Chapter 553: Chapter 553: There is not even a single message
Rong Yan had just happened to see him playing the game; she didn’t mean to blame him. Seeing that he was so frightened that his face turned pale, her heart ached terribly. She quickly patted his head to comfort him, “Mommy isn’t angry. Mommy was just asking if you want to play Contra together. I remember this game seems to have a multiplayer mode that we can play together. Does it still have it now?”

Li Duidui had initially been scared that Rong Yan would be angry with him for playing a shooting game at such a young age. When he noticed that Rong Yan wasn’t actually angry, he observed her with his grape-like big eyes nervously for a moment. Once he was sure she wasn’t angry, his complexion gradually improved, “Yes.”

Rong Yan knew he was still afraid that she was angry, so she took out her phone proactively, saying, “Then I’ll download it, and after I sign up and add you as a friend, we can team up and play together, right?”

It seemed like Li Shengxiao had entered the army at the age of 12; his shooting skills must be decent. Considering that Duidui’s maternal grandfather also used guns, it wasn’t unlikely that Little Baby had inherited it in his bones.

Besides, it’s perfectly normal for boys to like shooting games. She knew her precious child was not like ordinary kids; he had been much smarter since he was young.

She had never thought to constrain Little Baby’s intelligence. As long as the things he liked weren’t illegal and there were no issues with his personality, just playing games was something she totally supported.

After Rong Yan had downloaded the game app, she deliberately sought the little guy’s help on how to operate it, and sure enough, in no time at all, the little guy had forgotten all his previous worries and slowly got absorbed in the game.

Seeing his bright, shiny eyes, Rong Yan also felt her mood lifting, and she devoted herself to the important work of playing the game with her son…

Elsewhere, Li Shengxiao was still unaware they had come.

Having just finished an important meeting, he took a break and leaned back in his swivel chair, lifting a hand to pinch the bridge of his high nose and closing his eyes to rest for a moment.

“Mr. Li, your coffee.” The assistant, moving softly and quietly, brought in the freshly brewed coffee. Seeing that he was resting with his eyes closed, the assistant didn’t dare to disturb him. After setting down the coffee, the assistant carefully exited, closing the office door behind him.

A full five minutes later, the man in deep contemplation finally opened his eyes, revealing a pair of deep and sharp eagle-like eyes. After a short break, he reopened the materials for the next meeting. He had only read one line when his gaze halted.

Rong Yan’s name stood out to him on that line of pencil writing.

It was supposed to say “easy,” but in his eyes, it seemed to transform into Rong Yan.

Rong Yan… Li Shengxiao’s focused attention instantly crumbled. He leaned his head on his left hand, his fingertips brushing over the character for Rong on the document.

He wondered if that little woman still had a stomachache today…

She hadn’t called, so she must be alright.

But that little woman always had the type to swallow her own broken teeth and not complain. Even if her stomach did hurt, she probably wouldn’t act coy with him.

Li Shengxiao took a deep breath and suddenly felt that he couldn’t focus on the materials in front of him anymore!

He rarely allowed himself to be distracted during work, but whenever that particular name came up, he just couldn’t help himself!

All his pride in his self-control would be shattered cleanly!

He withdrew his gaze and picked up his phone from the side.

There were no missed calls or unread messages on the phone, silent as if it didn’t exist.
