My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1223: Rushing Back to See Her

"Ding ding."

Right after she sent the message, she heard the notification tone from behind her.

"Pfft." Then, a deep chuckle sounded from behind, as familiar as thunder suddenly exploding behind Rong Yan. The sound made her turn her head abruptly, only to see the man she hadn’t seen for a week suddenly appear behind her, watching her attentively with a thin smile, "Yes! Fantastic!"

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

Rong Yan’s heartbeat suddenly came to life, racing as if it would fly out of her throat, wishing it could rush into the arms of the man who had returned so abruptly.

Perhaps too astonished, she stood rooted to the spot, holding the soup ladle in her hand, and didn’t immediately throw herself into his arms.

It was Li Shengxiao who reached out, grabbed her arm, and yanked her into his chest, circling his arms around her slender waist. With a sigh of exclamation, he whispered in her ear, "Yanyan, I’m back."

I’m back!

Rong Yan’s nose instantly felt sore.

Not minding the object still in her hand, she hugged the man’s waist tightly, "I thought you wouldn’t be back for another hour. Didn’t you leave at ten-thirty? How did you get here so fast?"

"Gu Ming drove fast."

He didn’t mention that it was he who had asked Gu Ming to run through a dozen red lights, speeding back at 140 miles per hour the whole way. They were going so fast that the highway patrol almost chased after them, and it was only because he had called a leader in the traffic department that they weren’t stopped for speeding.

Could it be anything but fast after driving like a maniac the whole way?

While Rong Yan was still pondering why the usually steady Gu Ming would be so reckless this time, Li Shengxiao had already pulled her away and steered the conversation back to the message, "Didn’t you ask me if the hotpot looks good? I haven’t answered that question yet."

"Ah?" Rong Yan, a beat slow, remembered the soup ladle still in her hand and hurriedly offered it to him, "Do you want to try it? Use this, it’s a bit spicy, be careful not to burn yourself."

"No need." As soon as she finished speaking, Li Shengxiao suddenly bent down, and with his thin lips, he precisely and accurately pressed them against her own, "I have a less spicy way to try it."

His voice was husky, stirring the soul.

Rong Yan’s heart fluttered more violently than before. Forgetting that Cui Jiangjing and Little Baby were still outside, she gazed at the handsome face that loomed close, slowly closed her eyes, and lost herself in the kiss she hadn’t had for so long...

Li Shengxiao’s kiss, utterly different from his outward appearance of cool rationality, was as if he had transformed into someone else, dominatingly drawing out the sweetness from her mouth.

It was as if he wanted to seal all the longing of these days into this one kiss, causing Rong Yan’s cheeks to become burning hot, her hands and feet weak, resting against his body.

As the kiss ended, the distinguished man’s clothes were still neat and in order, while Rong Yan’s were already wrinkled by the embrace, presenting a stark contrast to his meticulous appearance.

Li Shengxiao, trapping her between his chest, circled his arm around her waist to keep her from sliding down, his voice still husky, "I’ve tried it, it tastes good."

His words were too vague, leaving one uncertain whether he was commenting on the hot pot’s taste or praising the kiss of their recent reunion.

With Rong Yan’s cheeks blushing and her heart racing, her hardly calmed heart started thumping again. She pulled away with red cheeks, speaking softly, "You go wash your hands first, I’ll get ready, and we can eat soon!"

Li Shengxiao’s gaze then fell upon the hot pot soup base that hadn’t been moved from the frying pan to the spare pot nearby. Rolling up his shirt sleeves to reveal a stretch of strong wrists, he walked to the washstand, asking her, "Does this need to be moved to the empty pot next door?"
