Rong Yan entered and immediately took her place on the sofa, saying to the man in a suit and leather shoes, “You go ahead and get busy, don’t worry about me. I’ll entertain myself here and wait for you.”
Li Shengxiao narrowed his eyes, wishing he could take her with him to the meeting room, but obviously it wasn’t feasible at the moment, “Will you be okay here by yourself?”
“No problem at all,” Rong Yan said helplessly, “Please, I’m 20 years old, not 2. Besides, I’m on your turf, what could possibly go wrong?”
There was a knock on the office door.
Gu Ming wheeled in a small trolley.
It was laden with fruits, meals, coffee, and pastries, and he said with a beaming smile to Rong Yan, “Miss Rong, this is the afternoon tea Mr. Li asked me to prepare for you in advance. Please enjoy.”
Rong Yan’s mouth almost shaped an ‘O’ with surprise, and after the astonishment, all that was left was overwhelming helplessness and emotion as she turned to the tall man and said, “Li Shengxiao, you’ve prepared so much, I couldn’t finish it even in three days. Actually, a cup of coffee would have been enough.”
“I’m not at ease with you here alone!”
Simple enough, direct enough!
Rong Yan, speechless, looked at the cartload of food and said in frustration, “Have you heard a fairy tale before? It’s about someone extremely lazy, so lazy that he wouldn’t eat unless fed by someone else. One day, his family had an emergency and had to travel far, worried that he’d have nothing to eat.
So, they made him a huge pancake and hung it around his neck, thinking that would be foolproof, right? But when the family returned after dealing with the emergency, they found the person had actually starved to death.
The reason for his death was merely that after eating the pancake that was by his mouth, he was too lazy to turn it and starved!”
What was she trying to say?
Rong Yan continued, “I’m thinking, if I keep going on , I might become that person who starved to death.”
How come she felt that ever since their concealed marriage, where she used to handle big and small matters alone, now 80 percent of things were being resolved by him?
It’s nearly progressed to him managing her meals.
Li Shengxiao’s gaze firmly fixated on her, not pausing for a second as he replied, “Never!”
“Because I’m not going far away!”
“What if, in the story, there was an emergency…”
He continued unhurriedly, “Even if there were an emergency, I would take you with me! Until now, in my subjective judgment, there hasn’t been anything more important than you!”
Rong Yan was completely at a loss for words.
Li Shengxiao stayed with her for a while, then went off to his meeting.
The spacious office was suddenly left with only her.
Rong Yan looked at the cart full of fruit and pastries, and then at the pink laptop that Gu Ming had brought in, along with software to play games, her head spinning with confusion.
He was really treating her like Li Duidui, fearful that she’d get bored during the one or two hours of his meeting.
In fact, there was no need; she had already planned to play with her phone and wait for him in the office when Gu Ming had told her.
But now, having the laptop was a bit more convenient.
Because today was the first episode of the show she recorded, the AQ platform had done a lot of promotion, attracting much attention even before it aired. It seemed the first episode had just finished airing, and she hadn’t had a chance to see the results yet.
Rong Yan took the laptop from beside her and turned on the computer.
