The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 870 - 885: She Thought She Would Pick a Fight Again

After so many years without catching up, Feng Yi hardly recognized him, but Ling Haichen recognized Feng Yi at a glance.

On the sofa next to them, Li Manman and Ling Haichen’s girlfriend Mu Yan were deep in conversation, both of them particularly fond of shopping and collecting jewelry. Suddenly, Li Manman felt a sense of having met a long-lost friend.

The four of them chatted late into the night in the private room before heading home. As they were leaving, Mu Yan asked Li Manman for her phone number and WeChat, suggesting they meet up sometime.

Because Feng Yi had been drinking, Li Manman didn’t let him drive. She took the car keys from Feng Yi’s hand and got into the driver’s seat.

Ling Haichen stood at the entrance of the restaurant with his hand in his pocket, gazing complicatedly in the direction their car was heading, flicking the ash from his cigarette, the crimson spark blown away by the wind.

Mu Yan stood beside him without speaking, only following Ling Haichen into the car after he stubbed out his cigarette and strode towards the vehicle.

Back home, Li Manman took a shower in the bathroom and changed into loungewear before heading to the kitchen.

She brought a cup of honey water to Feng Yi in the bedroom: "Have some honey water before sleeping."

Feng Yi, half-asleep, sat up on the bed, took the cup from Li Manman’s hand, and drank it all in one go: "Honey, I’m really happy today. After all these years, I can’t believe we met again; he used to be my best brother back in the orphanage."

"I know, it’s already late, so hurry and sleep."

"Stay with me," Feng Yi said, pulling Li Manman into his arms.

"Wait... I haven’t put the cup down. Feng Yi, you smell of alcohol, go take a shower first."

"I don’t want to."

When Li Manman woke up, it was already around ten in the morning. She rubbed her sore and soft body, got up from the bed, yawned, and lay back down.

She reached under the pillow to find her phone, just as an unfamiliar number called after she opened Chu Ci’s WeChat hoping to start a video call.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" Li Manman started politely.

"Manman, it’s me, Mu Yan."

"Sorry Mu Yan, I forgot to save your number yesterday. I’ll do it soon."

Mu Yan was sitting at her dressing table applying makeup, her phone on the table on speaker. She smoothly applied lipstick to her lips, smiling: "No worries, how about we go shopping later?"

Li Manman didn’t have anything planned, so she agreed readily: "Sure, let’s meet at the mall later."

After ending the call, Li Manman got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Afterward, she chose a dress from the wardrobe, applied some makeup, grabbed her car keys, and headed out.

Half an hour later, Li Manman’s car stopped at the mall entrance, and as she got out, she heard someone calling her name from behind: "Manman, wait for me."

Li Manman turned around, smiling as she linked arms with Mu Yan: "Let’s grab lunch after shopping."

"Sure, let’s stroll around first."

The two entered the mall together, spending quite some time in a women’s clothing store and leaving with their arms full.

"I’m so hungry, let’s find a nearby place to eat."

Having skipped breakfast, Li Manman’s hunger was becoming unbearable.

After stepping out of the elevator, they hadn’t walked far before Li Manman saw Yu Shiyuan approaching, expecting her to start trouble again. To her surprise, Yu Shiyuan stayed calm, saying nothing, and looked at her with a pleading expression.
