Chapter 689: Chapter 689: Pinning her against the wall in his arms
In the evening, Rong Yan took the initiative to walk around the food street with both the big and small one, even buying a set of adorable matching father-and-son pajamas for them.
By the time they returned to Dihor Garden, the sky outside had gradually darkened.
Once home, Rong Yan first took Little Baby for a bath, then carried the little guy to bed, and read him a story to lull him to sleep. Only after that did she leave the child’s room, massaging her sore shoulders as she went.
“Li Shengxiao, why are you still awake?” As soon as she came out, she was surprised to see that the person who should have been lying down asleep was still up in the living room.
The man who had been waiting for her all night put down the book in his hands, stood up from the sofa, and walked toward Rong Yan with his long strides. Standing at 185 cm, he naturally held a towering presence. He reached out his arms and in a blink, Rong Yan was forcefully pressed against his embrace. The intense masculine scent of his hormones hit her face, domineering as if it sought to claim her every breath.
“What’s wrong?” Rong Yan, suddenly cornered at the entrance, was a bit slow to react. Her fair complexion, fresh from the bath and without makeup, gave her delicate brows and eyes an extraordinary sense of purity and tenderness.
Her features were bold and striking, to the extent that even Estelle had said that a mere glance from her carried a natural charm, a kind that Rong Weiwei’s meticulous makeup could never emulate.
At this moment, her apricot eyes were slightly open, each lash clearly defined, and her large, dark, and bright eyes looked crystal clear, almost as if she were 18 again.
Even her skin was so delicate that not a pore could be seen.
Li Shengxiao’s breath was filled with the natural scent of the woman’s bath products, fresh and pleasant. His hawk-like eyes darkened inch by inch, “Are you keeping something from me?”
Rong Yan’s heart skipped a beat, her gaze towards him slightly flustered, “Uh, why would you suddenly ask that? I haven’t been.”
“You’ve been distracted all night, your mind wandered six times, including when you were choosing pajamas for Duidui. That’s not like you.”
Rong Yan always paid close attention to Little Baby’s matters and rarely lost focus when with him. Yet today, she had been distracted, and she hadn’t even realized it herself.
Li Shengxiao couldn’t help but take note, narrowing his eyes.
“Why?”
Besides being absent-minded and distracted tonight, what concerned him the most was that she had continually and inadvertently avoided his gaze, as if deliberately trying to keep out of his sight!
This feeling was unpleasant, very unpleasant!
He demanded a reason!
Cornered, Rong Yan breathed in nothing but his air, hesitated for a moment, then lifted her head to meet the man’s intense and compelling gaze. Biting her lip, she said, “Li Shengxiao, have you ever made a promise to another girl?”
“What promise?” The distinguished man’s brow furrowed deeply, as if he could crush a fly.
Faced with his genuinely clueless expression, Rong Yan didn’t know how to broach the subject, “I mean… a very important promise, the extremely important kind.”
Marriage was certainly important; what else could be more so!
But how was she to ask about his fiancée without betraying the old master?
Rong Yan felt like her head might explode.
After much thought, she only managed to come up with this.
“Think carefully, do you know a girl who is very important to you?”
Li Shengxiao’s hawk-like eyes stared straight at her, as if trying to see something deep within her eyes; his handsome face grew serious as he let go of her shoulders, “No. Besides you, I don’t know anyone important like you’re describing.”
