Chapter 2997: Xiao Lang Doesn’t Want Her Anymore

Li Mingxi shook her head, tears already welling up in her eyes...

It’s not like that, none of it is!

But her actions really were just like that.

"I’m sorry!" Li Mingxi apologized with deep remorse, her usual pride diminished to humility at this moment.

Xiao Lang’s black eyes flickered, "You don’t need to say sorry. It’s I who should be apologizing. I’m sorry for pressuring you."

Li Mingxi’s heart was in chaos.

What did he mean by that? Did he regret marrying her? Was he going to let go?

If he truly wanted to let go... what should she do?

Allow it, or not allow it?

She didn’t want to allow it!

Xiao Lang smiled a little, turned around, and flagged down a taxi.

Li Mingxi thought he was leaving, her eyes fixed tightly on him.

Xiao Lang opened the car door, turned his head slightly, and said blandly, "Get in."

Li Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief, he hadn’t planned to leave her behind.

Li Mingxi quickly got into the car, but Xiao Lang didn’t follow suit; he slammed the car door shut loudly.

"Xiao Lang—" Li Mingxi looked at him in astonishment.

Xiao Lang ignored her reaction, calmly told the driver the address of a hotel, then tossed a hundred yuan to the driver to start driving.

Li Mingxi really wanted to ask him, "Aren’t you coming back with me?"

The words reached her lips but stayed there; she just kept her eyes fixed, staring at him unblinkingly.

Xiao Lang also stared at her, but his gaze was too black, too cold to reveal anything.

As the car started, Xiao Lang suddenly turned and left. Li Mingxi clenched her hand, suppressing the urge to cry.

Is Xiao Lang abandoning her?

Li Mingxi held back her tears, feeling as if the world had become dark and cheerless.

...

The car arrived at the hotel, and Li Mingxi got off in a daze.

She didn’t know how she managed to get back to the hotel.

In the vast suite, she was all alone, Xiao Lang hadn’t returned.

Li Mingxi sat on the bed, suddenly feeling very scared, afraid that Xiao Lang wasn’t coming back, that he didn’t want her anymore.

She had struggled to gather the courage to marry him, to be with him. If he suddenly withdrew, what should she do?

Li Mingxi realized that from beginning to end, she was always very passive.

Xiao Lang wanted to get married, and she passively married him.

If Xiao Lang wanted a divorce, she would be forced to a passive divorce too...

Despite the myriad reluctances in her heart, she understood that if he wanted a divorce, she definitely couldn’t bring herself to plead for him to stay.

Because there were too many things binding her.

Now, her only prayer was that Xiao Lang wouldn’t divorce her. Perhaps one day, they would divorce, but she still selfishly wanted to hold onto him a bit longer.

Even if it was just a minute, a second, she was unwilling to let go.

...

Li Mingxi sat alone on the bed for a long time, just like a lost soul, her world containing only herself.

The sky gradually darkened.

Xiao Lang still hadn’t returned, and Li Mingxi remained seated, unmoving.

Xiao Lang’s things were still here, Li Mingxi knew he would return, maybe he’d be back soon.

However, by 1 AM, Xiao Lang still hadn’t returned.

Li Mingxi worried something might have happened to him, took out her phone and dialed his number.

"Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please switch to voicemail, thank you."

Li Mingxi hung up the phone in disappointment, drafting a text message to send to Xiao Lang.

[Xiao Lang, come back early, let’s talk things over calmly.]

Xiao Lang quickly replied with a message, Li Mingxi gripped the phone tightly, hurriedly opened it.
