Chapter 1443: Chapter 1444: She’s Also a Sucker for Looks

Li Shengxiao rushed in and was instantly greeted by the sight of one big and one small figure sharing chicken nuggets, each taking a bite. The scene was so heartwarming it nearly made him forget about that earlier phone call.

His appearance was far too striking—so much so that as soon as he entered, he instantly attracted the attention of numerous women in the restaurant.

Rong Yan overheard the nearby girls whispering in hushed, excited tones: “So handsome!” “Oh my God, is he a celebrity?” “He must be an undiscovered star!” “Or maybe a model?” Her intuition kicked in, and she raised her head to follow their gaze. Sure enough, she saw the man who seemed to walk through a galaxy, stepping into the McDonald’s.

The shirt on his body was buttoned up to the very last button with meticulous precision, leaving no room for any fantasies. And yet, that face—paired with those long legs wrapped in tailored suit pants—still delivered an undeniable impact…

Rong Yan propped her chin on her hand and studied the man walking over from head to toe.

That face, that body, that aura… Tsk~ No wonder the young girls nearby insisted on telling their friends he was a male model.

If celebrities needed these kinds of hard qualifications, how could they not become insanely popular?

Even if he were a rookie who had just entered the industry, based on his looks alone, he’d already be considered a heavenly creature, setting fans of good looks ablaze in an instant.

Rong Yan, being a secret admirer of appearances herself, did enjoy appreciating handsome men and beautiful women. After all, isn’t it refreshing for the eyes to gaze upon attractive people and scenery?

From the moment Li Shengxiao entered to the time he walked over, Rong Yan switched positions twice—first supporting her head with her left hand until it got sore, then switching to her right hand, continuing to prop up her chin. She held on so long that Li Duidui turned her head, pouting and huffing at the man who was drawing all the attention.

Rong Yan only let go of her chin when the man finally reached their table. She smiled naturally and greeted him, “You said half an hour, so I thought you’d be late. But it turns out you made it in twenty minutes—actually, you’re ten minutes early.”

“I drove a bit faster.”

Li Shengxiao didn’t mention how he had left Chu Xi stranded on the overpass, sped all the way here like the wind, and ran through seven or eight red lights just to ensure she wouldn’t be upset over that phone call. He hadn’t expected to be met with the sight of her smiling eyes when he arrived. His expression froze momentarily, his chest suddenly felt stuffed, and an inexplicable tightness welled up within him.

“Oh.” Rong Yan gestured toward the seat across from her. “Sit. Did you eat dinner yet? If not, do you want some chicken? Their burgers are pretty good too. Both Little Baby and I had a serving. You want one? I can grab it for you.”

She was so composed, acting as though nothing had happened.

Li Shengxiao’s breathing grew shallow, veins pulsing faintly around his temples. He wanted so badly to ask her—was there really nothing she wanted to say to him? Yet, with Li Duidui present, he suppressed the urge, pulled out the chair across from her, and sat down. His gaze darkened, his voice low and husky, “No, I’ll just wait for you both to finish.”

Rong Yan’s clear, black-and-white eyes flicked a glance at him but didn’t say anything further. She handed Little Baby a small drumstick and ate a bit with him.

A persistent gaze hovered over her, as though trying to analyze and disassemble her piece by piece. Even without raising her eyes, Rong Yan could still feel that ever-present stare. However, she acted as if she hadn’t noticed, continuing to do what she was doing.

“Are you full, sweetheart?”

Once Little Baby gnawed his way through the last chicken nugget, Rong Yan placed her food down and patiently asked, “Do you want mom to get you some fries?”

Li Duidui shook his head and replied in a soft, milky voice, “No, I’m full.”

“All full? Then let’s head out~” She picked up her bag and extended her hand toward the little one.
