Chapter 2732: Exquisite Gift Box

Li Mingxi paused for a moment. Wen Ning’s birthday party, Xiao Lang will certainly go, right?

"Mrs. Wen, I think I might have something going on that day, but rest assured, if I can’t make it, my gift will."

"You silly child, I’m inviting you to attend, not asking for your gift. Many young people will be coming that day too, you must come, I’ll introduce you to a few of them. It’s settled."

So she plans to introduce her to someone.

Is the whole world worried she won’t get married?

"Sister Mingxi, you really have to come that day. My brother will also be there. If you come, we’ll definitely welcome you warmly," said Wen Ning sincerely.

Such a heartfelt invitation, if she doesn’t go, she would seem ungrateful.

Li Mingxi readily agreed, "Sure, I’ll go."

After sending off Mrs. Wen and Wen Ning, Li Mingxi continued with her work.

But the more she thought about it, the more she regretted agreeing to go.

When Xiao Lang also attends, she’ll purely be looking for trouble.

At Wen Ning’s birthday party, her first dance would surely be with Xiao Lang.

If she doesn’t go, that’s fine, but if she goes and sees them, she’ll definitely feel uncomfortable inside.

Li Mingxi felt she hasn’t reached a state of calm yet; she must feel like a serene lake.

...

In the afternoon after work.

Li Mingxi was driving on the road, and just as she was reaching the apartment, she happened to run into Xiao Lang’s car.

They both saw each other, two cars entering the neighborhood one after the other.

Once the cars were parked, they walked toward the elevator together.

"What a coincidence." Xiao Lang smiled at her.

Li Mingxi gave a forced smile, while the smile at Xiao Lang’s lips deepened.

As the elevator doors opened, they walked in, and Xiao Lang took out an exquisite invitation from his suit.

"This is for you."

"What?" Li Mingxi took it; surprisingly, it was Wen Ning’s birthday party invitation.

"How is mine with you?"

Xiao Lang explained, "Miss Wen came to see me this afternoon to give me an invitation, then she said she invited you too. I told her we’re neighbors, so she gave it to me along with mine."

Li Mingxi thought he was an idiot; saying that surely made Wen Ning sad.

"Thanks."

Xiao Lang smiled, "You’re welcome. Let’s go together that day."

"No need, I have plans with others."

"Alright then."

Then they stopped talking until the elevator opened.

Li Mingxi was the first to exit, quickly reaching her door and entering the room.

Xiao Lang stared at her door for a moment before entering his own room.

Even though he moved next door to her, it seems the distance between them hasn’t closed.

She’s still so distant toward him, as if there’s a door separating them, and he can’t seem to touch her.

...

The first thing Li Mingxi did upon returning home was to take a shower.

After showering, she planned to make something to eat in her bathrobe, when suddenly her doorbell rang.

Li Mingxi sighed helplessly.

Xiao Lang wasn’t the type to be pestering like this before.

Why is he becoming more... thick-skinned...

"Who is it!" Li Mingxi asked irritably.

Without checking the surveillance camera, she opened the door directly.

She expected Xiao Lang to be standing at the door, but instead, there was no one, just a beautifully packaged gift box on the ground.

Li Mingxi picked up the box in confusion.

Who sent it?

Xiao Lang?

Xiao Lang’s door was tightly closed; Li Mingxi had no desire to find him, so she took the box inside directly.

She placed the box on the coffee table, muttering in puzzlement, "Could there be something scary inside?"
