Chapter 2714: The Vampire’s Castle

"Better to be safe.""Thanks. I’ll head off now, goodbye."

Li Mingxi smiled and walked towards the car.

As she started the car and left, she happened to see Wen Ning standing next to Xiao Lang, smiling and talking to him.

Wen Ning is the youngest daughter of the Wen Family, young and beautiful, and importantly, talented and knowledgeable.

Xiao Lang being with her isn’t a loss...

When Xiao Lang’s gaze shifted, Li Mingxi looked away and quickly drove off.

Xiao Lang lowered his eyes slightly, a hint of gloom flickered in his eyes.

...

Li Mingxi didn’t go to the hospital, she went home, took a shower, and went to sleep.

She felt her life had been really dull lately.

Nothing interested her, as if she were about to die.

She wasn’t supposed to be the kind of person tangled in emotions.

She loved her career, loved life.

Even when feeling sad inside, she would face each day with positivity.

But recently, for some reason, her world was becoming dimmer and dimmer...

Li Mingxi raised her hand to press against her chest, suppressing that faint unease.

...

Unknowingly, Li Mingxi fell asleep.

And then, she had a dream.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, on the fine golden sand beach, she walked slowly barefoot.

"Mingxi..."

Someone called her from behind.

She turned around and saw a blurred face.

But she knew who he was...

"What’s the matter?" she asked indifferently.

"There’s a party tonight, and I’d like to invite you to be my dance partner."

"I have something to do tonight."

"The party won’t last long, and I just want to invite you to be my dance partner, is that okay?"

"Don’t you understand? I have something to do tonight."

The man gave a doting smile: "Alright then, I hope I have the chance to invite you next time."

Li Mingxi turned around and continued walking forward.

However, she vaguely felt a pair of intense, unsettling eyes.

Li Mingxi slowly turned around, and the scene changed to a vast field of enchanting fiery red roses...

The night was thick, and the roses were red as if bleeding.

A chilly old castle stood in the sea of flowers, like a vampire’s castle...

Li Mingxi’s eyes widened and she couldn’t suppress the scream any longer!

Then, she woke up—

Li Mingxi looked at the ceiling, her heart pounding fiercely.

It was just a dream, just a dream.

She kept convincing herself, but still, deep down, she was filled with panic.

The air conditioning was on in the room.

Li Mingxi wiped her forehead; she was sweating coldly.

Sitting up, she got out of bed and went to the kitchen, poured herself a glass of ice-cold juice, and drank it, feeling much more at ease.

Li Mingxi didn’t dare go back to sleep. She turned on the TV and curled up on the sofa, aimlessly switching channels.

"Ding dong—ding dong—"

Suddenly, someone rang the doorbell.

As mentioned before, those who could come to see Li Mingxi were either her family or Xiao Lang.

Anyone else visiting her would have to call first through the security.

Anyone coming unannounced could only be them.

Suspecting Xiao Lang had come, Li Mingxi walked to the door, turned on the surveillance camera, and indeed it was Xiao Lang standing outside.

Li Mingxi was unsure whether to open the door.

Xiao Lang continued ringing the doorbell, appearing very patient.

Li Mingxi stared at his face for a while before opening the door.
