Chapter 261: Chapter 261: He will come to take her out for dinner

“Finished with your work?” the man’s magnetic voice came through from the other end of the phone.

“Yeah.”

Li Shengxiao sensed something off in her voice, set aside the work in his hands, and walked to the window, “Where are you?”

Rong Yan looked up at the elevator that had not yet descended and said, “Downstairs at home.”

The word “home” successfully pleased the person on the other end of the phone.

He glanced over at Gu Ming, who had come in to deliver documents, and signaled him to keep quiet. Then, picking up the coat from the back of his chair, he said to Gu Ming, “Cancel all my appointments for tonight.”

Without waiting for Gu Ming to respond, he already spoke to Rong Yan on the phone, “Stay right there, I’m coming to pick you up!”

“Uh, you’re coming over?” Rong Yan had not yet reacted.

The handsome and distinguished man narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice low, “Didn’t you say we’re having dinner together tonight? I’ll pick up Duidui. Wait there for me.”

Rong Yan then remembered that before she left to shoot her film, she had asked Gu Ming to pass on the message to have dinner together in the evening.

Since she had no other plans following that, she glanced at the time on her phone and quickly agreed, “Alright, I’ll wait for you on the roadside.”

Half an hour later, a black Bugatti pulled up by the side of the road.

Rong Yan opened the car door and got in.

A Little Baby immediately threw himself into her arms, “Mommy!”

Rong Yan hugged him and pinched his little face, “Did you sleep well last night?”

“Mhmm.”

Li Duidui paused for a moment, looked up at her with grape-like, large eyes, and asked her in return, “What about Mommy? Did you sleep well?”

Rong Yan couldn’t help but look up at the man driving up front, coughed to cover up her embarrassment, and replied, “… fairly well.”

In fact, she had dreamed the whole night about playing games; in the dream, Li Shengxiao had taken her all over the map, sniping with various guns, always a headshot.

It caused her to wake up the next morning and notice in the mirror that her face was flushed with heat.

Thank goodness the physiological structure of women and men is different. Otherwise, she suspected she might have been undone by his handsomeness last night!

Li Shengxiao playing games was just too cool!

The car quickly arrived at the dinner location, and once there, she learned that someone had already booked a private room.

What was supposed to be a simple evening meal with dim sum suddenly came with the luxury of three waiters specifically assigned to their private room to serve dishes, giving Rong Yan the false sensation of dining in a five-star restaurant.

But the seafood porridge was really delicious!

After the meal, Li Shengxiao was responsible for getting them back to Dihor Garden.

After returning, he received a phone call and went to the study.

Rong Yan, having had her fill, sat down on the sofa, took out the script from her bag, and went over her audition segment for the day once again.

She had read the “Rainy Night Confession” part many times, and the lines were etched in her memory. But she just couldn’t deliver the effect the director wanted…

She pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a headache setting in.

This film was a project she snatched from Rong Weiwei, and importantly, Li Shengxiao had snatched it for her! Of course, she wanted to perform well. Even if not for outstanding acting skills, at the very least, she didn’t want to embarrass Li Shengxiao. But after a whole day, she realized acting wasn’t as simple as she thought. Having been away from acting for so long, she originally entered show business by chance and playing the role of the protagonist’s sister was basically being herself, requiring no particular acting skills. But this role was different; it genuinely required acting, and she clearly… had none!
