It was so late and he still hadnât eaten? Rong Yan frowned, feeling relieved she had decided to come out, âWhy havenât you eaten yet? Were you very busy today? Did you have a lot to do?â
Li Shengxiao grabbed her wrist in one swift motion, his thin lips pressed into a line, eyes slightly narrowed, âYanyan, are you concerned about me?â
He hadnât eaten.
He hadnât 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 Shenzxiaoâs voice was husky as he repeated. âYouâre concerned about me?â 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, âIs it wrong for me to be concerned? Youâre not my manâ¦â
She suddenly remembered Little Baby was still around, nearly biting her tongue. Her words took a sharp turn, replacing âboyfriendâ with, âArenât you my husband? Itâs perfectly normal for me to be concerned about you.â
Dammit, she almost slipped and called Li Shengxiao âboyfriend.â If Duidui heard her refer to Li Shengxiao as her boyfriend, sheâd definitely suspect her of selling herself to save her son, and Little Babyâs 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 didnât want Duidui to overthink.
âLi Shengxiao, did you really not eat?â Calling him âhusbandâ slipped out so naturally, she then moved on to other thoughts.
âLetâs go eat, shall we?â
She remembered the butler and Cui Jiangjing had mentioned that this man had a bad stomach.
He had finally finished his work and didnât 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, âI remember thereâs a place around here that serves decent seafood porridge. Why donât we go have some? I havenât eaten much just now either, so I can join you. Duidui, have you had your dinner?â
Li Duidui, who had just been feeling jealous because his Mommy kept asking the bad guy and didnât ask about him, instantly felt better when Rong Yanâs gaze fell on him. Obediently and politely, he said, âI can eat with Mommy.â
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.
âRepeat what you just said.â
Her nose almost got hit, and as she looked up, confused, she said, âJust now, what did I say?â
What had she said that got such a strong reaction out of him?
âThe words you just said!â
What she had just saidâ¦
Rong Yan, with her waist firmly held in the middle of the street, her ears warming upâand thankful for the hat that covered most of her flushed faceâsaid, âI remember thereâs a place around here that serves decent seafood porridge?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo?â Rong Yanâs head was almost spinning, what else had she said? It seemed like nothing much.
âShall we go have a meal?â
âNot that line! The one before it!â The manâs eyes were burning intensely, like a flickering flame, desperately controlling himself.
The line before that?
Rong Yan really couldnât remember what she had said before.
âLi Shengxiao, didnât you eat? Or is it normal for me to care about you?â
âThe line in between.â
Even if Rong Yan was slow to catch on, at this point, she knew which line he wanted to hear. âHusband?â
Husband!
The noble manâs eyes instantly contracted, he bowed his head, and sealed her sweet red lips!
