Chapter 2853: I’ll Be Traveling for a Few Days

Li Mingxi kicked him again.

Xiao Lang initially wanted to say he was going to H City, but when the words reached his lips, he changed them.

"I’m going to meet a few friends."

Wen Ning seemed a bit disappointed: "Oh... It’s okay, I can take a car to the restaurant by myself."

Next, Wen Ning stopped talking.

With Wen Ning silent, Xiao Lang and Li Mingxi had even less to say.

Wen Ning saw Xiao Lang eat a few bites of the dishes Li Mingxi had ordered, and quickly advised him, "Brother Xiao, you can’t handle spicy food, eat less. I ordered some old duck soup for you, it’s good."

Xiao Lang nodded, symbolically ate a bit, and then put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

"Brother Xiao, are you full?" Wen Ning asked with concern.

"I’m full; you two take your time eating."

Wen Ning couldn’t help but suggest, "Why don’t we go sing some songs later? It’s still early."

Li Mingxi quickly said, "I have plans tonight, so I won’t go."

Xiao Lang also said, "I have something to do as well."

"No problem, we’ll go next time." Wen Ning smiled, looking cheerful.

This meal was not enjoyable for Li Mingxi; she ate little before stopping.

Wen Ning also stopped eating, then they took a car back together.

In the elevator, Wen Ning proactively spoke to Xiao Lang.

"Brother Xiao, I have some questions about the restaurant I’d like to ask you. Could I come by for some advice later?"

Li Mingxi lowered her eyes, thinking that young girls these days were quite skilled at pursuing men.

Li Mingxi had never chased a man in her life, except for Xiao Lang.

And she didn’t really pursue Xiao Lang; she merely shared her thoughts with him.

Whether Xiao Lang wanted to accept her was his choice.

She never understood how to create serendipitous meetings or opportunities for them to be together.

So today, witnessing Wen Ning’s skills, she was quite impressed.

Xiao Lang’s gaze swept across Li Mingxi; his face showed no expression.

"I’ll head to your place directly now," he said.

Wen Ning smiled: "That’s fine."

Then, the three of them entered Li Mingxi’s apartment.

Li Mingxi invited them to sit down, poured them water, and then went to her room to change clothes.

Wen Ning took out some materials and humbly sought Xiao Lang’s guidance.

Her questions were answered by Xiao Lang simply, with almost no extra words.

Li Mingxi never came out, staying in her room, packing her luggage.

Half an hour later, Xiao Lang stood up and said, "Let’s stop here for today. I have something to handle, so I’ll be heading back."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao."

Wen Ning escorted him to the door; she closed the door after watching him enter his room.

As the door closed, her smile faded.

Actually, she didn’t want to intrude like this, but she really liked Xiao Lang.

If she didn’t try, she’d regret it for the rest of her life.

Besides, Li Mingxi already had Li Qian; maybe if she tried harder, she could have Xiao Lang.

"Knock knock knock—" Wen Ning came to Li Mingxi’s door, gently knocking.

"Come in," Li Mingxi’s voice came from inside.

Wen Ning pushed the door open and asked curiously, "Sister Mingxi, what are you doing?"

Li Mingxi put the suitcase down: "Packing my things, tomorrow I’m going on a business trip for a few days. I’ll find a housekeeper auntie to stay with you and take care of things."

Wen Ning was surprised: "You’re going on a business trip?"

She was quite incredulous; she had moved here, openly competing with her for Xiao Lang.
