Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Did You Fall into the Kitchen?
âYou donât want me to go again?â It was clear that someone was in a good mood, as even the air seemed to flow with a relaxed and easygoing atmosphere.
âNo, itâs normal for you to go on a business trip, Iâm not a child, I understand. I was just asking, thatâs all,â Rong Yan tried to justify herself.
She wasnât used to the emptiness of the house without him.
But she wasnât so sentimental as to demand he stay home with her every day, Li Group wasnât a small company, with how many branch companies, holding companies, and brands under Li Shengxiaoâs control, he was incredibly busy! He had already tried his best to make time for her and Little Baby, nearly spending every evening at home dining with themâshe wouldnât be so ungrateful as to occupy all his time.
Although⊠she had thought about it.
But she wasnât really that sentimental.
Li Shengxiaoâs dark eyes deeply scrutinized her, as if seeing through what she was thinking, released her arm, pursed his thin lips, his gaze flickered then quickly returned to calm, âI wonât be going to Rui City again. Iâve already dealt with the situation there, and unless something unexpected happens, I donât plan to go on another business trip anytime soon.â
Rong Yan lifted her head, looking at him in surprise.
Why did that sound like a promise?
âI didnât mean that, what I just said was true, I really donât mind you going on business trips.â
Li Shengxiaoâs chiseled face bore a hint of a smile, âIf thereâs another unavoidable business trip, Iâll take you with me. Youâll need to keep your schedule open, as it might be a last-minute trip.â
Rong Yan could tell he wasnât listening to her at all and shot a frustrated glare at the self-absorbed man, trying to resist feebly, âDid you hear me? Iâm not stopping you from going on business trips, you go on your trips, I know itâs normal because of workâŠâ
Li Shengxiao beckoned her with a finger, pulling her over, gripping her slender waist, his voice dropping lower, âYou, I need you too.â
Work needs, her, he also needs!
Even more than work!
If this trip hadnât been for a doctorâs visit, and if it werenât uncertain whether Susan would be suitable, he probably would have taken her with him.
âThis time was an exception, Yanyan, Iâll try my best to avoid such incidents in the future.â
ââŠâ Rong Yan realized she hadnât misinterpreted; he was indeed making a promise to her. For some reason, her tongue tied itself in knots, âNo, you donât have to, Iâm not blaming you, why are you suddenly making this promise to me?â
Why was he suddenly making this promise to her?
Li Shengxiao contemplated the same question, the answer almost on the tip of his tongue.
âBecause a week is too long!â
A week was too long, long enough that he almost wanted to blend her into his very bones and take her away.
So long that several times, he considered returning midway.
So long that he questioned whether his decision was right, regretting why he hadnât taken her with him that morning.
For him, a week once seemed like an insignificant number, but since she entered his life, since she agreed to date him, a week without her felt unbearably long, like the mathematical symbol âNâ, representing infinity.
Rong Yan was pressed against him, her ear close enough to hear the sound of his heartbeat, âthump thumpâ, once again losing its rhythmâŠ
At that moment, someone in the living room, as if unable to bear it any longer, shouted toward them, âItâs almost been fifteen minutes, how come you havenât come out yet, donât tell me you two have fallen into the kitchen!â
