My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1182: Rong Yan’s Phone Call Came Through

One of them is Lin Zhiya.

The other is Rong Yan!

When he saw the caller ID, sure enough, it was Rong Yan’s name flashing.

The icy composure covering Li Shengxiao’s handsome face seemed to break as his aura softened, making Chu Xi frown repeatedly.

"Could it be your girlfriend? At this late hour, she isn’t sleeping? And she’s calling you."

As she spoke, she didn’t even consider how she herself had just barged in.

Unable to control her emotional tone, however, Li Shengxiao acted as if she didn’t exist, picking up the phone and answering, "Hello."

Rong Yan, unaware of the uninvited guest in his room, had just finished bathing and was lazily sprawled on the bed, browsing news on her laptop while calling him, "Are you done with work? That was quick today."

The past few days he had been ’busy’ until eleven before he got time to message her back.

Today, she just tried calling on a whim and didn’t expect it to go through immediately.

Li Shengxiao heard the lazy, husky voice on the other end, guessing she had just showered, and felt a warmth in his chest, his voice growing even lower and richer, "Yeah, today was the last day; it ended a bit early."

As she listened to his voice, as smooth as piano notes, Rong Yan felt her heartbeat quicken and her cheeks begin to heat up, without even looking at her laptop anymore, she focused all her attention on the phone call, "The last day? So you’re coming back tomorrow? Are you coming back in the morning or evening? I’ll have Nanny Wang buy the dishes you like, and remember to call me before you come back so I can prepare the food with Mrs. Lin."

He had been away for a week, and it surely wasn’t as convenient as home. Plus, as a workaholic with no one overseeing him, who knew if he managed to eat properly outside? She must replenish his body when he returns.

Chicken soup is a must!

Not only did she arrange the chicken soup, she also didn’t forget the matter that was on her mind, "Right, did you see the message I sent you?"

Li Shengxiao recalled the message she had sent about missing him, his sharp eyes softened further, seemingly shining with a gentle light, which made Chu Xi bite her lips tight, nearly letting out a noise. In the end, reason triumphed over impulse, and she forcibly held back.

She stared with wide eyes at the man who had been so cold to her just moments ago, now chatting on the phone with a tender expression and half-closed eyes.

Just listening to the man’s conversation, one could tell they were discussing mundane topics.

Yet, such dull topics didn’t seem to bother the man who valued every moment, totally engrossed as if he had forgotten her presence in the room...

After being stuck at the door earlier, Chu Xi felt as if she had been slapped in the face once again.

That feeling of frustration and indignation burned like fire within her, scorching her very insides, yet there was nothing she could do about it.

As she watched the man she shared accommodations with smiling slightly, the never-ending phone call unfolded, Chu Xi finally couldn’t hold back and spoke up, "Your girlfriend?"

As soon as she finished speaking, his gaze turned as cold as midwinter, instantly fixing on her. Chu Xi shivered, her mind clearing significantly, nailed to the spot, unable to move, as if she had fallen into an icehouse. She wanted to explain her impulsive behavior just now, but Li Shengxiao didn’t give her the chance, striding away with long steps, while softly speaking to the person on the phone and distancing himself from her.
