Chapter 2718: A Versatile Man

Listening to Xiao Lang’s gentle voice. Li Mingxi’s eyes suddenly became moist.

A man who goes into the supermarket, buys all her favorite foods, and doesn’t forget to use spare change to get her a piece of chocolate, how could she resist, how could she refuse him.

Yet she couldn’t do anything...

Li Mingxi suppressed the bitterness in her heart, withdrew her hand, and said, "It’s a shame to throw it away."

She continued walking forward, not daring to look at him, not knowing how to face him.

Xiao Lang silently followed behind her all the way, until they went upstairs and entered the apartment.

"I’ll cook, you can rest a bit, though I don’t mind if you help me with some tasks." Xiao Lang smiled, carrying the groceries to the kitchen.

Li Mingxi turned on the TV to make the place a little livelier.

Then she poured a glass of water, drank it, and poured another glass to take to the kitchen.

"Have some water first." She handed the cup to Xiao Lang.

Xiao Lang took it and drank it in one gulp: "I want more."

Li Mingxi had no choice but to pour him more water.

After drinking the water, seeing her standing in the kitchen, Xiao Lang asked with a smile, "You want to help?"

Li Mingxi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Aren’t you cooking for me? I don’t need to help, right?"

"You can actually help a bit." Xiao Lang handed her the scallions, "Help me wash these, no problem, right?"

Li Mingxi helplessly took them and went to wash them.

After washing the scallions, Xiao Lang handed her a few tomatoes to wash, then some greens, or other vegetables...

Li Mingxi washed the vegetables while Xiao Lang chopped them. Unknowingly, the two of them worked together in harmony for quite a while.

Xiao Lang rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his bronzed arms.

He chopped vegetables quickly, his knife skills first-rate.

This was the first time Li Mingxi had seen him cook, yet she didn’t expect him to be so skilled.

"Have you worked as a chef?" she asked him.

Xiao Lang placed the sliced meat into a plate, "Forgot what I do?"

"You do so many things, how would I know what you do?"

"I own a restaurant."

"Owning a restaurant means you have to know how to cook?"

"If I didn’t have an interest in it, there’d be no need for me to open a restaurant." Xiao Lang said with a smile.

Li Mingxi thought that made sense.

Xiao Lang’s investments are quite diverse, and although his Wanderer’s Restaurant does good business, the profit isn’t very high.

If he wasn’t really interested, there was no need to keep that restaurant.

Li Mingxi crossed her arms and laughed, "Didn’t expect you to enjoy being in the kitchen."

Xiao Lang turned on the stove, pouring oil into the pan while speaking.

"Yeah, men like me, who are all-rounders, are rare. Good temper, earn money, family-oriented, enjoy cooking, and not bad-looking, wouldn’t you say so?"

He flashed eight pearly white teeth at her.

Was he just selling himself?

Li Mingxi said blandly, "I can’t really help with anything else, you cook, I’ll go watch TV."

Watching her leaving from behind, Xiao Lang gave a bitter smile.

How could such a good man as him not be wanted by her?

Does making one mistake mean he’s sentenced to life?

...

Li Mingxi sat in the living room. Though her eyes were on the TV, her gaze was empty, unfocused.

The sound of cooking came from the kitchen, and the aroma wafted out.

She looked toward the kitchen, thinking how nice it would be if today never ended...

In fact, she despised herself.

Having clearly decided to stay away from him, yet today, she couldn’t help but get closer.

Was it because of being provoked by Wen Ning?

But being sentimental about it is meaningless, yet she really couldn’t resist him...
