My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1185: Don’t Like Red Wine at All

Chu Xi was so enchanted upon hearing that, she almost lost her sense of reality. Fortunately, she still had some wits about her and managed to tear her gaze away from the man’s captivating profile. Her cheeks flushed slightly, but thankfully, the dim lighting in the room helped conceal her thoughts.

"You don’t like red wine? That’s okay, brandy is just as good. I just didn’t expect you wouldn’t like it, which surprises me."

While she spoke, she edged closer to Li Shengxiao without noticeable trace.

She moved subtly, but Li Shengxiao, unaware of her stealthy approach, was only thinking about getting rid of her quickly. "I never said I liked red wine."

Meaning, he had no clue where Chu Xi had heard that he liked red wine.

Chu Xi almost blurted out that she had seen in the news that he liked red wine, but she caught herself. Realizing this man was so low-profile, there was a high chance that the information online was fabricated by reporters.

Realizing she was deceived, she gritted her teeth in frustration.

She had put a lot of effort into getting the red wine she now held, even going as far as taking lessons about it, hoping to appeal to his interests. All for naught!

"Yes, is that so?" Her smile was a bit strained, but she didn’t dwell on the matter.

She clinked glasses with Li Shengxiao and slowly finished the wine in her cup.

While drinking, she continuously sought new topics to discuss with Li Shengxiao.

Initially, Li Shengxiao humored her, hiding his impatience and responded sporadically.

Eventually, seeing Chu Xi seemed in no hurry to leave, his expression slowly turned impatient, cutting her off abruptly, "Miss Chu, it’s late, I need to rest."

"Is it late?" Chu Xi feigned ignorance, glanced at her watch, and raised her head, showcasing her fair wrist, "It’s only ten, hardly late. Normally, the nightlife just starts at this time. Mr. Li isn’t a child, needing to go to bed so early."

Li Shengxiao’s brow furrowed deeply, his piercing gaze seemingly able to see through her pretense, "Miss Chu, you wouldn’t stay here without a reason. You can just say it."

There was no need to beat around the bush. Apart from the physical attraction, he never had patience for women!

On the surface, Chu Xi managed to look composed and met his sharp gaze squarely, but inside, her heart was in complete turmoil.

She closely observed his reactions, anxiously pursing her lips, and with a tilt of her head, she finished the rest of the wine in one gulp, then suddenly said, "It’s nothing serious, I just wanted to chat with you."

Li Shengxiao’s brows knotted even more.

Before he could speak, Chu Xi took the initiative, throwing out a significant statement with a wandering look in her bright eyes, "Li Shengxiao, what if I said I regretted it, that I no longer want to cooperate with you, would you send me away?"

"What do you mean?"

Her abrupt statement, lacking context, was confusing.

With her eyes fixed on him again, Chu Xi boldly placed her glass down and took a step forward, "I’m saying that after spending over a week with you, I’ve found myself becoming attracted to you. I don’t know when it started. Feelings are mysterious like that, sometimes just a sensation, and when it clicks, things can get quite strange and illogical. My feelings for you have developed, what do you plan to do about it?"
