Chapter 390: 390: Mainly Wanting to See Her
Even though it had only been ten hours since they’d been apart, it felt like a very long time since he had last seen her. The impulse to tie her to his side, to carry her with him all the time, made it impossible for him to concentrate on work!
He had never thought there would be a woman in this world who could make him crave her so deeply, unable to control himself. Not until he met her did he realize that truly liking someone was like being poisoned every smile, every frown of that person filled his eyes, his heart!
Even if that person was out of his sight for just a bit longer, he couldn’t focus on anything else.
He just wanted to see her!
To hug her!
To kiss her!
To have her beneath him in bed and take her fiercely!
“Oh.” Rong Yan hadn’t thought that much and assumed he had really finished his work. After pondering a moment, she took the initiative and suggested, “Since it’s just the two of us tonight, how about we go out to eat?”
Li Shengxiao would never decline any of her suggestions, agreeing without even asking what she wanted to eat, “Sure.”
“What do you want to eat?”
“Me?” Rong Yan smacked her lips, her clear, black and white eyes suddenly looking at him, “I’d like to try a trendy self-service seafood place. Do you want to give it a try?”
Worried he might not be interested, she took the time to introduce it further, “That place is very famous online, good quality and affordable. There’s a lot of variety to eat. Apart from seafood, there’s also steak, fruit, ice cream, and coffee—plenty of food!”
The term “good quality and affordable” was purely described to match his standards, otherwise, more than three hundred per person was definitely a huge expense for her current ‘broke’ financial situation!
Although Rong Yan wanted to try it, she still spoke the truth, “The only downside is that it might be crowded. I didn’t know Little Baby wasn’t home and thought you’d be coming home late, so I was considering taking Little Baby there…”
She remembered what Cui Jiangjing had warned her about, that this man disliked noisy environments because they could trigger his headaches. Thinking it over, and before Li Shengxiao could say whether they would go or not, she decided against it, “Never mind. Let’s not go there. I’ll make plans to go with Xixi and the others some other time. Let’s have steak tonight. Do you have a preferred place to eat? It’s my treat!”
Having resolved her biggest concern, her mood was particularly good, allowing her to treat him exceptionally well just this once, “But let me be clear, we can’t go to any of those super, super expensive places you normally visit. Just an ordinary steak—no, a place that’s a bit better than ordinary is fine.”
A thousand or so per person should be enough to get a decent steak.
But the top chefs and top ingredients Li Shengxiao usually enjoyed were out of the question.
She estimated having a filet mignon with him could bankrupt her!
After all, she had only a little over 6000 in total. If he ate a meal costing over ten thousand, she’d be left washing dishes in the restaurant to pay off the debt.
So a place slightly better than average was still within her budget, but his usual dining standard was simply out of the question—as if she had never offered to treat.
“Have you decided what you want to eat tonight? Once you decide, we can leave; I’m starving,” Rong Yan touched her flattened stomach, feeling hungrier the more she spoke.
Before he could speak, she rattled off a long string of thoughts. With someone else, he might have found it irritating, but with her, he didn’t feel annoyed at all—in fact, hearing her natural voice strangely made his mood lift.
