My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 863: Chapter 863: Isn’t that a giveaway?

She realized and said helplessly, “Calling Assistant Gu is the same as calling you, isn’t it? I was worried you were in a meeting and I would disturb you if I called you directly. And it turns out, you were indeed in a meeting.”

He wasn’t in a meeting!

Li Shengxiao pursed his lips in irritation, but he knew why Gu Ming said he was in a meeting, and he couldn’t possibly tell Rong Yan that he wasn’t in a meeting but dealing with the Chu Family’s affairs instead.

Rong Yan didn’t think too much of it. Seeing his dark and unclear expression, she simply bent down and hugged his arm, “Alright, don’t be angry anymore. I’ll make sure to keep my distance from other men in the future, OK~”

This time she had actually been very careful. Estelle, Gu Ming, and Little Baby were all there; she would have to be out of her mind to flirt with Zhong Yuye.

He was totally overthinking it!

However, the feeling of her own boyfriend getting jealous didn’t seem too bad. Rong Yan smiled with her eyes curving, tugging at him to stand up, “Are you just upset because I invited Zhong Yuye for a meal? I’ll invite you out too, three times over. You’ll get three times more than he did; surely you won’t be mad then.”

Rong Yan pulled and dragged him, “Come on, we’re short on time. You only have an hour and a half left to eat something; if we waste more time here, you’ll end up hungry again at lunch.”

“It doesn’t bother me,” Li Shengxiao said indifferently.

Rong Yan really wanted to grab him and give him a beating, and said sternly on purpose, “It bothers me, okay!”

Her soft fingers poked the man’s abdomen, “I don’t want to see you go hungry, or see you in pain from a stomachache because it would make me upset.”

Oh, how was his abdomen so firm, hard as an iron board; poking it made her finger hurt.

Rong Yan retracted her hand meekly and looked up at the man’s sharply defined jawline. She softened her voice and coaxed, tugging at his arm, “Li Shengxiao, let’s go eat something. I didn’t eat much either, I still have to work overtime and rush a new song this afternoon. There’s also a magazine photoshoot. You don’t want to see your beautiful girlfriend starve to death in the studio and have to collect her corpse…”

Li Shengxiao really disliked hearing her use the word ‘die’. His chest had been somewhat burdened with annoyance, but in an instant, he pulled the little woman who intentionally provoked him in front of him, “What would you like to eat?”

Showcasing a sly expression, Rong Yan was like a fox that stole a fish, “I’m treating you to a meal, not the other way around. What I want is not important; what matters is what you want to eat.”

“Come on, tell me what you want. Anything is fine; I’m paying today. Estelle just gave me my share of the advertising revenue from a while ago, Miss is not short on money, pick whatever you want.”

Li Shengxiao looked at her bright and spirited face, his mood transitioning from cloudy to sunny, “So, not short on money, hence treating people to Zijin Club and ordering champagne, huh?”

“What champagne?” Rong Yan looked at the table, spotted the champagne bottle, and realized with enlightenment, speaking casually, “I didn’t order that, it was complimentary. Didn’t you know? I heard Zhong Yuye say that every private room in Zijin Club comes with a complimentary bottle of wine.”

In her view, there was nothing strange about receiving a complimentary bottle of wine with a meal that cost twenty thousand.

But Li Shengxiao recognized the brand of that champagne and knew very well the value of such a collector’s level champagne. Hearing Rong Yan offhandedly mention it was ‘complimentary’, the hard-won clear skies in his heart suddenly darkened again.
