Chapter 2241: Taking a Liking to Li Jianyue
It was all too evident.
Li Mosen harbored an intense hatred for Quan Jingyi.
Quan Jingyi looked at him with interest and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Aren’t you getting into the car?” he asked, raising his chin.
Inside the car, Li Jianyue heard him, too. She looked at Li Mosen and patted the seat beside her. “Brother Mosen, come in.”
Li Mosen turned away from Quan Jianyi. The icy warning that was noticeable in his body language soon disappeared.
It was as though nothing had happened.
Quan Jingyi watched as the car door closed. Just as the car disappeared from sight as it turned the corner, a frightening thought occurred to him.
When Qin Xizhao had first bumped into them at the amusement park, she had been unable to put Li Mosen out of her mind. She persisted by asking around and managed to find out a lot of details.
The well-connected Qin Xizhao had many sources of information. In general, most of the news she received was accurate.
Quan Jingyi recalled Qin Xizhao recounting in passing a gossip that Li Mosen was not the Li family’s biological son.
It was clear that Li Mosen was very hostile towards him. But, his hostility appeared to be more than an older brother being overly protective after discovering a boy had taken a liking to his younger sister.
Instead…
It was more like a man giving a warning to his rival in love.
Quan Jingyi had to admit that for a split second. Indeed, he had been intimidated by Li Mosen.
But, Quan Jingyi was not the type to give up so quickly because of something like this.
Quan Jingyi enjoyed the breeze as he rode his bicycle. It was rare for his mood to be this good.
It seemed like a long time since he last faced a challenge.
Indeed, if he began dating Li Jianyue, what would Li Mosen’s reaction be?
He was eager to find out.

The car headed towards the Yuxiu Villa Estate. It was a short distance away and took only ten minutes to reach.
Li Jianyue found the roads very unpleasant. As she watched the middle-aged and older people milling about along the streets, she felt very unsettled.
She lay on Li Mosen’s lap and whined. “When will our bicycle be repaired?”
Li Mosen’s expression in his eyes softened as he looked at the girl on his lap. He gently brushed away strands of hair from her forehead. “Soon. I’ll get Uncle Yang to repair it. It’s possible to get it done by today,” he said warmly.
Li Jianyue pouted and looked down as she fiddled with her fingers. With a harrumph, she asked, “But what if it can’t be fixed?”
“If it can’t be repaired, we’ll ask Uncle Yang to buy us another bicycle.” Li Mosen gently twiddled his fingers in her hair. “Why don’t we swap it for an electric scooter instead?” he added suddenly.
Li Jianyue’s eyes lit up. “Can we?” she asked, “I want to ride on an electric scooter! It’ll be faster and less tiring!”
“Yeah. Or perhaps we might be able to exchange it for a motorcycle.” Li Mosen looked at her face that resembled Su Qianci’s. He reached out and tapping her eyelid.
Li Jianyue blinked instinctively. Her thick curly eyelashes brushed against his finger, giving her a lingering itch.
Li Mosen’s heart soared. As he gazed at Li Jianyue, his eyes moved from her eyes to her nose and finally her lips.
It was full and rosy. Smooth and dainty. Indeed, it was a sight to behold.
Li Jianyue blinked her eyes and looked at Li Mosen. “A motorcycle is fine, too. But do you know how to operate one?” she asked.
“I do.”
“Let’s change it to a motorcycle, then.” Li Jianyue giggled as she lay on Li Mosen’s lap. “Motorcycles are even faster, and they look so cool!”
“We’ll ask Dad and Mom about it when we get home. If they allow it, we’ll make the change.”
Li Jianyue pulled a long face. “How annoying! Without a doubt, Dad and Mom would say it’s too dangerous!”
“I just won the first prize in the provincial physics competition,” Li Mosen said, tapping her nose. “They’ll say yes.”
