Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2789: We Only Drink Alcohol

Li Mingxi wouldn’t give up and kept dialing.

The phone rang repeatedly, but Xiao Lang never answered.

Li Mingxi finally understood how he felt when he called her and she didn’t pick up.

Anxious and disappointed.

After several attempts with no answer from Xiao Lang, she had no choice but to call Di Sheng.

She told him Xiao Lang was drunk and she couldn’t reach him, urging him to find him quickly to prevent any accidents.

Di Sheng acknowledged her, then hung up.

In fact, Di Sheng had been trailing Xiao Lang all along.

As Xiao Lang’s bodyguard, of course, he followed him every day.

But seeing Xiao Lang was alright, just drunk, Di Sheng refrained from intervening.

Xiao Lang lay on the table for a while, and not hearing the ringtone anymore, he lifted his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.

Has she given up so soon?

Perhaps he truly overestimated his importance in her heart.

Just as Xiao Lang was contemplating this, his phone suddenly rang again.

Thinking it was Li Mingxi, he eagerly answered: "Hello!"

"Brother Xiao, it’s me, do you have some time? I’d like to treat you to some coffee." Wen Ning cautiously asked from the other end.

Not having reached out to or seen him for several days, Wen Ning could no longer endure the pain of longing, so she called him proactively.

Xiao Lang smiled once, but it was a mocking smile.

Wen Ning’s voice suddenly sounded much more forlorn: "Sorry, if you’re busy, just forget it."

"I’m drinking, you might as well come," Xiao Lang said blandly.

For some reason, at this moment he couldn’t bear to reject Wen Ning.

The truth was, she was just like him—pitiful people who loved but were unable to obtain that love.

Xiao Lang was merely drunk, his brain had lost reason, his emotions fragile, which led him to agree to Wen Ning’s visit.

Had he been sober, he certainly wouldn’t have given Wen Ning any chance.

But right now, he just wanted someone to drink with him, regardless of who that someone was.

...

When Wen Ning arrived, Xiao Lang had already consumed a lot of alcohol.

She approached and supported him with concern: "Brother Xiao, what happened to you, why did you drink so much?"

"Drink?" Xiao Lang handed her a bottle, and with a faint pull of his lips, he smiled and said, "Let’s not say anything, don’t ask questions, just drink, okay?"

Wen Ning took the bottle: "Okay."

Subsequently, Wen Ning sat quietly beside him, not disturbing him.

She didn’t know what was troubling him so deeply, but seeing him like this made her heart ache too.

Truth be told, Wen Ning was quite a remarkable girl.

She was excellent in every way, perceptive and empathetic, the most important thing being she liked Xiao Lang.

Unfortunately, Xiao Lang’s heart was already occupied by another woman, and he could only apologize to her.

Eventually, Xiao Lang drank until he threw up.

Wen Ning helped him out of the bathroom and said, "Brother Xiao, let me take you home; you can’t drink anymore."

Xiao Lang said nothing, and Wen Ning took his silence as agreement.

She struggled to assist him into the car, started it, but suddenly realized she didn’t know where Xiao Lang lived.

"Brother Xiao, where do you live?"

She shook him and asked repeatedly before finally getting the address.

...

Li Mingxi was constantly distracted, her mind preoccupied with Xiao Lang.

She wondered if Di Sheng had found Xiao Lang yet.

Unable to hold back, Li Mingxi called Di Sheng: "Did you find Xiao Lang?"

"Young Master is already home," Di Sheng replied indifferently.

"Did he get drunk?"

"Mm."

"How is he now?"
