Chapter 1716: Chapter 1717: No One Else but Him
Rong Yan was both amused and exasperated, holding back laughter as she answered him, "Just eat until youâre full, donât overeat. Otherwise, youâll have to see a doctor for a stomachache tonight, and the doctor will give you an injection. You donât like injections, do you?"
"..." Li Duidui pursed his lips, hesitating without saying a word.
He was, after all, her son, so how could Rong Yan not know what was going on in his little mind? She smiled and said, "If you like eating them, we can make them again next time. Next time, weâll make dumplings. Dumplings wrapped in wonton dough are delicious and very cute."
Li Duidui wasnât particularly fond of wontons; he just enjoyed the fun of cooking with her. When he heard this, he immediately said, "And grandma."
It shouldnât be just the two of them; grandma would be very happy too. He wanted to involve grandma so everyone could be happy together.
"Okay, okay, and grandma," Rong Yan thought for a moment and added another person, "and your dad, the four of us together."
Li Duidui immediately showed an expression that was hard to describe, as if she had added an unnecessary person. His small brows furrowed, hesitating for a long time before muttering, "Okay."
"If heâs busy, itâs okay not to include him."
He would be very happy with just mom and grandma, whether or not dad joined was irrelevant.
...
Once they had worked together to wrap all the wontons, Rong Yan went into the kitchen to cook them.
She prepared three bowls, poured in the rib soup she had originally prepared for dinner, sprinkled some green onions and salt, and waited for the water in the pot to boil.
Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
"Who is it?" Rong Yan pulled out her phone, saw the caller ID, picked it up, and casually tested if the water was boiling with chopsticks to prepare to put in the wontons.
"Hello, Estelle."
"You didnât go to the award ceremony?"
"I didnât go. I didnât feel like it. Why?"
Estelle said, "Itâs nothing really, just check the trending topics on Weibo."
Rong Yan turned the heat down, curious, "Whatâs up with the trending topics?"
"Just check, youâll find out."
She curiously put down the phone, opened Weibo, logged in, and without Estelle needing to tell her, she saw a ton of notifications tagging her.
She randomly clicked open a few and they were all short videos.
She didnât know which creative mind made these, not only compiling the short videos but also adding captions to them. She didnât need the sound to know what was being said.
When she saw Zhou Chen going on stage to accept the award and specially thanking her, she showed a surprised expression. Then, seeing Chu Xi receive the "Most Promising Award," her lips curled into a sweet smile.
"Saw it?" Estelle, hearing her laughter, mostly guessed she had seen what Estelle wanted her to see, "Do you think Mr. Li did this?"
"It was him."
Rong Yan hadnât even needed to ask; she was certain, "No one else could have done it."
She was confident that this was Li Shengxiaoâs doing.
Because this man liked to protect and secretly stand up for her in private. And no one else but Li Shengxiao could make Chu Xi so embarrassed.
While she was on the phone with Estelle, she suddenly heard the servant calling for the young master outside. Her heart skipped a beat, and her ears inexplicably felt hot, her heartbeat quickening. She hurriedly said to Estelle, who was still talking, "Estelle, Iâm still cooking wontons; the waterâs boiling. Iâll call you back in a bit. Thatâs all for now, hanging up."
