Chapter 2816: My Waist Isn’t Injured

Li Mingxi hesitated for a moment, then lay down next to him.

Xiao Lang was right beside her, shirtless, and in an instant, his masculine scent enveloped her.

Li Mingxi’s heart was somewhat in chaos.

Xiao Lang turned his head to stare into her eyes.

Li Mingxi felt uneasy under his gaze, "What are you looking at?!"

Xiao Lang chuckled, "You always appear so bold, but inside you’re just insecure."

Li Mingxi curled her lips into a seductive smile.

"You know me so well?"

Xiao Lang suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on her left chest.

Li Mingxi froze, her face instantly flushed.

It was as if Xiao Lang didn’t know where his hand was, "I can feel your heartbeat, fast and losing rhythm."

Embarrassed and annoyed, Li Mingxi pulled his hand away and turned her back to him.

"I’m going to sleep, don’t bother me!"

She really didn’t want to face him anymore.

Xiao Lang curled his lips, turned off the light, and lay down against her back.

Li Mingxi could feel the heat source behind her.

Her whole body was tense; suddenly, a pair of hands embraced her from behind.

Then her body was turned over, and Li Mingxi instinctively pressed against Xiao Lang’s chest.

"What are you doing?!" she whispered hoarsely.

In the darkness, Xiao Lang’s forehead leaned against hers, very close.

"We’re lying on the same bed, did you really think we’d just sleep?" he questioned softly, hot breath spilling over Li Mingxi’s face.

Her cheeks seemed even redder now.

Luckily, the room was pitch black, and nothing was visible.

"You have injuries, and I’m a doctor, I told you to stay still, don’t you understand?"

Xiao Lang pinched her waist, "It’s my arm that’s hurt, not my waist."

Li Mingxi took a second to grasp his meaning.

Was he determined to go ahead tonight?

Li Mingxi knew she couldn’t escape, so she didn’t resist.

"Just be quick, I want to sleep."

A flicker of something dark passed through Xiao Lang’s eyes; without a word, he kissed her lips.

Li Mingxi clenched her fists nervously as Xiao Lang held her nape, kissing her deeply.

Xiao Lang’s kissing skills were good, and soon Li Mingxi felt dizzy.

She thought Xiao Lang would go further, but he just kissed her for a while and didn’t do anything else.

He released her swollen lips, held her tightly from the front, and planted a kiss on her cheek.

"Go to sleep."

Li Mingxi blinked, was he letting her off so easily?

Xiao Lang had already closed his eyes, and Li Mingxi confirmed he was serious, feeling relieved.

Yet, there was a faint tinge of disappointment.

Overall, she was glad he didn’t go further with her.

Because she had bottled up a lot of frustration today, and if they’d gone further, she might find it hard to forgive him.

Li Mingxi relaxed her body, nestled into his arms, and quickly fell asleep.

It was a quiet night, and for the first time, they peacefully slept embraced like this.

...

Morning came.

Li Mingxi opened her eyes to find she was alone in bed.

This was Xiao Lang’s bed, and though the sheets and blankets were clean, his scent lingered.

Li Mingxi lay in bed for a few minutes, then got up to wash.

After taking care of everything, she opened the door to find Xiao Lang coming out of the kitchen with breakfast prepared.

"Come have breakfast," he invited her with a smile.

Li Mingxi walked closer to see the sumptuous breakfast.

He had prepared fried eggs, milk, millet porridge, kimchi, and cucumber salad.
