Chapter 1644 - 1645: Not as Sweet as You
Chapter 1644: Chapter 1645: Not as Sweet as You
Rong Yan cupped her hands around her mouth and breathed out, her palms were almost frozen stiff. Especially after being stuffed with dog food, she felt a chilly sensation around her neck, and goosebumps popped up as the wind blew.
"Hasn’t he finished work yet?"
She shivered as she fumbled out her phone to send a message asking someone when they’d be off work. Otherwise, she might not wait any longer and just call a taxi herself.
Otherwise, standing so conspicuously by the roadside, it would be too much trouble if someone recognized her.
Just as she typed the message and was about to send it, suddenly, wheels rolled on the ground and stopped in front of her.
She looked up, and the car window rolled down just in time. The man’s profile was outstanding, cold and reserved, with striking eyebrows and eyes.
With long fingers, he pressed the car door open, lightly nudging his rose-colored lips, "Get in the car."
Rong Yan put her phone back in her bag, opened the passenger door, and sat inside, closing the door as she said, "I thought you were coming later and was just about to tell you I’d head back on my own."
As she closed the car door, she planned to fasten her seatbelt. Unexpectedly, the man leaned over, placing a coat from the back seat on her and fastening it button by button, before saying, his breath warm, "I went back to get you some clothes, got delayed a bit. Waiting for long, babe?"
"..." Rong Yan’s heart pounded wildly, and her hand gripping the seatbelt stayed stiff. No choice, the earlobes were too hot, her heartbeat was too fast, her brain was almost oxygen-starved and blank.
Perhaps sensing her body stiff as a stone, Li Shengxiao lifted his eyelids, his deep black eyes like a dark sea, ready to sweep her away, "Why aren’t you talking?"
Her earlobes were getting hotter, like they were about to be cooked. Especially with him intentionally close, Rong Yan took a deep breath, her heartbeat finally calming down a little. Her almond eyes met his beautiful ones, "You’ve said everything, what do I say?"
"Heh." He curled his lips, sunlight hiding at the corner of his long eyes, "You can say anything you want, I can hear it all."
"..." Rong Yan stared!
Rong Yan stared again!
Unable to stand it, she finally raised her hands to push him away, "I want to say... could you please not be so teasing? Just got stuffed with dog food, and when you tease like this, I’ll have trouble sleeping at night."
Li Shengxiao didn’t anticipate her pushing him, and he leaned back against the seat, resting one hand on the steering wheel, revealing a strong wrist adorned with an understated and luxurious black men’s watch, the very birthday gift Rong Yan had given him.
Those familiar with him know that for over a year, he’s loved wearing a black boss brand thin sweater and that watch on his wrist. Neither is considered pricey given his status, but he wears them often.
Only Gu Ming, who stays by his side, knows that both items are from Rong Yan.
"How did you get stuffed with dog food?"
Rong Yan also saw the watch, and with the coat draped over her shoulders dispelling the earlier chill, she no longer envied the girl she saw roadside, slightly raising the corners of her mouth and lowering her individually distinct lashes, her eyes hiding light, "Nothing much, just saw a very sweet couple by the roadside. Not as sweet as you, though!"
If he wanted to flirt, women would be swarming around him, and there’d be no room for her.
For the first time, someone used "sweet" to describe Li Shengxiao, he rested his forehead, half-crying, half-laughing but couldn’t bear to say she was wrong, "Let’s go, it’s been a long wait, I’ll take you out to eat."
