The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities

Chapter 888: What are you throwing a childish temper tantrum for?

Li Sheng looked at the expressions on everyone’s faces and knew that they had misunderstood her meaning. Smiling, she explained:

"Big Brother Fu is wealthy, good-looking, and has a great physique. Not only is he the epitome of a tall, rich, and handsome man, but he also remains composed and impervious to female charms, wholly dedicated and unwaveringly loyal to his wife. With such exemplary qualities, it’s no wonder he’s not only my ideal type but also every girl’s ideal type around the world."

The other girls nodded in agreement upon hearing this!

Li Sheng laughed, "So, whether he is married or not has nothing to do with whether he is an ideal type."

Everyone then understood what Li Sheng meant and felt that her words made a lot of sense.

Fu Qiyuan raised an eyebrow and looked across at Li Xu, saying calmly:

"Your sister has good taste!"

"Pfft..."

Mo Shangjie burst into laughter, unable to believe how narcissistic their leader was in private!

Even though it was true, did he really need to be so smug about it?

He was also very outstanding, alright?

Fu Qiyuan’s cold eyes fell on Mo Shangjie’s face, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hand, giving a dry laugh.

Li Sheng’s response was unanimously agreed upon by everyone. It couldn’t be any truer, devoid of any exaggeration.

The temperature in the room inexplicably dropped, a cold aura slowly spreading from a certain direction.

Having narrowly escaped a crisis, Li Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Li Xu. But when their eyes met, the smile froze on her face.

Those pitch-black, narrow eyes were unfathomable, exuding a deep, cold aura. His expression was neither happy nor angry, yet full of a sense of distance.

Li Sheng bit her lip, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Did she... do something wrong again?

Seeing the confused expression on the girl’s face, the coldness in Li Xu’s eyes deepened. He glanced at her indifferently before downing his drink in one gulp.

Mo Shangjie saw his empty glass and hurriedly refilled it, but before he could put down the bottle, the glass was empty again.

He looked at Li Xu with wide eyes, slightly surprised at how he drank alcohol like water.

"Your drinking capacity has improved? But your sister hasn’t lost. Why are you drinking so freely?"

Li Xu’s indifferent gaze swept over Mo Shangjie’s face, and he said calmly:

"Thirsty."

Mo Shangjie: "..."

What an incredible answer!

He was at a loss for words!

After playing for a while, Su Ran looked at her watch and turned to Ye Zhichen.

"Zhichen, it’s getting late! Where is Chi Mu? Why didn’t he come with you tonight?"

Ye Zhichen’s face stiffened slightly, "He has something to do."

Su Ran looked at her quietly, "Is he coming to pick you up?"

Ye Zhichen’s face remained calm, "There’s no need. I know the way back myself."

Su Ran’s expression changed. The goodwill she had just developed toward Chi Mu instantly vanished, "Zhichen..." noveldrama

"Xiao Ran." Just as Su Ran was about to speak, Ye Zhichen called her name.

She looked at her, slightly raising an eyebrow, then curled her lips into a smile.

"It’s just a pregnancy. No need to be so cautious as to need someone by my side at all times, right?"

Su Ran looked at her but ultimately said nothing.

Saying more at this point was futile and would only add to Zhichen’s heartache.

She got married, but Su Ran didn’t witness her wedding. She also knew what Zhichen had endured in this marriage and how difficult each step had been.

But no matter how well she planned, she couldn’t win back someone’s heart.

How long would it take for Zhichen to see the end of this long marriage?

Or... would she pull back from the edge of the cliff?

Su Ran felt a pang of sorrow, reaching out to grasp Ye Zhichen’s hand, speaking softly:

"You can’t stay up late. Let’s end it here today. Go home and rest early!"

Ye Zhichen nodded.

As the gathering drew to a close, everyone toasted another drink to mark the end of the night, as well as for Li Xu’s last moments of single life.

At the same time, they congratulated him on his upcoming engagement!

The single’s celebration night officially ended, and everyone gradually left the private room.

Su Ran watched Ye Zhichen get into her car, reminding her to go home early for rest. Only after she saw her car leave did she get into the car that Fu Qiyuan had been waiting in.

Li Sheng stood at the entrance of Heaven on Earth, watching everyone leave.

At this moment, a girl beside her turned and waved, smiling:

"Shengsheng, my family’s driver is here. I’ll head off first!"

Li Sheng bit her lip and grabbed the girl’s hand just as she was about to turn around.

The girl turned to look at her, puzzled.

"What’s wrong, Shengsheng?"

Li Sheng looked at her, stammering slightly:

"Mianmian, can I go to your house tonight?"

"My house? Don’t you want to go home?"

Li Sheng nodded, lowering her eyes slightly, "Yeah, I made my brother angry today. I don’t want to go back and bother him. There’s no class tomorrow, so we can go shopping."

"I don’t mind. You’re not new to my house. My mom kept your room for you. But your brother’s engagement party is in a few days. Don’t you need to help?"

Li Sheng’s face stiffened, then showed an awkward smile.

"They don’t need my help at home. I’ll only make things worse..."

Song Mianmian nodded, "That’s true. They probably don’t need your help. Okay, let’s go to my house tonight! We’ll go out and have fun tomorrow."

Li Sheng’s eyes brightened, "Okay."

"Then let’s go!"

Song Mianmian said while pulling Li Sheng towards her car. Just as they were about to get in, someone grabbed Li Sheng’s hand from behind.

She turned and saw Li Xu’s gloomy face.

"You..."

"Where do you think you’re going?"

Li Sheng bit her lip, "I’m going to Mianmian’s house tonight. I’m not going back."

Li Xu’s face turned a few shades colder, his voice tinged with a chilling frost.

"Li Sheng, are you throwing a tantrum again?"

Li Sheng’s eyes widened, her cheeks flushing red.

Childish! Childish!

Why does everyone treat her like a child?

Tantrum?

When has she ever thrown a tantrum?

Li Sheng bit her lip, the anger within her shattering the sadness in her eyes.

"Tantrum? Can’t I even choose where I want to go now?"

Li Xu’s face was cold and expressionless.

He looked at the girl silently for a moment, then threw her hand aside, saying coldly:

"Do as you please."

A loud "bam" followed as a car door slammed shut, and the vehicle sped away.

Li Sheng’s eyes reddened again. She bit her teeth, forcing back the tears.

Song Mianmian looked at her worriedly, "Shengsheng..."

Li Sheng shook her head, lightly tugging at the corners of her mouth, "I’m fine. It’s not the first time I’ve fought with my brother, and it’s not the first time he’s been mean to me. I’m used to it. Let’s go!"

Song Mianmian nodded, and the two of them got into the car!
