Chapter 2986: The Single Jujube Dumpling

Since Xiao Lang likes eating the dishes she cooks, she urged him to eat quickly.

This meal’s main dish was dumplings.

Xiao Lang ate a few morsels of food, then picked up a dumpling to eat.

He said the dumplings were delicious too, and Li Mingxi laughed: "If you like it, eat more, finish the whole plate."

"Alright!"

Xiao Lang’s stomach can expand and contract; he doesn’t feel hungry when eating little, nor bloated when eating a lot. He soon finished half a plate of dumplings.

Li Mingxi ate slowly, constantly watching him eat, especially her eyes, which kept staring at the dumplings on the plate.

Finally, Li Mingxi saw Xiao Lang pick up a special dumpling.

Li Mingxi’s eyes lit up as she watched Xiao Lang put the dumpling in his mouth, chew, and then saw him successfully furrow his brows, filled with confusion.

Quickly, Xiao Lang’s eyebrows relaxed, "Is it dates?"

Li Mingxi nodded: "Hmm. I wrapped a date, initially planning to wrap a coin, but was worried you might break a tooth, so I went with dates."

Xiao Lang ate the sweet candied date, feeling sweet inside.

He gazed at her affectionately, smiling, and asked, "Why did you specially wrap something?"

"During the New Year, when eating dumplings, people wrap something inside, whoever eats it will have good fortune. This is my first time wrapping dumplings, so I thought I’d include one."

She just hoped he would have more fortune, to have a happy and blissful second half of his life.

Xiao Lang was slightly startled: "Just one?"

Li Mingxi nodded: "Yes, if I wrapped more, it wouldn’t be meaningful."

Only one piece, and she gave it to him, the item bringing fortune, she only gave to him alone.

Xiao Lang’s throat moved; he raised his hand to gently caress her cheek: "Next time I wrap dumplings, I’ll include one for you to eat."

"Alright."

Xiao Lang suddenly remembered something, smiled: "Do you know the meaning of dates?"

Li Mingxi blinked: "What?"

"Zao (dates) means early noble children born. Are you hoping I’ll have children early by giving me a date, my dear?"

"..." Li Mingxi was mortified; why does he always relate everything to having children.

Xiao Lang leaned over ambiguously, "Has your ’relative’ left?"

"Just eat your dumplings!" Li Mingxi picked one up and stuffed it in his mouth.

Xiao Lang still stared at her with ambiguity; he calculated the time, her period should be over.

So tonight... he can finally have his feast.

After dinner, Xiao Lang took the initiative to wash dishes, while Li Mingxi watched TV in the living room.

Soon, the doorbell rang, Li Mingxi was very curious, didn’t know who had arrived, could it be her mom?

She went to open the door, found it was the delivery person.

The delivery was for Xiao Lang; Li Mingxi signed for it, then took it inside.

Xiao Lang happened to come out after washing the dishes: "Who came?"

"It’s a delivery guy for you, here’s your package." Li Mingxi handed the box to him.

Xiao Lang was puzzled; where did a package come from?

The delivery slip only had recipient information, no sender information.

Xiao Lang was even more curious; he took the box and went straight to the study.

Things like this are usually unusual, afraid Li Mingxi shouldn’t see them, he went to the study alone to open it.

In the box, there was only one recording pen.

Xiao Lang pressed the switch, Li Mingxi’s cheerful voice flowed out from it...

...

Sitting in the living room, Li Mingxi wondered curiously what Xiao Lang received.

Before long, Xiao Lang came out, but his face didn’t look good.
