Li Shengxiao spoke before she could hang up the phone, âDo you want me to come pick you up?â
âNo need, no need, Iâm very close to where weâre eating, Iâll just take a taxi there to secure a spot.â She saw a taxi heading her way and hurriedly waved her hand while quickly saying to the man on the phone, âLi Shengxiao, Iâm getting in the car now, so I wonât talk to you any longer. Iâll go ahead and wait for you guys, you take your time coming over.â
âWaitâ¦â
He hadnât finished speaking, but Rong Yan thought he was still insisting on coming to pick her up, so while opening the taxi door with one hand, she interjected, âReally, thereâs no need for you to come here, Iâve already found a car. Alright, Iâm going to secure a spot. You know that place is really popular, and if we arrive late, Iâm afraid there wonât be any seats left. Take your time coming over, Iâm hanging up now.â
After she finished speaking, she didnât give him time to continue and hung up the phone, then turned to the driver waiting for her destination and said, âMaster, to the food street.â
âOkay.â
Once the driver knew the destination, he stepped on the gas and headed toward the place Rong Yan mentioned. He didnât forget to tease Rong Yan, âYoung lady must be going on a date with her boyfriend, right? That place is really popular among young couples like you, haha, itâs great to be young.â
Rong Yan was teased to the point where she couldnât find words to reply and could only smile shyly.

On the other hand, inside Li Shengxiaoâs designated Lincoln car, Gu Ming, who was in the front, heard Li Shengxiao fall silent. Glancing through the rearview mirror and catching a glimpse of the backseat, he asked in surprise, âMr. Li, did Miss Rong ask if you were going to pick her up?â
The CEO had just taken the initiative to call Miss Rong, but why had he suddenly stopped talking?
He belatedly realized⦠Could it be that Miss Rong had hung up on Mr. Li?
After Gu Ming realized this possibility, he somewhat regretted asking his question.
Sure enough.
Realizing that he had been hung up on, the man leaned back in his seat, touched his forehead and closed his hawk-like eyes, âNo need.â
âOh, okay.â Gu Ming, sensing he had asked the wrong question, hastily changed the subject, âShould I head straight to the food street then?â
Li Shengxiao pursed his thin lips, opened his hawk-like eyes, and took another look at his quiet phone, furrowing his brows, âFind a flower shop nearby.â
âYes.â Gu Ming understood; Mr. Li intended to buy flowers for Miss Rong. However, how did the boss, who was usually so dull about these matters, suddenly think of the tactic of buying flowers for a girl? It was truly rare.
He didnât know that before Li Shengxiao had left, he called Cui Jiangjing to ask about many details of dating a girl before heading out.
Gu Ming parked the car near a flower shop, got out to personally buy a bunch of irises, then got back in the car.
Gu Ming noticed that his mood wasnât affected by Rong Yan hanging up the phone, and he seemed to be in a rather good mood, so he quietly put his mind at ease.
Ever since Mr. Li had alcohol-induced gastrorrhagia more than a week ago, his relationship with Miss Rong seemed to undergo a qualitative change. Recently, Miss Rong had been busy with work and didnât have much time to accompany Mr. Li, but the boss didnât show any signs of being distracted or irritable at work.
Nevertheless, he still cleared his evenings every day, even if Miss Rong might not be able to return early at night, Mr. Li would make time to spend with the Crown Prince.
It was the first time Gu Ming had seen Li Shengxiao in a good mood for such a long stretch, and he sincerely hoped nothing would spoil it and that these times could last even longer!
