Rebirth: Different Way [(重生) 殊途]

Chapter 70

When Li Mingxuan returned to Shen Xi's place at night, it was already past 11 o'clock. He did not expect to stay with his father at the hospital for such a long time.

He opened the door gently; the living room was brightly lit, with the sound of the news broadcast on TV. Li Mingxuan subconsciously searched for Shen Xi's figure, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl in a smile when his gaze swept over the sofa.

On the large sofa, Shen Xi was hugging a pillow, curled up in a ball, sleeping peacefully, apparently falling asleep while waiting for him. Li Mingxuan's heart softened and he couldn't resist reaching out and brushing away Shen Xi's hair from his forehead, then leaned down and dropped a tender kiss on it.

Li Mingxuan's lips were slightly cool, and Shen Xi said in a daze, "Cousin?"

Li Mingxuan let out a soft "en" and kissed Shen Xi's lips, gently extending his tongue to grind.

With the familiar embrace and the familiar scent, Shen Xi subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Li Mingxuan closer and automatically found a comfortable angle in the other party's arms. Li Mingxuan smiled gently and reached out to pick up Shen Xi, then walked towards the bedroom.

Carefully placing Shen Xi on the bed, Li Mingxuan lowered his head and gave him a kiss, "Be good, you sleep first, I'll go take a shower."

Shen Xi nodded with his eyes closed, but after Li Mingxuan left, he found that he could no longer sleep. Frowning in annoyance, Shen Xi simply got up and leaned on the head of the bed, waiting for Li Mingxuan to come out of the shower.

"Awake?" When Li Mingxuan came out of the shower and looked at Shen Xi waiting for him, he immediately regretted it. He knew that Shen Xi was not sleeping well; he should have held back from kissing him just now.

Shen Xi nodded, looked at Li Mingxuan sitting down beside him and casually said, "Why are you back so late?"

Li Mingxuan was about to reach out and hug Shen Xi but stalled slightly, thought of something and said in a low voice, "Father and Uncle had an argument over something, so it was a bit late."

A surprised look appeared on Shen Xi's face. Li Mingxuan did not hide anything, "Do you still remember the last time Mother said she wanted to transfer the shares in her hands to Ah Ji? Uncle hopes that Mother will change her mind and transfer those shares to Ah Cheng."

Immediately, Shen Xi understood Shen Dehan's intention. Because of Shen Ji's accident, Shen Group could only be handed over to Shen Cheng in the future. In order to ensure Shen Cheng's dominance in Shen Group, Shen Dehan had given up on Shen Ji and chosen Shen Cheng. Despite knowing all this, Shen Xi still had a surprised look on his face, "Why? Didn't Mr. Shen always like Big Brother very much?"

Li Mingxuan didn't think Shen Xi would know about the recent events at Shen Group. Hearing Shen Xi's words, he carefully explained what he knew.

Shen Xi duly showed a weird look on his face, "Big Brother privately instructed someone to misappropriate Shen Group funds to trap Second Brother and was expelled from Shen Group?"

Li Mingxuan nodded and frowned slightly, "This matter is not that simple. Both Ah Ji and Ah Cheng must have been set up by someone."

Shen Xi looked at ease, "I also believe that Big Brother wouldn't frame Second Brother. But now won't Big Brother be unable to run Shen Group in the future? Is Mr. Shen willing to give up Big Brother? He didn't fight for Big Brother?"

"This matter involves Ah Cheng, and with the board of directors calculating on the side, the situation did not leave Uncle any choice ."

Shen Xi said carelessly, "Is that why Mr. Shen changed his mind?"
