Chapter 2904: Little Wishes

Xiao Lang stared at Li Mingxi for a long time, and Li Mingxi asked puzzledly, "What are you looking at?"

"You still look so pale." Xiao Lang said in a deep voice.

Li Mingxi thought, I put on foundation, and you still see my poor complexion, your eyesight is exceptionally good.

Little did she know, Xiao Lang was looking at her eyes.

A person’s eyes can reveal their condition.

"Did you eat the food I had sent to you?" Xiao Lang asked deeply.

Li Mingxi nodded, "I did."

"If you ate, why do you still look so pale?"

"I’ve told you, my condition isn’t related to food, I eat on time every day..." Li Mingxi tried to fool him again, but upon seeing Xiao Lang’s dark gaze, she couldn’t continue.

Li Mingxi sighed, "I truly ate, I swear, I tried hard to eat."

"Is the food not to your taste?"

He knew Li Mingxi liked spicy food, while he mostly prepared mild dishes.

But he did try hard to make them tasty, so no matter what one’s taste is, they’d love it.

Li Mingxi shook her head, "The food is delicious!"

At this point, Li Mingxi felt like teasing him.

"I wonder which famous chef made it, the taste is excellent, better than any food I’ve had. Could you introduce this chef to me? I can help promote his dishes and boost his reputation."

Xiao Lang’s gaze flickered awkwardly, "Several chefs made it, it wasn’t just one person."

"But the taste is quite similar."

"Yes, it’s quite similar."

"Are they all chefs from Langming’s restaurant?"

"No..."

"Did you open a new restaurant?"

Xiao Lang shook his head, finding Li Mingxi’s obsession with a single chef quite odd.

He didn’t dare tell her the truth, afraid she might stop eating if she knew it was him who cooked.

"It’s a friend’s house chef who made the food, I just borrow one every day."

Li Mingxi stifled her laughter, wondering how long he could keep fabricating the truth.

"Isn’t that too much trouble for them? I think you shouldn’t deliver food to me anymore."

"It’s not a bother!" Xiao Lang quickly explained, "I have a collaboration with that friend, and he promised me his home chef would cook for me every day."

Seeing his story getting more and more bizarre, Li Mingxi stopped teasing him.

"I see." She nodded, refraining from further questioning, and Xiao Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

"How much food can you eat in a meal now?" Xiao Lang persistently asked.

Li Mingxi pretended not to hear, changing the topic, "You just promised these children to fulfill their wishes, what if you cannot satisfy them?"

"I said, it’s small wishes."

"But they don’t know whether their wishes are small or big. They’re kids; no matter how outrageous their wish is, in their own eyes, it’s still a small wish."

Xiao Lang suddenly realized and found it somewhat amusing and frustrating: "What if they wish for stars from the sky, what should I do then?"

"That’s still fine."

Xiao Lang raised his eyebrows, "I’m not that magical; I can’t get stars."

Li Mingxi laughed, "Just give them a light-up star."

"You’re right."

Xiao Lang saw her smiling beautifully and decided to talk to her more.

His tone was very natural, gentle, making it impossible for people to resist or be on guard.

"If they want parents, how can I fulfill that?" he asked again.
