Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Done So Quickly?

With the noisy voices no longer by his ear, the world quieted down.

He stretched out his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, then turned back to glance at the pile of files on his office desk and put his phone back.

He had just ended the meeting and couldn’t possibly call everyone back to continue now.

Since no plan was finalized, doing anything else would be a waste of time. Li Shengxiao naturally walked out after opening the door to his study

If Cui Jiangjing were here, he would definitely complain again—no matter if there was work or not, whenever Rong Yan was around, then there was no work!

In the living room, Rong Yan had just finished taking a bath and started a round of gaming.

While she was gleefully dominating in the game, she suddenly felt a gaze on her from behind. Distracted, her hands couldn’t keep up, and the opponent took the chance to ambush her.

The character who had just been steamrolling noobs gloriously collapsed in the bushes, and the enemy, probably devastated by her previous kills, shamefully stomped on her “corpse” twice to vent their frustration.

“Damn it!”

Rong Yan wished she could rise and fight another five hundred years.

But there was nothing she could do about being shot in the head—it was what it was, even if it was frustrating!

Just one more person, she would have wiped the whole team and secured the victory.

So close to victory—it was torturing!

Resigned, she watched the person who had sniped her hold up the trophy, stopping in annoyance. She turned back to the person who had suddenly appeared behind her, the cause of her losing the game, “Li Shengxiao, are you done with work?”

That fast?

She had thought he would be working overtime until 12 o’clock tonight.

Wasn’t it just a little after ten now?

The man who had ended the meeting midway didn’t even bat an eyelid as he nonchalantly “hmm’d,” leaving Rong Yan stunned.

From the time she had delivered medicine to him to after she took a bath, at most an hour had passed. He had finished all his work in just one hour—wasn’t his work efficiency terrifying?

Looking at the man who had finished his overtime sooner than she had expected, then glancing back longingly at the game she had only played one round of, she hesitated, ” Why don’t you get some water, take a break?”

She had died too miserably and couldn’t bear it—she wanted to win it back!

The tall and proud man, however, did not act as she hoped but moved closer to her and sat down next to her, speaking in a low voice, “What are you playing?”

Rong Yan saw the team that had just butchered her inviting her again. Faced with their blatant provocation, she was eager to jump back in for revenge. Without looking up, she explained to him, “It’s a game. A shooting game with super simple rules—just avoid getting assassinated and survive until the last moment to win. It’s really popular right now; lots of people are playing it. Do you want to try a round?”

When she was abroad, she had done everything, including working as a game live streamer.

But after returning to China, she hadn’t used her account for a long time.

Because she was too excited to sleep tonight and couldn’t find anything to pass the time, it was then she thought of playing a game.

Rong Yan had just politely asked, without really expecting this man to play. After all, with Li Shengxiao’s stature, playing games—such a waste of time and life—certainly wouldn’t interest him!

But she never expected

“Sure.”

“Uh ” Rong Yan, who had only invited him casually, silently made room for him and resignedly said, “You really want to play? Alright, I’ll sit next to you and tell you how to do it.”

Li Shengxiao took the seat she had just vacated, his dark eyes scanning her pink laptop. He used to dislike such flamboyant colors the most. Now, for some reason, he found it quite cute.
