at the group of people from the Li family, each with their own ulterior motives, and raised her eyebrows slightly. "Perhaps I should go up and have a look. That longevity lock is ingeniously designed, and I have some details to inform Mrs. Li."

After Luo Ningxi finished speaking, she followed Jian Nini's direction and turned upstairs, completely ignoring the strange looks from the few people downstairs.

……

The second floor of the old house.

Jian Ningyi opened the ornate box in her hand. The long life lock sent by Luo Ningxi lay quietly within.

Her long and beautiful eyes glittered with excitement, suppressing the trembling of her fingertips. She picked up the longevity lock under the light and examined it for a few moments, then opened the drawer beside her and carefully placed the pre-cut longevity lock she had inside the box.

The old man loved LeLe dearly; if he saw that Luo Ningxi had sent a broken longevity lock, he would surely be furious!

With everything in place, Jian Ning's lips curled into a cold smile.

Just then, the door behind him suddenly opened, and a magnetically cold voice came drifting in.

What are you doing

Jian Ningyi was startled and quickly looked back, discovering Li Botong leaning against the door, his eyes looking at her with an obscure expression.

How did he get here

Jian Ning's hand, feeling guilty, trembled slightly, knocking against the small bell on the longevity lock next to the lacquered box, causing a faint chime.

Crisp and pleasant to hear.

Li Bochen walked straight past, his gaze passing over Jian Ningyi and landing on the cabinet. He just happened to see the longevity lock inside.

Jian Ning's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Li Bochen would notice something amiss. She took the initiative to step forward and get closer to Li Bochen, her voice soft and suggestive.

"Achen, how did you come here"

Li Bohen's face was stoic, he calmly evaded her gaze and walked to the side of the cabinet. "Now it's my turn to ask you questions."

When Jian Ningyi saw the man subconsciously distance himself, a hurt flashed across her face. She spoke unwillingly, "I was just looking at how the lock is designed. What are you nervous about Are you afraid I'll harm you, Luo Ningxi"

"I'm not nervous about her, am I making you nervous"

Li Bochen supported his palms on the cabinet where the longevity lock was placed. His tall figure completely blocked Jian Ningyi's line of sight, his voice lazy and playful.

Jian Ning's face instantly turned pale, her eyes becoming red in an instant.

She grabbed onto Li Boche's sleeve, just about to speak, when a woman's cold voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Excuse me for interrupting you two."

Luo Ningxi originally wanted to follow along to find a restroom, but she coincidentally bumped into this scene!

The two seemed to be saying something, their postures were intimate. Jian Ningyi's face was pale, and she pitifully tugged at the man's sleeve.

Lu Ningxi's eyes flickered slightly, forcing down the nausea in her stomach. She stood there, a smirk playing on her lips as she looked at them, "I just came over to remind Madam Li that the silver lock cannot be touched directly with your hands, otherwise it will affect the luster of the ornament. I didn't expect to interrupt the two of you..."

She hesitated, her gaze sweeping over Li Bochen's eyes that were as still and deep as a stagnant pool. She couldn't help but feel a pang of wistfulness.

At this point, being able to remain calm is impressive. This scoundrel probably doesn't even realize how shameless he is!

Seeing Luo Ningxi come over, Jian Nini not only didn't restrain herself, but instead主動 approached Li Bochen. Her fox eyes were full of provocation!

"Thank you, Miss Luo, for reminding me. It's just a small trinket. Even if it loses its luster, so what I can just get a new one."

Luo Ningxi curled her lips, her clear eyes too lazy to pay them any mind. She retorted without hesitation, "By the way, I just heard Yu Lan saying that your son doesn't get along with you. Your husband's face wasn't looking too good already. I wonder what he'll think when he sees what just happened"

"You!"

"That's enough." Li Bichen raised his hand to close the lacquered box containing the longevity lock, his gaze fell on Luo Ningxi, and he spoke coldly, "Go down first, the old master will be here soon."

After saying that, he turned and left the bedroom. This action, in Luo Ningxi's eyes, was undoubtedly an act of concealment, a way to help Jian Ningyi out of trouble!

Luo Ningxi pursed her lips, gave Jian Ningyi a disdainful smile, and turned to walk out.

The two stood in silence, walking side by side down the quiet corridor.

Finally, Li Bochen's low voice echoed faintly, "I'll have someone send you back. The Li family isn't as simple as you think."

"Is Young Master Li speaking to me It was Mrs. Li Er who invited me here, and I can't possibly refuse her request, can I As for what just happened..."

Luning Xi stood on her feet, innocently twisting her face to look at the man, "Don't worry, even if you two were entangled in bed just now, I wouldn't say anything…"

Li Bochen's face suddenly darkened. He turned around, pressed Ning Xi against the wall by her shoulders!

"Well, now you're getting angry"

Luo Ningxi looked at the man's sinister face, the mockery in her eyes even stronger. "Yes, I forgot, she's pregnant now. You shouldn't be willing to hurt her, right"

Li Boche restrained his anger with great effort, tightening his grip on Luo Ningxi's shoulder. "Jian Ningyi is a lunatic. She called you here just to make things difficult for you. And that night, I really thought it was you..."s."Don't be afraid, I'm here. With me, everything will be alright...""Woooooo..."The terror of surviving the ordeal instantly overwhelmed Luo Ningxi. She hugged Yu Chengnan tightly before her, tears s...
