Li Mochuan was also quite helpless.

"We can't find out. The child's mother is unwilling to let the police take a statement, and a four or five-year-old child's words have no legal effect."

"As for the rest, the surveillance footage from the yacht club parking lot and the hillside villa shows that Pei Fengzhi did indeed take the child back on his own initiative, and he has no way to deny it."

Ye Ningwan barely listened to Li Mochuan's words before she couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted him.

"Michael Jackson, the famous American singer, was wrongly accused of sexual assault after he took in a little boy and brought him back to his villa. This incident caused a huge uproar, and even after he was exonerated, he still carried this stigma until his death!"

"The current Pei Fengzhi is just like Michael Jackson back then!"

Li Mochuan comforted her.

"This matter has been suppressed for the time being and has not been spread. Moreover, the current scandal involving Ye Ruoxin and you has attracted everyone's attention."

"Don't worry, Pei Fengzhi will be released soon, but it will take some time."

As Li Mochuan spoke, he gently patted Ye Ningwan's shoulder, but his hand remained on her shoulder and did not leave.

He looked at Ye Ningwan, who was as angry as a kitten, and saw how angry and concerned she was because of a man. A strange emotion inexplicably rose in his heart.

He wants that kind of attention, that kind of unconditional trust, that kind of dependence too!

No one has ever paid attention to me like this, trusted me like this, or cared about me like this before.

He gazed intently at Ye Ningwan's beautiful, radiant face, his heart pounding unconsciously.

He slowly approached Ye Ningwan, his forehead almost touching hers.

Ye Ningwan frowned, and subconsciously turned her head back to avoid Li Mochuan's head brushing against hers.

What are you doing!

Seeing Ye Ningwan's nervous expression, Li Mochuan couldn't help but chuckle. He placed one hand on Ye Ningwan's foot, which was propped up on the chair, and gently caressed her ankle with his calloused fingertips. His hand slowly moved upwards, stroking her ankle... calf... knee... and then upwards again...

Li Mochuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Ye Ningwan, as if he were staring at his prey.

“Ye Ningwan, Pei Fengzhi is too boring. He doesn’t know how to coax women or please people. No woman who is with him has ever been able to endure it for more than a year. What’s more, he still has someone else in his heart. It would be too unfair for you to be with a man like that.”

Li Mochuan's voice was magnetic and seductive, growing lower and lower, his thin lips getting closer and closer to Ye Ningwan's ear.

"How about..."

"Try coming with me. I can give you everything Pei Fengzhi can give you, but he can't..."

Li Mochuan paused for a moment.

However, the next second, Ye Ningwan raised her other foot and kicked Li Mochuan hard between his legs with her high heel.

But Li Mochuan seemed to have anticipated this, and he grabbed Ye Ningwan's ankle and chuckled softly.

“I take back what I said before. When you get angry, you’re actually quite cute, very different, and very charming.”

As Li Mochuan spoke, he leaned closer to Ye Ningwan, his gaze fixed on her full, red lips, making one wonder if he might kiss those lips that always spoke sharp words at any moment.

The atmosphere in the carriage instantly became ambiguous.

Ye Ningwan stopped struggling, lowered her eyes, and quietly looked at Li Mochuan, who was almost pressed against her.

She took a deep breath, her voice soft yet firm.

"Li Mochuan, you like me!"

Li Mochuan wasn't the type to hide anything, so he smiled and agreed.

"Yes, I really like it, so please consider me..."

Ye Ningwan stared into Li Mochuan's eyes and suddenly said.

"You and Pei Fengzhi are good brothers, right? So... you really have no bottom line."

"I'm starting to doubt whether you really want to help Pei Fengzhi."

Li Mochuan chuckled lightly, neither confirming nor denying.

"One thing at a time."

Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

"One thing at a time?"

Li Mochuan smiled, reached out, pinched Ye Ningwan's chin, and brushed his calloused fingertips across her lips, saying in a deep voice.

"I'm neither asking you to divorce, nor will I ruin your relationship with Pei Fengzhi. If you like him, you can continue to be Mrs. Pei... um..."

Before Li Mochuan could finish speaking, Ye Ningwan kicked him while he wasn't paying attention, and at the same time pressed the door open button.

Mr. Li, who was always treated with respect and deference wherever he went, was easily kicked out of the car by Ye Ningwan and rolled all the way to the sidewalk by the roadside.

Li Mochuan looked up and saw that Ye Ningwan had already sat back in the driver's seat, looking down at Li Mochuan on the sidewalk with a cold and proud smile.

"It's windy outside, Mr. Li, you should calm down. I'll be going now!"

After saying that, Ye Ningwan stepped on the gas and drove away.

The car door, which had been opening upwards, slowly closed downwards.

Li Mochuan turned his head and watched the red Aston Martin speed away.

Li Mochuan chuckled softly, touched the spot where Ye Ningwan had kicked him, hissed and gasped, and said in a low voice.

"He's really interesting, but he has a bad temper."

Suddenly, rain began to fall, soaking everyone completely.
