My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1129 - 1130: I Also Want to Give Her a Surprise

He had just stepped out when the phone by Li Shengxiao’s side beeped twice with a new message coming in.

He picked up the phone, clicked on the message, and glanced down; his profound profile softened like blooming spring flowers as he undid the top button of his collar, tugged at the opening, then stood and took his phone to the window to make a call. freewёbnoνel.com

"Hello?"

It took seven or eight rings before the person on the other end picked up languidly.

"Hello?" The voice of the little woman just waking up came through, nasally and groggy, with a husky tone from sleepiness.

Li Shengxiao felt the temperature of his blood starting to heat up. Holding the phone, he pressed it to his ear and began with a low and hoarse voice, "Haven’t gotten out of bed yet?"

Rong Yan held a toothbrush in one hand, a tube of toothpaste in the other, and her phone wedged between her shoulder and ear. She tilted her head to set down the toothpaste, took a mouthful of water, then spit it back out and mumbled while brushing, "I’m up, I replied to your message, didn’t you see it?"

Her voice was muffled and unclear. Leaning against the side of the window, Li Shengxiao switched the phone to his other hand, his eagle eyes seemed to hold the entire starry sky, "What are you doing?"

"Brushing my teeth and washing my face." Rong Yan spoke with difficulty through a mouthful of white foam, trying to have a conversation on the phone, "By the way, what time did you leave this morning? I had no idea; why didn’t you wake me up?"

"Seven-thirty. It was too early, and seeing you sleeping so soundly, I didn’t call you."

"Oh." The little woman’s voice held a tinge of disappointment; after a pause, she said, "Next time you can wake me up. It’s no big deal; I can send you off, then come back and catch up on sleep. Otherwise, I don’t even know when you’ve left for your business trip."

This was, after all, her first experience with his business travels. He had always stayed in Capital City before and never went anywhere, and as time went by, she almost forgot that he could go on business trips.

But Rong Yan was quite open about it. As the head of Li Group, a multinational business conglomerate like Li Shengxiao, it was normal for him to travel frequently, even flying back and forth every day. It was actually more unusual for him to have spent the last half a year to a year with regular working hours from nine to five.

Dating is one thing; certainly, in the beginning, there’s a passion, and you don’t want to be apart.

But life is life, and since she had decided to be honest with her feelings and be with him, she would accept all that came with him.

Like being a decision-maker for a multinational company means Li Shengxiao could be very busy; he might not have as much time to spend with her. She would learn to accept all of that.

Li Shengxiao had assumed that she would complain about him not telling her about the business trip in advance, or being unhappy about his sudden departure. He had been ready to explain it to her.

But she hadn’t mentioned any of that; instead, she complained about not having had the chance to see him off. This made him even more tender-hearted than if she had been acting whimsically upset. He had just arranged to stay here for a week, and in just ten minutes, he already regretfully wished he had discussed with Susan if it would be possible to go to Capital City for his treatment.

He half-closed his eyes, his gaze as gentle as water, filled with affection, "Next time, I’ll take you with me."

This time, it was just a trial to see if Susan really had the ability to control the frequency of his genetic illness using the desensitization treatment she mentioned.

If it worked, they could use it for Little Baby in the future. That way, she wouldn’t have to worry about father and son anymore.
