Chapter 2991: A Conversation with You

After a quarrel, their relationship seemed to have improved, as if their hearts were closer to each other.

Li Mingxi’s period had ended, and naturally, Xiao Lang wanted to resume his plan to have a child.

He wasn’t in a hurry to have a child.

If Li Mingxi were still young, he would have been willing to wait a few more years.

But Li Mingxi’s age couldn’t afford to wait. The later she gave birth, the worse it would be for her health.

So, he thought it would be best if the child was born next year. They only wanted one and wouldn’t have any more in the future.

Xiao Lang’s intentions were clear to Li Mingxi even if he didn’t say them.

Every time she took birth control pills, Li Mingxi felt guilty, but she had to take them.

At the very least, she couldn’t get pregnant without a foolproof plan.

Meanwhile, Li Mingxi also secretly hired a private detective to investigate the purpose of those people coming to City A.

After a few days of investigation, there was a bit of a breakthrough.

As expected, those people were looking for something. Having not found it in City A, they went elsewhere to search.

The information was enough to make Li Mingxi apprehensive.

It was likely that they would soon track it back to her...

...

Three days after the argument with Xiao Lang, Li Mingxi received a phone call from her friend.

"The thing you asked me to investigate has been found out."

Li Mingxi raised an eyebrow, "I’ll come to see you right away."

The day after the argument, Li Mingxi had taken the delivery box, along with a recording pen, to a friend of hers who worked as a forensic expert for analysis.

The results were now in, and she was eager to see who had sent them these things.

The outcome was both within her expectations and beyond them.

*******

Li Mingxi called Xiao Lang, "Are you busy right now?"

"Not busy, what’s up?" Xiao Lang asked with a faint smile.

"Come out, I’ll treat you to coffee."

Li Mingxi found a coffee shop, and it wasn’t long before Xiao Lang arrived. Then Li Mingxi called Wen Ning to invite her to meet.

Wen Ning didn’t want to come. Li Mingxi smiled lightly and said, "If you don’t come when I invite you, don’t expect me to show up next time you invite me."

Wen Ning thought about it and ended up coming.

When she arrived, Li Mingxi was sitting alone in a secluded corner drinking coffee.

Wen Ning’s leg injury had healed, but the fracture in her wrist hadn’t yet, and it was still in a brace.

She sat down opposite Li Mingxi and asked calmly, "Why did you want to see me?"

Li Mingxi noticed she looked well and asked with a smile, "Is your injury getting better?"

"Much better, it’s basically fine now," Wen Ning replied with a bit of discomfort.

Her injuries were self-inflicted.

"I was thinking, if your injury hadn’t improved, I’d let Xiao Lang know so you wouldn’t have to go to work. Look at you, going to work without fully recovering, why push yourself so hard?"

Wen Ning couldn’t grasp Li Mingxi’s intentions, "Why exactly did you want to see me?"

"Nothing in particular, just in a bad mood and wanted to chat."

In a bad mood?

In Wen Ning’s eyes, a trace of contemplation appeared.

Li Mingxi said plainly, "Someone recently tried to frame me, so I’ve been in a bad mood."

Wen Ning’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.

Did she know it was her?

Impossible, she had done it so secretively, she couldn’t trace it back to her.

"Who framed you?" Wen Ning asked casually.

Li Mingxi stared directly into Wen Ning’s eyes and said, "I don’t know who framed me. Anyway, her goal was to drive a wedge between Xiao Lang and me."
