Chapter 1888: Chapter 1889: How Can Someone Be This Handsome
Rong Yan walked down the stairs and saw someone lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed, leisurely reading a magazine in the sunlight. The light slipped through his long fingers and shone on his extraordinarily handsome face, making him strikingly attractive.
Her heart suddenly skipped two beats.
He must have heard her ing downstairs.
The man looked up from his magazine and his gaze landed on her.
Their eyes met.
Rong Yan’s heart seemed disobedient, refusing to calm down.
Oh gosh, stop it, you’re embarrassing! You see him every day, it’s not like you haven’t seen him before, why are you getting so worked up?
She pressed a hand against her left chest, quickly averting her gaze, her pale cheeks turning a pearly pink, her rounded earlobes flushing crimson.
Li Shengxiao didn’t notice her unusual behavior, taking her blush as a result of the sunlight. He put down the magazine and stood up, “You’re up? Want some coffee? I’ll have someone make it for you.”
Rong Yan briskly walked down the stairs, too embarrassed to look at him, and said, “No, Estelle is still waiting for me, I need to go out for a bit.”
Hearing her words, the man holding a mug paused, his deep black eyes immediately looking at her, “Where are you going? I’ll go with you.”
Rong Yan had already reached the bottom of the stairs and was right in front of him. She shook her head and said, “No need, I’m not going anywhere, just to the pany for a bit. Estelle is about to finish up and wants me to go over to plete the final handover. She says it can’t be done without me.”
Li Shengxiao grabbed her wrist, “I’ll go with you.”
Rong Yan was stunned, “Uh.”
“…I’m just going to the pany for a bit; I’ll be back soon. You don’t have to acpany me specifically. I’m not a three-year-old kid who’s going to get lost.”
Li Shengxiao’s handsome face remained calm and posed, unaffected by her words. He insisted, “I’ll take you there!”
“…” Rong Yan stared!
Li Shengxiao just held her wrist firmly.
She stared some more!
“…”
He remained silent, still holding on tightly, his imposing six-foot-one-inch frame was intimidating even just standing there.
Her eyes hurt from staring, and she resigned in frustration, raising her free hand in surrender, “Alright, alright, together, together!”
The next second, the iron grip on her loosened.
How realistic is that?
Rong Yan’s mouth twitched slightly, exasperated, “I’m not going far. You don’t have to be this worried. Are you planning to acpany me like this from now on?”
Li Shengxiao’s thin lips curved slightly, indicating he had achieved his goal. He was in a good mood, coolly sliding both hands into his coat pockets, “I’ll try whenever I can. If there’s a meeting I can’t miss, I’ll have Gu Ming acpany you. In general, try not to go out alone too often. It’s not safe out there.”
What’s unsafe? Rong Yan suspected he was like a nagging forty-year-old mother who couldn’t rest easy no matter what her child did.
She knew she couldn’t argue with him, so she didn’t bother, following him outside while asking, “You’re not going to the pany today either?”
Since she returned from England, she hadn’t seen him going to the Li Group, and she couldn’t understand why he suddenly wasn’t busy.
As winter approached, he was usually busier than on ordinary days, especially nearing the year’s end. There were many meetings at the pany, and the Li Group controlled hundreds of subsidiaries worldwide. At this time, they were about to submit their annual financial reports and next year’s project plans for him to review… So much work that he scarcely had time to sleep. Why was he so free these days?
