Xiao Lang took a sip of wine with Li’s father, then turned to look at Li Mingxi, only to meet her displeased gaze.
Xiao Lang smiled slightly and continued chatting with Li’s grandmother and others.
He was quite eloquent, gentle, and polite, leaving a deep impression on Li’s grandmother and others who increasingly liked him.
Li Mingxi ate her meal quietly, feeling invisible.
Finally finishing her meal, she stood up and said, "I’m going to the hospital; Xiao Lang, are you coming or not, let’s go together."
Li’s grandmother playfully scolded her, "Xiao Lang just finished eating, and you want to rush him off? Sit down, have some fruit, and rest for a while before leaving."
"But I have to go to the hospital to handle some things."
"Then you go first; Xiao Lang can stay and keep me company, chatting with this old lady."
Li Mingxi glared at Xiao Lang, signaling him to be sensible.
Xiao Lang, catching her gaze, smiled at Li’s grandmother and said, "Grandma, I also have something urgent to attend to. I’ll come visit you another day, okay?"
Li’s grandmother, understanding that they had things to talk about, didn’t insist on keeping them.
"Go ahead, just remember to visit next time."
"Definitely."
Li Mingxi really wanted to say, don’t say definitely; don’t come again in the future.
But she dare not say such things in front of her family; the more you say, the more mistakes you make.
Saying goodbye to Li’s grandmother and others, Xiao Lang followed Li Mingxi out of the living room.
His car was parked outside the house, and Li Mingxi decided not to drive but to ride in his car.
"Get in; I have something to ask you." She opened the car door first, got in, and said to him flatly.
Xiao Lang raised an eyebrow and got in as well.
"Take me to the hospital."
"Alright."
Xiao Lang started the car and slowly drove away.
Li Mingxi turned her head to ask him, "Why did you come today? I didn’t invite you to my house as a guest, did I?"
Xiao Lang laughed, "I came to visit your grandmother and your parents."
"Under what pretext did you visit them?"
"As your friend."
"Can a friend just visit my family like that?"
"Why not?"
Li Mingxi didn’t want to beat around the bush anymore, "Just be honest; why exactly did you come today? What did you say to my family?"
Xiao Lang pursed his lips, unwilling to say.
Li Mingxi wouldn’t let him off the hook: "I’m giving you a chance now, confess leniently, resist severely. If you don’t say it, I’ll ask them and find out anyway."
Xiao Lang glanced at her and smiled awkwardly.
"I didn’t do much; just told them about our past relationship."
Li Mingxi widened her eyes, "That’s not doing much?!"
Xiao Lang seriously said, "Our past relationship is real; this is something you cannot deny."
"Fine, what else?" She didn’t believe he came just to say that.
If he only said that, how could her family be so nice to him?
Xiao Lang hesitated for a moment, then confessed honestly, "Then I proposed to your family, and they agreed to me being with you..."
"What did you say?!" Li Mingxi was incredulous, her eyes wide.
"I told your family that I want to marry you, and they’re not against us."
"Who told you to say that?!"
"I thought, if I want to marry you, I should first seek your family’s consent. Mingxi, your grandmother really likes me; the elderly always have keen judgment. Their acceptance of me proves I’m a very suitable choice," Xiao Lang answered evasively.
Li Mingxi was speechless towards him; now it’s clear, her family definitely sided with him.
