“Little Demon Rong, your business is way too busy, huh? Your phone hasn’t stopped ringing since we got here,” 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?
“Who is it?” Gu Linxi also leaned in to look.
“A friend,” Rong Yan quickly moved her phone away and answered the call, “Hello?”
The voice from the phone was deep and captivating, “Look up!”
Rong Yan lifted her head and suddenly spotted a tall and a small figure standing at the street corner outside the music bar’s glass.
The tall one, handsome and noble; the small one, pretty and cuddly—who else could they be but her husband and child? Li Shengxiao brought Little Baby too?!
Rong Yan stood up so quickly from her chair and blurted out to the person on the other end of the phone, “Why are you guys here?”
Li Shengxiao, standing at the roadside, saw the girl stand up inside the music bar, his gaze fixed on her without shifting, “I’ve come to pick you up.”
Rong Yan, “…” Didn’t she say she’d 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, “Little Demon Rong, what are you doing? What’s wrong? Did your sister-in-law cause some trouble again?” “That can’t be. She’s already done enough to you; what more can she do?”
Gu Linxi thought there had been some kind of trouble too, “Did Rong Weiwei do something again?”
She hadn’t told Gu Linxi about her secret marriage with Li Shengxiao.
Hesitating for a moment, Rong Yan grabbed her bag and said to them, “It’s not Rong Weiwei. I just remembered there’s something I need to take care of. Xixi, you guys go ahead and eat. I’ll treat you another day to apologize.”
“Damn it, Little Demon Rong, it was you who said we should all eat together, and now you’re just ditching us?!” 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, “I’ll treat you to a meal another day.” “I’ve got to go now.”
“Xixi, remember to help me with that thing I mentioned to you before, all right?”
Gu Linxi nodded, “I know, I’ll send it to you tonight.’
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.
“Mom!” Little Baby, who had just been dutifully holding his hand, let go immediately and threw himself into Rong Yan’s arms.
Rong Yan embraced a whole armful, rubbing him tenderly, “Didn’t you go to grandma’s? Why did you come here?”
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, “Dad brought me back.”
As long as he could see his dear Little Demon Rong, he would call him dad.
In any case, calling him dad didn’t mean he had given in.
He could still dislike him if he wanted!
“Duidui should spend more time with grandma.”
“I know,” Li Duidui was always easygoing with her, “I told grandma I would go back and sleep with her tonight.”
“That’s my good boy,” Rong Yan said, rubbing his soft little face, then stood up and said to the tall man, “Li Shengxiao, why did you still come? You’ve been busy all day; I wanted you to rest a bit more, and yet you still came to pick me up.”
“Right, have you had dinner?”
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..
