s."……After the official start, glasses clinked and flowed on the table. Li Chen's just-now stunt driving was impressive, especially for men who have a natural love for cars."Li Chen, let's do this tog...Upon clicking, it was Yu Chengnan who answered the phone call.

Luo Ningxi had just picked up the phone when a low, weary voice came from the receiver, "Hello, Xi Xi, I have some other projects to follow up on these days. My aunt has taken over the matters of the resort. She'll contact you later. We will definitely take responsibility for what Yu Shi should be responsible for."

Although Yu Chengnan didn't say it explicitly, Luo Ningxi knew that he must be under double pressure from the Li and Yu families before calling her.

"Anyway, all that's left is some compensation and maintenance operation afterwards. You should go busy yourself with other things first." Luo Ningxi replied nonchalantly.

"Xixi, I'm the one who dragged you into this. When things calm down, give me a chance to make it up to you, okay"

"Alright, Chengnan ge, I share the responsibility for this. You don't need to blame yourself."

Luo Ningxi's tone was as calm as water, not even the slightest ripple caused by Yu Chennan's words.

Yu Chengnan was silent for a long time before finally speaking again, "By the way, there's one more thing, Li Bochen... has he been bothering you again recently"

"Why did you suddenly ask that" Luo Ningxi tightened her grip on the phone, masking her surprise with a counter-question.

"I saw him at the hospital that day, I saw him chase you out, and I was worried he'd make things difficult for you, and…"

Yu Chengnan's voice held a hint of probing, "I just went to see Old Master Li. He said they're planning to use Jian Ningyi's pregnancy as leverage to get Li Botong and Mu Xiyin engaged. You probably haven't heard about this yet"

Engagement...

Although she had made ample psychological preparations, upon hearing the news again, Luo Ningxi's heart still ached painfully!

Soon, she nonchalantly spoke again, "Jian and I divorced a long time ago, so his marriage to anyone has nothing to do with me, and I don't care."

"You'll figure it out."

Yu Chengnan let out a breath inwardly, his voice becoming even more gentle, "Xixi, the murky waters of the Li family are deeper than you imagine. Be very careful when dealing with them."

"Got it, Chengnan ge."

After a few more pleasantries, they hung up the phone. The moment the call ended, a WeChat message popped up on the screen.

It's a message from Li Bochen.

If you're free tomorrow, come to the Li Corporation for a while. We can sign the follow-up settlement agreement.

Luo Ningxi was righteous and indignant. No matter how he looked at this news, it just didn't sit right with him!

No time!

Luo Ningxi let out a cold snort. The real culprit who caused the pavilion to collapse hadn't been found yet, and they were already eager to sign a settlement agreement!

He's still protecting his fiancée!

Just as I was thinking, another message came over there right away.

If you don't sign this agreement, you won't get the compensation and apology from Li Jiancheng. Are you sure you don't want it

It turns out to be Li Jiancheng's reconciliation agreement...

Although Li Jiancheng had a bad attitude, the Luo family was generous with their money. The Luo Corporation currently needed money in many places and its cash flow wasn't complete. Helpless, he could only irritably send a message: 【I'll be there tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock.】

……

On the other side, Li Bochen lowered his head to stare at his phone screen, a slight smirk playing at the corner of his mouth.

She must be over the moon thinking she's gotten away with it.

Then let's see, how long can she keep it hidden

"Lao Si, why are you smiling at your phone Did you even hear what I just said to you!"

Elder Li's feeble voice interrupted Li Boche's thoughts.

Hearing his father ask this, a playful smile grew on his lips, “Dad, I know you want to repay Mu Xiyin, but there’s no need to sacrifice my freedom, right I plan on playing around for a few more years; I have no plans to get married.”

"You're not young anymore, and now you have to help out at the company. Your older brother was already married when he was your age."

"Master Li looked at Li Bichen with a heavy heart, his eyes filled with helplessness. 'Before, I thought about letting the two of you cultivate your relationship and didn't interfere too much. But now it seems, if I don't interfere, you won't be willing to soften your heart!' "

That doesn't necessarily have to be Mu Xiyin.

Li Bochen leaned against the chair, his long legs crossed. "I've been eyeing a few models under Nan Hanchuan's command lately. They all seem pretty good. I can bring some back for you to take a look when you have time."

Facing such an attitude, anyone else would surely be furious. However, Old Master Li merely smiled, "Fourth son, you can pretend in front of others, but do you still need to put on a show in front of me I see that you just can't let go of Luo Ningxi!"

Since you know, why did you agree to Mu Xiyin and let me marry her Li Bichen retracted his smile, but the casualness in his voice remained unchanged.

"This is different," Old Master Li waved his hand. "I didn't care how you acted before, but you also need to remember that only YinYin can be the daughter-in-law of our Li family."

The moment the words left her lips, the atmosphere in the ward instantly grew heavy.

The once harmonious father-son duo instantly became tense. Li Bochen even said without hesitation, "If you're really serious about her, I don't mind having another stepmother."

Mr. Li suddenly became furious, almost jumping off the bed. What did he just say

“I'm trying to find you a wife, I’m getting old! Are you trying to kill me”

"I see that you have a strong presence."

"You—"

"Alright, you've just escaped death, so don't get angry." Li Baochen extinguished his anger in time, tucked the blanket for the old man, and said calmly, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You're getting older, so you should enjoy your peaceful life and worry less about my private life."

Lao Yezi was very distressed to find himself a woman. He learned from those old ladies and cried, made trouble, and threatened suicide, forcing Li Baochen to make a statement about when he would get married and give him grandchildren.

But he remained imposing for decades, even though he knew that Li Boche didn't respond to soft pleas but rather to tough demands. He just couldn't bring himself to lower his pride and ask him directly.

Just then, a knock on the door broke the heavy and tense atmosphere.ubconsciously looked at Li Bichen, trying to maintain her ladylike demeanor and squeezed out a strained smile, "Fourth Shao, let's go too, and pick out a gift for the old man.""You two go by yourselve...
