Chapter 2883: To Go or Not to Go
Li Qian quietly accompanied her, always feeling that Li Mingxi was another version of him.
They both harbored a lot of helplessness, pain, and heartache.
Yet, their helplessness was something they couldn’t share with anyone...
Li Mingxi drank a lot, eventually drinking until she threw up.
The sky grew darker, and finally, nothing could be seen.
Li Qian called his subordinates to come and drive. When his subordinate arrived, he helped Li Mingxi into his car.
The two cars left the seaside together.
Li Mingxi was completely drunk, and she did it on purpose. Drunk meant she wouldn’t have to grapple with whether to meet Xiao Lang.
But deep down, she never really forgot about it.
"I want to find Xiao Lang... take me... take me..."
She hazily tugged at Li Qian’s arm, and he asked her earnestly, "Do you really want to go? If you want to go, I’ll take you."
Li Mingxi shook her head, "No, I won’t go... I don’t want to go..."
"Are you going or not?"
"I want to go!"
Li Qian couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you sure?"
"I’m not going!"
"Giving you one last chance, are you going or not?"
"...not going."
"Really?"
Li Qian waited for a long time but didn’t get her answer. He glanced over and found she had fallen asleep.
Li Qian chuckled, thinking she really didn’t want to go. Since she didn’t want to, then let it be.
Li Qian took Li Mingxi back to the Li Family instead of her apartment.
In this state, she definitely needed someone to take care of her.
The car arrived outside the Li Family’s gate, and it was already eleven at night.
Upon learning that Li Mingxi was brought back by Li Qian, the Li Family was quite surprised.
Li Qian escorted Li Mingxi into the house and left without lingering.
Li’s mother instructed the servants to help Li Mingxi upstairs and lay her comfortably on the bed.
She personally removed Li Mingxi’s shoes and fetched a towel to wipe her face.
"Child, why did you get so drunk? Did Xiao Lang not manage to return?"
Li’s mother’s questions naturally received no answers.
At this moment, Xiao Lang was still seated in the Wanderer’s Restaurant, having not moved at all.
"Boss, it’s almost midnight, do you want to continue waiting?" a waiter approached cautiously to ask him.
Xiao Lang lowered his eyes slightly, his face expressionless.
He didn’t speak, so the waiter silently left.
The clock on the wall ticked away second by second, soon it was midnight.
Li Mingxi lay in bed sleeping uneasily, and Xiao Lang’s heart instantly grew cold and frosty.
Midnight had passed, and Li Mingxi didn’t come.
Her choice was clearly made...
...
"No, no..."
Li Mingxi furrowed her brows in distress, unsure of what she dreamt of, suddenly waking up frightened!
She sat up in bed, wide-eyed, not yet fully alert.
After a few seconds, she gradually came to her senses, realizing it was just a nightmare.
Li Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed the alarm clock beside the bed with one hand, seeing the time, her entire body went cold.
Now, it was already ten in the morning the next day...
Her birthday had passed, last night was over.
She hadn’t gone to find Xiao Lang, and Xiao Lang had given up on her...
At this moment, Li Mingxi lacked even the strength to hold the alarm clock.
Her hand loosened, and the alarm clock rolled onto the floor.
Li’s mother opened the door and entered, happening to see her in this despondent state.
"What’s the matter, are you feeling unwell?" Li’s mother came forward, touched her forehead, and asked with concern.
