Chapter 372: Chapter 372

Li Si took the documents, puzzled, but her smile quickly froze. The papers stated that everything under Mo Si’s name was being transferred to her, and Leng Mochen was also giving her all of his personal stocks, funds, properties, and savings.

Li Si slammed the documents onto the desk in agitation and shouted, "What are you doing?"

Why the sudden action? All she wanted was a birthday gift—why give her this? Did he know something she didn’t? It felt like he was making plans for the end.

She was utterly terrified!

Leng Mochen calmly pulled her into his embrace, soothing her, "Sisi, I’m doing this to hand over the financial authority of our family to you! When couples form a family, isn’t it usually the woman who handles the money?"

Li Si shook her head. "No! There’s something you’re not telling me! I don’t want this—you know I don’t understand these things!"

It had never crossed her mind to seize control of everything when they were together. She only wanted him—the man who was both Lu Zhenghang and Leng Mochen at the core!

"Little girl! Let me be honest with you: there are two reasons why I’m doing this. First, as I mentioned, you should manage our family’s finances—that way, I can’t go out and squander it on indulgences!" Leng Mochen teased her on purpose.

"Nonsense!" Li Si poked his chest hard. He wasn’t that type of person, but it felt like he was trying to distract her.

Leng Mochen caught her small hand and brought it to his lips, his dark eyes glittering. "Little girl, don’t get so worked up yet. Listen to me explain. The second reason I’m giving you everything is because I don’t know when I might fall into a deep sleep... and he might emerge in my place.

This is something beyond my control, so I need to prepare in advance to ensure that, even in the worst-case scenario, you and the child will still have a good life."

He had thought it through—if he were to sleep for a long time, there would be no way for him to help Li Si if anything happened to her. All he could do was deal with as many uncertainties as possible beforehand.

If the "other him" were to occupy the body, then even if Li Si had to distance herself from him, she would at least have resources to rely on, no matter where she went.

Besides, Leng Mohao had yet to be caught and was still hiding his tracks. If the "other him" were careless, he could easily fall into Leng Mohao’s trap.

And most importantly, he had no idea what sort of unpredictable changes might occur with the Life and Death Tribulation that Mrs. Leng had mentioned.

"It won’t come to that! These material things mean nothing—whether we have them or not doesn’t matter! I can try my luck with betting stones, make money, do anything... In any case, you’ll be fine!" Li Si stammered incoherently, but she could sense the way he was arranging things for the future.

"Don’t get so emotional! Little girl, let me finish speaking! Some things have to be resolved before they happen. What I’m doing will only benefit you, not harm you! Put the contents of the safe into your space—I can feel it. He might soon win against my soul and emerge."

Li Si asked anxiously, "Is the bracelet no longer effective?" She stared at the bracelet on her wrist in a daze. Did this mean they had to find Master Liao Kong?

Leng Mochen shook his head. "I thought it would work at first, but later I guessed it might be that his soul power is too weak, which is why he has been dormant all this time. However, just a few days ago, there were ripples again. I managed to suppress him for now, but I can’t guarantee who will win next time, or who will come out on top!"

He didn’t want it to be , but this mystical matter was truly something beyond his grasp.

"You see this, don’t you? Mochen’s mother brought it back after visiting Wutai Mountain to request help from Master Liao Kong. She said he’s incredibly skilled—should we go there if it might offer a solution?" Li Si shook her wrist, and the few dark red beads shimmered under the light.

Leng Mochen shook his head. "You’re still pregnant; we’ll talk about it later. Little girl, remember my words—no matter what happens, you must take care of yourself and the child. Do it for me!

Even if he gains the upper hand, I will wake up one day, and we’ll be together forever! Listen to me—store these items in your space and keep them safe!" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI~Fire.net

Mrs. Leng had told him that Master Liao Kong said the outcome of the Life and Death Tribulation depended entirely on Li Si.

The remark was baffling, and Mrs. Leng had pondered it for a long time without figuring it out. However, she repeatedly reminded him to be extra cautious and never take things lightly.

Leng Mochen immediately thought that the Life and Death Tribulation might refer to the struggle between him and the original Leng Mochen.

Li Si frowned deeply. She could see his determination. To ease his anxiety, she silently followed his instructions and stored everything into her space.

Leng Mochen pulled her back to the bedroom, full of hidden worries, and tried to tease her, "Stop frowning, little girl. I’ve realized you’re truly different from other women!"

Li Si glared at him. "Different how? And why does that sound so wrong? Other women? Who?"

"Think about it. Any other woman would be overjoyed if her husband handed over everything and left no secret stash. But you, instead, are dissatisfied!" Leng Mochen stroked her long hair, inhaling its faint, elegant fragrance. How could he bear to let go?

His heart ached dully, though he maintained an air of calm on the surface.

Some things didn’t need to be said outright—why burden her with unnecessary fear?

Li Si held his waist and protested coquettishly, "Stop twisting my words, okay? When everything is over, you’ll see how much pocket money I’ll leave for you!" How could this be the same thing?

"How much?" He raised an eyebrow, his dark eyes deep enough to swallow her whole.

Li Si cheekily stared at the ceiling and pretended to contemplate, "Hmm, let me tally it up for you—a home-cooked breakfast, lunch at the company cafeteria, and dinner cooked by me when you’re back! There’s a company car for outings. I’ll cover your phone bill!

Oh wow! Given all this, what pocket money would you even need?"

Who said looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle would stop your tears from falling? Her nose was sore.

Leng Mochen hugged her tightly, avoiding her belly, his arms exerting just the right amount of pressure to prevent her from seeing the fleeting expression of sorrow in his eyes. "Then I’ll listen to you!"

How much he wanted to live the kind of life she talked about every day, yet he didn’t know how much time they had.

In his previous life, when he died, aside from resentment, there was even a trace of relief.

But these few years of being reborn into Leng Mochen’s body and being with Li Si had made him increasingly happy and fulfilled.

Now, though, even this happiness might slip away at any moment—and he couldn’t accept it. He was unwilling, but there were things he couldn’t control.

Everything would depend on fate.

Li Si bit her lip hard and, masking her pain with a playful tone, said, "That’s a good boy!" Her heart was heavy; his restraint and silence didn’t escape her notice.

When had he started speaking in this tone? And how long had it been since he last called her "little girl"?

Thinking back to when they first met, his casual "little girl" had struck a chord deep in her heart.

Silently, she promised him: No matter what happens, I will protect you—and our child. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
