Chapter 2746: It Has to Work This Time

"But I don’t need it!"Xiao Lang pursed his lips: "...This is my only request."

His tone was so humble and cautious.

Li Mingxi clenched her fist secretly and said heartlessly, "Don’t beg me. Miss Wen is really nice; if you choose her, you’ll have everything. Why waste time on me..."

Xiao Lang said nothing, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Then he started the car immediately and drove her back.

On the way, both of them remained silent.

Li Mingxi felt uncomfortable in her heart after saying those words.

In fact, she really thought about being with him regardless of everything, but she couldn’t be that selfish.

She was a person without a future.

The seeds she had sown would sooner or later bear such fruit.

She couldn’t seek temporary happiness at the cost of destroying Xiao Lang’s life.

In the past, she was unconcerned, but the more she loved, the more afraid she became.

So, even if she hurt him deeply now, she couldn’t ruin his life.

Li Mingxi looked at the neon lights outside the window and suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Lang, you’re not young anymore, give up on me... Miss Wen is really a good choice..."

"..."

"I’m serious. If you keep wasting time on me, you’ll regret it one day."

"Shut up!" Xiao Lang angrily interrupted her, "Whether you accept me or not is your business, but my choices are none of your concern."

Li Mingxi closed her mouth, really saying no more.

...

The car quickly arrived at the Li Family’s home.

Li Mingxi unbuckled her seatbelt, thanked him, and then opened the door to get out.

Xiao Lang watched her walk into the house without looking back, and only when the door closed and she vanished did he collapse over the steering wheel in despair.

Li Mingxi walked into the living room and found her grandmother hadn’t gone to bed yet.

"You’re back?" Grandma Li asked with a pleasant smile.

"Grandma, you haven’t slept yet?"

"Waiting for you."

Li Mingxi sat down beside her: "Waiting for what?"

Grandma Li scrutinized her with anticipation and asked, "How was the banquet? Why did you come back so early?"

"It was okay, Miss Wen fell into the sea, so the banquet had to end early."

"Is she okay?"

"She’s fine, just a bit frightened."

Grandma Li nodded, then asked her, "Did you meet anyone at the banquet?"

Here it came again. Every day, no matter where she went, her family would ask if she met anyone.

They just wanted to know if she had taken a liking to anyone.

"I chatted with a few ladies but didn’t really meet anyone."

Grandma Li showed a look of disbelief: "Really met no one? I heard some rumors."

Li Mingxi maintained a composed demeanor: "What rumors did you hear?"

"I heard that Mrs. Li introduced her son to you. Is it true?"

"...Your intelligence network is impressive."

"I also heard you agreed to a blind date with Mrs. Li’s son?"

Li Mingxi felt a headache coming on: "Sort of..."

In fact, she didn’t want to agree to Mrs. Li at all, but if she didn’t agree, her family would scold her to death.

So whoever was introduced to her, she would take a look anyway, just a look...

"This time it has to work. I’ll check out that young man first, and if I’m satisfied, let’s get the wedding done by the end of the year," Grandma Li suddenly said decisively.

Li Mingxi widened her eyes in shock.

"Grandma, what are you saying?"
