Chapter 697: Testing the Waters, Want to Try Some Crab?
rned her head to look back."You're back Just in time, the chicken soup is almost ready. Wash your hands and get ready to eat."Li Bochen raised an eyebrow, his originally icy eyes softened. Looking at...He stood tall and straight, his bespoke suit hugging his perfect figure. Every gesture he made exuded an air of nobility and coldness that overshadowed everything around him.
How did Li Boche come back again
Lu Ningxi thought, her hand clenching the test report nervously. She turned her head without hesitation and prepared to return to the underground garage.
Ke just took a couple of steps when he was called back by Li Boche's low voice, "Luo Ningxi, where do you think you are going"
Li Bochen originally didn't plan to pester Luo Ningxi, but just as he calmed down, he received a text message from Mo Yao, and Luo Ningxi ran back to the hospital!
Does gastroenteritis require frequent hospital visits
Lu Ningxi's footsteps came to a halt, reluctantly twisting her head around, she put on a fake smile, "What a coincidence, Shao Si, you're sick too"
"Ironically, I came here specifically to find you."
In one sentence, Luo Ningxi's heartstrings tightened suddenly, "You came to me on purpose For what"
"I heard... you haven't been feeling well lately"
Li Bohen's voice was sharp, his ancient-looking cold eyes unfathomable as he slowly gazed at Lu Ningxi's abdomen, as if trying to see through everything!
"Mister Li, stalking and investigating others is illegal. I have the right to call the police." Luo Ningxi calmly curled her lips, but inside she was frantically wanting to run away, "But seeing as we've known each other for so long, I'll let it slide this time. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving..."
"Wait."
Before Luo Ningxi could make her escape, Li Bochen grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her back. "There have been some updates on the investigation into what happened outside the city earlier. Let's find a place to talk"
"What about the follow-up investigation in the suburbs" Luo Ningxi raised her eyes in surprise and asked urgently, "Did you find evidence that Mu Xi Yin harmed your father"
Ke Li Bo Chen, however, merely raised his lips in a faint smile and uttered softly, "I haven't eaten yet. Let's find somewhere to have something to eat first, then we can talk."
“...”
Luo Ningxi secretly patted her chest to calm herself down.
If it was just about discussing matters after the suburban development, Li Bochen wouldn't have needed to come in person. His persistence, even following me to the hospital, suggests he likely wants to probe me.
It's alright, meet force with force, and water with earth. If he comes to test me, I can turn the tables and make him lose heart.
"Well, I really wanted to have a good chat with you, Shao Si."
Luo Ningxi obediently sat in the co-driver's seat of the Rolls-Royce.
The car was very quiet.
Li Bochen gazed through the car's refined window at Luo Ningxi's cold face, a strange feeling of irritability suddenly welling up in his heart.
Once, when he drove his small tram to pick up Luo Ningxi from work every day, Luo Ningxi would chatter like a little rabbit, non-stop talking about what happened at the company today.
Now... he's a lot more composed.
If I hadn't deceived her in the beginning, or if I hadn't drunk the drink the old man gave me, would things have been different
He had to be so careful even about asking if she was pregnant.
Luo Ningxi also sensed the oppressive atmosphere in the car and, for the first time ever, asked, "Have you thought about where we're going to eat"
"Let's go to Yunlan." Li Bochen tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "I heard they updated their menu recently, it should be right up your alley."
"Well, then let's try it. I haven't eaten yet either," Luo Ningxi perfunctorily nodded her head, but in reality, she quietly pulled out her phone and sent a message to Xiao Jin, anticipating some things needed to be prepared for beforehand.
The car soon stopped in front of Yunlan Hotel.
The waiter led them to the VIP room and respectfully handed them the menu, smiling as he spoke.
"Mr. Si, Miss Luo, this is our restaurant's latest updated menu. We've added some new dishes and drinks inside. Both of you can try them."
Li Bochen nodded and turned his gaze to Luo Ningxi, opening his mouth lightly, "Order whatever you want, I'll treat you to this meal."
Luning Xi was also hungry.
These days, I've been so preoccupied with things happening in the suburbs and the Su Qiao paint incident that I haven't even had a proper meal. So I just curled my lips into a smile and said, "I didn't want to trouble you, but considering how illustrious Young Master Li of the Li family is, he used to eat and use my things all the time. Now that he's returning the favor by having a meal with me, it shouldn't be a big deal, right"
She doesn't spend his money, and he would spend it on Jian Ningyi or Mu Xiyin anyway. It might as well be her who spends it freely.
Luo Ningxi flipped through the menu in her hand, ordering everything she wanted to eat.
"This pineapple-braised pork ribs, Ho Xiang tender rabbit, pot-wrapped meat, three flavor braised casserole… and this stuffed tomato, crispy pork soup, we'll have all of them."
These are all exquisite dishes.
Li Bochen gazed at her quietly, his icy eyes thoughtful.
After a moment, he suddenly spoke, "I remember you really liked eating crabs before, and the crabs lately aren't bad either. Why don't we order some"
The waiter beside her also nodded solemnly and immediately chimed in, "Yes, Miss Luo, all our king crabs are airlifted, so they're very fresh and the quality is guaranteed!"
If this had happened in the past, Loningxi would definitely have been moved, but now his face secretly changed color...
Crabs are cold foods and have the effect of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Pregnant women should never eat them! a sharp scream!"Lo Ningxi! How did you get here!"Luo Ningxi frowned, raised her eyes and looked over, only to see Luo Zhiqin leading several young ladies giggling and striding towards her!What a coin...
