Chapter 711: Chapter 711: My Dear Wife
Her tone was light, yet with a hint of playful reproach.
Rong Ling: “Hmm, can’t sleep because you’re thinking of me?”
Li Yufei: “No need to flatter yourself that much.”
Rong Ling: “I miss you too.”
He ate while looking at the camera.
Li Yufei’s room was dark.
From the camera, it looked pitch black.
She did it on purpose.
She was afraid if the lights were on, he would see the bandage on her forehead and ask about it.
She didn’t want to explain the origin of this wound.
Rong Ling: “You haven’t turned on the light in your room?”
Li Yufei: “No. I’m about to sleep.”
Rong Ling: “When will you sleep?”
Li Yufei: “After I finish dinner with you.”
Rong Ling smiled slightly: “The food here is terrible.”
Li Yufei: “Show me what you’re eating.”
Rong Ling obediently pushed the plate to the camera.
Li Yufei examined it for a moment.
Five slices of pizza, a serving of pasta, a vegetable salad, and a heap of something dark that looked like some bizarre dish.
Li Yufei frowned slightly: “What’s that dark stuff?”
Rong Ling: “Dessert.”
He took a bite of the pasta, chewing slowly.
He was not accustomed to talking while eating.
They just looked at each other through the screen.
Rong Ling finally noticed something amiss: “What’s that bandage on your forehead?”
By the light from the phone, he vaguely saw that her forehead was injured.
Li Yufei casually explained: “Uh… accidentally bumped my forehead.”
Rong Ling: “I see…”
He suddenly thought of something: “I saw in yesterday’s domestic news that the Li Family is acquiring Huake Group.”
Li Yufei: “You know Huake?”
Rong Ling: “Yeah.”
Li Yufei: “I want to buy Huake, leverage their R&D technology, and invest in the research on Regenerative Cell Factor.”
A slight twitch at the corner of Rong Ling’s lips, his tone turned somewhat odd: “To treat Du Shaoheng?”
Li Yufei: “Yes.”
Rong Ling: “Oh.”
Li Yufei: “You’re not happy?”
Rong Ling: “No.”
He didn’t admit it, but he felt a bit uneasy inside.
According to the news, the Li Family’s announcement of acquiring Huake involved a huge transaction of 300 billion, which seemed like Li Yufei was putting a lot of effort into it.
But rationally, Du Shaoheng is Junjun’s dad, and he could understand that Li Yufei still had feelings for Du Shaoheng.
It’s just that he wasn’t magnanimous enough.
Li Yufei: “Little one, are you jealous?”
Rong Ling pouted: “Who are you calling little one?”
Li Yufei: “Aren’t you the little one?”
Seeing Rong Ling’s eating motion slow down, she knew he was a bit jealous.
Rong Ling: “What if I say I’m jealous?”
Li Yufei: “Well, then I must think of a way to coax you properly.”
Rong Ling grew a bit interested, moved his handsome face closer to the camera, showing no dead angle in close-up: “How are you going to coax me?”
Li Yufei blushed slightly, pondered for a moment, and in a barely audible voice called out: “Hu… husband.”
Rong Ling furrowed his brows: “Didn’t catch that.”
Li Yufei turned over, lay on the bed, facing the camera and raised her voice a bit: “Husband!”
Rong Ling didn’t expect her to suddenly change and call him “husband.”
Before, when he coaxed her to call him that, she said they weren’t married yet, the time hadn’t come.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly changed, even if it was to coax him, Rong Ling felt delighted inside, a satisfied smile curled at the corner of his mouth: “Heard it!”
Now, it was Li Yufei’s turn to be dissatisfied: “I’ve changed what I call you, and you don’t show any response?”
Rong Ling brought his mouth close to the receiver, calling out: “My dear wife~~”
Li Yufei chuckled, “Heard it, at least your attitude is correct.”
Rong Ling: “Is the wound serious? I’ll blow on it for you.”
Li Yufei: “I don’t believe your breath can blow across the Pacific Ocean.”
Rong Ling: “Hahahaha.”
He let out a bright laugh, it was the first time she heard him laugh out loud.
Li Yufei placed the phone by her pillow, looking at the camera, and unwittingly fell asleep.
By the time the first light of the morning entered through the window.
Li Yufei opened her eyes, looked at the empty ceiling, and had a moment of blankness.
“Wife, you’re finally awake?”
The voice of Rong Ling came from the phone by her pillow.
Li Yufei furrowed her brows: “Did I accidentally fall asleep last night?”
Rong Ling: “Yes, I even heard you snoring, grinding your teeth, and drooling.”
Li Yufei abruptly sat up, wiped her mouth with her hand, finding no traces of drool.
Did she snore?
And even drooled?
“Hahahaha!”
Rong Ling said: “I was just teasing you.”
Li Yufei pursed her lips tightly, grabbed the phone.
On the other side of the camera, Rong Ling sat in the study, resting his chin on one hand, lazily twirling a pen with the other as if doing homework.
Li Yufei: “I fell asleep, why didn’t you hang up?”
Rong Ling: “Well, while I was eating, I saw you fall asleep, knew you were exhausted. But, watching you sleep is so cute, I couldn’t bear to hang up.”
Li Yufei furrowed her brows: “You don’t have classes this afternoon?”
Rong Ling: “I wore headphones, listened to class while watching you sleep.”
Li Yufei: “You’re really quite playful.”
Rong Ling: “It feels like you’re by my side, it makes me feel very at ease.”
Li Yufei sighed, rubbed her brows: “You scared me, I thought I really snored while sleeping.”
Snoring is a condition.
She’s quite conscious about her health.
Rong Ling: “No, you sleep very quietly, I couldn’t even hear your breathing.”
Li Yufei: “It’s getting late, it’s also late for you over there, go to sleep early.”
Rong Ling: “Okay.”
He proactively placed his face close to the screen: “Give me a kiss.”
Li Yufei: “Childish.”
Rong Ling: “I want it.”
Li Yufei: “How old are you? Through the screen, my lips can’t reach you.”
Though she said that, she cooperatively kissed the screen.
After she kissed it, she suddenly realized she actually performed such a childish action.
Rong Ling heard the sound of her kiss, feeling content, “I’m going to rest now, goodnight, wife.”
Li Yufei: “Goodnight.”
Hanging up the call, she looked at the call duration.
Exactly eleven hours.
She had slept nearly until noon.
She missed the morning meeting.
But, Shao Chen probably noticed she had been very tired recently, so he didn’t call to wake her.
It’s been a long time since she had such a peaceful sleep.
…
Hospital.
Li Yufei held a bouquet of flowers in her arms, walked to the ward door, and gently knocked.
Guan Yue came over to open the door and smiled when she saw her: “Yufei, you’re here.”
Li Yufei: “I’m here to see Shaoheng.”
Guan Yue: “He just happens to be awake.”
After saying this, she turned to the bed and said: “Shaoheng, Yufei is here to see you.”
