Chapter 1442: Chapter 1443: If you don’t want to eat, I don’t want to eat either

She was unwilling to let it go, her smile not reaching her eyes as she mocked, “Li Shengxiao, didn’t you hear what I just said? She doesn’t actually like you as much as she pretends to. The obedience and sweetness she shows you are just acts because she understands her situation and knows you won’t back down. Instead of causing a big mess with you, she chooses to go along with your wishes and date you first. Even like this, are you still intent on deceiving yourself?”

The man’s face darkened, his expression not only ice cold but with an intensity in his gaze that made Chu Xi’s heart tighten. On instinct, she released the grip she had on the car door.

“Close the door!”

Her red lips turned pale, the lipstick barely hiding her pallor. With a gritted jaw, she shut the car door.

The sleek luxury car sped off, leaving nothing but a trail of dust in front of her. Chu Xi choked on the rising grit, coughing uncontrollably as she stared at the car disappearing in the distance. Stomping her foot, she stubbornly stayed where she was for another ten minutes, fully confirming that the man who left wasn’t coming back!

Her exquisitely beautiful face turned livid, especially with the occasional curious glances cast her way from people passing by in cars.

It felt as if she’d been stripped bare and left there, mortified, as she took out her phone and called the butler at Chu Garden.

“I’m on the overpass at Huangpu Road. Come pick me up.”

…

Rong Yan, with Little Baby in tow, had finished watching the horror suspense thriller and found a nearby beverage shop for a drink. She ordered Little Baby a fried chicken burger and a cola, while she herself only got an iced cola and chose a seat by the window.

Little Baby, hungry from the movie, let his small legs dangle in midair as he obediently held his burger and ate. Even though it was junk food, he ate elegantly, with the table manners of someone enjoying haute cuisine!

With such a pretty and vibrant little cherub by her side, Rong Yan’s table naturally attracted plenty of attention.

Li Duidui finished half his burger when he finally noticed that his mom wasn’t in high spirits, repeatedly stirring the ice cubes in her cola with her straw. He paused, setting his burger down, tilting his head in confusion, “Mom, aren’t you going to eat?”

Rong Yan snapped back to reality, sucked on her cola, and said in a sulky tone, “Hmm, I’m on a diet.”

Li Duidui suddenly lost his appetite too and didn’t feel like eating. He put down his burger, pursed his soft pink lips, and softly protested, “But Mom isn’t fat~”

“Mr. Butler at Grandma’s house doesn’t diet, so Mom doesn’t need to diet either. If you don’t eat, your health will get worse. I don’t want you to get sick. If Mom gets sick, I’ll get sick too.”

He lowered his head again, burying his little face as he mumbled, “I’ll feel bad, won’t be able to eat, and my chest will feel heavy…”

Rong Yan’s starry eyes softened immediately. With a defeated laugh, she picked up the fried chicken in front of him, saying, “Alright, alright, I’ll eat, okay? It’s not like I’m trying to die by dieting, but you make it sound so serious. Now you’ve embarrassed me.”

Li Duidui murmured gloomily, “I just worry about you, Mom. If you don’t eat, I won’t have an appetite either.”

Rong Yan took a bite of the fried chicken, showing him, and blinked as if to reassure him, “I feel like eating now. Duidui, will you eat with me too?”

Little Baby gazed at her as Rong Yan fragrantly devoured two more bites of the fried chicken. Slowly, his mood lifted. He nodded, “Mm!”

Lowering his head, he happily held his burger and started eating again. Of course, he had to accompany his Little Demon Rong. No way was he going to let his mom eat by herself~
