Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Finally Met Rong Yan’s Boyfriend
The prestigious man held Rong Yan’s hand and, striding forward with long steps, arrived at the spot Estelle had cleared for him. His deep-set eyes swept over the silenced crowd in the private room as he casually greeted them, “Sorry to have kept you waiting, I ran into something this evening and was a little delayed. Hello, I’m Rong Yan’s boyfriend, Li Shengxiao.”
——Hello, I’m Rong Yan’s boyfriend, Li Shengxiao.
The whole place went so quiet you could have heard a pin drop, everyone looking at each other, the word “shocked” clearly written on their faces.
Rong Yan’s boyfriend is——Mr. Li?!
This news is simply explosive!
Especially for the young assistant, who had been filled with guilt, feeling she’d said something out of line and should apologize to Rong Yan.
But in the blink of an eye, the old, fat-faced man she had pictured in her mind transformed into the distinguished and exceptional Li Shengxiao, leaving her utterly dumbfounded.
Rong Yan’s boyfriend isn’t the kind of high-level executive at Li Group she had imagined, but instead… the CEO of Li Group! That background was just too, too, too… impressive!
Everyone was so stunned that their ears were buzzing, and even Rong Yan was surprised that he introduced himself like that upon arrival.
At this moment, Li Shengxiao turned his head and glanced at her, his usually cool and hard profile bathed in a soft glow. With his eyes half-closed, he spoke in a gentle tone, “Thank you all for taking care of Yanyan during this time, you’ve been working hard.”
When the big BOSS personally offered thanks, the attendees, still in shock and unable to recover, quickly regained their composure and hurriedly said, “Mr. Li, you’re too kind, taking good care of Rong Yan is our job duty.”
“That’s right, that’s right, plus Rong Yan is really easy to get along with. Usually, she takes care of us more than anything.”
The others praised Rong Yan to the skies, almost to the point of exaggeration, as if she was unmatched on earth and capable of handling everything by herself.
Li Shengxiao appeared to be in a good mood as he listened to the overt flattery.
It was as if the flattery was even more pleasing to him than having his ego stroked.
After everyone had finished praising, he then pursed his lips and said, “Let’s sit down and eat. Tonight, order whatever you like, I’ll cover the bill.”
He ordered a bottle of red wine worth six figures, which was brought to the table and opened. The waiter poured a glass for everyone, casting an eerie atmosphere over the dinner.
While everyone desperately tried to find topics to keep the mood from cooling, they also sneaked glances at Rong Yan, almost as if their faces were plastered with the words ‘damn, Rong Yan’s boyfriend turns out to be Mr. Li’.
The assistant looked over more than anyone else, aside from burying her head in her food, she stole glances at Rong Yan with an incomprehensible and complex look in her eyes.
She was dying to ask Rong Yan why she hadn’t shown off such a great boyfriend and allowed Rong Weiwei to flaunt herself in front of everyone.
If she had a boyfriend with a presence that could overpower Rong Weiwei’s boyfriend, she’d have been showing off to the skies by now and grinding that little green tea bitch under her heel!
Rong Yan, the person involved, could certainly feel how everyone was stealthily looking at her throughout the whole meal. In such an odd atmosphere, she really couldn’t eat much, but Li Shengxiao seemed not to notice the strange vibes at the table. Carefully listening to the tentatively broached topics by others, he elegantly and indifferently continued piling dishes onto her plate, so much so that they began to stack up high, and still he continued.
Rong Yan ate her head off for quite a while, and just as she saw the food in her bowl piling up higher and higher, about to spill over, she hurriedly protected her bowl and said, “Li Shengxiao, I’ve had enough.”
