âLittle Demon Rong, your business is way too busy, huh? Your phone hasnât stopped ringing since we got here,â Lin Xinbei complained, obviously annoyed. Rong Yan felt embarrassed, picked up her phone, looked at the screen, and paused.
How come it was Li Shengxiao again?
âWho is it?â Gu Linxi also leaned in to look.
âA friend,â Rong Yan quickly moved her phone away and answered the call, âHello?â
The voice from the phone was deep and captivating, âLook up!â
Rong Yan lifted her head and suddenly spotted a tall and a small figure standing at the street corner outside the music barâs glass.
The tall one, handsome and noble; the small one, pretty and cuddlyâwho else could they be but her husband and child? Li Shengxiao brought Little Baby too?!
Crap.
Rong Yan stood up so quickly from her chair and blurted out to the person on the other end of the phone, âWhy are you guys here?â
Li Shengxiao, standing at the roadside, saw the girl stand up inside the music bar, his gaze fixed on her without shifting, âIâve come to pick you up.â
Rong Yan, ââ¦â Didnât she say sheâd take a taxi home or have Lin Xinbei and the others send her back? Why did he still come?
Her sudden movement startled Lin Xinbei across from her; he thought she had run into some trouble. He quickly asked, âLittle Demon Rong, what are you doing? Whatâs wrong? Did your sister-in-law cause some trouble again?â âThat canât be. Sheâs already done enough to you; what more can she do?â
Gu Linxi thought there had been some kind of trouble too, âDid Rong Weiwei do something again?â
She hadnât told Gu Linxi about her secret marriage with Li Shengxiao.
Hesitating for a moment, Rong Yan grabbed her bag and said to them, âItâs not Rong Weiwei. I just remembered thereâs something I need to take care of. Xixi, you guys go ahead and eat. Iâll treat you another day to apologize.â
âDamn it, Little Demon Rong, it was you who said we should all eat together, and now youâre just ditching us?!â Lin Xinbei was fuming, almost ready to jump up and bite her.
Rong Yan, while anxiously looking at her husband and child waiting outside, could only try to calm him down, âIâll treat you to a meal another day.â âIâve got to go now.â
âXixi, remember to help me with that thing I mentioned to you before, all right?â
Gu Linxi nodded, âI know, Iâll send it to you tonight.â
Rong Yan gave an OK sign with her hand and then hurriedly picked up her purse and left.
Li Shengxiao, clad in a black trench coat, stood tall and imposing at the corner of the street, waiting for her. Soon, he saw his girl running towards him from the music bar.
âMom!â Little Baby, who had just been dutifully holding his hand, let go immediately and threw himself into Rong Yanâs arms.
Rong Yan embraced a whole armful, rubbing him tenderly, âDidnât you go to grandmaâs? Why did you come here?â
Li Duidui, who had only been away from her for a day, already missed her desperately and wished he could burrow into her embrace. His large, puppy-like eyes were filled only with her. Upon hearing her question, he first sneakily glanced at the tall man beside him, then grudgingly spoke up, âDad brought me back.â
As long as he could see his dear Little Demon Rong, he would call him dad.
In any case, calling him dad didnât mean he had given in.
He could still dislike him if he wanted!
âDuidui should spend more time with grandma.â
âI know,â Li Duidui was always easygoing with her, âI told grandma I would go back and sleep with her tonight.â
âThatâs my good boy,â Rong Yan said, rubbing his soft little face, then stood up and said to the tall man, âLi Shengxiao, why did you still come? Youâve been busy all day; I wanted you to rest a bit more, and yet you still came to pick me up.â
âRight, have you had dinner?â
All the fatigue seemed to vanish the moment he saw her, and hearing her soft voice concerningly suggesting he should rest a while longer noticeably brightened his mood. Even the irritation he had felt earlier upon seeing the male friend who had been dining with her from the outside had been appeased at this moment..
