Chapter 1318: I Only Want You (16)
“Why didn’t you go back with them?”
An Xiaoning hollered, “Because I saw you entering this restaurant. Why can’t you eat at home? Why must you come here for a meal!?!”
“Am I not allowed to come out for a meal occasionally?”
“Of course you are, but the point is, it’s only ten o’clock right now. Are you hungry already?”
“I can’t control when my hunger strikes.”
An Xiaoning asked, “What would you like to eat? Place your order.”
“My date is not here yet. I’ll order later.”
“You asked someone out for a meal? Who?” An Xiaoning asked.
“Does it concern you?”
“...”
An Xiaoning could sense that he was boiling with fury. How did I even provoke him in any way?
What a lunatic.
The two of them fell silent.
An Xiaoning rested her chin on her hands and kept her eyes fixed onto him.
Feeling extremely uncomfortable about the way that she was staring at him, he quickly looked out of the window.
Ten minutes later, Li Baozhen arrived.
Upon the sight of her, An Xiaoning’s heart sank. “You’re here, Ms. Li. Take a seat.”
Li Baozhen did not expect that An Xiaoning would be present too. She smiled and said, “Thank you. I was rather shocked to receive a call from Brother Qingyan all of a sudden. I didn’t expect him to ask me out for a meal. It so happens that I have the day off today.”
“Oh, I see. Qingyan just wanted to ask you out for a meal to ask about how you’ve been doing because he had been too busy to see you lately. After all, you’re his benefactor and he’ll always remember your kindness.”
“I’m doing fine. I’ve been going to work and having my meals regularly. I stay in my room after work and go out to take a breather occasionally.”
Henry handed her the menu and said, “Order whatever you’d like to eat.”
“Alright.”
Li Baozhen selected a few dishes before handing the menu to An Xiaoning. However, An Xiaoning did not order anything because she wasn’t hungry.
An awkward silence filled the air as neither of them knew what to talk about.
At this moment, An Xiaoning said to Henry out of the blue, “I want a second baby.”
“!!!”
The four other people immediately stared at her.
Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang chuckled while Li Baozhen remained silent, feeling extremely awkward.
Henry had no idea how to answer her.
If they were alone, he would have brushed her off by saying, “Go have a baby on your own.”
However, there were people around.
Thus, he had no choice but to say, “I happen to have that in mind too. Let’s talk about it properly when we get home.”
They had unknowingly rubbed salt into the wounds of the three singletons.
An Xiaoning understood that he did not know about the fact that it was near-impossible for her to conceive again, for he did not experience the things that she and Jin Qingyan had been through and, thus, did not have any recollection of them.
She gently extended her leg toward him and hooked it around his.
Henry froze in shock and looked at her menacingly. He knew that it was definitely not Li Baozhen since she was sitting right beside him.
After the dishes were served, An Xiaoning took a few bites and stopped eating.
When she grabbed a serviette to wipe her mouth, she dropped it onto the ground by accident. She then bent forward to pick it up and groped Henry’s leg at the same time.
Henry was filled with anger.
How dare she flirt with me when we’re in public?
She even winked at him after picking up the serviette.
Yet, he still had to remain seated calmly and act as if nothing had happened at all.
He did not feel great at all throughout the rest of the meal.
When they were done eating, he said to her, “Get inside the car with Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang. I’d like to have a few words with Baozhen in private.”
Not wanting to embarrass him, An Xiaoning agreed, “Sure.”
The three of them soon left the restaurant.
After watching them get inside the car, he turned around and said to Li Baozhen, “Stay in the office and perform your duties well. Take the time to visit your parents whenever you’re free. If you need help with work, seek assistance from Xiaoning or Chief Fan. Got it?”
“Brother Qingyan, you already said that to me before I started working at the office. Are you going on a business trip again?”
Henry answered, “Yeah, I’m always away on business trips and won’t be in A City much.”
Staring at him, Li Baozhen asked, “Brother Qingyan, why do I have a feeling that you’re going to go to a faraway place and never return?”
He said, “Let’s go. Xiaoning and the rest are waiting for us. I’ll send you back to the office.”
“Alright.”
After dropping Li Baozhen off at the office, they drove back to Wei Ni Estate...
The silence continued all the way until he parked the car inside the garage.
Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai alighted, followed by the two of them.
They only spoke to each other when they returned upstairs.
An Xiaoning asked, “What did you say to her when we were in the car?”
“Some shameless things that shouldn’t be heard by others.”
“...”
Finding him to be acting strangely, An Xiaoning asked, “What’s the matter with you?”
“Nothing.” He lifted the duvet and lay down before closing his eyes, not wishing to speak to her at all.
An Xiaoning inched forward, kicked her shoes off, and knelt on the bed to look at him. “Henry, you promised to give me a second child when we were at the restaurant today.”
“Couldn’t you tell that I was just trying not to embarrass you?”
Gazing at him, An Xiaoning said, “You’ve changed. You’re no longer that Henry who detests me. You didn’t even care about giving me face in the past.”
He squinted at her and said, “An Xiaoning, I want you to promise me something.”
“Will you make a baby with me if I agree?”
“...”
She continued, “Fine, tell me what it’s about first.”
“From now on, I hope he’ll still greet Baozhen like I do whenever I’m not around. I want him to visit Baozhen’s parents too, even if it’s just once a year.”
“What if he doesn’t?” An Xiaoning asked.
“He will. He does whatever you tell him to.”
An Xiaoning was on the verge of losing her mind. Staring at his alluring and captivating gaze, she wished she could devour him.
“I know you don’t want to get intimate with me at all, but strangely, I really want to get intimate with you right now. I’ll promise you if you let me kiss you just once.”
“...”
“Forget it if you don’t want to let me kiss you.”
Just as she was about to return to her usual spot on her bed, he caught her by surprise with his answer. “Just a peck,” he said.
Hence, she straddled him and lowered her head to plant a deep kiss onto his lips. It was too late for Henry to back out now. How is this just a peck?
She’s getting my hormones all worked up.
When she finally let go of him, Henry stared at her and felt as if he could no longer move.
