However, she would not be with him.
Li Mingxi felt that she was too tolerant of Xiao Lang; she should be more ruthless.
"So what if my family agrees? I’m not choosing you; are they going to force me?" Li Mingxi said coldly.
Xiao Lang’s mood turned somber: "I don’t understand, what exactly did I do wrong? Why do you reject me so much? Even if I have to die, you should at least let me die knowing why."
"The reason is simple, I don’t love you!"
"..." Xiao Lang’s throat tightened; every time he heard her say this, his heart twisted in pain.
Although he told himself it was a lie, he still felt miserable.
"Then who do you love?" He looked at her and asked in a deep voice.
Li Mingxi looked ahead: "I don’t love anyone."
"If you don’t love anyone, why would you rather consider Li Qian but not consider me?"
"...because you love me."
Xiao Lang suddenly pulled the car over to the side of the road. He grabbed her by the shoulders, his dark eyes peering into hers.
"What do you mean by that?!"
Li Mingxi fearlessly looked straight into his eyes: "Just what the words mean."
"Just because I love you, that’s why you won’t choose me?!"
"Yes."
Xiao Lang was deeply hurt: "Why? Is it wrong that I love you?"
"You’re not wrong, I just don’t want to owe anyone anything. Li Qian respects me; he’s willing to live a respectful, peaceful married life with me. I prefer that type of life, do you understand?"
"Li Mingxi, you’re just brushing me off!" Xiao Lang tightened his grip on her arm, refusing to believe what she said. "That’s a lousy excuse. You should come up with a better one!"
Li Mingxi pushed him away, curling her lips into a cold smile: "The best excuse is I do whatever I want; it’s none of your business!"
After saying that, she pushed open the door and got out, slamming the car door shut.
Xiao Lang stared blankly as she flagged down a taxi and drove away.
[I do whatever I want; it’s none of your business...]
Is that really how she feels?
Did his feelings for her not move her at all?
Xiao Lang realized he could no longer understand Li Mingxi.
Is it because she lives too freely, while he is too attached to affection, that they aren’t suitable for each other?
But if she isn’t suitable for him, then who could be?
...
That day, Xiao Lang didn’t go looking for Li Mingxi again.
Li Mingxi threw herself into work and forgot about his existence.
In the afternoon, after work, Li Qian came to pick her up, and Li Mingxi didn’t refuse.
Getting into Li Qian’s car, Li Mingxi said, "Let’s go see Doudou."
Li Qian was slightly stunned, "Okay."
He didn’t ask much, driving her to a villa in the suburbs.
Doudou was very happy to see his father.
Having met Li Mingxi twice before and received some fun toys from her, Doudou also liked Li Mingxi very much.
"Auntie, let’s play with this," Doudou tugged at her hand, looking at her shyly and expectantly.
"Sure," Li Mingxi agreed with a smile, sitting on the floor and playing with blocks with Doudou.
Li Qian was in the kitchen cooking; every time he came here, he would personally cook for Doudou.
Hearing the laughter from the living room, one big one small, Li Qian’s lips couldn’t help but curl into a smile.
"Sir, is that your girlfriend?" a servant assisting him cautiously asked.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Not quite yet."
"Sir, I think Miss Li is a good person and is very kind to Doudou," the servant said, hinting subtly.
Li Qian smiled without saying anything further.
