Chapter 1086: Chapter 1086: The Li Groupâs Dinner Arrangement is Set Here
She would feel terrible if she insisted on refusing the bossâs wife and losing face.
Rong Yan agreed cheerfully and even took the initiative to ask for what she wanted, not in a shy or coy manner, but naturally, as if everyone were friends, equal and casual. The bossâs wife looked at her as if she were her own daughter, growing more fond of her by the second, and couldnât help but say, âOkay. Miss Rong, I really like your personality. If I had a son, Iâd be desperate to have you as my daughter-in-law.â
Li Shengxiao, hearing this, darkened his handsome face and subtly placed his hand on the shoulder of the small woman who was attracting too much attention, silently reminding her of his presence.
The bossâs wife wasnât blind, of course, she saw his show of dominance and quickly waved her hands in an embarrassed manner, âUm, Mr. Li, donât get me wrong. My husband and I have a daughter, sheâs in high school; we donât have a son, I was just making a comparison.â
Rong Yan glared reproachfully at the man next to her, consoling her, âDonât mind him, bossâs wife, thatâs just how he is. Later, just add more vinegar into his hot and sour noodles, thatâll do.â
After she said this, she glanced again at the person beside her. Some people were just too jealous â if you didnât know better, youâd think he carried a vinegar jar on his back!
Li Shengxiaoâs thin lips tightened, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The bossâs wife chatted with Rong Yan for a bit more, and right then, a spot became available. She hurried to clean it up and freed up the table, calling Rong Yan and the others over to sit, âJust in time, thereâs a spot here. You guys sit first, Iâll go in and have my husband cook up your hot and sour noodles.â
She swiftly went inside, and Rong Yan secured a bench, wiping the spot next to her with a tissue, âHmm, Li Shengxiao, take a seat.â
The tall man stepped forward with long strides, and unlike how picky he was when he was alone, he seemed unconcerned with the grease that had accumulated on the tables and chairs over the years, and calmly sat beside Rong Yan.
The bossâs wife then brought out two bottles of Vitasoy milk in glass bottles, beaming as she said, âThis is on the house for you two, itâs free. When youâre finished, let me know and Iâll get you more.â
Rong Yan was pleasantly surprised and didnât know what else to say besides thank you.
Thankfully, the bossâs wife, having delivered the soy milk, went back inside.
Rong Yan, holding the glass bottle, looked troubled, âWhat should I do, I feel like Iâve gotten too much of a good deal. I feel so embarrassed that I canât even properly enjoy the taste of the hot and sour noodles.â
Li Shengxiao pulled out a pair of sanitary chopsticks for her, broke them apart, and placed them in front of her as he calmly suggested, âIf you feel embarrassed, you can give her money.â
Rong Yan rolled her eyes at him, admiring his emotional intelligence, âAfter what the bossâs wife said, how could I possibly give her money? That would be an insult, wouldnât it? She genuinely wants to treat me to hot and sour noodles to comfort me. Giving her money would be a betrayal of her kindness.â
Actually, it wasnât much money, but her kindness was priceless.
Li Shengxiao looked at the little woman beside him, her brows knitted together in an adorable way, which made him unable to resist a slight smile forming at the corners of his mouth.
âWell then, bring more people here next time. The Li Group is due for its end-of-the-month dinner soon, and Iâll have Gu Ming arrange for it to be here.â
Rong Yan looked at him sharply, her lashes distinct and her big eyes wide and round, speaking in a tone of disbelief, âAre you joking?â
Li Shengxiao, with elegant movements, pulled out another pair of chopsticks, this time for himself, âDo I need to joke?â
