It was so late and he still hadn’t eaten? Rong Yan frowned, feeling relieved she had decided to come out, “Why haven’t you eaten yet? Were you very busy today? Did you have a lot to do?”
Li Shengxiao grabbed her wrist in one swift motion, his thin lips pressed into a line, eyes slightly narrowed, “Yanyan, are you concerned about me?”
He hadn’t eaten.
He hadn’t eaten all day today.
To him, not eating for a whole day when he was busy was normal, nothing strange about it. But hearing her concern made him feel damned good! Li Shenzxiao’s voice was husky as he repeated. “You’re concerned about me?” Rong Yan was slightly startled by his action of grabbing her wrist, meeting those dark and profound eyes, puzzled as a monk touching his head, “Is it wrong for me to be concerned? You’re not my man…”
She suddenly remembered Little Baby was still around, nearly biting her tongue. Her words took a sharp turn, replacing ‘boyfriend’ with, “Aren’t you my husband? It’s perfectly normal for me to be concerned about you.”
Dammit, she almost slipped and called Li Shengxiao ‘boyfriend.’ If Duidui heard her refer to Li Shengxiao as her boyfriend, she’d definitely suspect her of selling herself to save her son, and Little Baby’s round face would wrinkle into a little steamed bun face again, looking at her with those reddened eyes as if she were a poor little yellow flower being sold.
Rong Yan didn’t want Duidui to overthink.
“Li Shengxiao, did you really not eat?” Calling him ‘husband’ slipped out so naturally, she then moved on to other thoughts.
“Let’s go eat, shall we?”
She remembered the butler and Cui Jiangjing had mentioned that this man had a bad stomach.
He had finally finished his work and didn’t rest at home, but came here to pick her up. It would be bad of her not to even offer him a meal. Rong Yan thought about what was good to eat nearby, then glanced at Little Baby, “I remember there’s a place around here that serves decent seafood porridge. Why don’t we go have some? I haven’t eaten much just now either, so I can join you. Duidui, have you had your dinner?”
Li Duidui, who had just been feeling jealous because his Mommy kept asking the bad guy and didn’t ask about him, instantly felt better when Rong Yan’s gaze fell on him. Obediently and politely, he said, “I can eat with Mommy.”
What a good Little Baby, her son was really so well-behaved. Rong Yan was so sweetened by this she smiled warmly, just about to bend down to kiss his little face.
Suddenly, she felt her waist being encircled.
Before Rong Yan could grasp what was happening, she was pulled into a burning embrace.
“Repeat what you just said.”
Her nose almost got hit, and as she looked up, confused, she said, “Just now, what did I say?”
What had she said that got such a strong reaction out of him?
“The words you just said!”
What she had just said…
Rong Yan, with her waist firmly held in the middle of the street, her ears warming up—and thankful for the hat that covered most of her flushed face—said, “I remember there’s a place around here that serves decent seafood porridge?”
“No?” Rong Yan’s head was almost spinning, what else had she said? It seemed like nothing much.
“Shall we go have a meal?”
“Not that line! The one before it!” The man’s eyes were burning intensely, like a flickering flame, desperately controlling himself.
The line before that?
Rong Yan really couldn’t remember what she had said before.
“Li Shengxiao, didn’t you eat? Or is it normal for me to care about you?”
“The line in between.”
Even if Rong Yan was slow to catch on, at this point, she knew which line he wanted to hear. “Husband?”
Husband!
The noble man’s eyes instantly contracted, he bowed his head, and sealed her sweet red lips!
