Chapter 835: Chapter 835: Taking Little Baby to Work
Matters have their priorities, and Mr. Li, except for when it came to Miss Rong’s affairs, in other matters he was incredibly rational, sometimes so much so that he seemed like a pre-programmed tool. If not Miss Rong, who else could it be?
A suspect popped into his head, but he didn’t dare to confirm it.
“It’s Chu Xi, the one you just saw. I have a collaboration to discuss with her,” Li Shengxiao affirmed his guess.
Gu Ming’s jaw nearly dropped, and he stuttered, “Mr. Li, is it, is it, is the collaboration with IF?”
Gu Ming hurriedly stepped forward, pressing, “Then it is…?”
Li Shengxiao gave him a stern look, which instantly froze him in his tracks. Gu Ming shrank his neck and apologized sheepishly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Li, I overstepped my boundaries.”
He was just the boss’s assistant, and aside from work, he shouldn’t concern himself with other matters. But having been in touch with Miss Rong and Little Baby for a while, he’d genuinely grown fond of them, which was why he couldn’t help but try to understand what was going on just now.
He’d forgotten that the man in front of him was not the kind one could pry into!
Indeed, Li Shengxiao had no intention of explaining to him what the lunch meeting was actually about. After Gu Ming apologized, he flipped open the contracts he had piled up earlier, and lowered his head again, “Go on. Make the arrangements.”
Gu Ming, not quite satisfied, stole another glance at him, bowed his head, and quietly left the room, saying, “Yes.”
Rong Yan, who was in the car, had no idea that at this moment, Gu Ming was struggling internally, contemplating whether or not to ‘snitch’ to her.
She was on her way to KT Entertainment with Little Baby, who was excited beyond belief about going out to work with her for the first time.
“Mom, can I stay by your side all the time and watch you work?” the beautiful little boy, who had been quiet for just a few minutes, leaned against the car window looking outside, then suddenly turned his head back and asked.
Today, Rong Yan had dressed him in the simplest T-shirt and shorts set—a navy-striped T-shirt paired with dark navy knee-length shorts, complemented by a pair of trendy piled socks and shoes resembling naval boots. The simple outfit that any boy his age would wear looked incredibly stylish on him, making him seem like a little model on a fashion show runway. Even Estelle, who had come to pick them up, couldn’t help but sigh when she saw the ‘low-key’ outfit Rong Yan had specially chosen for the little boy: You’d be less conspicuous not trying to be low-key at all.
Rong Yan, teased by her with no way out, spread her hands helplessly and challenged her to think of something low-key for the little guy to wear.
Estelle frowned thoughtfully for a long while, but after staring at Baby Li’s pretty little face that just couldn’t be made low-key, she gave up the struggle, opened the car door, and hurried them inside.
Rong Yan really liked the outfit she’d chosen for the little one today. When she suddenly saw his tender little face turn toward her, she almost couldn’t resist pinching it to see if it would squish water, “Sure, you can play with your phone next to me, but you can’t disturb the other little ladies. Can you do that?”
Li Duidui responded in a milky voice, “I can do that!”
He was silent for another two seconds before the excitement on his little face got the better of him and he asked, his cheeks flushed with excitement, “Then, mom, is that lady you mentioned pretty?”
“Pfft!” Not only Rong Yan but also Estelle, sitting in the front passenger seat, were amused by him. Teasing him, she said, “You’re concerned if the lady is pretty or not, Duidui is really growing up, a little boy indeed. Auntie’s sister is also pretty, would you like to play at auntie’s house next time?”
