My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Inviting Her Staff to Dine
 

“I was supposed to shoot a commercial, but we ran into some issues halfway through, and we’re still resolving them, so we haven’t started filming yet.” Rong Yan omitted the part about Rong Weiwei deliberately snatching her commercial and having the brand side come to hassle her.

Li Shengxiao was no ordinary man, and with just a casual mention from her, he could roughly guess what had happened. His brows furrowed deeply.

Seeing his furrowed brows, Rong Yan hurriedly changed the subject, “It’s not a big issue, you don’t need to worry about me. You should eat first, and I’ll join you for dinner after I finish up here.”

“Estelle and the others are all working overtime today, and I was thinking of treating them to a meal.”

Li Shengxiao’s eyes were deep and dark. He didn’t say much, “Mm, go to Lan Club for dinner, I’ll book a private room for you all, my treat.”

“Er…”

Lan Club was considered a high-end restaurant in Capital City. The prices were outrageous, with every dish costing four figures, and even a simple stir-fried cabbage could be priced like a dish of jade bird’s nest. She hadn’t planned on going there.

Yet, Li Shengxiao was assertively domineering, “That’s settled then. I’ll have them reserve seats for you, just go directly there when you’re ready.”

“There’s no…” Before she could finish saying there was no need, the handsome man across from her looked at her with his handsome brows and said, “Yanyan, as my girlfriend, it is my duty as a man to treat your colleagues to a meal.”

——Yanyan, as my girlfriend, it is my duty as a man to treat your colleagues to a meal.

Rong Yan found herself speechless, unable to find any words to refute. She hesitated for a moment and then did not refuse, “Then… tonight, they probably won’t have time at noon, we can just grab something casual.”

Li Shengxiao enjoyed the feeling of her acknowledging their relationship, and the corners of his rose-colored lips curved slightly, “Alright. It’s up to you to arrange it, I’ll try my best to come over tonight!”

Rong Yan blinked, “You’re coming over, too?”

Li Shengxiao’s gaze darkened suddenly, his voice growing huskier, “You don’t want me to come?”

His heart felt abruptly seized, affecting his breathing.

Rong Yan only paused for a moment before shaking her head, “No, it’s up to you. If you’re done with your work, then come over, but if you’re busy, you don’t have to worry about us. I can take them to dinner.”

Gu Ming’s heart was hanging the whole time, but fortunately, Rong Yan replied quickly, and the tension in his heart subsided abruptly.

With Miss Rong saying that, Mr. Li should be happier than anyone!

Sure enough, as he sneaked a glance at the man not far away, although there was no noticeable joy in his brows, the atmosphere around him allowed one to sense his good mood.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Mm.”

He gave Rong Yan a look and then said, “I’m hanging up, I have to make a call.”

“Okay.”

This was the first time Rong Yan had been hung up on by him. Thinking he had other matters to attend to, she naturally said goodbye to the person on the other side of the video call and then hung up.

After the video call disconnected, she went to inform Estelle and the others about dinner that night and also ordered a few luxurious takeouts online to prevent them from missing lunch due to their busy schedules.

At Li Group’s headquarters.

After hanging up Rong Yan’s call, the pleasant and soft glow in Li Shengxiao’s expression gradually faded away. He uncrossed his long legs and instructed Gu Ming, who was beside him, “Go find out what happened and why the commercial shoot was suddenly called off.”

Gu Ming had watched their entire phone conversation and, like Rong Yan, thought that Li Shengxiao didn’t care when she mentioned that the commercial shoot had been temporarily halted.

To his surprise, Mr. Li had proactively hung up the call and immediately asked him to investigate.

Gu Ming knew that anything related to Rong Yan was of importance, and he bowed respectfully, “Yes, Mr. Li, please wait a moment, I’ll check on it right away.”

“Mm.” Li Shengxiao’s expression was somber, giving nothing away about his thoughts.
