My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1448: Chapter 1449: Misunderstanding Resolved

Li Shengxiao looked at her lowered head, his blade-thin lips curling upward by an inch as he trapped her within his chest and continued, “The person who saved Lin Wan was Chu Xi. She happened to pass by and saw the car accident, stopped her car to rescue the people inside, and sent them to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, she even donated 200cc of blood to Lin Wan and waited until Lin Wan’s surgery was done and she regained consciousness before leaving. My grandmother was also there. My aunt offered to send her home, but Lin Wan still needed someone to stay with her. So, I had to help Chu Xi get home because her hands were injured from rescuing people and she couldn’t drive. When you called, I was driving and couldn’t pick up, so I turned on the car’s Bluetooth. She happened to speak out loud… That’s all there is to it.”

“When I messaged you, I didn’t know about Lin Wan’s car accident. Right after I sent the message, I got a call and rushed to the hospital. The hospital was crowded and chaotic, plus she was in the surgery room the whole time and hadn’t come out yet, so I momentarily forgot about the movie. I made you wait for three hours.” He lowered his eyelids, his impossibly handsome face carved as if by divinity. Bending down, he pressed his neck against her, his breath spraying onto her face, his voice husky and devastatingly magnetic, “I’m sorry, Yanyan.”

Rong Yan finally understood the ins and outs of the situation, and the suffocating frustration in her chest completely dissipated. She pressed her lips tightly together, a little embarrassed yet slightly annoyed, and said, “For situations like this, you could’ve just told me! If you had said something, I would’ve understood. But you didn’t say anything or explain, trapping me at the door in the middle of the night. It’s normal for me to be mad!”

So it wasn’t her fault, she wasn’t being petty, and she wasn’t jealous!

Li Shengxiao looked at her ink-black eyes and the subtle awkwardness in her expression, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. “Yeah, I know.”

“…” What did he know?

Rong Yan glanced at him and somehow felt that they weren’t on the same wavelength.

Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, she shifted slightly and coughed awkwardly. “Ahem. Now that everything’s been clarified, you can let me go, right? I’d like to take a shower. My back’s killing me after a long day. After the shower, I’m planning to go to bed early. Don’t worry about me. If you still have work left, go deal with it… uh…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly scooped up and gently set down on the bed.

“Li…” She had barely begun saying his name when a large hand suddenly landed on the sorest spot on her waist, kneading it with an appropriate strength that sent relief to her achy nerves.

“Here?” Li Shengxiao pressed down around the dip in her waist.

He didn’t have any experience in giving massages. Aside from necessary social engagements, he rarely visited places where such things were offered. But he was naturally gifted and had studied human acupoint distributions. Every area his fingers applied pressure to happened to be exactly where Rong Yan was sore. As his fingers brushed over those tense spots, the pain gradually gave way to a comfortable warmth like a soothing current…

Rong Yan surrendered and closed her eyes in pleasure, fully relaxing as she unashamedly directed him, “Lower. A little lower—it’s even worse there.”

Li Shengxiao followed her instructions and shifted his hand. “Here?”

“Mmm, mmm, mmm…” The little woman beneath him sighed contentedly like a satiated cat, “Go a little to the left. My tailbone hurts the most! I spent the day sitting in the office with Estelle staring at a computer screen, and then spent two hours tonight watching a movie with Little Baby—my butt’s practically flattened! Please, oh Great Master, press my tailbone~”

Li Shengxiao’s gaze swept over her delicate waist, so slender it could barely fill his palm. Even with clothing separating them, he could accurately locate the position of her tailbone.
