The two actually did not speak loudly, but Fang Chixia and Luo Yibei were close together, so she heard the two’s voices clearly on the other side.
Fang Chixia spaced out and her hands organizing some documents paused.
Luo Yibei was also a bit surprised.
The Su family was a prestigious and wealthy family. Su Ran grew up with a golden spoon, so she probably has rarely been in the kitchen. Since when did she need to do dinner herself?
Needless to say, Luo Yibei also knew that today was her first time cooking.
Fang Chixia felt no emotion towards Su Ran and merely deplored her behavior.
It was just the kitchen. If she didn’t want to go in, she just needed to wait for the servants to do the work in droves, why did she have to get herself many wounds?
Those were her thoughts, however, men might think differently. She nodded for sure.
With her face angled sideways, she let her gaze see how Luo Yibei would react motionlessly.
Luo Yibei was obviously surprised by the call. He froze for a moment before replying, “Be careful next time.”
His caution was static, but they weren’t as cold as before.
Fang Chixia’s brow furrowed and a hint of irony rose from the corner of her lips.
Was he distressed?
Afterwards, Sha Zhixing seemed to say something else, before Luo Yibei ended the call. His gaze immediately swerved in Fang Chixia’s direction.
After weighing his words, he said, “I may have to go home again tonight.”
“Oh.” Fang Chixia just grunted softly, that tone, as if it didn’t matter at all.
But in her mind, she was thinking. Didn’t she get hurt in the kitchen too? Was he distressed then?
That wouldn’t matter to him the least bit!
She was struck with the irony, but nothing showed on her face, clouded over as if she didn’t mind anything.
What Luo Yibei disliked the most was whenever she gave him the cold shoulder.
“I’ll come back early later.” He frowned, staring at her for several moments. After that, he grabbed his coat and headed straight out of the office.
Fang Chixia didn’t move and stared at his back, but the irony in her eyes thickened.
He really left!
She felt so uncomfortable while staring at his departing figure, and as he was about to walk through the doorway of the office, she snapped and tossed the documents she was holding on the table and suddenly called him to a stop, “Wait!”
She must have tossed them pretty hard and somewhat on fire, because the resounding noise on the table top was loud.
Luo Yibei was slightly stunned. His footsteps faltered and glanced at her sideways, not moving and waiting for her next words.
Fang Chixia’s face slowly lifted, looked away as if indifferent while her voice trailed off, “Don’t go!”
“Reason?” Luo Yibei looked at her with perfect concentration, raising his brows up.
Fang Chixia looked at him again, her bright eyes locking with his deep, inky eyes. Her expression turned solemn as she replied, “Because I don’t like it!”
Her remark was quite domineering, so overbearing that Luo Yibei froze in silence.
Looking at her like this without making a move, the corners of his lips lifted beautifully.
“I don’t want you to go!” Observing his reaction motionlessly, Fang Chixia reiterated once again.
Su Ran’s behavior tonight was clearly a deliberate attempt to curry favor.
The banner was to dine together. But after dinner, who knew what would happen next?
He was her husband, and the agreement between them would exist for a few more years, as did his conjugal relationship with her.
On their marriage certificate, the name written next to his name was hers!
