Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Li Mingxi wanted to wave at Xiao Lang, but the car drove off in an instant, so she just let it go.

Back at the Li Family home, Li Mingxi took out the gifts she’d bought for her family, then picked up her luggage and went upstairs.

She casually put the luggage in a corner of the bedroom, pulled out her phone, and dialed Li Qian’s number.

"Hello, Li Qian, I’m back. Are you free now? I’ll treat you to dinner."

Li Qian said he was free, then the two of them agreed on a place and hung up.

Li Mingxi grabbed her handbag and went downstairs.

Sitting in the living room, a few elders who were busy looking through the gifts for each other saw her about to head out again just after coming back and were very curious.

Grandma Li asked her in puzzlement, "Where are you going now?"

"Going out to meet a friend."

Without saying more, Li Mingxi hurried off.

She drove to the place she and Li Qian had agreed to meet.

Led by a waiter, Li Mingxi went into a private room; by then, Li Qian was already there.

The two greeted each other, ordered dishes, and only started properly chatting after all the food was served.

Li Qian asked with a smile, "You were away having fun for a few days, did you enjoy yourself?"

"It was okay."

Li Mingxi took a gift box out of her handbag. "This is a present I bought for Doudou. Help me give it to him, okay?"

Li Qian took the box. "Nothing for me?"

Li Mingxi laughed. "Giving something to Doudou is the same as giving it to you, isn’t it?"

"You’re really too stingy, huh? Still, if there’s nothing for me, I’m truly hurt." Li Qian deliberately put on a very disappointed expression.

Li Mingxi pointed at the table full of dishes with her chopsticks.

"I’m treating you to this meal—doesn’t that count as a gift for you?"

Only then did Li Qian smile happily. "Now that’s more like it."

"Let’s eat, we’ll talk while we eat." Li Mingxi urged him to start.

At first, they chatted about some random, light topics.

Then Li Mingxi put down her chopsticks and said to him seriously, "Li Qian, I told you I’d give you a proper answer today, and I’ve made up my mind."

Li Qian also set down his chopsticks.

He raised his hand, stopping what Li Mingxi was about to say.

"Don’t say it yet, let me guess first."

"..."

Li Qian’s lips curved as he smiled. "Did you decide not to marry me after all, and plan to choose Xiao Lang instead?"

Li Mingxi stared at him in surprise, eyes wide.

"How did you know I’ve decided not to marry you?"

He’d guessed that part right, though she hadn’t planned to marry Xiao Lang either.

"Because I’ve already seen it."

"Seen it?!" Li Mingxi didn’t understand.

Li Qian took out his phone, opened a piece of online news, and handed it to her.

Perplexed, Li Mingxi took the phone, looked closely, and was instantly stunned!

It was a news piece about the big star Miss Ma.

A reporter had taken photos at the airport of Miss Ma running into a friend.

The friend she’d run into was none other than her and Xiao Lang.

In the photo, Xiao Lang had his arm around her, smiling at Miss Ma; anyone who saw that photo would think she and Xiao Lang were a couple.

Even though she and Xiao Lang were both wearing sunglasses, their facial features were easy to recognize.

Anyone who knew them could tell at a glance it was them...

"How come this news hit the internet so fast?" Li Mingxi frowned, baffled.

They’d just run into Miss Ma at the airport, and now it was already online; that was really fast.

Li Qian said, "Information spreads this fast now—news breaks like this pop up by the minute."

Li Mingxi was still confused. "So how did you come across this piece of news?"

"Someone happened to see it, recognized you, and called to tell me."
