Chapter 169 - 170: Are You... Going Home to Eat? [2]
Luo Xiaoqian frowned slightly, "I really appreciate your recognition, but..."
"Stop!" Jiao Yang extended a palm, making a pause gesture, "Could you please let me keep that bit of fantasy in my heart?"
Luo Xiaoqian smiled helplessly, "Okay then!"
"That’s it, goodbye!" Jiao Yang waved to her, turned around, and walked towards the parking lot. After a few steps, he stopped, turned his face to look at her, "Don’t forget, you still owe me a meal, okay?"
What else could Luo Xiaoqian do but nod?!
As she watched Jiao Yang walk away, Luo Xiaoqian put on her sunglasses and briskly walked to the roadside to hail a taxi.
Sitting in the car, she took out the photo again.
The photo was old and slightly yellowed, but in it, her father’s smile was as kind and warm as ever.
"Dad, I’ve finally found you!"
She hugged the photo to her chest and murmured softly.
The taxi made its way near World City, and seeing the supermarket sign, an idea struck Luo Xiaoqian, "Driver, please stop ahead!"
After paying, she carefully tucked her wallet into her handbag and went straight into the supermarket, bought a photo frame in the Hundred Loan Area on the second floor, and strolled downstairs. Seeing there was still plenty of time, she decided to browse around.
She planned to buy some ready-made food to keep at home in case of need. Now that her hand was injured, she couldn’t cook, and she couldn’t order takeout every day.
Seeing the dumplings in the freezer, she naturally thought of Leng Zimo.
That guy seemed to like eating dumplings, but being so picky, she wondered if there were any fillings he avoided.
She quickly took out her phone from her bag, dialed his number, and called him.
The phone only rang twice before Leng Zimo’s voice came through.
"What’s up?"
Hearing his voice, Luo Xiaoqian suddenly grew nervous.
Such a picky guy surely wouldn’t eat these kinds of frozen foods, right?
Bracing for him to scold her, she gathered her courage and started, "Actually... I... I’m at the supermarket, and then, I saw some frozen dumplings. I remembered you said that you like dumplings, so I wanted to ask what kind of fillings you like. If you don’t like the frozen ones, just pretend I didn’t say anything..."
Unexpectedly, his voice from the other side of the phone was surprisingly gentle.
"Any kind is fine!"
"Then..." Luo Xiaoqian glanced at the freezer in front of her, "should I buy the mixed vegetables and meat dumplings?"
"Okay!"
"Alright then, nothing else, I’m going to hang up now!" Luo Xiaoqian sighed in relief, "You... have dinner at home?"
"Yes!"
He was still brief.
Luo Xiaoqian held the phone, not daring to hang up first.
With that guy’s temperament, who knew if he would get mad over her hanging up first?
Unexpectedly, Leng Zimo on the other side also didn’t hang up. Through the signal, she could clearly hear the sound of his breathing.
"Should I hang up now?"
"Okay!"
Hearing him say ’okay’ again, Luo Xiaoqian moved the phone away and pressed the end call button.
After hanging up, she didn’t forget to pat her chest.
This guy’s presence was just too strong; even making a phone call made her palms sweat.
She took two bags of mixed vegetables and meat frozen dumplings from the freezer and put them in her cart. After thinking it over, she grabbed two more bags and then pushed the cart towards the checkout.
...
...
At Emperor View Group, in the conference room.
Leng Zimo’s gaze was focused on his phone, his lips curved in an unconscious smile.
Going home for dinner, what a warm and cozy phrase.
