Chapter 2719: Just That Face of Yours

Xiao Lang cooked very quickly, in just two hours, he finished preparing all the dishes.

He placed the sumptuous dishes on the table and called Li Mingxi over to eat.

Even though Li Mingxi had tasted countless gourmet delicacies, she couldn’t help but swallow hard.

"Smells so good... If you ever lose your job, becoming a chef would definitely be worth it."

"Hmm, that’s my last resort profession. If I truly have nothing left, I’ll become a chef." Xiao Lang surprisingly answered her seriously.

Li Mingxi glanced at him: "What else can you do?"

Xiao Lang sat down beside her and served her a bowl of old duck soup.

"I can speak English, I guess that counts as a profession too."

Li Mingxi laughed: "So can I."

"I also speak French, Spanish, German, Japanese... and a few other languages from various countries."

Li Mingxi couldn’t laugh at him anymore.

"You’re amazing! I’m most fluent in English and Spanish."

Xiao Lang smiled lightly: "I play the piano, violin, and cello, that also counts as a skill, right? If I ever run out of money for food, I’ll perform on the streets."

If he performed on the streets, there’d probably be tons of people showing up to support him!

"What other skills do you have?"

"I know management, finance, software technology... seems like nothing special, does fighting count? I could also be a bodyguard."

"If you were a bodyguard, you’d be protecting either a princess or a queen."

"That’d be great, the pay would be higher." Xiao Lang laughed.

Li Mingxi took a sip of the soup and smiled faintly: "Actually, you don’t need to know so many things, you won’t starve."

"Why?"

Li Mingxi reached out her finger and lifted his chin.

She stared at his face with a playful gaze: "Just with your face, you won’t worry about food and drink."

Xiao Lang froze—

Li Mingxi retracted her teasing hand, "Am I wrong?"

Xiao Lang snapped back and a charming curve appeared on his lips.

"Are you suggesting I find a rich woman to keep me? Hmm, the only rich woman I know seems to be you. Are you willing to keep me?"

"Cough, cough..."

Li Mingxi felt like the soup she just drank was about to come back up.

She glared at him in embarrassment and annoyance: "What are you thinking! I mean, you could become a celebrity with your looks and be famous all over Asia."

Xiao Lang lowered his head, picked up his chopsticks, and slowly started eating.

"What’s so great about being an entertainer, working yourself to death? Being kept is a lot more comfortable."

Li Mingxi: "..."

This guy, he’s getting slicker by the day.

And here she was, discussing these silly topics with him after having too much food.

No, she hadn’t even started eating yet!

Li Mingxi buried herself in her meal, ignoring him.

But honestly, the food he made was too delicious, her taste buds ascended to a new level.

Thinking about not getting to eat such delicious food again was truly depressing.

...

After the meal, Xiao Lang volunteered to wash the dishes and clean up.

Seeing him so diligent, Li Mingxi felt no pressure at all.

She really didn’t like doing housework, always leaving that to the hourly maid.

"Have some fruit." After cleaning up everything, Xiao Lang brought over a plate of cut fruit.

Li Mingxi looked at him without saying a word.

Xiao Lang placed the fruit platter on the coffee table and sat down beside her.

"What’s on TV? I haven’t watched TV in a long time, recommend something good for me."

Li Mingxi glanced up at the clock on the wall.

"It’s seven o’clock now," she said abruptly.

Xiao Lang nodded, "Time flies."

"Aren’t you supposed to head back?"
