"The steamed buns from Su Fang Zhai, the seafood porridge made by Master Li from Feng County, and Wang Lao's handmade bread—this is too extravagant, isn't it…" Su Qiao couldn't help but exclaim again, suddenly feeling like her breakfast was trash.
Luoningxi picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Su Qiao, "Sit down and eat first. Have more if you like."
On the surface, he appeared calm, but inside, his heart was in turmoil. What did Li Bochen mean?
Staying up all night, and someone even bought breakfast to bring over?
Is that a requirement?
Luo Ningxi opened her phone's messaging page, but Li Bochen had no text messages or notifications.
If it's about addition, he should have messaged himself by now.
Is he waiting for me to give him a way out?
Alrighty, considering he's good looking, Luoningxi decided to humor him.
Luo Ningxi laid out a plentiful breakfast, took a picture, and sent it to Li Botong.
I received the breakfast you sent, it's very plentiful and satisfying. How long are you planning to be away?
She thought that Li Bochen would react this time, but after waiting for a long time, her phone didn't light up again.
What's going on?
Was he not showing goodwill?
Su Qiao walked over and asked, “I originally thought your cheap husband was a stingy phoenix man. Now I suddenly feel like he’s quite sensible. When will he be back? I really want to meet him...”
Luo Ningxi didn't know what Li Bochen meant, and she replied a little irritably, "I messaged him, but he might be busy and hasn't seen it. I'll introduce you next time."
"You didn't even wait to show me your affection?" Su Qiao questioned suspiciously.
Lu Ningxi was at a loss, so she began to eat. Although the hotel wasn't close to here, the soy milk and dishes were all hot, obviously having been heated up beforehand.
The dead duck, surprisingly thoughtful, made her feel embarrassed to continue being angry with him!
Meanwhile, in the old Li Family mansion, in Old Master Li's bedroom, Li Boche sat resting on a chair by the bed.
After he stormed out that night, he soon saw Ningxi's text message, and the nameless fire in his heart subsided a little. He thought about ignoring her for a day before going back to find her, but unexpectedly, yesterday afternoon, he suddenly received a call from the caretaker of the old house.
The old man has been having palpitations and shortness of breath lately. His heart is sick, so he rushed to the old house last night to take care of his father.
The old man is getting on in years, his condition fluctuating. Li Bochen stayed up most of the night tending to him and only closed his eyes this morning.
His phone vibrated in his palm, and Li Bochen woke up abruptly. It was a text message from Luo Ningxi. His forehead twitched, though he was still somewhat angry, he considered himself a man of integrity and just about to reply when a rustling sound came from the bed, indicating that Old Master Li had also woken up.
Li Bochen calmly put his phone back in his pocket, got up and helped Li Laoye, asking the butler to call the family doctor.
"I'm fine..." Old Master Li struggled to sit up, leaning against the soft pillow, "Just my old ailment acting up. You stayed here and watched over me all night?"
The old butler called me, so I came over. Why didn't you go to the hospital?
Mr. Li sighed, a heavy look on his face. "Although the Li Corporation seems to be sailing smoothly now, I know that many people hope for my downfall. If I go to the hospital and get caught by the media, tomorrow someone will probably spread rumors about my critical condition, and the day after tomorrow, the stock price will be affected."
"That doesn't mean sacrificing your health for them. I'll have people block the news later, and then take you to the hospital."
Li Bochen knew exactly who the old man was talking about, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
Mr. Li wasn't pleased, "I know my own body, I'm not dead yet."
"You said you would protect me, didn't you? You should take good care of your health. It's a shame you haven't." Li Bochen said in a low voice.
Mr. Li and Li Bichen looked at each other for a moment, then Mr. Li changed the subject, "If you're willing to work at the group, I'll go to the hospital right away."
Is this forcing himself on me physically?
