Chapter 1132: Chapter 1133: He’s Jealous Without Reason

When did the people around him become her little trumpet, always reporting to her?

Just as Gu Ming went out to prepare the laptop, he came back in, holding the laptop, and heard Rong Yan’s voice.

“Don’t blame Assistant Gu, I asked him to keep an eye on you for me,” she insisted. “He originally disagreed, but I convinced him with your health, and he reluctantly agreed to help me watch over you. But Assistant Gu only mentioned once that you’ve been too busy lately to take care of your meals, and he hasn’t told me anything else.”

Touched by what he overheard, Gu Ming was moved to tears.

Miss Rong truly had a sense of loyalty.

Worried that Li Shengxiao might be angry, he softly called out, “Mr. Li.”

Li Shengxiao cast a cool glance at him. It didn’t seem like he was angry, but the look in his eyes was so chilling that Gu Ming shuddered. He had wanted to speak up for Rong Yan, but his lips trembled and he couldn’t utter a word.

Rong Yan vaguely heard Gu Ming’s voice on the other end of the phone and, fearing he would be implicated, bit her lip and emphasized, “Assistant Gu really didn’t tell me anything else, just that you’ve been busy and not paying attention to your diet. You believe me, don’t you?”

Li Shengxiao withdrew his gaze from Gu Ming, returned to the sofa in the living room, and took a sip of the tea that Gu Ming had prepared for him, his voice emotionless, “It seems you’re quite concerned about him.”

“Concerned about who?” Rong Yan didn’t catch on for a moment and was puzzled, “Are you talking about Assistant Gu?”

Something unidentifiable weighed on Li Shengxiao’s chest. What was once a sunny mood had suddenly become cloudy. “Yeah.”

He opened the laptop with one hand, disguising his irritation. “Since you started talking about him, you’ve been defending him in all sorts of ways. Even after he came in, you kept it up. I’m starting to look like the bad guy trying to separate you two.”

Rong Yan, as if she could see his expression at the moment, laughed and fell back on the bed, holding her phone, her eyes squinting with mirth. “You aren’t jealous, are you?”

Unable to hide his intense jealousy, Li Shengxiao had opened the laptop but now closed it again, his hand stiffly resting on the keyboard, his handsome face expressionless, “What do you think?”

Rong Yan rolled over, going from lying on the bed to propping herself on her elbows, a relentless smile on her face. She deliberately drew out her words, “Let’s see… I seem to smell a sour, vinegary scent. Could it be that the maid is cooking sour vegetable noodles for breakfast?”

Li Shengxiao, “…”

After the joke, Rong Yan smiled softly and said, “Haha, I’m just teasing you. I can feel it, you’re jealous. But you’re really being needlessly jealous. How could anything happen between me and Assistant Gu? Assistant Gu is your right-hand man; even if I wanted to cheat, I wouldn’t pick someone close to you.”

Li Shengxiao seized on the point, his eyes darkening, “You’re thinking about cheating?”

Realizing her joke might have gone too far, Rong Yan hurriedly cleared her throat and said earnestly, “No, of course not. Where could I find a man as outstanding as my dear boyfriend? It took me long enough to find one, I need to hold on tight, not cheat. If you’re going to cheat, it has to be with someone better than you, right? And who around you is better than you? There’s hardly anyone; I would hardly recognize anyone else.”

A flurry of flattery left Li Shengxiao feeling physically and emotionally gratified, but he was still not satisfied. “So you mean, you just haven’t met someone better than me yet, but if you did, you might change your mind?”

Rong Yan’s eyebrows knotted in embarrassment as she awkwardly said, “There’s simply no one better than you in this world. And even if there was, you would still be the best in my heart!”
