My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 175: 175: Has he been drinking?

Li Shengxiao flicked his wine glass gently, causing ripples to fan out through the red wine. He appeared calm, as if it were no surprise at all that Rong Yan could quickly capture the attention of others.

Some people are naturally gifted with the ability to draw the eyes of others, and Rong Yan just happened to be one of them!

“Haha, this is the first time I’ve heard you openly praise someone like that. And a woman at that. But your girlfriend really isn’t like what I imagined. She’s much more stunning than I thought!” Fu Yi also raised his glass for a toast, clinked glasses with him, then finished his drink before smiling and saying, “At first, I thought she had the personality of a little girl. Turns out, she’s the complete opposite of what I expected.”

A “little girl” was actually a euphemism he used; in reality, he initially thought Rong Yan was the kind of woman who would cling to his friend shamelessly after bearing a child from a one-night stand. As for her personality, it leaned toward what’s popularly called “silly and sweet.” Now, it seemed completely different.

Such a self-assured and soaring woman, even in plain clothes, would not shrink in a crowd. Instead, faced with people’s curiosity, she was able to confidently showcase her own strengths and advantages. Indeed, very different!

Seeing Li Shengxiao down another glass of wine, Fu Yi’s smile deepened in his eyes.

On one hand, he marveled that his friend had finally found a woman to captivate his heart; on the other, he sighed for Shen Siyuan.

With Shengxiao’s reaction, he must have really been attracted to the girl named Rong Yan. It seemed there was no hope for Siyuan…

Two hours later, Rong Yan had exchanged mobile numbers and WeChat IDs with the producer who had first approached her, and left the villa together with Li Shengxiao.

Once they were in the car, Rong Yan realized the strong scent of alcohol on his breath.

“Li Shengxiao, have you been drinking?” The distinguished man was pressing his temples with his fingers, looking quite uncomfortable. She frowned, touched his forehead, and said, “Let me see. Ouch, you’re burning up. How much did you drink?”

“A few glasses.” Even though he felt unwell, he leaned back in his seat and half-closed his eyes as he replied to Rong Yan.

“I don’t believe you!” A few glasses and his face is all red?

Li Shengxiao’s stomach cramped, and he winced in pain but did not explain. He really had only had a few glasses, but he had also been drinking at noon, mixing several types of strong liquor, which was why his stomach began to protest unhappily.

Sitting in the front, Gu Ming heard their conversation and, out of concern, observed the man’s complexion through the rearview mirror, asking, “Mr. Li, where shall we go now?”

“Back to Dihor Garden. I still have some documents to finish!” Li Shengxiao pinched the bridge of his nose and sat up straight, giving orders casually.

Rong Yan disagreed, speaking firmly, “No, just drive around aimlessly for now, and see if there’s any pharmacy open nearby. If you spot a pharmacy, please stop the car; I’ll go down and buy some medicine. Then we can head over to your company’s vicinity.”

Li Shengxiao, for the first time ever, did not refuse her plan and just quietly opened his eyes to look at her.

Rong Yan let him look, her profile resolute, “Please, listen to me. His stomach is upset; he needs to take some hangover remedy right away. Otherwise, his stomach will only get more irritated in the future…”

Gu Ming, also worried about Li Shengxiao’s health, gritted his teeth and stepped on the gas, “Understood, Miss Rong.”

Seeing him looking for a nearby pharmacy, Rong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, only to suddenly find her hand clasped. She turned her head without surprise to meet a pair of deep, captivating eyes, “Yanyan, do you care about me?”

Rong Yan glared at him, tacitly affirming, “Otherwise what? I care about my boyfriend. Is that not allowed?”

Li Shengxiao looked at her deeply, the light in his eyes dimming by shades.

It wasn’t that it wasn’t allowed, but her concern for him made him wish he could take her back with him, to bed, to hear her keenly express her care!
