Everyone was curious about Li Mochen’s background since Master Mo was so polite to him. However, they had no idea and only knew that Li Mochen was a very important figure.
Chu Jianan was aware of Leng Xiaoyao’s relationship with Li Mochen and could feel that Li Mochen had a high status, but he realized Li Mochen’s status was even higher than he thought when he saw Master Mo being so polite to Li Mochen.
Leng Changyuan and Leng Yecheng knew Li Mochen was the man who had saved Lu Changwei along with Leng Xiaoyao, but they were unaware of his background. Therefore, they were surprised when they saw Master Mo’s attitude towards him. They suddenly realized that Leng Xiaoyao’s connections were more important than they thought.
“It’s my honor, Master Mo,” Li Mochen said.
The Mo family wasn’t in the same faction as Li Mochen, but they had received a lot of help from Li Mochen. Mo Jingxuan was in Li Mochen’s team, so Master Mo was very respectful of Li Mochen.
However, Master Mo didn’t know what Mo Jingxuan was doing with Li Mochen. He didn’t clearly know about Li Mochen’s background either. He only knew that Li Mochen was very powerful.
Although he was curious about Li Mochen’s background, he had never investigated it, because he understood that he shouldn’t know some things.
After that, Li Mochen took out a wooden box seven or eight inches in size and ten centimeters high and handed it to Master Mo. “This is a gift from me. Master Mo, may you be healthy forever.”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Li.” Master Mo took Li Mochen’s gift.
After that, Si Yiqi and Lu He sent Master Mo their gifts. Master Mo thanked them too, then asked Mo Jingxuan to treat them.
Mo Jingxuan led Li Mochen and the others to the side, but they didn’t walk away.
Because the party was about to begin, Li Mochen didn’t go to see Leng Xiaoyao. Leng Xiaoyao didn’t walk over either.
Then Master Mo gave a speech and the guests surrounded him.
Master Mo thanked them for attending his birthday party first, and asked them to help themselves. Afterwards, they started drinking and chatting.
Leng Xiaoyao excused herself from her friends, then walked towards Li Mochen.
Because Li Mochen was the biggest focus of this party, many people paid special attention to him. It was not only those rich ladies; businessmen and officials also wanted to strike up a conversation with Li Mochen. However, they were still hesitating to do that.
Therefore, when Leng Xiaoyao walked towards Li Mochen, everyone saw her and turned to focus on her.
Some were curious about whether Li Mochen would talk to Leng Xiaoyao, while some thought Leng Xiaoyao thought too highly of herself. How did she dare to strike up a conversation with Li Mochen?
Nevertheless some guests, who had seen Leng Xiaoyao talk with Mo Jingxuan, had different opinions. They weren’t strangers, so it wasn’t weird.
Accordingly, they were envious of Leng Xiaoyao for having a relationship with Li Mochen.
“Hi, Brother Mochen, Mr. Si, and Mr. Lu.” Leng Xiaoyao went to Li Mochen and the others, then greeted them.
Hearing the way Leng Xiaoyao called Li Mochen, Xiao Yuzhe and his friends were even more convinced that Leng Xiaoyao had an unusual relationship with Li Mochen.
“Hi, Xiaoyao.” Li Mochen replied gently.
“Miss Leng, you amazed me once again tonight. You look gorgeous.” Si Yiqi complimented. He was really amazed by Leng Xiaoyao.
“Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Si.” Leng Xiaoyao thanked him. Since he kindly complimented her, she sincerely thanked him.
“Oh, this is Mo Jingxuan, the Mo family’s eldest grandson. This is Xiao Yuzhe, and Zhai Yunxiao.” Li Mochen introduced them to Leng Xiaoyao.
“Nice to see you, Mr. Mo, Mr. Xiao, and Mr. Zhai.” Leng Xiaoyao smiled and greeted them meaningfully.
Seeing Leng Xiaoyao’s meaningful smile, Mo Jingxuan and his friends were nervous. They were still slightly worried that Leng Xiaoyao might tell Li Mochen about what they had done earlier.
“Nice to see you too, Miss Leng.” Mo Jingxuan and his friends politely replied.
“Brother Mochen, can we talk privately?” Leng Xiaoyao asked. Her sight fell on his stomach first, then his face. Her intention was very obvious. She wanted to ask him about his injury.
Li Mochen understood what she wanted to ask about, so he said, “I’m fine. It’s not serious. I’ve already dealt with it.”
Li Mochen said it aloud because his friends knew he was injured. There was no need to keep it a secret.
When Leng Xiaoyao said she wanted to have a private talk with Li Mochen, Mo Jingxuan and the others thought she was going to tell Li Mochen what they had done just then, but they were relieved after hearing Li Mochen’s reply.
“Brother Mochen, if you don’t agree, I’ll just pull you to the side.” Leng Xiaoyao threatened.
Li Mochen wasn’t seriously injured, so he didn’t need to be worried about it, but Leng Xiaoyao knew he was going to have a relapse of his illness tonight.
Although Leng Xiaoyao didn’t know the reason why and when Li Mochen would have the attack tonight, she must solve the problem before it happened.
Once Li Mochen had a relapse of the illness, his wound would be pulled and might become serious.
Mo Jingxuan and the others were surprised by Leng Xiaoyao’s boldness. How did she dare to threaten their boss? They were curious about Li Mochen’s reaction.
Li Mochen wasn’t mad at all, but said resignedly, “If I leave with you publicly, it’ll cause rumors.”
Li Mochen didn’t care about that, but Leng Xiaoyao was a girl, which wasn’t good for her.
Leng Xiaoyao clearly knew Li Mochen’s character, so she understood that he cared about her.
Even if Leng Xiaoyao didn’t care about it either, she had to protect the Leng family’s reputation.
“Fine, then I’ll see you at the restaurant on the top floor in ten minutes,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“Sure.” Because Leng Xiaoyao gave in, Li Mochen didn’t turn her down again. Although he could do that, he didn’t want to hurt Leng Xiaoyao’s feelings.
“See you then,” Leng Xiaoyao said. After that, she walked away to see her friends.
Once Leng Xiaoyao was gone, Mo Jingxuan asked urgently, “Boss, what’s your relationship with Leng Xiaoyao?”
“Nothing,” Li Mochen said. They weren’t even friends yet!
