Chapter 673: Chapter 673: The Feeling of Being Pampered by Someone
In the CEO office of Li Group on the 88th floor, the handsome man suddenly stopped his work, picked up the phone beside him, and glanced at it.
[No, why do you suddenly ask me this, did you see someone who looks like me?]
There was a cute emoji attached to the message.
Li Shengxiao’s fingertips slid over the adorable little panda on the emoji, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.
He walked away from the leather swivel chair to the imposing floor-to-ceiling window and looked out…
From the 88th floor, the buildings below seemed as tiny as matchboxes, let alone the people, who were almost just little black dots. It was impossible to make out what the people below actually looked like.
Gu Ming was waiting for him to comment on important documents; seeing him suddenly walk over to the floor-to-ceiling window, he was surprised and followed him, “Mr. Li, is there someone down there?”
Could it be Miss Rong down there?
Otherwise, why would Mr. Li suddenly stop working and walk over to the floor-to-ceiling window?
As Gu Ming was guessing, Li Shengxiao’s phone buzzed again with a message from Rong Yan, [What would you like to eat tonight? I’ll cook for you.]
She usually was too lazy to cook, doing so only when there was no other option. Why would she suddenly offer to cook today? Li Shengxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and replied quickly with half-closed eyelids, [I thought you were going to eat hot and sour noodles with Little Baby?]
After replying, he furrowed his brow, feeling his heart uncontrollably tightening its rhythm.
He looked down, unsure if Rong Yan was among the tiny black dots below, but he had the nagging feeling that the little woman was somewhere very close to him now!
A street across, Rong Yan burst out laughing when she received his message, and with swift fingers typed, [Did Duidui tell you? That big blabbermouth — wasn’t it supposed to be a secret, not to be told to you. He actually went and sold himself out.]
Always feeding Little Baby sour and spicy noodles might seem somewhat irresponsible. Having spent a few years abroad, she didn’t believe that so-called ‘unhealthy’ food would affect kids much.
Many foreign kids eat fries, fried chicken, and drink cola every day and still grow up healthy.
Compared to an average child, Little Baby was too sensible. Having finally found something he enjoys, as long as it doesn’t affect his health, she was more than willing to indulge him.
She was only worried that Li Shengxiao might think she was spoiling the child too much.
After all, her philosophy on upbringing was that children are like trees, which should grow freely into whatever shape they want, rather than being ruthlessly pruned by their parents, losing all their edges.
[No, it was mom who told me. She said Duidui told her that you had plans tonight, so she shouldn’t cook dinner. And she secretly packed a box of mint-flavored gum in the backpack.]
It turns out it wasn’t Little Baby who let the secret slip but herself who gave away her intentions with her little actions.
[I know I shouldn’t let him eat too much junk food. Since we’re eating it tonight, I will wait another half a month before taking him again. He has been very good lately, how about we reward him just this once?]
Worried that Li Shengxiao might not agree, she followed up with several pitiful-looking emojis.
The reply from the other end came back quickly.
Rong Yan eagerly opened it.
[“Okay”], crisp and concise!
Yet Rong Yan felt as if he was indulging her, almost able to picture the expression on his handsome face as he sent this message to her…
