Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: Can Treat Headaches Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: Can Treat Headaches Li Shengxiao looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to see through the woman standing before him, speaking frankly.

The woman under his scrutiny remained composed from start to finish, openly letting him look her over without a hint of evasion, and she even deliberately stared straight back into his eyes, unblinkingly, as if challenging him.

Li Shengxiao’s hawk-like eyes narrowed slightly–a signal all too familiar to those who knew him as one of danger, “Why did you tell Rong Yan that I donated blood to you? Miss Chu is so intelligent, surely you’d know that saying such things could easily lead to misunderstandings.”

“You mean Rong Yan misunderstood?” Chu Xi revealed a look of surprise. “I don’t think she took it the wrong way. Her face-slapping comeback on stage was so splendid, she was so calm and in control, with no sign that her mood was affected at all.”

Although she was telling the truth, her words sounded unpleasant–as if implying that Rong Yan didn’t care.

Li Shengxiao’s gaze grew increasingly dangerous.

Even with her confidence, Chu Xi didn’t dare to continue playing her little games under his threatening stare. She let out a sigh, as if surrendering, “Okay, I admit it, I did it on purpose.”

“It’s not my fault, I even brought my boyfriend to meet you, but you didn’t bring your girlfriend out. So, when I saw your girlfriend, I couldn’t resist teasing her a bit. She didn’t react much, and I found it uninteresting, so I didn’t bother explaining. Besides, she was about to go on stage, and Director Dina was beside me, so it wasn’t convenient to talk about certain things. You can’t blame me for that.”

Li Shengxiao didn’t buy her ‘explanation’ at all–it was too perfunctory. He was no greenhorn, certainly capable of picking up the reluctance in Chu Xi’s voice, “Next time, try not to resist.”

His chilly words, seemingly plain, conveyed a clear threat.

Chu Xi felt as though a heavy stone had struck her in the chest, her mortified discomfort almost made her lose her composure, but Li Shengxiao’s expression was severe, clearly not in the mood for jokes, forcing her to drop the jovial tone.

“…Fine, I won’t. There’s no need to make it so awkward.” It took her a moment to regain her composure, and just as the secretary brought in coffee, she seized the opportunity to back down, addressing the man opposite her, “Aside from this matter, there’s another reason I wanted to see you. It’s about that doctor I mentioned last time. She’s in Rui City now, would you like to meet her?”

“What doctor?”

Chu Xi really wanted to ask if he’d ever taken her words seriously, yet she was not a fool and had no desire to embarrass herself. She continued patiently, “The one I told you about last time, the specialist who can treat your headaches. I have no reason to lie to you. Do you want to meet her?”

Li Shengxiao took a sip of his coffee and set down the cup, his fingers tapping idly against the rim as if pondering.

Chu Xi suppressed her impatience, bringing up another point casually, “It just so happens the doctor is in Rui City, just a two-hour drive away. You should see her. A brief visit won’t waste much of your time, and you have a son. If you could find a cure, he wouldn’t have to suffer from headaches in the future. There’s no harm in meeting her, just to see if the doctor is any good. If not, you lose nothing, but if it works out, you gain.”
