My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 525: Chapter 525: No One Pays Attention to Her

Li Duidui listened as if she was trying to squeeze out her own mommy, and her pretty little face immediately turned sour. She pursed her lips, unwilling to even acknowledge her.

Li Shengxiao had even less intention to pay her any mind, serving Rong Yan a piece of her favorite dish as if the buzzing sound of her talking was no more than a mosquito’s whine.

Even Lin Zhiya could see through her scheming and didn’t want to chime in. freēwēbnovel.com

Cui Jiangjing watched her coldly, listening to Shen Siyuan transition from talking about studying abroad to the scenery of Mo Nuoge, and asked with a light smile, “I remember you all used to like the retirement work of Mo Nuoge’s national treasure artist. When I was studying abroad, I even paid a visit to the artist’s former home. The artist’s granddaughter mentioned that next time she could let me bring friends to see the original work. When do you all have the time, maybe we can go see it together?”

Seeing that she wasn’t getting the hint and still trying to edge Rong Yan out, Cui Jiangjing said indifferently, “I’m not interested. Those are matters of many years ago. We have all grown up. Your brother, and all of us, have long since forgotten about those old times. You don’t need to remember them so clearly, it’s meaningless!”

His last word, “meaningless,” was clearly loaded, leaving Shen Siyuan embarrassingly unable to save face…

“Did I say something I shouldn’t have? It seems like ever since just now, I’ve been the only one talking nonstop…” She caught on quickly and immediately smoothed over the atmosphere while maintaining her composure and grace.

Lin Zhiya didn’t want to embarrass her further, so at this moment, she added, “It’s not that you said anything wrong, it’s just that what you’re talking about is from a long time ago. Jiangjing and the others are a few years older than you, they might have already forgotten about those things.”

She spoke more tactfully than Cui Jiangjing, but the message was the same, signaling her not to bring up the past anymore.

Shen Siyuan was somewhat embarrassed before, but after Lin Zhiya finished speaking, she was truly mortified. “I just thought Shengxiao and the others might be interested. I haven’t seen them in such a long time, and suddenly seeing them, I couldn’t help reminiscing about the times we played together as kids.”

“Being a kid is one thing, but growing up is another. After all, they have grown up and are busy with work, while you have just finished your studies. It’s very normal that your social circles might not align,” Lin Zhiya adroitly turned the conversation away from childhood memories, and smilingly addressed everyone at the table, “Alright, stop getting caught up in conversations. Try our cooking. Didn’t we say earlier that you’d guess which dish was made by me and which by Yan?”

Cui Jiangjing immediately burst into a laid-back laugh and picked up the conversation, “Mrs. Lin hasn’t even said what the reward is for guessing right. Just guessing isn’t much fun.”

Lin Zhiya playfully glared at him, yet her eyes and brows radiated with the warmth of an elder, “What reward do you want? Isn’t it reward enough that I serve you delicious food?”

“I want…” Cui Jiangjing stole a glance at the tall and handsome man, shamelessly leaning over and saying, “Xiao, I remember Li Group is looking to launch a new project in Krea. Why not plan to include a hospital in your project?”

This was absolutely a huge demand, just a small game, and he was asking for a reward in the billions!

Li Shengxiao raised his head, his dark hawk-like eyes fell on him, and his thin lips barely touched as he said, “As long as you can guess correctly, a hospital can be included!”
