Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Waiting Up for Him at Night Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Waiting Up for Him at Night Little Demon Rong: [Li Shengxiao, are you still not done with your work?]
She hadn’t slept yet?
The next message quickly followed.
Little Demon Rong: [What on earth happened to Doctor Cui so late? I think I saw him at the banquet tonight, he was over there, he shouldn’t cause any trouble.]
Li Shengxiao’s eyes flashed, his expression relaxed considerably. His fingers tapped the cell phone screen as if the little woman was right in front of him, and he could whisper to her that Cui Jiangjing had not only caused trouble but had also run headfirst into a messy situation, forcing him to clean up the mess all evening.
But Rong Yan couldn’t possibly read his mind from so far away.
Probably bored waiting for his reply, she sent him another cute emoji.
Little Demon Rong: [Do you have an umbrella in your car? It looks like it’s going to rain outside. Shall I e over and bring you an umbrella?]
At one in the morning, she wanted to run over to bring him an umbrella? Clearly, she was worried about him and wanted to see what he was up to. Li Shengxiao realized Rong Yan’s thoughtfulness, but instead of being displeased by it, he felt pletely relaxed; the unhappiness that had been weighing on his heart had subtly vanished.
His temples were still sharply painful, and his forehead was still sweating coldly, but his mood was entirely different from before. That difference, caused by just a few cell phone messages, was something he himself found hard to believe.
Li Shengxiao half-closed his eyes, the distinct lashes casting a shadow over most of his pupils, giving his gaze a deep, captivating allure, serious and focused.
His fingers tapped out a reply on his phone.
LSX: [Haven’t you slept yet?]
After sending the message, he took a breath, his hand resting on the car window as he looked out at the neon lights, and after breathing in some cold air, the dizziness in his head wasn’t that severe anymore.
‘Ding.’
Rong Yan’s reply came back.
Little Demon Rong: [Does you seeing the phone mean you’ll be finishing up soon?]
LSX: [Yes, I’ll be back soon, you go to sleep first.]
Little Demon Rong: [How soon is ‘soon’? Can you be back before two o’clock?]
LSX: [Yes.]
He put down his phone, waited for the initial disfort to subside, and restarted the car, driving towards Dihor Garden…
Ten minutes later, he opened the entrance door.
Upon entering, the living room lights brightened up the place, and the little woman in pink pajamas walked out of the kitchen, holding two cups. Seeing him return, she greeted him as naturally as a small wife waiting up for her husband late at night, “Li Shengxiao, you’re back? I was just wondering if it was too early to make this for you, but then you’ve arrived. You can warm your hands first before drinking~”
Her features were picturesque, her fair skin looked delicate under the light, barely showing pores. She walked over in fluffy slippers, her slender legs encased beneath the pink pajamas, swaying seductively like a tempting demon. Li Shengxiao’s heartbeat, which he had just managed to calm, started racing uncontrollably again because of her casual movement.
Rong Yan turned her head just then and saw him, saying curiously, “What are you standing there for? e over.”
He stood at the entrance, staring at her, making her skin crawl as if she had run out naked.
“I made you honey water. e over and have some to warm your stomach before you shower and go to sleep,” she said with a smile, her voice carrying a soft nasal tone, showing that she was already sleepy.
