My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Li Shengxiao lifted his head, his strikingly handsome face three-dimensional and perfectly shaped, his thin lips resembling a beckoning for a kiss, now tinged with a rouge-like red from the spicy pepper, as if seducing one into committing a sin!

Holy shit!

Rong Yan forced herself to look away with difficulty, knitting her brows as she watched him with concern, “Doesn’t it feel spicy to you?”

She had added so much pepper.

Even the Devil’s Pepper was in there, because both she and Little Baby liked it spicy, and yet he managed to eat that piece of chicken without changing his expression.

Sharp, fiery sting slid down his throat and burned all the way into his stomach, but, to his damnation, he found the sensation not displeasing and even wanted to keep trying.

“Not spicy.”

“Not spicy? Impossible, right? How can it not be spicy with all the peppers I put in? Could the vegetable seller have deceived me? Were they not authentic bird’s eye chilis?” In disbelief, Rong Yan picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of the spicy chicken. The fiery taste hit her taste buds the moment it was in her mouth, and it had been a long time since she’d eaten so boldly. It was so spicy that she almost choked, “Cough, cough.”

“Mom, water!” Little Baby, sitting beside her, was super nervous as he quickly passed her the water she had just poured for him.

Rong Yan hastily took the cup and gulped down more than half of it, finally quelling the burning, spicy flavor on her taste buds.

“You call this not spicy?” she said, her eyes wide as if seeing a ghost.

She found it spicy and yet he, who didn’t eat spicy food, said it wasn’t spicy?

Without the slightest change in facial color or heartbeat, Li Shengxiao picked up another piece and placed it back in his bowl, “I can handle this; it’s not particularly spicy.”

Facing a large plate of brightly colored spicy chicken, Rong Yan had an expression that said more than words could.

If it were any spicier, she would have had to cook everything with just bird’s eye chilis alone.

If she had used only bird’s eye chilis, she would probably not have dared to eat it.

Although she still couldn’t understand how a plate of chicken fried entirely with peppers wasn’t spicy, seeing Li Shengxiao and Little Baby eat with such relish, seemingly with good appetites, she gradually let go of her doubts and started eating earnestly as well.

“Mom, eat this!” Rong Yan was comfortably enjoying her meal with narrowed eyes.

A spicy chicken wing was placed in her bowl.

Little Baby looked at her with his cute, sweet eyes.

“Thank you, Baby~” Rong Yan sweetly accepted it with a smile and reciprocated by picking out his favorite dish for him.

Little Baby was eating adorably, chomping away.

His cheeks puffed in and out, which made her appetite improve as well. Just as she turned to resume her meal, a chicken leg also found its way into her bowl.

This…

Clearly wasn’t given to her by Little Baby!

Rong Yan lifted her head and indeed, locked eyes with a pair of deep and domineering ones, “You’re too skinny; eat more and put on some weight.”

Was she skinny?

Her figure seemed just right.

If she gained more weight, her face wouldn’t look good on camera.

Rong Yan looked at the chicken leg and wing in her bowl, prodding them with her chopsticks. She didn’t want to eat, but now that they were in her bowl, it seemed she had no choice.

Rong Yan took a deep breath and resignedly picked up the larger piece first, bowing her head to eat.

Li Shengxiao kept a firm eye on her every move, and seeing her pick up the chicken leg to eat first, his mood inexplicably brightened, and his thin lips pursed slightly, a faint curve visible at the edges.

Feeling better, even the food before him seemed tastier. Li Shengxiao had an unusually good appetite that evening and ate a bit more than usual.
