Chapter 1117: 1116 You doubt me?

Yiyi smiled and opened the box, which contained a bracelet.

“Yiyi, try it on, see if it looks good.”

When Li En saw her open the box, a brilliant smile brightened his face, and he urged her to try it on.

Yiyi closed the box and changed the topic, “Elder Brother Li, was your business trip smooth?”

“Yes, it went very smoothly.” Li En’s eyes sparkled as he looked at her. He hadn’t seen Yiyi for a while, and upon seeing her, he realized his feelings for her had deepened.

“My mom mentioned that your loan was approved, did you go through Li Yunchang again?”

Yiyi set the box aside, held her drink, looked down, took a sip through the straw, and casually asked.

“Yes, there was some misunderstanding before, but after I explained, he quickly approved it.” Li En’s eyes flickered before he asked, “Did you call me for anything special yesterday?”

“It wasn’t anything urgent, but Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran’s daughter was kidnapped, you were in City B on business, surely you didn’t know.”

“Oh, I didn’t know.” Surprise flickered across Li En’s face, followed by a light shake of his head.

“They say the kidnappers took Momo to City B, the police have already found out, and she will be rescued today. You were in City B, didn’t you hear anything about this?”

Yiyi took a few more sips of her drink, sat up straight, and gazed at Li En with bright, curious eyes.

It was pure curiosity, nothing more.

Li En still shook his head, calmly saying, “I rushed back today after receiving your call yesterday, in case it was an emergency.”

That meant he had no idea about it.

“These kidnappers are inhumane, Momo is so small, and they just took her away; once the police catch them, Mo Xiuchen definitely won’t let them off,” Yiyi spoke angrily.

“Yiyi, that’s for the police to handle, you shouldn’t get involved.” Li En took the menu from the waiter, ordered some of Yiyi’s favorite dishes, and the waiter left with a smile.

“After dinner, I’ll go with you to see Tongtong, it’s been days since I last saw her, I really miss her,” Li En said with a smile.

Yiyi nodded, “Originally, I wanted to bring Tongtong along, but considering that Momo was taken from the hospital, what if something happened to Tongtong while we were out?”

“Tongtong is different, you don’t have to worry.”

“How is it different, Tongtong is older than Momo, easier to look after, she could be a target too.”

“The people who stole Mo Xiuchen’s daughter must have a grudge against them, you haven’t made any enemies, so nobody would harm Tongtong.”

Li En looked at Yiyi with amusement, her frightened demeanor made him instinctively want to protect her.

“Elder Brother Li, you talk as if you know the kidnappers,” Yiyi chided with a smile, then took her drink and finished the rest.

Li En lowered his gaze, then looked up directly at Yiyi, “Yiyi, you’re not suspecting that I took Mo Xiuchen’s and Wen Ran’s daughter, are you?”

“Elder Brother Li, why would you say that?”

Yiyi frowned at Li En, visibly upset by his words.

Li En pressed his lips together and pointed out calmly, “Yiyi, it was odd that you phoned me yesterday, you never contact me first. I was happy to hear from you, afraid that you might be in trouble, I rushed back today. And then you indirectly brought up Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran’s daughter.”

Yiyi’s face flashed with anger, “Elder Brother Li, I was just talking to you about it, and you think I’m suspecting you, could it be that you really did it?”

“Yiyi, the person I hate is Gu Kai, not Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran.”

Li En’s face also darkened as he frankly told her that the one he was targeting was Gu Kai, not Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran.

“Elder Brother Li, since just a few words from me make you think I am suspecting you, there’s no need for this meal. You eat by yourself, I’m going home.”

After saying that, Bai Yiyi stood up and left.

Li En apparently didn’t expect Bai Yiyi to get angry and leave. His expression changed, and he hurriedly caught up with her in two steps, grasping her wrist and apologizing in a low voice, “Yiyi, I’m sorry, I might have been under too much pressure at work recently. It was my fault just now.”

“You did nothing wrong.”

Bai Yiyi, without looking at him, told him in a cold, resolute voice that she was very angry.

“Yiyi, considering I rushed back from City B for you, you can’t just refuse to have a meal with me, right? I didn’t even have lunch.”

Li En hesitated for a moment and continued in a subdued voice.

Bai Yiyi looked at his pitiful appearance, rolled her eyes, and sat back down at the table.

However, throughout the meal, she didn’t say a word. Li En tried to initiate conversation, but she showed no interest and responded only with noncommittal “hmm” and “oh.”

After finishing the meal and coming out, they reached her car, and he took the initiative, “Yiyi, give me the car keys. I’ll drive. It’s not safe for you to drive while you are angry.”

Just then, Bai Yiyi’s phone rang. She threw the car keys to him and took out her phone to answer the call.

Once on the road, seeing that Bai Yiyi was still silent, Li En hesitated and then asked softly, “Yiyi, are you worried about Wen Ran’s daughter?”

Bai Yiyi turned her head, her gaze faint as she looked at him, “I’ve stopped talking about it, why bring it up again?”

Li En choked on her words, awkwardly twitching his lips, “Yiyi, I’ve apologized already. Are you planning to be angry with me for a lifetime or ignore me forever?”

“I’m afraid if I speak to you again, you’ll say I suspect you.” Bai Yiyi glared coldly at him, then turned her head to the window, “The person who stole Momo has admitted to her identity, a woman named Cheng Jia, so you don’t need to worry about me suspecting you anymore.”

“She admitted to her identity?”

Li En looked at Bai Yiyi in surprise, cursing in his mind that Cheng Jia was a useless mud that couldn’t stick to the wall.

Bai Yiyi observed Li En through the mirror, “Is it strange?”

“Oh, no.” Li En forced a smile, and seeing Bai Yiyi turn her head towards him, he steadied himself and focused on the road ahead.

**

After work, Wen Jin went to the hospital to see Wen Ran.

Listening to Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen, she heard about the phone call Wen Ran received and the courier incident.

“Mo Xiuchen, you might as well agree to Cheng Jia’s demands to draw her out first,” Wen Jin suggested. “I am worried about Ranran. If this continues, even if Momo is fine, Ranran could still be in danger.”

In the room next to Wen Ran’s hospital room.

Wen Jin and Gu Kai sat on the couch while Mo Xiuchen stood in front of the window, his aura heavy with melancholy.

Hearing her words, Mo Xiuchen’s spine stiffened noticeably, but he didn’t turn around. His voice came heavily, “I will not divorce Ranran.”

He was also afraid.

His fears were far greater than what Gu Kai and Wen Jin could imagine.
