Chapter 1395: Chapter 1396: Take the Initiative to Message Him
As soon as they left, the boss of Hongsheng was so angry his face turned green.
He completely lost the mood to drink any further.
But besides the trade department crowd, there were other business partners present. He had a decent background, but wasn’t as impressive as Li Shengxiao, who could leave whenever he wanted. Even though his goal for the evening had fallen through, he still had to stay and engage in another round with the others…
…
The night breeze in Capital City was strong, chilling people to the bone.
After leaving Lan Feng, the cool wind blew on him, dispersing much of the alcohol, and Li Shengxiao closed his eyes, feeling the alcohol’s effect on his head.
Cai Wen, walking ahead of him, saw him stop and turned back. He saw Li Shengxiao pressing on his stomach, his face pale.
“What’s wrong?” He hurried back and supported the unwell man, “How can it be so serious? I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Li Shengxiao waited for the initial burning sensation in his abdomen to pass before shaking his head, declining his kind offer, “I have medicine at home, just need to take a pill when I get back.”
“Then I’ll take you home.”
“No need, Mr. Cai, my driver is waiting outside.”
Cai Wen asked him a few more times about going to the hospital, but Li Shengxiao refused. Having no other choice, before leaving, Cai Wen repeatedly reminded him to call if he needed anything.
Cai Wen’s car soon disappeared from sight.
Li Shengxiao called his driver, “Bring the car over.”
Less than two minutes after hanging up the phone, a low-profile black Lincoln stopped in front of him, the driver quickly got out and pulled the rear door open for him, “Mr. Li, please get in the car.”
Li Shengxiao bent over to get into the car.
In the car’s drawer, there were some medicines he frequently used. He opened a bottle of mineral water from the side, poured out a stomach pill, and swallowed it with the water.
The cold mineral water did not ease the alcohol-induced spasms in his stomach; on the contrary, the cold water irritated it, making it feel even worse.
He leaned back in exhaustion, stretching out on the seat and resting his head on the cushion, closing his eyes for a moment of rest.
The driver got into the car, and through the rearview mirror, he saw the unwell man behind him and asked cautiously, “Mr. Li, where are we heading now?”
The president’s complexion looked terrible. He actually wanted to suggest the hospital, but he didn’t dare to make the decision on his own. He braced himself to disturb the man resting in the backseat and asked tentatively.
Li Shengxiao glanced at the night outside the window, furrowed his brows, pinched the bridge of his nose, and sat up again. The discomfort and fatigue on his face were suppressed as he regained his usual omnipotent demeanor, “Back to Dihor Garden.”
“Alright.”
The car immediately started and headed towards Dihor Garden smoothly…
On the way.
His phone beeped twice.
Li Shengxiao picked up his phone and glanced at it, noticing a new message.
His eyes slightly narrowed, lips pressed together, he swiped open the message, and a big smiling face entered his view.
A profound emotion flowed through his eyes as his phone vibrated again, and [Little Demon Rong]’s avatar popped up.
[Dear, when are you coming back? I’ve picked up Little Baby, and he’s already had a bath and gone to bed.]
[You said you went to a business dinner, have you had dinner yet? Want me to make you a simple late-night snack? What would you like to eat? Tomato and egg noodles, maybe?]
[If you want it, reply to my message so I can prepare the ingredients. Not sure if there’s tomato in the fridge, if not I’ll go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some. You can also tell me if there’s anything else you want, and I’ll buy it all at once. PS, remember to tell me half an hour in advance, okay? ^-^]
