Chapter 2713: Mr. Xiao’s Wedding Banquet

Then Li Mingxi started introducing her classmates. Xiao Lang listened with a serious smile, being very polite to everyone.

"Mr. Xiao is really quite the catch. I wonder if Mr. Xiao is married?"

Most of Li Mingxi’s female friends, like her, were pretty bold.

If it were some more reserved woman, she definitely wouldn’t ask something like that the moment they met.

Xiao Lang, probably because of his fondness for Mingxi, didn’t mind the question at all.

"Not yet."

"Does Mr. Xiao have a girlfriend then?"

"No either." As he said this, Xiao Lang glanced at Li Mingxi.

Li Mingxi tightened her grip on her water glass, itching to stomp on his foot.

Just answer the question—what are you looking at me for!

Everyone at the table had a teasing, ambiguous smile on their faces.

"I feel like we really hit it off with Mr. Xiao. If you ever need me to introduce some female friends, or help in any way, please don’t be polite with me."

The others all chimed in, saying they were willing to do their part to help him find a girlfriend.

Li Mingxi was speechless.

You’ve only known him for how long and you’re already familiar enough to play matchmaker for him!

Xiao Lang gave an elegant, charming smile. "Then thank you all in advance."

The female classmate next to Li Mingxi leaned over to her ear.

"Come on, this guy is really good. Letting him go would be a sin against heaven."

The way you guys are so eager to set him up, you’re the ones sinning against heaven, alright...

No matter how everyone teased and made ambiguous jokes, Li Mingxi kept a calm, flirtatious smile from beginning to end.

When it came to thick skin, no one could beat her.

"Mr. Xiao, so you were here." Wen Ning walked toward him in white high heels, every step elegant.

Wen Ning first greeted everyone at the table politely, then turned to Xiao Lang with a touch of gentleness in her eyes.

"Mr. Xiao, my father said he’d like to meet you. Would it be convenient for you?"

Xiao Lang stood up, apologized to everyone for leaving, and then walked off with Wen Ning.

As soon as the two of them left, the others immediately started gossiping.

"Mingxi, you’d better step it up, don’t let the meat that’s already at your mouth fly away."

"I think Miss Wen is determined to get Mr. Xiao."

"But the one Mr. Xiao has his eye on is our Miss Li..."

"Li Mingxi, be honest, what exactly is going on between you two?"

Li Mingxi held her champagne, giving it an elegant swirl before taking a small sip.

"Didn’t I already say? We’re friends."

Everyone gave her a look that said, Yeah, right.

But since Li Mingxi didn’t want to say more, they couldn’t keep pushing.

Still, someone refused to give up. "Mingxi, will we get to drink your wedding wine at the end of the year?"

"Maybe we’ll be drinking Mr. Xiao’s wedding wine by then."

"Perhaps it’ll be Mr. Xiao and Miss Wen’s."

Li Mingxi tightened her grip on the glass. You guys are ruthless!

That last sentence really did stab her right in the heart.

But sooner or later, he would get married and have kids. Even if his wife wasn’t Miss Wen, she’d be some other Miss.

In any case, she wouldn’t be Miss Li...

Xiao Lang hadn’t been gone long before he came back.

Li Mingxi didn’t ask what he’d gone to do, and Xiao Lang didn’t say.

Before long, it was time for the banquet to start.

After that, everyone actually behaved themselves: drinking, eating, chatting.

No one teased the two of them anymore.

...

When the party broke up, Xiao Lang and Li Mingxi walked out of the hotel together.

"I’ll see you home," Xiao Lang said to her.

Li Mingxi pointed at the red sedan not far away. "I drove here."

Xiao Lang lowered his head and glanced at her shoes. "Don’t drive in heels that high next time."

Li Mingxi laughed. "My driving skills are great."
