BXBX NOVEL Chapter 112 - 112: He’s awesome, stakes his life!
If Cui Jiangjing could hear her thoughts, he’d definitely jump up.
What bullcrap!
As for meals, she thought it’d be strange if that man ever remembered them on his own!
Unfortunately, he couldn’t hear Rong Yan’s inner voice.
Li Shengxiao took off his coat and carried the full-bellied Little Baby into the secondary bedroom to settle him down before he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him, “Went out for a bite.”
Cui Jiangjing felt like his hair was standing on end as he glared at Rong Yan and him as if he was looking at a heartless scoundrel, “Damn it, what did you guys eat?” Not inviting him! Friendship over!
Li Shengxiao casually glanced at him, his eyes unfriendly.
Cui Jiangjing immediately sensed from his gaze the ‘when did I ever need to report to you’ vibe, feeling both frustrated and not daring to question further. His expression became even more aggrieved.
Good thing Rong Yan was there, who answered his question, “Nothing much, just had a bowl of hot and sour noodles.”
“Hot and sour noodles? What the hell is that? He went with you to eat hot and sour noodles? No way, isn’t he…” Shengxiao doesn’t eat spicy, right?
“When did you become so noisy?” Li Shengxiao cut him off before he could finish.
“I…” Cui Jiangjing was baffled and felt like he was being lectured for no reason. He wanted to argue back but didn’t dare expose the fact that certain people get a stomach ache from eating spicy food. If he didn’t argue, it felt as if he was bearing an unjustified label of a noisy gossip and that vexed him even more.
Forget it, other people woo their wives with money—he was awesome, wooing with his life! He couldn’t afford to provoke, so couldn’t he just shut up? Anyway, it wasn’t his business if the stomach ache came.
That’s what he thought, but he couldn’t help making a snarky comment, “It’s just that it’s the first time I’ve heard that you like this kind of common snack, that’s why I am surprised. I thought you were picky and would only eat food made by famous chefs. Looks like you have your down-to-earth moments.”
“Um, I didn’t think he was picky, is he very picky?” Rong Yan was as puzzled as a Monk scratching his head.
Li Shengxiao’s eyes narrowed, sweeping over the big-mouthed individual.
Damn, he suddenly felt that Ring Island was lacking a doctor, and Cui Jiangjing would be perfect!
Perhaps sensing the chill in the glance that passed over him, Cui Jiangjing very much wanted to stay alive and deftly smoothed things over, “Not really, you know he never dated a girlfriend before, so he used to be a workaholic. Everything was scheduled like a robot, to the minute, even meals were ordered in advance. Since being with you, he’s become much more normal. It’s just a little surprising to me. Indeed, having a girlfriend really makes a difference.”
Especially the kind of girlfriend who was tricked into marriage and won’t break up—truly a different kind!
He wisely swallowed the latter words instead of courting death by saying them out loud.
“By the way, Miss Rong, you didn’t eat the hot and sour noodles as well, did you?” He suddenly remembered something and stared at Rong Yan. Rong Yan nodded her head, “Yes, I did. What about it?”
Cui Jiangjing panicked, pacing around her, “Oh no! How could you eat something spicy? Your shoulder is injured; you must be on a dietary restriction. You can’t eat anything spicy or cold and hard, and there you go eating hot and sour noodles!”
This pair is really something, one more fearless than the other. One can’t eat spicy and gets stomach aches yet still indulges, the other has a wounded shoulder and still dares to go out for spicy food…
As a doctor, he felt a massive headache.
He tugged on Rong Yan’s sleeve, “Come on, let’s do another check-up; I need to see if your wound has become inflamed!”
Rong Yan was pushed out for a check-up, led away by a nurse.
While she was being checked, Cui Jiangjing massaged the bridge of his nose and spoke to the man waiting outside, “Shengxiao, almost forgot to tell you. An hour ago, Rong Yan’s grandmother came looking for her. I sent her away.. Do you think you should give Rong Yan a heads up?”
