Chapter 402: Still Couldn’t Resist Making Him a Late-night Snack
Rong Yan spent a full two hours making seven or eight buns, patting her face, numb from fatigue, washed her hands, and then used the coffee maker to brew some hot coffee. Once everything was ready, she finally untied her apron, yawned, and went back to her room. She sent Li Shengxiao a text, no longer able to fight off sleep, climbed onto the bed, turned off the light, and fell asleep.
Having been busy running around all day, she was so tired she could barely keep her eyes open. She fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the bed…
The night sky was draped low, with stars twinkling in the sky, blinking on the horizon. The insects in the bushes buzzed, playing a night-time trio, and even the small birds on the treetops flew home to sleep.
In the study, the handsome man who had finished dealing with overseas business grew tired and ended the video call. He leaned back in his chair to relax, pinched the bridge of his nose, and shut his eyes for a rest. It was quite a while before he reopened them, intending to take a bath first, but upon standing up, he noticed the screen of his phone flickering.
He had only two phone numbers saved in this phone: one was Li Duidui and the other was Rong Yan.
At this hour, the little guy wouldn’t be messaging him.
It could only be one person!
He picked up his phone, half-closed his eyes, and glanced at it. The message was from Rong Yan, a simple one sent two hours earlier.
[I made you some midnight snacks in the kitchen, you can have some if you’re hungry after your work.]
It was followed by a cute emoticon.
Midnight snacks?
A ripple of emotion surged through Li Shengxiao’s heart, a tenderness he had never felt before. Holding his phone, he strode out of the study and, sure enough, saw the hot coffee in the coffee machine and the buns kept warm in the steamer.
The round little buns, small and delicate, steaming hot—though not typically the type of food he preferred, he reached out to turn off the microwave switch and took out the buns. Then he poured himself a cup of coffee and returned to the living room. He elegantly pulled out a dining chair, sat down, and began to eat slowly.
Both the buns and the coffee retained their warmth, warming his stomach pleasantly, just like how her presence in his life had brightened his world!
He ate most of what Rong Yan had made, bite by bite, but couldn’t finish all of it. Li Shengxiao carefully wrapped the remaining food with cling film, sealed it, and put it in a separate compartment of the fridge that no one else had used, treasuring it…
For the next two days, Rong Yan was too busy to touch the ground, completely immersing herself in the recording studio, practicing over and over the performance for the upcoming evening event.
Because it was the debut of “When the Forest is Deep, I See Deer,” written for her by Zhong Yuye, and her first song, Rong Yan took it very seriously. She meticulously practiced every note, afraid of accidentally making a mistake during the performance.
“When the Forest is Deep, I See Deer” was a love song, one with a beautiful and imaginative concept. Estelle had told her that the TV station would provide her with backup dancers and a live band. She didn’t need to worry about the stage setup, but because of Rong Weiwei’s recent scandal, the TV station director had decided she should go live without a specific rehearsal for choreography or staging.
The day of the event arrived in the blink of an eye.
Rong Yan kissed Little Baby goodbye early, sent him off in the car sent by Lin Zhiya’s butler, bade farewell to Little Baby hurriedly, and rushed to KT Entertainment.
