Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 90 - 87 Bai Shasha’s Engagement Party

Li Si turned right in the direction indicated and saw Bai Shasha standing at the entrance of the banquet hall. She was dressed in a white princess dress and matching 5-centimeter high shoes, with light makeup highlighting her smiling face. "You, always so elusive, finally decided to show up!" she greeted warmly.

"What are you talking about? If I didn’t come to your engagement, you wouldn’t let me off! Where’s your Cao Yufan?" Li Si looked around curiously.

"He’s already gone inside with a few friends. I’m here to welcome you, my honored guest!" Bai Shasha wrinkled her nose, eyeing Li Si.

Today, Li Si wore a pink off-the-shoulder mini dress with her shiny black hair pinned up high, revealing her slender neck. She only had her eyebrows done, pretty much coming bare-faced, her eyes clear and innocent like a child’s.

"I’m so flattered!" Li Si playfully patted her heart, pretending to wipe away nonexistent tears, "I’m moved to tears!"

"Oh, get in here! It’s all family; I’ll introduce you to everyone later!"

The two chatted as they entered the hall. The relatively small banquet hall held about five round tables.

A few people were seated at each table, looking like they were relatives and friends from both families, mostly engaged in conversations.

Bai Shasha led Li Si to a table near the stage. By then, two male classmates were already seated next to Cao Yufan, whom Li Si recognized as Dong Lei and Wang Kai.

Dong Lei was the first to notice them and cheerfully called out, "Li Si, you’re here! We were just talking about where our Bai Shasha’s best friend is!"

"What’s up? Am I needed for something? Or am I here to fix your computers again?" Li Si teased with a smile.

"She’s still holding onto that?" Dong Lei recalled the first time he met Li Si, unable to hold back a laugh. At the last barbecue, he had witnessed her fierceness firsthand.

"Just kidding, don’t mind me!" Li Si casually found a seat and sat with Bai Shasha as they all chatted.

"You guys came early! Yufan, Bai Shasha, congratulations! May you be together forever!" A voice preceded the arrival of the speaker, and even without turning around, Li Si knew it was Meng Zijun.

Li Si frowned with displeasure, a flash of coldness in her eyes.

"Li Si, long time no see!" Meng Zijun deliberately sat across from Li Si, gazing at her affectionately.

Li Si looked at his pretentious demeanor and resisted the urge to retch, giving him a roll of her eyes.

Did this guy really think he was a heartthrob, a love guru?

Bai Shasha, knowing how much Li Si disliked Meng Zijun, quickly pulled Li Si away, "Sorry, everyone, I’m going to touch up my makeup!"

In front of the wide mirror in the restroom, Bai Shasha was indeed applying makeup while Li Si, bored, washed her hands and shook off the droplets.

"Do you still dislike Meng Zijun so much?" Bai Shasha asked curiously, glancing at Li Si. It didn’t make sense; the two had no real intersection or grudge, so why did Li Si have such a strong opinion?

Li Si smiled self-deprecatingly; there was no such thing as should or shouldn’t! If Bai Shasha were reborn, she surely wouldn’t ask this question!

Today was Shasha’s special day, and Li Si didn’t want to spoil her mood. She hugged Shasha affectionately, "Queen Shasha, you’re painting your face into a flower. Are you pleasing Cao Yufan for tonight? Seeing you this stunning, will he want a bridal night sooner?"

"Oh, get lost! Who cares what he thinks! Anyway, it won’t work on me! By the way, this flower is taken; when will you and your wonderful brother tie the knot?" Bai Shasha was still a bit shy about the topic, even though she usually acted boldly without being ladylike, at heart she was quite traditional!

Funnily enough, her usually serious mother even reminded her last night that engagement was fine, but they should not get intimate before marriage. Whether to listen or not was awkward!

"What do you mean? We’re just like siblings, okay?" Li Si’s cheeks flushed a little, turning slightly red.

Bai Shasha mocked her, "Oh my, are you blushing? Did I guess right? Tell me, with our relationship, are you hiding something from me? How do you feel about him?"

Li Si lightly patted her cheeks with her freshly washed cool hands, trying to cool down, "What are you saying? Even if I have a little crush, he might not like me back!"

That was indeed the truth. Li Si always felt that while Leng Mochen cared deeply for her, he didn’t have romantic feelings, rather he doted on her like a little sister.

For instance, last time when she got sick and her clothes were wet, Leng Mochen changed her clothes without her knowing. From the situation, it seemed Brother Leng had no interest in her slender frame, otherwise, how could he have been so calm?

If it were anyone else, a man and a woman alone in the night, wouldn’t sparks fly?

Li Si despised her own thoughts for being lecherous, but Bai Shasha caught her changing expressions and laughed heartily, "Oh my gosh! See, I was right, wasn’t I? There’s something going on for sure! Spill the beans; confession is lenient, resistance is strict!"

"What nonsense! Do you want your engagement party to go smoothly or not? I’m telling you, be careful or I’ll walk out!" On Li Si’s face was a clear sign of embarrassed anger.

"Oh, come on! Okay, okay, not another word! Come on, Xiao Lizi, let’s go to the banquet hall!" Bai Shasha knew Li Si was a bit thin-skinned, and going too far would indeed be inappropriate. Besides, once today is over, Li Si won’t be able to escape. There’s plenty of time to dig for answers!

"Chop-chop!" Li Si gently supported her, mimicking a palace maid’s gesture. Their laughter echoed through the corridor for a long time.

At this moment, a young pregnant woman exited the women’s restroom. If Li Si and Bai Shasha hadn’t left, they would have recognized her as Yao Meiling, who had dropped out due to pregnancy.

Presently, Yao Meiling had lost her previous beauty, now chubby with a sallow complexion and heavy dark circles. Most notably, the exaggerated gold jewelry on her neck and wrists aged her by ten years instantly.

"You, Li Si, think you have the right to dislike my Brother Zijun? Just wait, I’ll make sure you pay!" She twisted her features, gritting her teeth and smiling sinisterly at the mirror.

In the newly decorated banquet hall, elegant and pleasant music played through high-end speakers, surrounded by friends and family from both sides, with smiles of blessing on everyone’s faces.

Li Si gazed at the radiant stage where Bai Shasha and Cao Yufan stood closely together, truly a perfect couple, a match made in heaven.

Both of their parents were colleagues and understood each other’s family situations well, so it’s likely Shasha wouldn’t face any significant mother-in-law issues — a pair truly made for each other!

Li Si silently blessed them in her heart. In this lifetime, they finally didn’t have to go through those trials and smoothly got together! (To be continued.
