Chapter 2735: Who Is Being Tormented?

"...What did you do to him?" Li Mingxi asked instinctively. Xiao Lang smiled faintly and said, "I didn’t do anything to him, don’t worry, he’s fine."

"Got it." Li Mingxi nodded, opened the door, and went inside.

Actually, Jiang Shiming’s situation had nothing to do with her.

She was just worried that Xiao Lang might get into trouble because of her.

However, getting rid of the Jiang Shiming problem did make Li Mingxi feel much more at ease.

She hummed a tune, turned on the TV, but then saw a news report.

The news was about a skeleton discovered abroad, and the police were currently investigating who the deceased was and the cause of death.

Li Mingxi’s face turned pale instantly, and she quickly turned off the TV!

*********

Xiao Lang was in the kitchen pouring himself a drink when he heard the doorbell ring.

Curious, he walked towards the door.

He opened the surveillance camera and unexpectedly saw that the person standing outside was Li Mingxi.

Xiao Lang opened the door, "What brings you here?"

Li Mingxi had a bottle of Lafite in her hand, "Care for a couple of drinks?"

"My pleasure." He stepped aside, and Li Mingxi walked in, glancing around his place.

His apartment was different from hers in layout and had a completely different decor style.

Very cozy...

Xiao Lang smiled and said, "I didn’t decorate this place."

Oh right, it was decorated by the previous owner of the apartment.

"Have a seat first, I’ll grab a couple of glasses."

Li Mingxi, still in her bathrobe, sat on his sofa.

Xiao Lang fetched two wine glasses from the bar.

He set down the glasses, took the bottle, opened it, and poured them each a glass of wine.

"What made you think of drinking with me?"

"Can’t I have a drink with you for no reason?"

"Of course, you can. Feel free to come to have a drink with me anytime, for any reason or none at all."

Li Mingxi picked up her glass, smiled, and clinked it with his.

Then, she quietly drank without speaking. Li Mingxi’s drinking was elegant, unhurried, but she quickly finished her glass.

She poured herself another glass, and Xiao Lang stared intently at her, "Something on your mind?"

"No."

She was unwilling to speak, and he didn’t press her.

But he truly wanted to help share her burdens.

Li Mingxi drank two glasses but wanted more, but Xiao Lang stopped her.

"No more drinking."

Li Mingxi looked up; her cheeks were suffused with a rosy hue from the alcohol.

Her lips curled into a smile, growing more charmingly seductive.

Actually, Li Mingxi never deliberately smiled in a seductive, enchanting way.

But every time she smiled, these qualities naturally emerged.

It’s because her eyes are long and large, with slightly upturned corners, making her gaze especially captivating when she smiles.

"I came to drink with you. If you won’t let me drink, what am I here for?" she asked with a teasing smile.

"How about some champagne?" Xiao Lang suggested.

Li Mingxi shook her head, "Not interested. I want to drink wine."

Xiao Lang reluctantly withdrew his hand, his voice warm and magnetic, "Go ahead, just don’t get carried away after drinking~."

"..."

Li Mingxi gave him a sidelong glance, poured herself a glass, and continued to drink.

"You drink too," she said, giving him a look.

Xiao Lang downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, then poured himself another.

With a few drinks down, Li Mingxi was a little tipsy.

She lounged lazily against the sofa, her legs propped on the armrest, swaying them slightly.

"Why did you move to my place? I won’t accept you, yet you insist on getting close to me. Who are you torturing?"

Xiao Lang met her slightly intoxicated gaze, "Who do you think is being tortured?"
