Chapter 2854: Gently Knocked

She actually went on a business trip at this critical moment.

Is she really so assured about them?

Although Li Mingxi isn’t too calculating, Keren is very smart.

She worried that Wen Ning would see through their intention, so she laughed and said, "Yeah, it was planned a long time ago. I was originally going to tell you the truth that I have a business trip, but then I thought, when I’m gone, you can stay here, so I decided not to say anything."

Wen Ning felt a bit guilty, "I’m sorry, Sister Mingxi, I disturbed you..."

"It’s fine. I’m leaving tomorrow; my housekeeper will come to clean, and I’ll have her stay for a few days to keep you company."

"Thank you, Sister Mingxi."

"No need to thank me. You go rest now, let me know if you need anything."

"Alright, you should rest early too, goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Wen Ning left, and Li Mingxi closed the door and returned to packing.

Actually, she’s not on a business trip; she’s going on a vacation, so everything she’s packing is for travel.

Li Mingxi packed up a small backpack and planned to rest.

She went to the bathroom to wash up, did a face mask, and then went to bed.

But for some reason, she couldn’t sleep.

Having slept at Xiao Lang’s place for about ten days, she seemed to have gotten used to sleeping in his arms.

Habit really is a frightening thing.

Especially in just ten days, she developed such a scary habit.

If she doesn’t have Xiao Lang in the future, how will she fall asleep?

As Li Mingxi tossed and turned, she suddenly heard a light tapping sound.

The glass door connected to the balcony was gently tapped.

Li Mingxi was startled—

"Mingxi, are you asleep?" came Xiao Lang’s soft voice from outside.

Li Mingxi quickly got up and turned on the bedside lamp.

She went to draw the curtains, seeing Xiao Lang standing outside.

He braced his hands against the glass door, showing her a charming smile.

Li Mingxi opened the door, "How did you get here?!"

Xiao Lang hugged her tightly, "Great, we can sleep together again tonight."

Li Mingxi pushed him away, nervously asking, "How exactly did you get here?"

"I think you wouldn’t want to know."

Li Mingxi ignored him and went straight to the balcony to look.

Her bedroom balcony faced Xiao Lang’s living room balcony.

Between the two balconies, there was just an air conditioner unit.

Clearly, Xiao Lang stepped on the air conditioner unit to climb over.

And they lived on the highest floor, plus the pathway of the first floor, they essentially lived on the ninth floor.

Though the floor isn’t tall, the issue is that the actual height of each floor is higher than ordinary houses, so the ninth floor is quite high.

Sometimes standing on the balcony, looking down makes Li Mingxi’s legs go weak.

Yet Xiao Lang actually stepped on the air conditioner to come over.

What if something went wrong?

Li Mingxi turned angrily and punched Xiao Lang’s body, "Are you crazy?! What if you fall?!"

Xiao Lang grabbed her hand, happily placed it against his lips, and kissed it.

"Are you worried about me?"

Li Mingxi pushed him away, her face cold, "You’re so full of yourself!"

"I know you’re concerned about me."

Li Mingxi scoffed coldly, "I’m just afraid you’ll die and drag me down too!"

Angrily, she walked back into the room, Xiao Lang hurried to follow, not forgetting to close the glass door.

Hugging her from behind, he grinned appeasingly, "Don’t be mad, really, it’s not dangerous for me. I wasn’t putting my life at risk."
