"What do you mean contrary? Am I eager for love now?" Li Mingxi retorted.
"At least you’ve experienced love now, haven’t you?"
Li Mingxi was at a loss for words, "You’re right."
Li Qian rested his chin on his hand and stared at her, asking, "Let me guess, you’ve only now found love. Does that mean your brain is only now waking up? I’ve never seen a woman develop this late. These days, even elementary school kids are talking about relationships, right?"
Li Mingxi rolled her eyes at him, "This has nothing to do with waking up."
"Oh, then it’s because you haven’t met the right person." Li Qian teased with a smile.
Li Mingxi agreed with this statement. She hadn’t met someone who made her heart flutter, hence the delay.
But now, the older she gets, the more cautious she becomes.
"Alright, enough with other topics. Aren’t you curious why I called you today?"
"Why is that?"
Just then, the waiter pushed the door open and brought their dishes.
Li Mingxi picked up her cup and took a sip of tea, countering, "Guess, did I accept or reject you?"
"With my charm, you must have accepted me." Li Qian replied casually with a laugh.
Li Mingxi nodded, "You’re right, I accepted you. Let’s get married at the end of the month."
"Pfft—" Li Qian spat out his tea, "Cough cough... Sorry, what did you just say?"
Li Mingxi chuckled, "You heard right, I agreed to marry you at the end of the month."
Li Qian stared at her in surprise, "Really?"
"Really."
"Have you thought it through?"
"Absolutely sure."
"Enjoy your meal." The waiter set down the dishes and respectfully left.
As soon as the private room door closed, the manager came over and whispered to the waiter, "The boss wants to see you in his office."
The waiter, puzzled, headed towards the boss’s office.
Knocking on the door, a deep voice came from inside, "Come in."
The waiter pushed the door open and entered—
"Boss, you wanted to see me?"
Xiao Lang sat behind the desk, lightly tapping his fingers on the surface.
"Did the guests you just served say anything?"
"They did." The waiter, though unsure why he was being asked about this, answered honestly.
"What did they say?"
The waiter thought for a moment and decided to repeat their conversation.
"I went in and happened to hear that lady say, ’Guess what, did I accept or reject you?’"
"And the gentleman replied, ’With my charm, you must have accepted me.’
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lang’s nerves tensed.
"And what did the lady say next?"
"She said, ’You’re right, I accepted you, let’s get married at the end of the month...’
Xiao Lang suddenly stood up!
"What did you say?!" He stared at the waiter, eyes dark and sharp.
The waiter shrank back his neck, "Boss, I repeated their exact words, not a single word different..."
"Repeat the last sentence again."
"The lady said, ’You’re right, I accepted you, let’s get married at the end of the month.’
"Impossible! She wouldn’t say that!" Xiao Lang denied coldly, "Did you hear wrong?!"
Seeing Xiao Lang’s poor expression, the waiter lost any curiosity about their relationship.
He lowered his head cautiously, "Boss, I didn’t hear wrong. The gentleman also thought he heard wrong and confirmed twice, and the lady answered affirmatively both times."
