Chapter 2824: It Means "I Like It

Li Mingxi walked up to Xiao Lang and softly asked him, "How long have you been waiting?"

"Not long." Xiao Lang didn’t want to say much. He took her hand and asked with concern, "Have you had dinner?"

"No."

"Even if you want to avoid me, you can’t forget to eat." Xiao Lang’s voice carried a hint of reproach.

Li Mingxi defended herself, "...There was too much work today, so I forgot."

Xiao Lang smirked but didn’t expose her lie.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to have hot pot," he said.

Li Mingxi’s eyes lit up for a moment, but she then shook her head, "Forget it, let’s have Western food instead."

"At this hour, where else can you find Western food? Come on, let’s have hot pot."

Li Mingxi really wanted to say, you can’t eat spicy, so why have hot pot?

But Xiao Lang pushed her into the car and headed straight for the hot pot restaurant.

Even though it was summer, the hot pot restaurant was still packed.

Blowing cold air while enjoying spicy and steaming hot pot, that feeling could only be summed up in one word—awesome.

Li Mingxi liked strong-flavored food, naturally, she loved hot pot.

When they arrived at the hot pot restaurant, they found a spot to sit down.

Xiao Lang had a sensitive stomach and couldn’t eat too much spicy food, so they ordered a divided pot that catered to both spicy lovers and non-spicy eaters.

Still, Xiao Lang accompanied Li Mingxi to eat some spicy food, but not much.

They enjoyed the meal heartily and then headed back.

On the way home, Li Mingxi was anxious, unsure if Xiao Lang would continue the day’s topic.

She stole a glance at him; his expression was calm, as though he had forgotten about the day’s events.

But Li Mingxi didn’t believe Xiao Lang had truly forgotten.

Yet, there was a touch of wishful thinking in her heart.

...

Upon reaching the community, Xiao Lang parked the car in the underground garage.

He held Li Mingxi’s hand as they took the elevator and walked to his front door, opening it to enter.

The room was pitch black, and Li Mingxi reached out to turn on the light, but he stopped her.

"What are you doing?" Li Mingxi asked in confusion.

Xiao Lang smiled faintly, "Let me."

He hit some switch, and the room instantly lit up.

But it wasn’t the usual lighting.

In the room stood a Christmas tree, adorned with beautiful small colored lights.

A star hung at the top of the tree.

The star twinkled, emitting a golden glow, very beautiful.

Li Mingxi stared at the Christmas tree, taking two seconds to snap back to reality.

"Why is there a Christmas tree? It’s still quite some time until Christmas."

Xiao Lang embraced her from behind, "Don’t you think it looks nice?"

"Hmm, it’s okay." Li Mingxi always had a hard shell.

Xiao Lang kissed her earlobe, "Close your eyes, I have a gift for you."

Li Mingxi hesitated for a moment, then closed her eyes.

Xiao Lang released her, and then something cold was draped around her neck.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw a large diamond necklace hanging on her chest.

Women love diamonds; they love jewelry.

They love the jewelry given by the one they love even more...

No matter how clichéd the gift, it can always touch a woman’s heart.

"Do you like it?" Xiao Lang asked her, staring intently.

Li Mingxi touched the pendant of the necklace, "It’s okay."

Xiao Lang lifted her chin, "When you say it’s okay, it always means you like it."

"You’re not me, how would you know?" Li Mingxi gave him a sidelong glance.

"I just know."

Xiao Lang led her to the center of the living room, picking up a remote and pressing a button, causing music to fill the room.

Xiao Lang bent down and extended a hand, "Beautiful lady, may I invite you to dance?"
