"Xiao Xi is upstairs?"

When Zhao Tong heard that voice, he turned and saw Jiang Li standing outside the first-floor lobby. He hadn’t come into the lobby to enjoy the air conditioning and sit on the sofa; instead, he was waiting outside, and it was probably because... Zhao Tong saw the pile of cigarette butts at his feet, which should be the answer to why Jiang Li didn’t enter the lobby.

Ying Xi’s apartment complex was a high-end establishment with strict management, where smoking was prohibited in all public areas.

Although Zhao Tong didn’t know the specifics of what had happened, he was clear that Ying Xi was feeling so down and dejected because of Jiang Li.

So, when he heard Jiang Li’s voice, Zhao Tong actually felt a bit fiery.

But upon turning and seeing Jiang Li’s appearance, he felt like his anger might be unnecessary.

Seeing him as if finally reassured, Zhao Tong couldn’t help but frown.

"Xiao Xi is alright? I saw you just ordered him some food? It’s all barbecue and alcohol; isn’t he eating properly?" Jiang Li asked, his tone laden with a request, "How about I buy him some nutritious and light food, and just say it’s from you, okay?"

"That’s... fine." Zhao Tong didn’t refuse, but he couldn’t help himself, "But you..."
