Chapter 447: This Man Was Taken Care of in Just Ten Minutes
Li Shengxiao turned his head and saw her small hand, white as jade, resting on his arm, which even the strongest steel could become as soft as silk around her.
His agreement was incredibly swift.
Swift to the point of completely ignoring the large group of people waiting outside for him to finish the documents and make a decision.
Rong Yan, seeing that he had agreed, couldn’t help but show a triumphant expression. She immediately let go of his arm and said, “Then you go take a shower first.”
After his shower, she’d definitely make sure to tuck him into bed early and keep watch over him as he slept, to prevent him from getting up to work again when she wasn’t paying attention!
She had made up her mind, and as they walked, she said, “You can’t get your wound wet, so I’ll go run the bathwater for you first. Just take a bath and relax tonight.”
Showering could easily splash water on the wound, which could lead to troublesome infections and inflammations.
“Oh, right, Li Shengxiao, drink the honey water on the desk, and do you want a late-night snack later?” She thought about the portion of white porridge she had previously made, then said, “Forget it, that porridge isn’t filling enough, I’ll make you a late-night snack.”
She was contemplating whether there were still any ingredients like pig liver in the fridge that could nourish blood and boost qi when her wrist was suddenly grabbed. With a strong pull, she found herself falling into someone’s arms.
Directly onto his lap!
She opened her mouth, feeling that the situation was somewhat precarious, when the next second, his thin lips pressed against hers in a kiss that was different from his usual fervent ones. This time, it was as fleeting as a dragonfly skimming the water, touching her lips only briefly before pulling away.
After he drew back, his mood was evidently excellent, his dark eyes shining brighter than the stars as he gazed into her eyes and lightly touched his lips against hers, whispering, “Reward.”
Rong Yan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, thumping wildly, and her ears uncontrollably heated up. She took a deep breath, looking at the man’s handsome, regal face and, not knowing where the courage came from, her gaze slid down to his attractive lips. Then she suddenly cradled his face in her hands and kissed him back.
After kissing him, she quickly sprang up from his lap, “I’m going to run the bathwater for you.”
She ran even faster than the last time she had been in the hospital, darting out like a rabbit.
Li Shengxiao leaned back in his chair, his lips curving slightly, his fingertips tracing over his lips still holding the faint scent of the woman, and his mood dramatically improved.
Did this mean she was slowly starting to like him?
Outside, Gu Ming saw Rong Yan leaving and then came back in, only to see his boss looking unexpectedly cheerful.
He quickly lowered his head and asked softly, “Mr. Li, shall we continue?”
He meant to continue working.
“Not now.” Li Shengxiao glanced at him, returning to his usual demeanor, pushing the laptop and documents aside, massaged his temples, and instructed, “Tell them I’ll give them a response tomorrow morning!”
Tomorrow morning… which meant that Mr. Li did not plan to handle any more work tonight. Gu Ming had an indescribable expression on his face; he had thought that once Miss Rong left, Mr. Li would continue working, but it seemed the complete opposite was true. The reason Miss Rong left so quickly was entirely because she had already taken care of Mr. Li.
In his mind, he silently calculated the time he had spent in the living room.
In total, less than ten minutes.
In ten minutes, Miss Rong had convinced the resolute CEO, whose decisions were not easily swayed. Gu Ming’s understanding of Rong Yan ascended to another level.
