Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Actively Invite Him to Go Shopping
After a private dining experience with spicy and sour noodles that left Rong Yan sweating profusely, her seaweed-like long hair draped softly down. Hidden beneath the duckbill cap, her melon seed-shaped face blushed red from the heat and spice, looking like a blooming poppy amidst her snow-white skin: a hint of innocence mixed with a rich, alluring charm!
Rong Yan kept sticking out her tongue from the spiciness, heartily devouring a large bowl of spicy and sour noodles and the hot and spicy soup laid out before her, all the while looking after Little Baby next to her. From time to time, she picked out a couple of quail eggs for him, rinsing them with tea to remove the spicy peppers before putting them in his bowl.
“Duidui, have an ‘eggy’—they’re nutritious.”
“Mmm, thank you, mom. Mom should eat too~” The handsome little boy, whose skin was as translucent white as hers, paired with the delicate features characteristic of the Li Family men, was alarmingly beautiful. He clumsily tried to imitate Rong Yan by picking up a quail egg for her, shakily placing it in Rong Yan’s bowl.
“Mom needs nutrition too~!”
Rong Yan had ordered his dish with less spice, and the landlady had indeed put fewer peppers in it, but his skin was so fine that even a little bit of pepper would make his little mouth turn bright red. The white skin paired with big eyes looked extremely adorable.
“Mwah.” Rong Yan sweetly blew him an air kiss, but the quail egg in her bowl was indifferently snatched away by the man across from her, replacing it with a piece of beef, “You should eat more meat; you’re too thin.”
Rong Yan had already eaten seven or eight pieces of beef that evening and was nearly sick at the sight of it. She reluctantly watched the quail egg, which Little Baby had picked for her, move away. She resignedly picked several pieces of beef and ham for him, placing them in his bowl until it was piled high. Only then did she look at him with her charming eyes and say, “You should eat more too. Finish all of these. You’ve been too tired lately and probably haven’t been eating properly.”
She had been busy working recently, trying to supervise his meals during lunch and dinner every day. However, sometimes she would still overlook a meal.
Whenever she forgot and called Gu Ming, he would act as if missing a meal was no big deal and would continue to work overtime.
If he wasn’t in a meeting, he was meeting someone; in short, he was busier than she was, even though she was a rising star with a packed schedule.
Shengxiao suddenly noticed that his bowl was filled with a variety of things piled up at the top. He narrowed his eyes and looked up at Rong Yan, a hint of comfort and pleasure fleeting through his gaze.
Rong Yan didn’t notice his subtle joy and took the initiative to say, “Hey, Shengxiao, let’s go for a walk nearby after dinner. There’s a street around here that many couples love to visit, with lots of accessories for couples. Do you want to check it out?”
Did Little Demon Rong want to buy couple’s accessories with the big bad wolf? He didn’t have any. Little Baby pouted, sneaking a glance at the man who could possibly turn into a star, pursed his lips, and pretended not to have heard, continuing to eat the quail eggs his mommy had picked for him.
He poked and poked zealously!
If the big bad wolf turned into a star, he would become like him, a person without a father—how pitiful. His home’s Little Demon Rong would also become as lonely as his grandmother every day. If Little Demon Rong and the big bad wolf stayed together, would that mean the big bad wolf could avoid turning into a star forever?
His melancholy was understood by no one, but Shengxiao was somewhat surprised that Rong Yan took the initiative to invite him. It didn’t dampen his good mood, though. “Sure!”
