Chapter 382: Chapter 382
Ling Momo pouted, turned her head, and out of sheer boredom, thought of Enson. So, she took out her phone from the handbag she was carrying and sent Enson a WeChat message, "Are you there?"
No sooner had Ling Momo successfully sent the message than she heard a ticking sound from the pocket of the man next to her.
However, Li Qingshen seemed not to have heard it, still maintaining a silent and motionless posture. Ling Momo thought it might be because the banquet was too noisy and couldn’t help but remind him, "Sir, it seems like your phone is ringing."
Li Qingshen hadn’t expected Ling Momo to initiate conversation with him again. He turned his head and looked straight at Ling Momo’s face, a bright light shimmering in his eyes.
Li Qingshen nodded but did not reach for his phone. Instead, he kept staring at Ling Momo. Was her talking to him a sign that she was no longer angry?
Li Qingshen’s originally sullen mood instantly became somewhat excited.
Ling Momo found Li Qingshen’s gaze truly bizarre, and his continuous focus on her was making her somewhat perplexed and the atmosphere rather awkward. Her eyes drifted away for a moment before she deflected the topic yet again by moving her lips and repeating what she had just said, "I heard your phone ring."
Only then did Li Qingshen lift his left hand, slightly turned his body, and took out his phone from his pocket.
Ling Momo kept watching him, unable to help herself from inwardly sighing about how he could make such a simple action of taking out his phone look so graceful!
Li Qingshen’s slender fingers held the phone, unlocked it with practiced ease, and saw a WeChat message from Momo Fairy. He subconsciously covered it with his hand, then looked up at Ling Momo again before looking down, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately silenced his phone and slid it back into his pocket.
Sitting aside, Ling Momo waited awhile but didn’t receive a WeChat message from Enson, feeling increasingly bored. So, she tapped on a few mobile games, playing as if to pass the time. Content originally comes from novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Li Qingshen sat nearby, silently tilting his head, watching the attentive girl playing with her phone. Her profile was as delicate as a flower, her bright eyes fixed on the screen, showing a hint of contemplation now and then. Occasionally, she would lift a finger to her lips and gently bite it.
Li Qingshen couldn’t help but stare somewhat dumbfounded...
In that instant, time stood still. Even the singing and dancing around them could not disturb the tranquility here.
The aloof and proud man and playful, adorable girl made the most beautiful, overlooked scenery at the banquet.
Yet, the tranquility only lasted a quarter of an hour when a sharp-eyed person found Ling Momo and Li Qingshen hiding in a corner, carrying a wine glass to come over and greet them.
"Li sir is also here, what a fortunate encounter, to have taught such an outstanding student!" The person complimented politely, "Let me toast to both of you."
Ling Momo looked up from her game, smiled sweetly, and extended her hand, accepting the wine glass.
But Li Qingshen had already downed his own glass and, seizing the moment, took the glass Ling Momo had just lifted to her lips, drank it down without a word, and said in an even tone, "I’m sorry, my student isn’t much of a drinker, so I drank her share for her."
"Early update today!"
