Chapter 12

Mrs . Li's voice was cold . But there was no telling whether she was talking to Su Qianci or Mrs . Tang . Liu Sao nodded and went away to call Li Sicheng .

When Sicheng came out, he was wearing something casual . A gray V-neck cotton T-shirt and white pants that made him look tall and handsome . There seemed to be a galaxy in his eyes . He pursed his lips and walked up .

Seeing everyone was silent, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Mengying subconsciously, asking, "What happened?"

Old habits die hard . He never saw Su Qianci at first glance, but Tang Mengying . Su Qianci felt discouraged, but she soon got ahold of herself .

Tang Mengying looked upset and tried to speak . However, before she started, Mrs . Li waved at Li Sicheng and said, "Li Sicheng, come over to see this embroidery . What is it?"

Li Sicheng took back his glance and walked up, glancing at Su Qianci subconsciously . Seeing the face that was sullen and resentful, he thought she was pretty, although not as breathtaking as Tang Mengying . His eyes only lingered for a moment before they were focused on the collar .

"Tell mom, is this Arabic?"

He nodded and said, "Yes, it is Arabic . It means happiness . "

The ladies looked at each other, feeling sorry and compassionate about Su Qianci . However, the look they threw at Mrs . Tang and Tang Mengying was much more complex .

"What is it?" Li Sicheng still did not know what had happened . Seeing Su Qianci was brought to tears, he slightly frowned .

Su Qianci noticed his gaze and looked up . All of a sudden, their eyes met . Li Sicheng's eyes were always cold and deep . She had never seen anyone's eyes could be that cold and calm . It was as if even if a giant mountain collapsed in front of him, he would not move . No matter what she did, he was always calm and mysterious .

It was in those eyes that she drowned herself in her previous life, which was full of pain . However, she would not do that again, never . She would not love him this time around . Avoiding his investigative look, Su Qianci asked Mrs . Tang, "Mrs . Tang, do you think you should apologize?"

Mrs . Tang did not look too happy, but Tang Mengying who was standing behind her walked up and said to Mrs . Tang, "I'm sorry, mother . I lied to you…"

As she apologized, the ladies yelped incredulously .

Mrs . Li was obviously shocked, unable to believe that Tang Mengying would do something like that .

Guilt crossed Tang Mengying's face . She said, "Grandma was a famous dressmaker when she was younger . She wished that I could hand-make a qipao for auntie . However, I spent so many years abroad that I had forgotten what my grandmother taught me . When I was at home, I was only pretending for grandmother's sake . I did not realize I would mislead you . Initially, I wanted to let it be and explain to you and auntie afterwards . But Su Qianci…"
