Chapter 2715: I Never Planned to Leave

Xiao Lang quickly glanced her over: "Were you sleeping?""Just woke up."

Xiao Lang smiled faintly: "My car broke down nearby. It’s too hot outside, so I thought I’d come up and sit for a while. Is that okay?"

This excuse was pretty lame.

If the car broke down, he could call the insurance company, he could take a cab back.

Besides, his house seems to be in a different direction, right?

Li Mingxi didn’t say much more and stepped aside, inviting him in.

Xiao Lang followed her into the living room, and Li Mingxi asked what he’d like to drink.

"Juice."

Because he smelled the scent of juice in the air.

Li Mingxi poured him a glass of chilled juice.

Xiao Lang took a sip and felt much better: "Do you have chess? Let’s have a game."

Li Mingxi was a bit surprised by his request.

Xiao Lang smiled naturally: "Anyway, there’s nothing to do. We don’t have to play chess; let’s watch a movie instead."

The way he’s approaching her now is much more skillful.

Li Mingxi felt a bittersweet happiness in her heart.

"I don’t have chess, but I have checkers."

Xiao Lang chuckled: "Checkers is fine."

So Li Mingxi took out the checkers and sat face to face with him.

"You go first," Xiao Lang gave her the first move.

Li Mingxi made the first move, and Xiao Lang followed with his move.

For the first few moves, their approach was the same, but quickly it became different.

Aside from medical skills, Li Mingxi had no other talents.

Obviously, she was no match for Xiao Lang in simple checkers.

After losing a round, Li Mingxi’s interest was piqued.

"Let’s go again."

"You’ll lose again."

"Not necessarily!" Li Mingxi was indignant, naturally even more interested.

Again she went first, and Xiao Lang beat her, winning by two moves.

Li Mingxi thought, if I change my strategy next time, I might win.

"Again!"

"You’ll lose again."

"Not necessarily!"

Xiao Lang slowly placed a marble on the board, "Playing like this is boring; let’s make a bet."

"What bet?" Li Mingxi asked, eyeing him warily.

Xiao Lang laughed: "Obviously to lose money."

Li Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief: "How much?"

"Fifty bucks a game."

"Deal!"

She wasn’t afraid of losing money; she was just afraid of losing face.

Then Li Mingxi lost ten games, totaling five hundred bucks...

"Again!" With eyes red from defeat, she refused to give in.

She simply couldn’t understand why Xiao Lang could only win by one or two moves every time, yet she was always unable to catch up.

Xiao Lang looked at the time, "No more, it’s time to eat."

Li Mingxi glared at him, "Win the money and plan to leave?!"

Xiao Lang stared deeply at her, his thin lips curved in a teasing smile.

"I don’t plan on leaving; if you don’t chase me away, I won’t go."

Li Mingxi’s face slightly reddened as she lowered her head to clean up the marbles.

"Alright, you go eat then."

Xiao Lang counted the money he won: "How about I treat you?"

Having played checkers with him for half a day, does she mind sharing a meal?

Moreover, that money was originally hers; it would be a waste not to eat!

"Sure." Li Mingxi agreed with a smile.

She went to change clothes and walked to the door intending to swap shoes.

Just as she took down her high heels, Xiao Lang held her hand.

He took the shoes, put them back, grabbed a pair of flat gold shoes, and bent down to place them at her feet.

"Wear these."

Li Mingxi glared: "These are the shoes I wear for surgery!"

Surgery usually requires standing for several hours.

But Li Mingxi loved fashion.
