Chapter 2906: A Cat That Stole the Cream

The director felt very sorry: "I didn’t know Xinxin would make such a request, putting you both in a difficult position."

Xinxin, the little girl who made the request, was only five years old.

Xiao Lang laughed and said: "It’s okay. I was the one who agreed first, it’s not their fault. Besides, this request isn’t that hard, right?"

The last two words, he directed at Li Mingxi.

Li Mingxi could only nod: "Yes, it is."

Xiao Lang’s smile deepened: "Then we’ll come to pick up Xinxin tomorrow, are you free?"

"Sure." Li Mingxi nodded with a forced smile.

She wasn’t afraid to be Xinxin’s ’mom’ for a day, but she did mind that Xinxin’s ’dad’ was Xiao Lang.

However, there was nothing she could do since the child had chosen them.

...

Walking out of the orphanage, Xiao Lang said: "Let me give you a lift."

The hospital car had already gone, and Li Mingxi didn’t drive.

"No need, I’ll take a cab."

"We could discuss what to do tomorrow."

Li Mingxi had no choice but to get into his car.

Xiao Lang started the car, smiling: "How about we take the kid to the amusement park tomorrow?"

Li Mingxi instinctively retorted: "That’s so cliché!"

"Then what should we take her to do?"

Yes, kids just like to play; what else could they do?

"The amusement park it is then."

Xiao Lang added: "We go to the amusement park in the morning, and in the evening, we go to a farm restaurant to fish, how does that sound?"

"Wouldn’t that be too tiring?" Li Mingxi was reluctant to agree.

She didn’t want to spend so much time with Xiao Lang.

"It’s okay to be a bit tired, got to give the child good memories somehow."

"...You’re right." Li Mingxi reluctantly conceded.

Xiao Lang’s lips curved into a smile, like a cat that got into the cream.

After dropping Li Mingxi off at the hospital, Xiao Lang drove away.

Returning to the office, Xiaohan happened to bring in a stack of documents for Li Mingxi.

"Director, did Mr. Xiao give you a ride back?" Xiaohan asked tentatively.

Li Mingxi glanced at her: "Are you not busy? Finished your work?"

Xiaohan laughed: "I’ll get to it right away."

At the door, Xiaohan couldn’t help but say: "Mr. Xiao seems like a nice guy, at least he’s very compassionate."

With a glare from Li Mingxi, Xiaohan quickly slipped out.

Sitting at her desk, thinking about the plans for tomorrow, Li Mingxi felt a headache coming on.

...

The day quickly passed.

Early the next morning, Li Mingxi got up at 6:30. She didn’t wear a dress but opted for a short-sleeved shirt, denim shorts, sneakers, then tied her hair up and applied light makeup.

Carrying a bag of things, just as Li Mingxi was about to leave, Xiao Lang called.

"I’m outside your house, when are you coming out?"

"Right away."

Li Mingxi rushed downstairs with her things.

Xiao Lang’s car was parked at the gate, Li Mingxi opened the car door and got inside, urging him to drive.

"Let’s go!"

She didn’t dare let Xiao Lang linger for long, afraid her family would see him.

Xiao Lang was dressed casually today, "We need to pick up Xinxin from the orphanage first, then go for breakfast."

"Whatever." Li Mingxi put on her sunglasses and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.

Xiao Lang knew she didn’t want to talk, so he didn’t say anything else along the way.

...

Xinxin was a very skinny girl, among her peers, she was considered short, looking like a four-year-old.
