Chapter 393: Chapter 391: 391: Don’t Think You Have Double Standards

Li Shengxiao didn’t think it was double standards at all, and in a pleased mood, he said, “Don’t you want to eat seafood? Then let’s go eat at that seafood place.”

“Are you sure?” Rong Yan, surprised that he would choose seafood, didn’t forget to remind him once more, “That seafood place might be a bit crowded, can you get used to it?”

Li Shengxiao clasped her hand, his deep eagle eyes staring at her as if he wanted to lock her inside them, “With you here, I should be able to.”

With you here, I should be able to!

Thump, thump, thump.

Without her control, Rong Yan’s heart started racing, and her ears began to burn.

Indeed, she shouldn’t have asked him.

Asking was just setting herself up for suffering.

Li Shengxiao watched her the entire time, of course noticing Rong Yan’s slightly reddened earlobes and her quick, embarrassed expression that tried to look away. His thin lips curved upwards, and holding her hand, he said with long strides, “Let’s go.”

He had a personal driver, and in no time, a low-key luxurious black Bentley parked outside the seafood buffet restaurant that Rong Yan mentioned.

“Mr. Li,” the driver quickly got out of the car and came around to open the doors for the two of them.

After the tall man got out, he used his hand to block the doorframe, telling Rong Yan, still inside the car, “Miss Rong, take your time getting out, watch your head.”

“Thank you.” After getting out of the car, Rong Yan said to the man by her side, “Let’s go upstairs. I called the restaurant to make a reservation, and we’re in luck—they had just one small private room left. That way, we don’t have to squeeze into the main dining hall.”

Of course, the price for the private room was two hundred more than in the main dining hall.

Had she come alone, Rong Yan would definitely choose the main dining hall over a private room that costs two hundred more, but there was no helping it now that she had brought Li Shengxiao along.

This man condescended to accompany her to a buffet, and she wasn’t the kind of person to insensitively insist they dine in the main hall just to save a few hundred dollars.

Li Shengxiao knew she had booked the private room for his sake, and his heart inexplicably warmed, softening in a way that was beyond belief. He caught the wrist of the small woman walking ahead and said in a husky voice, “Yanyan, you really didn’t have to book a private room…”

Without any clue, Rong Yan turned to look at him, “Why shouldn’t I? Don’t you dislike crowded and noisy places? There will be a lot of people in the main hall, and I’m worried you won’t have an appetite. Although the private room is also noisy, it’s still better than the main hall.”

She spoke with an earnest naturalness, as if it were the simplest decision in the world.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Shengxiao’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, his back tensed, and he inexplicably wanted to press her against the wall, to cover her tempting little mouth. He wanted to swallow all the sweetness hidden within her lips and teeth, so she wouldn’t continue to seduce him so blatantly!

Rong Yan, whose hand had been held for a long time, saw that he remained silent and looked down at her phone to urge him, “Li Shengxiao, we should hurry up. Our reservation time is approaching, and if we don’t go up soon, the manager will give our spot to someone else.”

As she spoke, she gripped the tall, noble man beside her and walked upwards.

“Hmm,” the distinguished man also cooperated with her, responding with a hum before allowing her to lead him upstairs.

“Welcome to Imperial Feast.”

“Welcome to Imperial Feast.”

The two tall and beautiful hostesses at the restaurant’s entrance welcomed each arriving guest with a smile.

However, when they saw Li Shengxiao, they both involuntarily froze and forgot to voice their greetings.
