3344 Strange Antiques

Although Tao Yixiao may sometimes act a bit affected, she didn’t have any bad habits. She was pretty and had a good figure. All in all, she was a good choice.

At first, Tao Zheng hoped that his younger sister could be paired with Li Mochen, but he never directly expressed it because even if he hoped for it, they both had to be interested in each other.

Tao Yixiao liked Li Mochen, but Li Mochen had no interest in her, so Tao Zheng gave up on the idea and told Tao Yixiao not to have any illusions about Li Mochen.

Nevertheless, Tao Zheng couldn’t control Tao Yixiao’s thoughts. As long as she didn’t cause trouble for Li Mochen, he didn’t want to interfere, but if she did cause trouble for Li Mochen, he wouldn’t allow it to continue.

It wasn’t that he didn’t care about his sister, but he didn’t want her to do things that would cause trouble for others just because of her own desires.

“Why would he become distant? Is it wrong for Yixiao to like him? And what’s wrong with our Yixiao for Li Mochen not to like her?” Mrs. Tao protested.

“It’s not wrong to like someone, but you can’t force others to accept you just because you like them! By your logic, what’s wrong with Zhang Junrui? Why doesn’t Tao Yixiao like him? Is it only allowed for Tao Yixiao to not like others, but not for others to not like Tao Yixiao? What kind of reasoning is that? You have to have some self-awareness.” Tao Zheng retorted, then ignored them, going straight back to his room.

Zhang Junrui was Tao Yixiao’s pursuer. He really liked her. He was good-looking, from a good family, and a good person, but Tao Yixiao just didn’t like him.

That was fine. When it came to love, if you didn’t like someone, you merely had no interest in him, but Mrs. Tao and Tao Yixiao had double standards.

Tao Yixiao didn’t like Zhang Junrui because she felt that his pursuit was causing trouble for her, so she hated him, but when it came to herself, she blamed others for not liking her.

It was ridiculous.

“You…” Mrs. Tao was angry, but she had to agree that what Tao Zheng said was right. She didn’t know how to argue with him.

“Mom, what should I do? Even my brother won’t help me…” Tao Yixiao immediately cried to Mrs. Tao.

“How would I know what to do!” Mrs. Tao was also very annoyed. If she knew what to do, she wouldn’t ask Tao Zheng so many questions.

…

In Hanlin Manor.

After staying in the bathroom for a while to calm down, Leng Xiaoyao finally came out.

Soon after, Li Mochen brought the dishes to the table.

“The meal is ready,” Li Mochen shouted. Leng Xiaoyao walked towards the table slowly, not daring to look at Li Mochen.

Li Mochen didn’t dare to stare at Leng Xiaoyao either. He looked calm on the surface, but he was actually full of panic.

“Don’t just eat rice. Have some meat and vegetables,” Li Mochen said as he picked up some vegetables for her.

“I thought you were brave. You used to make fun of me all the time, but now you’re so shy.” Li Mochen teased.

“I’m not shy!” Leng Xiaoyao replied, looking up at him and blushing uncontrollably.

However, once she met Li Mochen’s eyes, she flushed and her heart beat faster.

She had never lost control of herself like this before.

If she wasn’t attracted to Li Mochen, she wouldn’t feel anything no matter how sweet Li Mochen’s words were, but now that she fell in love with him, she couldn’t control her emotions.

After a few seconds, she looked away and said with displeasure. “Let’s focus on the meal.”

“Okay, let’s eat. Have more vegetables,” Li Mochen said with a faint smile as he served some vegetables to Leng Xiaoyao.

“I’ll serve myself,” Leng Xiaoyao said awkwardly.

After finishing their meal in a nervous atmosphere, Li Mochen took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Leng Xiaoyao gave him the opportunity to do so.

After finishing the dishes, Li Mochen became nervous.

Right when he was about to say something to ease the tension, his phone rang. It was Mu Yiyang.

Once Li Mochen heard what Mu Yiyang said, his expression became serious.

“Okay, I’ll be there right away,” he said before hanging up the phone. After that, he said to Leng Xiaoyao, “Xiaoyao, I need to leave to deal with something.”

“I’ll go with you,” Leng Xiaoyao immediately said. She had heard Mu Yiyang’s words on the phone.

A construction site in the western suburbs had a strange tomb that appeared to be attracting people into it. Two workers were already sucked in.

It was surprising that they were sucked into it.

Li Mochen and Leng Xiaoyao suspected that there was an evil force causing trouble.

“Okay.” Li Mochen didn’t refuse. The two of them hurried over.

Naturally, such an incident caused panic, so the workers who witnessed everything were temporarily left at the construction site.

However, there weren’t many people at the construction site when this happened, only about ten. Therefore, it was still under control and the news hadn’t been spread yet.

Mu Yiyang knew about this accident because it was his friend’s construction site. After the accident, his friend called him for help.

The first person Mu Yiyang thought of was Li Mochen.

The western suburbs were a bit far away, so by the time the two arrived at the construction site, it was an hour later.

The scene had already been controlled, with police guarding it. Even archaeological experts had come, but when they wanted to investigate, a person who was close to the cave was sucked in. So now they were too scared to approach and didn’t know what to do.

After Li Mochen and Leng Xiaoyao arrived, they were stopped too. However, after Mu Yiyang’s friend came, they were allowed to enter.

Mu Yiyang’s friend was named Xu Ziji, and Li Mochen also knew him, but not very well.

Although Xu Ziji didn’t know why Mu Yiyang insisted that Li Mochen could handle it, he knew that Li Mochen was a powerful figure who had helped Mu Yiyang a lot. Accordingly, even if he didn’t believe in Li Mochen, he would believe in Mu Yiyang.

“Brother Mochen, that ancient tomb is really strange. As soon as you get to the edge of the cave, you’ll be sucked in. Three people have been sucked in now. We don’t know if they’re alive or dead!” Xu Ziji looked worried. If those people had an accident, he would certainly compensate them, but he didn’t want anyone to be hurt.

It wasn’t just that he was afraid of affecting the construction site. If someone died, their families would be very sad!

As soon as Li Mochen and Leng Xiaoyao entered the construction site, they both felt an evil power. It was very strong. Because they had already guessed it, they weren’t surprised when they felt it. However, their expressions became more serious.
