Chapter 2712: Never Thought of Giving Up

It was really hard not to notice her.

"Excuse me for a moment," Xiao Lang said to Wen Ning beside him, then walked in the direction where Li Mingxi had disappeared.

Li Mingxi turned on the faucet, washed her hands, and then looked up at the mirror.

In the mirror, she looked beautiful.

None of the women present today were as beautiful as her.

But no matter how beautiful a woman is, there comes a time when she will fade.

A woman’s youth is limited, and how long can she remain beautiful?

Actually, a woman’s most proud asset is still her youth...

But she’s no longer young.

Li Mingxi sighed, dried her hands, and then walked out of the bathroom.

She saw Xiao Lang standing not far away.

Li Mingxi was momentarily dazed, but Xiao Lang naturally greeted her, "You came to the wedding too?"

"Yes, Wen Peng is my college classmate."

Li Mingxi didn’t ask him why he attended the wedding.

Xiao Lang smiled faintly, "So you’re classmates with Mr. Wen. I’ve been in business dealings with the Wen Family recently, so I also came to attend the wedding. If I had known you were coming, I would have come with you."

So he really has business dealings with the Wen Family...

Hearing his voluntary explanation, Li Mingxi felt a little better.

"Are you leaving now?" she asked with a smile.

Xiao Lang nodded, "Let’s go, the wedding is probably about to start."

...

They returned to the wedding banquet.

Indeed, the wedding was about to start, and guests were already sitting down one after another.

Li Mingxi directly sat down in the last row, and Xiao Lang naturally sat beside her.

"Mr. Xiao," Wen Ning suddenly walked towards them.

Though she called Xiao Lang, her gaze was on Li Mingxi.

Wen Ning smiled, "There are still seats in the front, why don’t you both sit up front?"

Li Mingxi smiled brightly, "No need, it’s the same sitting here."

Xiao Lang also declined her offer, "I’ll sit here too, Miss Wen, please go ahead and work, don’t mind us."

Wen Ning, however, sat down right next to him.

"You are my invited guest; how can I ignore you?"

And so, Wen Ning sat with them.

Xiao Lang glanced at Li Mingxi without a change in expression; she looked composed and showed no reaction.

Xiao Lang didn’t want her to misunderstand anything.

But she had no reaction at all, which left him feeling a bit disappointed.

More than once, Xiao Lang believed Li Mingxi had truly moved on from him.

Yet he always held on to a glimmer of hope, unwilling to give up, wanting to keep trying.

Perhaps, in the next moment, Li Mingxi would be touched by him.

Actually, he never even considered giving up.

...

After the wedding ceremony, it was time to eat.

Of course, the meal wouldn’t be on the lawn.

It’s summer now, and the temperature is high. It’s quite disrespectful for the host to let guests dine in the heat.

Fortunately, there’s a big hotel next to the wetland park.

Everyone moved to the hotel.

Xiao Lang stayed with Li Mingxi all the while, chatting with her like old friends.

Li Mingxi, for some reason, wasn’t cold to him today and chatted with him as if they were friends.

Actually, they were considered friends.

Xiao Lang was polite to her, so naturally, she was polite in return.

As a result, during the meal, Xiao Lang sat beside her again.

"Mingxi, aren’t you going to introduce us?" A few of Li Mingxi’s classmates came over to join in the fun.

Surrounded by a table of people, Xiao Lang remained calm and composed, exhibiting a sense of dignity.

He stayed silent, waiting for Li Mingxi to introduce him.

Li Mingxi gave a small smile, "This is Xiao Lang, a friend of mine."
