Chapter 2786: Li Qian Is the Only Choice

Li Qian suppressed the smile on his lips as he ruffled Doudou’s hair and let him play by himself.

Then he sat down next to Li Mingxi.

After taking a sip of water, he leaned against the sofa and said in a deep voice, "There’s no possibility between Doudou’s mom and me. I’ll find her and take care of her, but I won’t marry her."

"Why?" Li Mingxi couldn’t help but ask, regretting it immediately after.

Li Qian had already expressed that he wouldn’t explain the reason.

"Sorry, I asked too much. You don’t have to answer."

Li Qian laughed and said, "It’s not that I don’t want to answer. It’s just that some things are better left unsaid. Just like you don’t want to tell me your reasons for not accepting Xiao Lang."

Li Mingxi nodded to show her understanding.

She had her own unspoken difficulties, and she figured Li Qian probably did too.

***********

Similarly, it wasn’t until Li Qian lulled Doudou to sleep that they left.

As they left, Li Mingxi could clearly sense Li Qian’s reluctance.

Sitting in the car, she asked him, "How often do you see him?"

"I come on weekends, and if I’m free, during the week too. At least twice a week."

"Are you really eager to get married now?" Li Mingxi asked with a smile.

Li Qian nodded, "Yes. The sooner I marry, the sooner I can be with my son. When will you agree to marry me?"

"I haven’t thought about it yet." Li Mingxi was actually avoiding the issue.

She knew that eventually, she could only choose Li Qian, but she wasn’t willing to compromise so soon.

She was always hoping for a miracle, but she also knew that a miracle wouldn’t happen.

It was as if she were a death row inmate, refusing to acknowledge her sentence, always waiting for a day of special pardon.

Li Qian drove Li Mingxi home.

At this time, it wasn’t too late.

Li Mingxi walked into the living room, where all her family members were, except for Li Mingchen.

Li Mingchen had said that he wanted to have fun while he was young. Otherwise, after marriage, he wouldn’t enjoy such freedom.

And indeed, Li Mingchen was living it up. You wouldn’t see him before midnight.

"Mingxi, you’re back. Come sit and chat with Grandma." Grandma Li saw her and happily patted the seat beside her.

Li Mingxi’s scalp tingled; she was most afraid of chatting with Grandma now.

"Grandma, I want to go upstairs and take a shower."

"Come chat for a bit; you can shower later." Grandma Li wouldn’t easily let her go.

Li’s mother and father also watched her.

Li Mingxi thought, are they planning a three-court trial today?

She braced herself and sat down, as Grandma Li took her hand and asked with a smile, "Why did you come back so late? Who did you go on a date with?"

Li Mingxi smiled and said, "Grandma, aren’t you asking questions you already know the answer to? I went on a date with Li Qian."

"Mingxi, we used to think no one wanted you... no, we thought you didn’t have someone you liked, so we pushed you to meet Li Qian. Li Qian is a good kid, but you shouldn’t wrong yourself. If you have someone you like, we’ll support you. Right, everyone?"

Grandma Li looked at her son and daughter-in-law, and Li’s father and mother nodded, "Yes, that’s it."

Li Mingxi almost rolled her eyes.

Back then, when she said she wanted to find someone she liked to marry, what did they say?

They said she didn’t need to find someone she loved, just someone she could live respectfully with.

Now they’re changing their tune, what are they really up to?!
