Chapter 679: Chapter 679: The first proactive call was hung up on
Li Shengxiao spoke before she could hang up the phone, “Do you want me to come pick you up?”
“No need, no need, I’m very close to where we’re eating, I’ll just take a taxi there to secure a spot.” She saw a taxi heading her way and hurriedly waved her hand while quickly saying to the man on the phone, “Li Shengxiao, I’m getting in the car now, so I won’t talk to you any longer. I’ll go ahead and wait for you guys, you take your time coming over.”
He hadn’t finished speaking, but Rong Yan thought he was still insisting on coming to pick her up, so while opening the taxi door with one hand, she interjected, “Really, there’s no need for you to come here, I’ve already found a car. Alright, I’m going to secure a spot. You know that place is really popular, and if we arrive late, I’m afraid there won’t be any seats left. Take your time coming over, I’m hanging up now.”
After she finished speaking, she didn’t give him time to continue and hung up the phone, then turned to the driver waiting for her destination and said, “Master, to the food street.”
Once the driver knew the destination, he stepped on the gas and headed toward the place Rong Yan mentioned. He didn’t forget to tease Rong Yan, “Young lady must be going on a date with her boyfriend, right? That place is really popular among young couples like you, haha, it’s great to be young.”
Rong Yan was teased to the point where she couldn’t find words to reply and could only smile shyly.
On the other hand, inside Li Shengxiao’s designated Lincoln car, Gu Ming, who was in the front, heard Li Shengxiao fall silent. Glancing through the rearview mirror and catching a glimpse of the backseat, he asked in surprise, “Mr. Li, did Miss Rong ask if you were going to pick her up?”
The CEO had just taken the initiative to call Miss Rong, but why had he suddenly stopped talking?
He belatedly realized… Could it be that Miss Rong had hung up on Mr. Li?
After Gu Ming realized this possibility, he somewhat regretted asking his question.
Realizing that he had been hung up on, the man leaned back in his seat, touched his forehead and closed his hawk-like eyes, “No need.”
“Oh, okay.” Gu Ming, sensing he had asked the wrong question, hastily changed the subject, “Should I head straight to the food street then?”
Li Shengxiao pursed his thin lips, opened his hawk-like eyes, and took another look at his quiet phone, furrowing his brows, “Find a flower shop nearby.”
“Yes.” Gu Ming understood; Mr. Li intended to buy flowers for Miss Rong. However, how did the boss, who was usually so dull about these matters, suddenly think of the tactic of buying flowers for a girl? It was truly rare.
He didn’t know that before Li Shengxiao had left, he called Cui Jiangjing to ask about many details of dating a girl before heading out.
Gu Ming parked the car near a flower shop, got out to personally buy a bunch of irises, then got back in the car.
Gu Ming noticed that his mood wasn’t affected by Rong Yan hanging up the phone, and he seemed to be in a rather good mood, so he quietly put his mind at ease.
Ever since Mr. Li had alcohol-induced gastrorrhagia more than a week ago, his relationship with Miss Rong seemed to undergo a qualitative change. Recently, Miss Rong had been busy with work and didn’t have much time to accompany Mr. Li, but the boss didn’t show any signs of being distracted or irritable at work.
Nevertheless, he still cleared his evenings every day, even if Miss Rong might not be able to return early at night, Mr. Li would make time to spend with the Crown Prince.
It was the first time Gu Ming had seen Li Shengxiao in a good mood for such a long stretch, and he sincerely hoped nothing would spoil it and that these times could last even longer!
