Chapter 1079: Chapter 1079: What should I do, I already miss you Chapter 1079: Chapter 1079: What should I do, I already miss you The man’s gaze was as sharp as a blade, making her heart pound with fear. Chu Xi’s voice paused slightly, “I’m just making a kind suggestion, if you’re not interested, pretend I never said anything.”

Li Shengxiao’s eyes narrowed slightly, “What’s the doctor’s name?”

“Susan,” Chu Xi said, “You can look into her. I have no reason to lie to you. We’re allies, and I just happened to think of someone I know when I was around, so I mentioned it to you.”

Li Shengxiao’s face showed no emotion, and he appeared calm. It was impossible to tell if he was truly interested, “I’ll check.”

He stood up from the sofa, looking down at Chu Xi from above, “You don’t have anything else? If not, I’m off to a meeting.”

Chu Xi didn’t expect him to be unwilling to give her even a minute of his time. Her face felt as if it had been invisibly slapped, and not even her perfectly applied makeup could hide her instant embarrassment, “There’s one more thing.”

“What is it?” Li Shengxiao’s phone pinged at that moment.

He pulled out his phone from his pocket. The new message displayed was from Rong Yan. He lowered his eyes to look at it, which read with simple words–[I’ve only been apart from you for an hour and I already miss you, what should I do~]
— I’ve only been apart from you for an hour and I already miss you, what should I do?

Li Shengxiao’s heart felt as if it had been hit, a sweetness rippling through him. His lips curved uncontrollably into a smile, his gaze softened, and his handsome face was suffused with a layer of tender expression.

This made Chu Xi feel even more embarrassed!

She had purposely flown her personal stylist back from Mema, early in the morning, to dress up with great care, only to be ignored completely–as if she had dressed up for a blind man, who didn’t spare her a glance!

Her neck felt as if someone was choking her, her breath quick and her chest filled with intense frustration.

She was well aware of the charm her appearance held in the eyes of men. Her every move could easily captivate a man’s heart, not to mention when she tried on purpose. But Li Shengxiao was an exception! Although she didn’t expect to completely bewitch this man with her looks – given Li Shengxiao’s status, it wasn’t likely he lacked for beauty around him – she truly didn’t anticipate that her allure would be completely ineffective on him.

This sense of defeat, for a woman like her who had never been bested by a man, was akin to a slap in the face.

“Mr. Li…” Chu Xi bit her lip unwillingly and called out softly.

Li Shengxiao didn’t even lift his eyelids. His long, smooth fingers tapped at his phone, apparently replying to a message, his expression focused as if he hadn’t heard her voice at all.

[Ding.]
His reply had just been sent when Rong Yan’s next message came in–[Not doing much, in a meeting. Estelle and the director are discussing how to deal with the online rumors. Mr. Nick has also returned to the country and is here. They are all intensely planning, and I, the person concerned, have been squeezed out. I’m just waiting for them to come up with a unified plan. Taking this time to send you a message, wondering what you’re up to. Haven’t you started your meeting yet?]
Li Shengxiao seemed to see the image of that young woman swaying her legs as she sat to the side sending him messages, and his mood suddenly brightened.

–[No, ran into something, delayed it by half an hour. But I’m heading out soon.]
Rong Yan’s message came quickly again, [Shall we have dinner together tonight? I’m craving that sour and spicy noodles again, what should I do?]
Li Shengxiao’s eyes sparkled as if with light, [I’ll pick you up in the car this afternoon.]
