The atmosphere in the private room became tense.
Rong Yan unconsciously held her breath, her chest feeling heavy, making it hard to breathe.
She instinctively glanced beside her.
Mrs. Jiang was talking about him, why wasn’t he reacting at all?
Li Shengxiao sat poised, his tall figure standing out in the interplay of light and shadow, his handsome face strikingly distinguished. His jade-like fingers held chopsticks, placing a piece of chicken into Rong Yan’s bowl as if he hadn’t heard Jiang Chenyue speaking about him...
"Eat something, you haven’t eaten since you got up this morning."
"..."
A piece of chicken breast appeared in Rong Yan’s bowl, her lips twitched slightly. Seeing him so calm, her heart that was in turmoil suddenly settled for some reason.
She picked up the chopsticks next to her and also placed a piece of bland pork rib into his bowl, "You too, Doctor Cui said your stomach isn’t good; you shouldn’t eat chili recently. Take care and adjust your stomach."
"Okay." Li Shengxiao was in a good mood, managing a smile, his dark eyes like ink dots, spreading joy, "I’m not busy lately, just acpanying you. Whatever you eat, I’ll follow suit!"
Rong Yan pursed her lips, rolling her striking eyes at him, "You want me to eat bland food, so I eat bland food, why insist on saying follow me."
"You can eat spicy too." Li Shengxiao placed another pork rib that matched his into her bowl, carefully waiting for it to cool before offering it to her, "Anyway, I follow what you eat."
How could she bear to let him, with his stomach ailment, eat spicy food with her!
Rong Yan buried her head, gnawing the rib with a hint of indignation.
Seeing her eat so heartily, Li Shengxiao, originally without much appetite, was also stirred, elegantly enjoying the rib she gave him.
He sat on the chair with his back straight, simply eating, yet his table manners were impeccable, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Their soft and casual interaction didn’t interrupt the conversation in the private room, but everyone’s gaze was unconsciously drawn to their intimate exchange.
Especially Su Xiansui and Lin Na, their faces turned burning hot as if slapped seeing Li Shengxiao and Rong Yan’s interaction.
They went around claiming the couple would soon divorce, but looking at their affection, how could they look about to divorce?
Everyone saw it, including Jiang Chenyue, of course. Although she wasn’t happy that Li Shengxiao hadn’t taken her words seriously and hadn’t shown urgency, Rong Yan liked him. She couldn’t bear to keep them hanging any longer, directly telling Lin Wei, "Mr. Li and Yan might not be highly patible, but her liking surpasses everything! Our requirement is simple; the first and most crucial one—We want a wedding! Yan has been married to him for two years and still hasn’t had a proper wedding. People often talk about this outside. If you can’t give her a wedding, then divorce. On this point, we will not promise!"
Hidden marriage was her idea, yet in the end, he bore the blame.
Rong Yan interjected, "Mrs. Jiang, actually, the hidden marriage was my request, it has nothing to do with Li Shengxiao."
Jiang Chenyue remained adamant, "I don’t care whose idea it was; he’s a man. You married him, he should take responsibility for you! Giving his wife a wedding is the least a man should do. If he can’t even do this, I won’t agree for you two to be together!"
Who she’s with should be her own decision; she won’t be manipulated by others. Rong Yan was about to speak when her hand on the table was suddenly pulled.
