Fated to My Billionaire Husband

"Then tell me, what on earth happened between you and Xiao Lang? If you don’t tell me, I’ll go ask him!"

"Mom—" Li Mingxi looked up, a little agitated. "Don’t go to him. I don’t love him. Let’s stop hurting him, okay? Let him forget me sooner and start his new life, all right?"

"You don’t love him?"

Li Mingxi nodded, speaking with absolute finality: "Right, I don’t love him!"

"Mingxi..."

"Mom, I have such a bad headache. Just let me be quiet for a couple of days, I’m begging you." Li Mingxi was almost about to burst into tears.

Right now, she really was utterly exhausted in both body and mind.

If her mother kept pressing her, she would definitely break down.

Seeing her like this, Li Mother couldn’t bear it. "Fine, you get some good rest. I won’t tell anyone else about this for now. Once you’ve rested, we’ll slowly figure it out."

"Thank you, Mom."

Li Mother sighed and left the room, closing the door for her.

Li Mother went downstairs, feeling very low.

Li Grandma asked her suspiciously, "What’s wrong with you?"

"Mom, I’m fine, probably just not feeling well."

"Where are you feeling unwell? Do you want to see a doctor?"

"It’s nothing serious. I’ll go out for a walk. Maybe getting some air will help."

Li Grandma nodded. "All right, go then."

...

Li Mother changed her clothes and went out.

She had the driver take her to the Li Family’s company.

Li Mother rarely came to the company, but the receptionist knew her.

Li Mother went straight up in the elevator to the floor of the general manager.

"Madam, what brings you here?!" The secretary outside the general manager’s office was very surprised to see her.

Li Mother said calmly, "I’m here to see your general manager."

The secretary, guilty and flustered, said, "Let me announce you first."

"No need." Li Mother pushed open the office door and saw a pretty woman sitting on Li Mingchen’s lap; the two of them were flirting.

Feeling someone come in, Li Mingchen looked over and jumped in fright.

"Mom—"

He hurriedly stood up and pushed the beauty off his lap.

"Mom, what brings you here?" Li Mingchen asked with a big grin.

Li Mother looked at them lightly. "I have something to talk to you about."

Li Mingchen quickly shooed the beauty out, then told the secretary to bring in the best tea.

Li Mother walked over to the sofa and sat down, unable to stop herself from sighing.

She had two children, one was Li Mingxi, the other was Li Mingchen.

Since she was little, Li Mingxi had never dated, never even interacted with boys, and her standards were ridiculously high.

Li Mingchen, on the other hand, had been chatting up girls since he was a kid, and to this day his playboy image had never changed.

How could these two kids be so far apart?

If only they could average out somehow, that’d be great...

Thinking his mother was upset, Li Mingchen sat beside her, put his arm around her shoulders, and smiled ingratiatingly.

"Mom, I was just playing along with her, putting on a show, just having some fun. Don’t take it seriously."

"Enough, I can’t be bothered to care about your nonsense!" Li Mother picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Li Mingchen let out a sigh of relief. "Mom, you came to see me because something’s up?"

"Mm, there’s something I want to ask you..."

Li Mingchen picked up his teacup. "Whatever it is, just ask."

Li Mother found it really hard to say, but she couldn’t not ask.

"Mom, what is it exactly?"

Li Mother hesitated and finally spoke. "Is your sister... does she maybe not like men, but like women?"

"Pfft—" The sip of tea Li Mingchen had just taken suddenly sprayed out.
