Chapter 1248: Chapter 1248: I Don’t Know Whose Taste Was Inherited
“Outside.” She finished speaking and gave the driver an address, “You’re awake? I’ll be right back.”
Li Shengxiao had just stepped out of the Water Pavilion when the valet respectfully placed the car key in his hand. Hearing the gentle voice on the other end of the phone, his fierce mood seemed to be soothed by an invisible hand, considerably improved. He opened the door of the Bentley with one hand, got in, and spoke in a deep, mellow voice, “No need, I’m also outside.”
“You went to the office?” Rong Yan asked after a brief pause.
Li Shengxiao thought of the words he had just heard, not wanting to bring his bad mood to her, “Yeah, dealing with some work.”
“Oh.” Rong Yan didn’t think too much about it and asked him, “Then, will you be coming back for dinner tonight?”
Tonight… Li Shengxiao’s eyes were so dark it seemed as if no light could be seen within them; a heavy fierceness pressed down within them like dark clouds hidden behind the sun, looming in layers of clouds, ready to bring a storm at any moment. But his voice was still very gentle, as gentle as if he were coaxing a child.
“I’ll be very late tonight, don’t wait for me. I’ll just grab something to eat outside.”
What Rong Yan trusted the least at the moment was his claim that he would eat!
“You said yourself that you would eat, don’t forget and skip it because you’re too busy. I’ll have Assistant Gu keep an eye on you. If you don’t eat, then fine, I won’t eat tonight either, and I’ll join you in going hungry!”
This was the first time Li Shengxiao had been threatened, yet for some reason, it made his heart feel ticklish, as if a small brush were scratching it, making him want to pin her against the wall and kiss her fiercely.
A joyful chuckle rolled in his throat, yet his voice remained steady as ever, “Don’t worry, I will eat.”
“You can eat at home with Duidui tonight, or outside if you wish, just have someone follow you and be safe.”
“I’m not one or two years old, and neither is Little Baby…” Rong Yan said this, but the corners of her eyes curved slightly, softening her features without her noticing, “We will eat at home tonight. Little Baby and I had hotpot for lunch, so I’ll make a couple of light dishes for him, and we’ll have porridge for dinner.”
Plain porridge is a good thing, unfortunately, Little Baby least likes bland rice soup. She still didn’t know whether his taste preferences were inherited from her or Li Shengxiao.
He can’t stand dishes without spice and is happiest when there’s chili pepper.
If a meal doesn’t include something spicy, he feels discomfort everywhere, in his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and lungs.
But she had no intention of changing her plan to eat plain rice soup for dinner.
After chatting with Li Shengxiao a while longer, she spotted the familiar cake shop and quickly said to the man on the phone, “I’ve arrived, I won’t talk anymore, I’ll message you when I get home, go ahead with your work.”
While she was busy hanging up the phone, she also hurriedly called out to the driver who was about to drive forward, “Master, just stop here.”
After paying, Rong Yan confidently pushed open the door of the cake shop.
This cake shop sold purely handmade cakes, soft and at just the right texture, sweet but not sickeningly so. Despite their high prices, the business was doing very well, selling out daily.
Little Baby was very fond of their Black Forest cake, so Rong Yan always bought him a slice every time she came to pick someone up.
“One Black Forest cake.”
Upon entering, she was lucky to find the last slice of Black Forest cake still in the display cabinet and quickly told the staff.
The staff, having seen her buy many times before and even if Rong Yan always wore a duckbill cap and they hadn’t recognized her face, still remembered her. Seeing the regular customer, the staff smiled warmly and quickly opened the display cabinet, “Of course. Just wait a moment, and I’ll package it for you.”
