Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Li Mingxi suddenly voiced her thoughts.

On the other end, Li Qian was startled: "What’s wrong with you?"

Li Mingxi couldn’t help but laugh: "I’m just joking with you."

"Where are you?" Li Qian was still worried about her, "How about I ask Xiao Lang to find you?"

"No!" Li Mingxi hurriedly refused, "Don’t let him come, I’m fine on my own..."

"I want to drink too, where are you, I’ll join you for a drink."

"You want to drink too?"

"Yeah, I wonder if you mind me joining you for a couple of drinks."

Li Mingxi nodded: "Okay, come on over..."

...

When Li Qian arrived, he only saw Li Mingxi’s car, but not her.

He quickly got out of the car and hurried toward the beach.

There were many scattered beer cans on the beach, but no sign of Li Mingxi.

Li Qian was really worried that something might have happened to her.

"Li Mingxi, where are you?! Li Mingxi—"

Li Qian searched everywhere, finally finding her behind a reef.

Li Mingxi was leaning against the reef, with waves crashing over her legs again and again, as if trying to wash her away.

Seeing him, Li Qian let out a sigh of relief.

"I thought something had happened to you."

Li Mingxi didn’t look at him, she stared into the distance, tears in her eyes.

"Li Qian, did you know? Today Xiao Lang wants to propose to me..."

Li Qian was slightly stunned, but he said nothing, quietly listening to her.

Li Mingxi’s voice was a bit choked: "He said, if I went, he would propose. If I didn’t go, he would give up on me and never bother me again..."

Li Qian tentatively asked, "So, are you going or not?"

Li Mingxi turned her head to look at him. She raised her hand and pointed to her heart: "My heart has already gone."

"You don’t want to go?"

"I can’t go... I’m not worthy of him..."

Li Qian couldn’t help but laugh: "In this world, is there anyone you’re not worthy of?"

Li Mingxi nodded: "Yes, I’m not worthy of him."

Li Qian had always been curious why Li Mingxi wouldn’t accept Xiao Lang.

It seemed there was indeed a significant reason.

"Why aren’t you worthy of him?" Li Qian asked.

Li Mingxi shook her head in sorrow: "I can’t say... can’t say..."

"If you don’t say it, how can the problem be solved? Do you want to miss out on Xiao Lang for a lifetime?"

"I don’t want to..."

"If you don’t want to, you should tell him the reason you won’t accept him. I think he’ll certainly help you overcome the difficulties."

Li Mingxi still shook her head: "I can’t say, don’t tell him..."

"You’d rather miss him than say it?" Li Qian asked.

Li Mingxi raised her hand, wiping away her tears.

She nodded: "Yes... I’d rather miss him than say it..."

Li Qian stopped pressing her, extending his hand toward her: "Come on, let’s leave here, it’s too dangerous."

Li Mingxi didn’t move, her eyes emptily gazing into the distance.

"Li Qian, I really want to jump into the sea... Many times, I’ve thought if I died, it would all be over, but I can’t bear to die..."

Li Qian grabbed her arm, pulling her away.

"If you can’t bear it, then don’t die. Living is hard, but if you die, it’ll be even harder to come back to life."

Li Mingxi let him lead her, and they returned to the beach. Li Qian sat her down, opened a beer, and handed it to her.

"If you’re feeling bad, just drink. I’m here, you can drink without worry. I’ll make sure you get back safely."

"Thank you." Li Mingxi took the can and indeed started drinking heavily.
