Chapter 2751: I Don’t Want to Get Married Either

Li Mingxi’s face turned pale, and she felt very uncomfortable."Okay, I’ll go." She forced a smile.

"Hurry up and eat." Grandma Li softened her expression and showed her a loving smile.

Li Mingxi stuffed the rice into her mouth, but it tasted like wax.

...

After changing clothes and putting on makeup, seeing that it was almost time, Li Mingxi finally left the house.

She and Li Qian had agreed to meet at 2:30 at a café.

When Li Mingxi arrived, Li Qian was already there.

Since they had exchanged photos beforehand, Li Mingxi recognized him as soon as she walked into the café.

Li Qian also saw her and stood up to walk over to her.

"Hello, Miss Li."

"Hello."

They shook hands and took their seats.

Li Qian was wearing a white shirt, stood at 1.8 meters tall, with a suitable build. Whether from his appearance or demeanor, it was clear he was a cultured and successful man.

If she really had to get married, at least someone like Li Qian was acceptable to Li Mingxi.

"Miss Li is even more beautiful than in the photos." Li Qian said with a sincere smile, without any deliberate flattery.

Li Mingxi smiled lightly, "Mr. Li is also more mature and handsome than in the photos."

Li Qian chuckled, "If Miss Li doesn’t mind, how about we call each other by our first names?"

"Sure, I don’t mind."

"Mingxi, I wonder how much you know about me."

Having gone on many blind dates, Li Mingxi could tell at a glance that Li Qian was looking for marriage.

Indeed, both of them weren’t young anymore, lacking the energy to date before marrying, so they were both in it for marriage.

Li Mingxi briefly shared what she knew about Li Qian, and Li Qian added some details, which deepened her understanding of him.

Li Qian, with a mix of apology and sincerity, said, "To be honest, I just want to find the right person to marry now, and then develop feelings after marriage. I wonder if you mind?"

Li Mingxi took a sip of coffee and decided to share her thoughts too.

"Li Qian, I’ll be honest with you too. Actually, I don’t want to get married; I want to stay single all my life. It’s my family that disagrees, which is why I had no choice but to come to this blind date."

Li Qian wasn’t angry after hearing this.

He asked with a smile, "Could I know why you don’t want to get married?"

Li Mingxi pondered, "I don’t like being tied down. I believe that even if I got married, I would divorce sooner or later. I don’t want to hold anyone back; I like living freely."

"But your family doesn’t agree, right?"

"Correct."

"Would you compromise for your family?"

"... I don’t know."

Li Qian smiled, "How about we spend some time together first? I think neither of us can refuse the other right now because it would upset our families."

Li Mingxi shook her head, "But wouldn’t that just be wasting your time?"

"Mingxi, I’ll be honest with you too. Actually, I also don’t want to get married. But, my family insists on it, just like yours, which puts me in a difficult position."

Li Mingxi was stunned. How could there be such a coincidence?

"I don’t understand why you don’t want to get married."

"The reason, I will find a chance to tell you. For now, let’s get to know each other. Even if we want to avoid marriage, we need some time, don’t we?"

Seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, nor was he playing any games, Li Mingxi nodded and agreed.

With everything out in the open, the atmosphere between them became much more relaxed.

After the date, Li Mingxi returned home.
