Chapter 686: Chapter 686: He Actually Prepared the Date Surprise
As soon as the lady boss left, Rong Yan turned her head and with a wave of her hand began directing the two in her house, “Li Shengxiao, would you take Duidui with you to pick out some vegetables, is that alright?”
The distinguished man, who had always waited on hand and foot, was being instructed for the first time, and he slightly raised an eyebrow.
Rong Yan pretended not to notice. It was only natural for a girl to enjoy her boyfriend’s services, and she didn’t feel guilty at all. She pinched the cheeks of Little Baby, who had behaved well just now, and said gently, “Baby, would you like to go with Daddy to pick out some vegetables?”
Little Baby quickly glanced at her, then at Li Shengxiao, and a troubled expression appeared. Instinctively, he wanted to resist, but remembering what Little Demon Rong had told him about big bad guys turning into stars in the sky, he pursed his lips into a smile and hummed in agreement, tacitly accepting Rong Yan’s request.
Rong Yan, seeing that he was unusually cooperative, immediately looked up at Li Shengxiao and signaled with her eyes, “Why don’t you take Baby to pick a vegetable? See what he wants to eat and help him get it.”
She let go and allowed Li Duidui to get down.
The little guy obediently walked up to the tall man.
Li Shengxiao frowned slightly, then smoothly bent down to pick up Little Bean, who was standing beside his leg, and walked inside…
The tall figure and the small one soon entered the shop, leaving Rong Yan alone outside.
Gu Ming, who had been waiting nearby, couldn’t stand it any longer and took the opportunity while Li Shengxiao was away to quietly come over and greet Rong Yan, “Miss Rong, um…”
Rong Yan didn’t expect him to still be around and waved to him naturally, “I thought you had gone off to get busy. Wait a moment, I’ll ask the lady boss to bring another serving of spicy sour noodles.”
Gu Ming quickly stopped her, “No, Miss Rong, I’m not eating.”
“Aren’t you hungry?” Rong Yan asked, turning back in surprise.
Gu Ming’s face turned slightly red from holding back, not knowing how to start the conversation, but knowing he had to hurry, he went on with a stiff face, “No, I’m going to eat somewhere else soon.”
“Miss Rong, actually, today Mr. Li has specifically prepared a surprise for you, wanting to take you on a date, which is why he rented out the spicy sour noodle shop and even brought you flowers…”
Rong Yan’s mind was slow to catch up, and she looked at him in astonishment, “Are you saying he rented this place and stuffed a bunch of irises into my hand when he arrived, as a way to ask for a date?”
Frick, who gives irises on a date?
Gu Ming also knew that giving irises was a bit… unconventional. But as a subordinate, he definitely wasn’t going to question the decisions of his one and only boss. He dryly explained for Li Shengxiao, “Perhaps Mr. Li saw that flower and thought it was particularly suitable for Miss Rong. He probably doesn’t know the meaning behind irises since he has never given flowers to any girl before. Miss Rong is the first! Plus, today Mr. Li wanted to create a surprise for Miss Rong; it may have been a bit abrupt in his method. Hopefully, Miss Rong won’t mind.”
“…”
More than abrupt, it was downright awkward.
If he hadn’t come over to tell her about the surprise Li Shengxiao had prepared, she wouldn’t have realized by now that he was trying to surprise her with a date. Wait! That is, she hadn’t even realized that tonight was supposed to be a date!
He knew that she had plans with Little Baby tonight, and that Little Baby was coming too, yet he still deliberately planned a surprise date. Could it be that his idea of a date involved three people?
The scandalous phrase “two men and a woman” popped into Rong Yan’s mind, which was unfortunate because one of the men was much too young, only 5 years old, not even fully grown, and could temporarily be disregarded.
