Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Did You Fall into the Kitchen?

“You don’t want me to go again?” It was clear that someone was in a good mood, as even the air seemed to flow with a relaxed and easygoing atmosphere.

“No, it’s normal for you to go on a business trip, I’m not a child, I understand. I was just asking, that’s all,” Rong Yan tried to justify herself.

She wasn’t used to the emptiness of the house without him.

But she wasn’t so sentimental as to demand he stay home with her every day, Li Group wasn’t a small company, with how many branch companies, holding companies, and brands under Li Shengxiao’s control, he was incredibly busy! He had already tried his best to make time for her and Little Baby, nearly spending every evening at home dining with them—she wouldn’t be so ungrateful as to occupy all his time.

Although… she had thought about it.

But she wasn’t really that sentimental.

Li Shengxiao’s dark eyes deeply scrutinized her, as if seeing through what she was thinking, released her arm, pursed his thin lips, his gaze flickered then quickly returned to calm, “I won’t be going to Rui City again. I’ve already dealt with the situation there, and unless something unexpected happens, I don’t plan to go on another business trip anytime soon.”

Rong Yan lifted her head, looking at him in surprise.

Why did that sound like a promise?

“I didn’t mean that, what I just said was true, I really don’t mind you going on business trips.”

Li Shengxiao’s chiseled face bore a hint of a smile, “If there’s another unavoidable business trip, I’ll take you with me. You’ll need to keep your schedule open, as it might be a last-minute trip.”

Rong Yan could tell he wasn’t listening to her at all and shot a frustrated glare at the self-absorbed man, trying to resist feebly, “Did you hear me? I’m not stopping you from going on business trips, you go on your trips, I know it’s normal because of work…”

Li Shengxiao beckoned her with a finger, pulling her over, gripping her slender waist, his voice dropping lower, “You, I need you too.”

Work needs, her, he also needs!

Even more than work!

If this trip hadn’t been for a doctor’s visit, and if it weren’t uncertain whether Susan would be suitable, he probably would have taken her with him.

“This time was an exception, Yanyan, I’ll try my best to avoid such incidents in the future.”

“…” Rong Yan realized she hadn’t misinterpreted; he was indeed making a promise to her. For some reason, her tongue tied itself in knots, “No, you don’t have to, I’m not blaming you, why are you suddenly making this promise to me?”

Why was he suddenly making this promise to her?

Li Shengxiao contemplated the same question, the answer almost on the tip of his tongue.

“Because a week is too long!”

A week was too long, long enough that he almost wanted to blend her into his very bones and take her away.

So long that several times, he considered returning midway.

So long that he questioned whether his decision was right, regretting why he hadn’t taken her with him that morning.

For him, a week once seemed like an insignificant number, but since she entered his life, since she agreed to date him, a week without her felt unbearably long, like the mathematical symbol ‘N’, representing infinity.

Rong Yan was pressed against him, her ear close enough to hear the sound of his heartbeat, ‘thump thump’, once again losing its rhythm…

At that moment, someone in the living room, as if unable to bear it any longer, shouted toward them, “It’s almost been fifteen minutes, how come you haven’t come out yet, don’t tell me you two have fallen into the kitchen!”
