Chapter 2870: The Abandoned Loyal Hound
The plane quickly arrived in A City.
In fact, they had only been away for a few days, but they both felt like they’d been gone for a very long time. Yet it also seemed as if they had only been away for a short while, had a blast while outside, and then rushed back.
In any case, at this moment, Li Mingxi and Xiao Lang both had very complicated feelings in their hearts.
After getting their luggage, Xiao Lang pushed the cart with one hand and wrapped his other arm around Li Mingxi’s body, heading towards the airport hall exit.
Li Mingxi didn’t keep her distance from him and let him hold her.
"Mr. Xiao?!"
As they were walking, suddenly someone approached them with a look of surprise on their face, staring at Xiao Lang.
Li Mingxi looked over and saw a woman wearing sunglasses, looking very fashionable.
The woman looked somewhat familiar...
But Xiao Lang recognized her immediately.
He greeted the woman: "Miss Ma, hello."
Li Mingxi realized, no wonder she looked familiar, she seemed to be some big celebrity.
Impressive, Xiao Lang, knowing big celebrities.
"Mr. Xiao, what a coincidence to meet you here." Miss Ma politely extended her hand.
Xiao Lang released Li Mingxi’s shoulder and shook hands with her: "Miss Ma, are you going on a business trip?"
"Yes, I’m rushing out of town for a shoot. Mr. Xiao, is this your girlfriend?" Miss Ma’s gaze fell on Li Mingxi’s face.
Li Mingxi smiled faintly; she couldn’t possibly explain that they were just friends.
Would friends really be hugging each other like that?
Xiao Lang pulled Li Mingxi back into his embrace: "Miss Ma must be very pressed for time, so we’ll get going first and not delay you any further."
Xiao Lang didn’t explain his relationship with Li Mingxi, and Miss Ma understood, not asking further, and smiled as she bid them farewell.
Li Mingxi immediately freed herself from Xiao Lang’s hand, pretending to want to take the luggage.
"I can go back by myself later; I want to go home first." Li Mingxi said to him.
She didn’t want to go back to the apartment with him since Wen Ning was still staying in her apartment.
If the two of them went back together, what would Wen Ning think of them?
Actually, it’s not that she was afraid of Wen Ning knowing about their relationship, but she just didn’t want others to find out so abruptly.
Moreover, she still had an engagement with Li Qian, and at the very least, she wanted to sort things out with Li Qian first.
Xiao Lang’s expression became somewhat indifferent upon seeing her reaction.
"I’ll take you home."
"No need, I’ll catch a taxi directly."

"I’ll take you!" Xiao Lang insisted.
But Li Mingxi was even more adamant: "Really, no need! I’m leaving now, you should go back and rest early too."
Li Mingxi turned around with her luggage and left without daring to look back, feeling quite guilty.
Isn’t she acting like she did something and now refuses to acknowledge it?
But at this moment, she really couldn’t be with Xiao Lang.
The airport was bustling with people, and there could be many acquaintances.
If they were seen together, rumors would spread rapidly among the high society of A City.
Li Qian was innocent, and she couldn’t let his family get caught up in a media storm.
In fact, Li Mingxi’s mind was a bit chaotic as well; she hadn’t figured out what to do next, so she just needed some time to calm down and carefully consider her next steps.
...
Li Mingxi hailed a taxi, put in her luggage, and got in.
She couldn’t help but glance out the window, seeing Xiao Lang standing not far away, looking at her with deep eyes, like a loyal dog that had been abandoned.
Li Mingxi suddenly felt so cruel.
She really was refusing to own up to what she’d done...
