My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Personally peeled a shrimp for him
She had already ordered seven or eight dishes, yet somehow, in his eyes, it seemed like she hadn’t ordered enough.

Rong Yan felt awkward for a moment and said, “For now, that’s all.”

“If possible, could you also get me a glass of juice? I read online that their freshly squeezed juices are quite good. Since we’re here, do you want to try it too?”

No sooner had she finished speaking than she regretted it.

Oh, how could she have forgotten about this man’s status, treating him as if he were an ordinary person like herself?

Drinks like freshly squeezed juice, which she considered low-end, might be something that he scorned even to sip in his daily life.

She remembered that the refrigerator at Dihor Garden stocked only Evian brand mineral water, the kind that cost two to three hundred a bottle from the high-end series. It made her so nervous that she never dared to drink water from the fridge, usually just filling her own mug from the water dispenser.

Just as she was about to say to disregard her previous offer, she heard the man’s unexpectedly cheerful voice, “Sure, I’ll grab a glass and join you!”

What did he mean by joining her?

Rong Yan watched him walk away, stunned.

Ten minutes later, Li Shengxiao brought over everything she had ordered.

The table was swiftly filled with various small plates, and the server had brought over the matsutake mushroom hot pot while he was away grabbing the dishes. As Rong Yan was busy cooking the lobster in it, she saw another steaming hot dish of scallops appear before her.

The fragrant scent of minced garlic hit her nose, and she glanced up with a subtle lift of her eyes, saying, “You’re back? The shrimp will be ready soon; I’ve peeled one for you and put it in your bowl.”

Li Shengxiao caught sight of the tender shrimp meat in his own bowl and felt a contentment like never before. Seizing the tongs from her hand, he said, “Let me do that.”

“Uh.” Rong Yan suddenly found herself jobless, watching as he deftly used the tongs to place abalones and other items into the pot one by one, then filled her bowl with the cooked food. Yet his own bowl remained empty, except for that single shrimp!

“I should do it—by the time you finish, you won’t have anything to eat tonight!” Rong Yan couldn’t stand it anymore, snatched back the tongs without another word, and began filling his bowl with plenty of food until it was piled high and could hold no more. Only then did she set the tongs aside and declare, “That’s enough. Before we finish eating, nobody is allowed to serve the other. Once we’re done, we can add more. Otherwise, if you don’t eat, it’s no fun for me to eat alone.”

If Gu Ming were here, seeing Rong Yan use the tongs to fill that man’s bowl full of seafood would probably make him sweat bullets.

Anyone in Capital City who had come into contact with Li Shengxiao knew that the man was a germaphobe.

Those who had the chance to invite him for a meal and managed to get a hint of his habits would almost never choose hot pot or similar foods. And even if someone didn’t know this and chose hot pot, once they realized Li Shengxiao’s obsession with cleanliness, they wouldn’t dare to force him to eat from it.

But Rong Yan, not having thought too much about it, filled his bowl to the brim.

And Li Shengxiao, after giving the filling bowl a glance, surprisingly picked up the chopsticks casually and began to eat with composure.

“How’s the taste?” Rong Yan was concerned, after all, it was her recommended place, and she feared he wouldn’t enjoy the food.

The elegant man took a bite of the shrimp she had peeled for him and lifted his head with a satisfied expression, “Good, very sweet!”

Indeed, it was very sweet, at least he had never tasted shrimp this sweet before!

The flavor was damn good!

And it made everything else in the bowl taste sweeter too!
