Chapter 230: Chapter 230: My Boyfriend
Translator: 549690339
Rong Yan was still wondering what message to send, holding her cell phone, typing, then deleting, deleting, then typing again, repeating the process several times. Completely immersed in her little world, she hadn’t noticed the changes outside. So, she had no idea that the very person she was puzzled about for not answering her calls was standing only a few meters away…
“Do you want to buy something, or…?”
“What do you want to buy? I can get it for you.”
“We are looking for someone.”
“Looking for someone? There’s no one here besides me. Who are you looking for?”
“Looking for…”
The owner of the small shop’s voice trembled as he tried to maintain his composure.
Rong Yan finally snapped out of her little world and turned her head to look toward the door. When she saw the man standing at the entrance, her jaw almost dropped in shock!
“Li Shengxiao?”
How did he find this place?
Gu Ming saw the casually elegant woman wearing a duckbill cap and had no idea that, because she had ‘disappeared’, the outside world had been turned upside down in search of her.
Phew! Thank goodness~! We’ve finally found Miss Rong!
He stealthily glanced at the man next to him and silently shut his mouth, pretending to be a part of the background.
“Do you know each other?” The owner of the small shop finally recovered from his shock, asking with extreme surprise.
Rong Yan hadn’t had the chance to answer him when “ding” went the message alert on the tall, statuesque man’s phone.
Li Shengxiao picked up his phone and glanced down at it.
[Why aren’t you answering your phone? Are you busy? Or did you not see your phone? Li Shengxiao, are you mad at me? I went out to get something to eat and didn’t notice my phone was out of battery. Please don’t be mad, okay? Where are you? I’ll come back right now.]
The sender was the very person he had spent the afternoon trying to find!
His dark eyes were deep, like a bottomless whirlpool, giving nothing away about his emotions.
Rong Yan heard his phone ring and saw that he was looking at the text message she had just sent. She awkwardly explained to the shop owner with a mix of embarrassment and awkwardness, “Yes, he is my boyfriend.”
He is my boyfriend.
Her voice was crisp and earnest, like a clear spring that soothed his restless heart of the afternoon.
Gu Ming saw his boss’s expression gradually soften and was no longer surprised.
Anyway, Miss Rong was the boss’s Achilles’ heel, it was right to dote on her!
The shop owner couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked back and forth between the plain-faced Rong Yan and the man who exuded nobility with just one glance. Looking at Rong Yan again, he seemed to doubt his eyes, “He’s the boyfriend you had a quarrel with?”
The boyfriend she had quarreled with!
Rong Yan’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling a tangible gaze upon her, she hastily explained, “That’s not the case, we didn’t have a fight.”
“You didn’t have a fight but didn’t answer the phone?” the shop owner muttered under his breath.
Rong Yan gave in to his ability to pour oil on the fire, “He must not have heard it.”
The owner had just seen Li Shengxiao take out his phone and read the text message. He wouldn’t believe such a flimsy excuse. But it wasn’t his place to comment on the couple’s quarrel, especially since the man clearly wasn’t ordinary. Even though he knew Rong Yan was blatantly lying, he had to play dumb, “I see. Now that your boyfriend has come to pick you up, you should go with him quickly. It’s late, and for all you know, your boyfriend might not have had the chance to eat dinner yet because he was looking for you.”
