After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 298 - 299: The Third Ice Cream

"I don’t like sweets."

Leng Zimo put his plate in front of her, understanding her too well. He knew why she wasn’t eating the steak and had seen the longing look she gave the steak plate earlier. His heart ached for her, but he didn’t want to point it out. As soon as dessert arrived, he immediately offered it to her.

"Thank you!"

Luo Xiaoqian ate the cake with big bites, returning his smile.

"What a coincidence, I also don’t like sweets!"

Jiao Yang smiled, then placed his plate in front of Luo Xiaoqian as well.

Luo Xiaoqian found herself in a difficult position. Saying she didn’t like the cake now would make the lie too obvious, so she had no choice but to thank him too.

Bite by bite by bite...

With the first piece of cake, it was a delight.

Eating Leng Zimo’s piece was still a delight.

But by the time she got to Jiao Yang’s piece, her stomach was already full, and she had to keep forcing it down, which was truly torture.

After eating half, she really couldn’t eat any more.

"Can I take this half home to eat?" she asked Jiao Yang, turning her head towards him.

"Are you planning to just throw away my kindness as soon as you leave?" Jiao Yang asked with furrowed brows, a pitiful expression on his face.

"How could I..." Caught out by his words, Luo Xiaoqian immediately felt guilty, turned her face away, and dug a piece of cake with her spoon. Before it reached her mouth, a warm hand reached out first, taking away the remaining half piece of cake from her plate.

"Seeing you eat so deliciously, I want to try some too."

Leng Zimo placed the plate in front of himself and swallowed the cake in a few big bites.

Luo Xiaoqian watched his slightly furrowed brows with a heart full of reluctance.

Having been with him for so long, she had never seen him eat anything sweet, and even when drinking coffee, he would never add a hint of sugar. She didn’t know why, but she knew for sure that he truly didn’t like sweets.

Fortunately, the meal was finally over.

Luo Xiaoqian called the waiter over to pay the bill, and the battle that had just calmed down started again—two gold cards extending into the air.

However, this time, Luo Xiaoqian was prepared.

"This time, I’m treating. If anyone wants to argue with me, forget about having meals with me in the future!"

She stood up from her chair and handed over the card that Leng Zimo had given her to the waiter.

Leng Zimo withdrew his card, Jiao Yang shrugged his shoulders, and let his card-hand fall.

After settling the bill, the three of them took the elevator to the parking lot, where Luo Xiaoqian took the initiative to stand beside Leng Zimo and waved at Jiao Yang.

"I have to return to the company with President Leng, President Jiao, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" Jiao Yang waved back, walked to his champagne-colored Maserati, drove it over, and as he passed by the two, he didn’t forget to stop the car and throw a flirtatious wink at Luo Xiaoqian. "Xiao Qian, don’t forget, starting from Tomorrow, I will officially begin pursuing you!"

Waving at them, he stepped on the gas and left in the distance.

Watching that showy sports car, just like its owner, vanish at the exit, Luo Xiaoqian let out a long sigh, while Leng Zimo turned and walked over to unlock his car.

"Let’s go."

On their way to World City, Luo Xiaoqian sneakily glanced at his expression.

"Zimo, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault today. The big bouquet he sent didn’t have a name on the card, only ’won’t leave without seeing you,’ I thought it was from you, and that’s how things ended up like this."
