ollowed him to the tea room."Dinner tonight, are you inviting Li Bochen" Du Ming's expression wasn't good, his tone laced with a hint of blame. "I have no appetite when I see him."Zhang Xiao looked ar...After explaining everything, Li Bochen immediately drove back to the Li family's ancestral home.

Elder Li lay weakly in bed. Beside him, Mu Xi Yin was holding a bowl of medicinal soup and carefully blowing it to cool down.

Li Boche just stepped into the room and saw this scene, he couldn't help but lock his brows, "Dad, what on earth is going on How did you suddenly faint"

"Getting old, not as sharp as I used to be. My head was spinning a bit while I was looking through files today. Must be from lack of sleep these past few days."

Mr. Li let out a long sigh, "Fortunately, Yin Yin arrived in time and used first aid to help me recover. Otherwise, you kid might not have seen me again."

"Mr. Li, you're just not well-rested and dizzy, it's not that serious."

Mu Xiyin's voice was as gentle as ever. She stood up and brought the now-cooled Chinese medicine to Li Botong's face.

"Since Young Master Si has returned, I'll head back to the hotel first. Let this medicine cool a bit more, then it will be ready for Grandfather."

Li Bochen did not take the medicine bowl, his gaze passing through Mu Xiyin to look at the old man.

"Dad, I'd still like to have Gu Ye come over so you can take a look. Don't delay your treatment."

Elder Li's weak eyes were filled with deep meaning, "I'm much better now. It's late at night, so don't let Little Gu run back and forth. Yin Yin, stay here tonight too. You two come over and chat with me."

Li Bochen hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and sat down beside his grandfather's bed.

Mu Xi Yin naturally wouldn't really leave. She obediently put down the medicine bowl and sat beside him.

"I've heard about what happened at the jewelry exhibition today. Yinyin is truly multi-talented; I didn't expect her to be so good at jewelry design."

This compliment made Mu Xi's ears turn slightly red. She shyly glanced at Li Bochen, "Uncle Li, you flatter me. I was able to win that competition, but it was thanks to Shao Si's help."

"Has this boy become so sentimental now" Elder Li's aged eyes swept over Li Boche, a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"Miss Mu has just arrived in the imperial capital. Although she isn't as skilled as others, for your sake, Father, I wouldn't stand by and watch her embarrass herself in front of so many people."

Li Bochen leaned nonchalantly against the sofa, his long legs crossed, looking effortlessly stylish.

Mu Xiyin's lips twitched, and she smiled awkwardly, "That designer is highly skilled. I admit my skills are inferior to hers, but it's okay. I will continue to improve in the future."

When she mentioned the three words "designer," she deliberately looked at Li Boche, and sure enough, she saw a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

Thinking of what Lu Ningxi had said today, Mu Xiyin couldn't help but clench her palms. However, she didn't expect that Li Bochen's next sentence would hit her even harder.

"No matter how much you improve, you'll never reach her level. You might as well give up now."

Li Bochen didn't even give Mu Xiyin a spare glance. He wasn't blind to the provocation that woman had directed at the little rabbit today.

I was just angry seeing Luoningxi and Yuchengnan together, so I went along with her wishes.

Since there was no one else around, there was no need to put on a good face for her.

"Lao Si! How can you speak like that!"

Old Master Li roared, "Miss YinYin is a proper and well-respected young lady of the Mu family, not some common girl who specializes in messing around with these jewels. This is already quite good."

Li Bochen's face darkened immediately, "Since you are not specializing in jewelry design, why agree to a public design competition Don't you know your own limitations"

"Fourth Brother!"

Seeing that Old Master Li was clearly getting angry, Li Bocen calmly got up and adjusted the cufflinks on his chest. "Dad, if you don't have anything else, I'll go back first. Gu Ye will come over tomorrow morning to take care of you, so you should get some rest."

Li Boche finished speaking and was about to leave. Just as he reached the villa door and prepared to get into the car, Mu Xiyin chased him out.

"Young Master Si, please wait a moment." Mu Xi Yin stepped forward to block the car door, "I have some things I want to ask you."

Li Bochen's eyes darkened, and he was a little impatient, "What is it"

Mu Xi's voice was low as she asked, "Does the old master know about your marriage to Miss Luo"

Li Bochen was taken aback. "She told you"

Is this showing that she's eating Mu Xiyin's vinegar

Mu Xiyin nodded slightly, and then she actually found that Li Boche not only wasn't angry, but the corners of his lips were even slightly raised, as if he was in a good mood

"Fourth Young Master, you also know the old master's temper. He hasn't been feeling well lately, I think you should be more restrained..."

Li Bochen's lazy gaze swept over Mu Xiyin, interrupting her words, "My business with my wife is none of your concern. As for the old man... say what you like."

After finishing, he directly sat into the car, pressed the gas pedal and disappeared into the night.

Mu Xiyin was chilled by the cold wind and shivered. A hint of unwillingness flashed in her gentle eyes., her warm eyes gazing at him quietly, carrying a hint of inexplicable emotion.She paused for a moment, then continued, "However, the Li family has done my Mu family a favor. I can't go against my fat...
