3077 Why It Can’t Be Me?
Li Mochen was only struck dumb for a few seconds, then quickly came back to his senses. He was surprised, but could still calm down.
“Nice to see you. Have a seat,” Li Mochen greeted.
“Thanks.” Leng Xiaoyao smiled, then sat down opposite Li Mochen. “I thought I shouldn’t forget my manners, so I put on some make-up to cover the freckles on my face before coming.”
“I don’t think it’s important. You can just be yourself,” Li Mochen said. He had no bias against people who had a plain face, because other people’s appearance had nothing to do with him.
“Brother Mochen, you’re right, but no girl doesn’t care about her appearance. It’s just that I’m too young and I’m still a high school student, so I can’t pay too much attention to my appearance,” Leng Xiaoyao admitted.
Li Mochen agreed that girls cared about their appearance.
In fact, many girls pay attention to their appearance, not because they want to attract men, but to compete with each other.
Afterwards, they began to order.
After ordering, Leng Xiaoyao chatted with Li Mochen casually. Neither of them asked how much money they had invested in the stock market, and how much money they had won. Anyway, they were clearly aware that both of them had won a fortune.
As Li Mochen chatted with Leng Xiaoyao, a picture suddenly flashed in his mind when he looked at Leng Xiaoyao. In the picture, a beautiful girl glared at him.
Although the picture flashed by, Li Mochen believed it really existed. He saw the picture and remembered the girl’s face. Surprisingly, the girl looked the same as Leng Xiaoyao.
Although their faces were exactly the same, Leng Xiaoyao gave him a totally different feeling. They looked the same, but felt different.
And the picture seemed to be from a long time ago.
Why did it happen? Why did such a picture flash in his mind all of a sudden? Was he distracted for a moment? What did it imply? Or what did Leng Xiaoyao do to him?
Because he knew Leng Xiaoyao had super powers, it was unavoidable for him to be suspicious of her.
However, even though he was suspicious, he remained calm on the surface.
Li Mochen was surprised, but showed nothing, so Leng Xiaoyao didn’t notice his change.
Li Mochen saw a strange picture about Leng Xiaoyao, but didn’t avoid it. Instead, he wanted to figure it out.
Therefore, he paid more attention to Leng Xiaoyao afterwards, and sometimes even focused on her face. He didn’t just look at her when she talked to him.
When they spoke, it was the basic manner to look at one another, so Leng Xiaoyao didn’t think it was strange.
After all, Li Mochen didn’t show his strong interest on his face, he just calmly looked at her.
However, the picture didn’t appear in Li Mochen’s mind again.
Because he couldn’t figure it out right now, he stopped paying attention to it, but he kept it in mind.
After the meal, Leng Xiaoyao wanted to pay the bill. She wasn’t trying to impress Li Mochen, but she felt that it shouldn’t be the man who was paying the bill all the time. In addition, she asked Li Mochen out this time.
She wouldn’t ask men to pay the bill when they dined together. She felt it was better to pay equally if they weren’t close.
Even if they couldn’t pay equally, she didn’t want to cost him too much money.
However, Li Mochen did it before her in the end. In Li Mochen’s eyes, he would never let a female pay the bill when they dined together, no matter what their relationship was. It was just a matter of a man’s dignity.
Anyway, a meal didn’t cost much.
Li Mochen insisted, so Leng Xiaoyao yielded. If she continued to compete with him, he might be embarrassed.
When they walked out, they ran into Chu Jianan.
Fang Haoming left the hospital today, so they were celebrating it by having a meal here.
At that time, they had also finished their meal, so they met Leng Xiaoyao and Li Mochen by chance.
The moment they saw Leng Xiaoyao, they were all amazed. What a beautiful girl she was!
They had seen countless pretty girls before, but they were rarely amazed.
Especially when such a beauty stood with a very handsome man, they were a perfect couple!
However, they somehow felt that the girl looked familiar, but couldn’t remember where they had seen her before.
Chu Jianan and the others didn’t recognize Leng Xiaoyao. After all, they had only seen her with a plain face, but now she was really stunning.
Looking at their expressions, Leng Xiaoyao was amused. Although they didn’t recognize her, she had no intention of avoiding them. Instead, she faced them and told them who she was.
“What? Don’t you recognize me? You always disdain me. Why are you so amazed now? Don’t you feel embarrassed?” Leng Xiaoyao laughed mockingly.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Chu Jianan and the others realized who she was. All four of them were shocked.
Leng Xiaoyao? Why was it her? When did she become so beautiful?
Although they knew that Leng Xiaoyao had delicate features and could be pretty with make-up after hearing what Qiu Zhenyu said, they didn’t expect her to be so stunning.
However, the next moment, they were all upset, especially Chu Jianan.
At that moment, Chu Jianan was full of regrets. He couldn’t believe that Leng Xiaoyao could be so beautiful. If he had known that earlier on, he wouldn’t have ended their engagement.
Chu Jianan had to admit that he honestly regretted it.
Precisely because of that, Chu Jianan was furious when he saw Leng Xiaoyao with a man who was more handsome than him.
“Leng Xiaoyao, what are you doing here?” Chu Jianan questioned angrily. He didn’t want this beautiful girl to be Leng Xiaoyao.
“None of your business,” Leng Xiaoyao retorted.
“You…” Chu Jianan was struck dumb for a moment. After all, their engagement had already ended, so he had no position to judge her.
