Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Give Her a Bouquet of Iris
“Mom, is that wrong? Is Mr. Butler the big bad man’s dad?”
Seeing the confusion in his twinkling eyes, Rong Yan immediately interrupted him, “No, your dad has his own dad. It’s just that his dad turned into a star a long time ago.”
Little Baby didn’t quite understand what it meant to become a star, but he picked up on the important part in Rong Yan’s words. His eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and his pretty little face couldn’t help but become tense, “Will Daddy turn into a star, and will the big bad man turn into a star too?”
“That… is a completely different matter.” Rong Yan couldn’t explain the issue of life and death to a 5-year-old child, and could only say, “Everyone turns into a star, but you don’t have to worry, your dad won’t turn into a star anytime soon.”
Li Duidui pursed his pink little lips, then immediately turned his head away, looking as if he didn’t care at all, “I’m not worried!”
Meanwhile, his mood was clearly affected, and he occasionally zoned out, lost in his thoughts.
Little Baby had come over and delayed Rong Yan’s phone call so much that she hadn’t even had the chance to call, and the person she was waiting for had already arrived.
The black Lincoln was low-key and luxurious because its appearance looked no different from that of a regular private car. Those who didn’t recognize the emblem wouldn’t even notice it.
Gu Ming got out of the car first, greeted Rong Yan with a “Good evening, Miss Rong,”
then ran quickly around to the back of the car and respectfully opened the door.
An astonishingly handsome man with long strides and an upright figure emerged from the car. He had come straight from Li Group today and hadn’t changed out of his work suit; the blazer hung casually over his arm, wearing only a white shirt with suit pants. This simple and casual outfit, worn on him, managed to exude an air of distinguished grace as if a breeze carried the force of thunder—impossible to ignore!
People found it difficult to look away!
“How did you all get here?” Seeing that he had arrived, Rong Yan remembered embarrassingly that she had been so entangled by Little Baby that she had forgotten to call him to ask about the reservation, and said awkwardly, “Um, Shengxiao, I just asked the owner, and she said the shop was booked out today. Was it you? If not, we’ll have to go somewhere else to eat.”
Gu Ming showed an indescribable expression on the side, stealing a glance at the dignified and handsome man before hurriedly looking down to avoid being spotted.
Who on earth taught the CEO how to date? Giving flowers and booking an entire sour and spicy noodle restaurant. The flowers, well, the type was a bit creative, but still, it was giving flowers. But booking a sour and spicy noodle restaurant for a date? He was almost thirty and it was the first time he had seen such a thing.
Li Shengxiao hadn’t noticed his stealthy glance and just ‘hmm’ed in affirmation that he had indeed booked the sour and spicy noodle restaurant. Then, he took out a bouquet from the car and stuffed it into Rong Yan’s hands, “For you.”
Rong Yan received the bouquet unexpectedly, pausing in shock. Then, looking at the delicate flowers in her hand, her expression almost mirrored Gu Ming’s. “Are you sure this bouquet is for me?”
Why was Li Shengxiao giving her a bouquet of irises?
Irises represent pure friendship and are normally exchanged among friends of the same sex. What was he implying by giving her a bouquet of irises out of the blue?
“Cui Jiangjing said you would like it!” Li Shengxiao faintly sensed that Rong Yan’s reaction was not the surprised delight of a girl receiving flowers from her boyfriend, as Cui Jiangjing had described. His brow furrowed, and Cui Jiangjing was betrayed.
