Chapter 2829: Don’t Want to Be the Other Woman

Of course, Li Mingxi didn’t dare to tell the truth.

"Isn’t it obvious? You and him shouldn’t meet."

"I’ve met him before, why shouldn’t we meet?" Xiao Lang’s face looked even worse.

"Because my relationship with him has changed, and your relationship with me has changed."

Thinking of this, Xiao Lang became very angry.

Li Qian had become Li Mingxi’s official partner, while he was her secret lover, hidden in the shadows.

No matter how he saw it, he seemed like the third wheel.

Xiao Lang didn’t want to be the third wheel, nor did he want to be hidden. He wanted to openly have her.

"You and him aren’t married yet, so I have a chance. And now you’re with me, the one who doesn’t belong here is him!"

"We agreed, we..."

"I don’t want to be your secret lover!" Xiao Lang roared angrily, "I just don’t understand why you can accept him but not me! Am I not as good as him?"

Li Mingxi looked at him calmly and said, "Do you have to be this way? Just because I agreed to your demands, does it make you think I’ve compromised? It’s my freedom to choose whom I want, don’t interfere with my decision."

Xiao Lang pressed his thin lips together, his expression cold and terrifying.

Li Mingxi lowered her eyes, not daring to face him: "We don’t have much time, let’s not argue over these things anymore and get along well."

Xiao Lang turned around without saying a word, opened the door, and walked out, shutting the door with a loud bang.

Li Mingxi sighed.

Being together means lots of conflicts.

Fighting yesterday, fighting today, it’s exhausting.

...

Li Mingxi didn’t wait long before Li Qian arrived.

Not knowing where Xiao Lang had gone, Li Mingxi walked around the neighborhood but didn’t see him.

Heading to the entrance, Li Mingxi immediately spotted Li Qian’s car.

She approached, Li Qian opened the door, and handed her a bag: "These are some snacks sent from abroad, take them and enjoy."

"Thanks." Li Mingxi accepted the bag and invited him upstairs for tea.

Li Qian declined, "I have something to do, I’ll be leaving first. By the way... about our marriage, I mentioned it to my family, but we haven’t set a date, they said we’re still considering, so don’t rush to give an answer."

After speaking, Li Qian drove away.

Li Mingxi stood there, still processing what Li Qian had said.

He was giving her a chance to change her mind.

But it’s also good this way, just in case something unforeseen happens and she can’t choose him, at least she won’t be unable to explain to his family.

Of course, it’s best if everything goes smoothly.

Li Mingxi carried the snacks to the security room: "Excuse me, have you seen Xiao Lang?"

A security guard shook his head quickly: "No, Mr. Xiao doesn’t seem to have gone out."

"I see, thanks."

Li Mingxi turned and walked back into the neighborhood.

Since Xiao Lang hadn’t left, he should be somewhere in the neighborhood.

But earlier she walked around the neighborhood and didn’t see him, so he’s probably in the gym in the basement.

In the building where Li Mingxi lived, each building only had 16 households, and each building’s basement had a gym, cinema, and basketball room.

Li Mingxi rarely went to the basement, so as she walked in, it felt very unfamiliar.

At this time, the basement was almost empty, with only the manager there.

Li Mingxi saw Xiao Lang in the basketball room.

He was wearing his home clothes, barefoot, playing basketball.

Not knowing how long he’d been playing, he was covered in sweat, and his thin short sleeve shirt was soaked with sweat.
