The two people were so polite that it made them laugh.
...
Li Qian sent Li Mingxi home but didn’t go inside; he just left.
Li Mingxi walked into the living room, and Grandma Li, who was watching TV, smiled at her.
"Did Li Qian send you home?"
"Yes." Li Mingxi smiled helplessly.
"Why not invite him in for a meal? He was right at the door; you should at least offer him a cup of tea."
"He said he had something to do, so he didn’t come in." Li Mingxi didn’t dare say more and pointed upstairs, "Grandma, I’ll go change my clothes first."
"Wait a moment." Grandma Li stopped her, "How are things going with you and Li Qian now?"
"It’s okay."
Li Mingxi didn’t say anything more and quickly went upstairs.
Downstairs, Grandma Li and Li’s mother were happy; it seemed this year they would finally be able to marry off Li Mingxi.
Other families were reluctant to marry off their daughters, but their family was eager for her to marry soon.
Li Mingxi changed her clothes and came downstairs to eat with her family.
At the dinner table, the topic of conversation was still about her marriage.
Grandma Li laughed, "We haven’t had a celebration in our family for a long time, have we?"
"Yes, it’s been decades." Li’s mother echoed.
"If Mingxi gets married this time, we must invite everyone and make it a grand event; don’t be stingy with money."
"Mom, I think so too."
Listening to Grandma and mother’s excited voices, Li Mingxi sighed inwardly.
If she didn’t get married, would they collectively faint from anger? Would she end up being abandoned by her family?
Now she’s really caught between a rock and a hard place.
Li Mingxi finished eating and went to the bedroom to work, mainly researching Xiao Lang’s eye problem.
She was worried his condition would relapse, so she had to prepare in advance, to prevent any mishaps.
Li Mingxi first called her teacher for advice, then consulted Xiao Zexin.
As a result, they didn’t know how to prevent it either; they could only treat it once Xiao Lang’s condition actually flared up.
...
Meanwhile, Xiao Lang went to visit the Ruan Family.
Upon hearing from the servant that Xiao Lang was visiting, Ruan Tianling raised an eyebrow.
"What is he here for?"
Jian Yufei directly said to the servant, "Quickly invite him in."
"Yes."
Ruan Tianling looked at Jian Yufei, smiling but not genuinely.
Jian Yufei patted his arm, "Starting to overthink again, do you have paranoia?"
"I’m just curious why he’d suddenly come."
"You’ll find out if you ask."
Xiao Lang soon walked into the living room, and Jian Yufei warmly invited him to sit down, then asked the servant to serve him tea.
Ruan Tianling couldn’t stand seeing Jian Yufei being nice to another man.
He said lightly to her, "You should go rest. Xiao Lang must be here to see me for something."
He wanted to separate them, not giving them a chance to interact.
Xiao Lang picked up the teacup and took a sip, laughing, "Actually, I’m here to see Yufei."
Ruan Tianling’s smile grew colder, "Why do you want to see my wife? Are you here to reminisce?"
"I wanted to ask her for a favor."
Ruan Tianling said amusingly, "If you need help, shouldn’t you come to me? Now my wife is only focused on resting; what help can she possibly offer you?"
Jian Yufei was also curious about what favor Xiao Lang wanted from her.
Xiao Lang looked at her and said in a low voice, "Can we talk privately?"
"No way!" Ruan Tianling refused directly, "Say it in front of me, you can’t talk privately."
Xiao Lang knew Ruan Tianling was still wary of him.
He laughed, "Rest assured, I now only see Yufei as a sister; I have no other intentions."
