My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 858 - : Just Not Going Back

Chapter 858: Chapter 858: Just Not Going Back

Li Shengxiao’s thin lips pressed into a straight line as he looked at her fair, delicate face, his eyes darkening. He almost blurted out, “If I keep socializing, other men will start taking her out to movies and dates!”

“It’s not a very important dinner, I don’t need to go, a quick greeting will suffice.”

Rong Yan was a bit skeptical, “You’ve even made time for dinner, are you sure it’s not an important engagement?”

She knew better than anyone how valuable his time was.

Many people found scheduling just five minutes with him harder than reaching the heavens, let alone having dinner, something so crucial, would definitely have been arranged in advance.

Li Shengxiao, his expression unchanged, grasped her arm and walked beside her, calmly stating, “I’m sure.”

Rong Yan still didn’t believe him, “Shall I accompany you to let others know?” It didn’t seem right for him to just walk away like that…

Remembering Chu Xi in the private room, Li Shengxiao furrowed his brows deeply and, yanking her hand, said impatiently, “No need.”

“They’re not important people, I will send them a message.”

He had said ‘not important’ twice now, and Rong Yan had nothing more to say, she simply responded with an “oh,” and took him obediently to her private room.

…

In private room number 006, the lighting was exquisite and the space was spacious and grand.

Chu Xi wore a Chanel-style suit dress, and its lavender color complemented her beautifully, adding a unique charm. Her bright eyes were soft and deep like autumn water as she sat in a corner applying lipstick. The simple act exuded femininity and allure when performed by her.

Beside her sat a tall and handsome foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes. He was strikingly handsome and maintained a certain distance from her, occasionally glancing towards the door. He asked worriedly in his broken Zekanese, “Koko, why hasn’t Mr. Li returned yet?”

Chu Xi casually put the lipstick back into her purse, unconcerned, “He might still be on a call.”

“Oh,” the foreign man shifted uneasily, seeming to fear something, “Do you think we acted too much like lovers just now? Could he have noticed something?”

Chu Xi’s alluring eyes hid a deadly dominance. She seemed displeased by his question. She placed her purse aside, took the man’s arm, and emphasized, “We are lovers! From now on, you must embrace your role, you are my secret boyfriend. We’ve been together for three years, truly cherish each other, and see each other as prospective marriage partners.”

“Do you understand?” Although her words were tender and romantic, her tone was that of a superior issuing commands, devoid of any lovers’ tenderness.

Her agent seemed very afraid of her and after she asked, he nodded rapidly, “Understand, understand.”

Only then did Chu Xi withdraw her hand, her lithe waist reclining against the chair back as she picked up her phone to check the time.

Li Shengxiao had been out for ten minutes. Even if it was an important call, he should have returned by now. Why hadn’t he come in yet?

Her eyebrows furrowed lightly, and her phone beeped twice at that moment.

Seeing the sender, her eyes grew heavy. Her fingers, adorned with neatly manicured nails, tapped open the message—[I’ve already paid the bill, you guys enjoy your meal, I have to leave for something.]

Chu Xi’s nails dug into the screen, if it weren’t made of glass, she might have gouged out a piece.
