Fated to My Billionaire Husband

”No, it’s probably just the weather being too hot, feeling a bit uncomfortable.” Li Mingxi casually explained.

Grandma Li asked again, ”Xiao Lang hasn’t been here for several days. Are you still in touch with him?”

Hearing Xiao Lang’s name, Li Mingxi felt her heart tighten.

She pretended to get some water and took a sip: ”I’ve had no contact with him.”

”You couldn’t have broken up completely with him, right?” Grandma Li asked sharply.

Li Mingxi chuckled, ”Grandma, I broke up with him a long time ago.”

”Ah, Xiao Lang is such a good kid. Mingxi, you’re not young anymore. Don’t be too stubborn about some things. Xiao Lang treats you well, you should hold on to him. Don’t let some other woman benefit from it.”

Li Mingxi lowered her gaze, hiding the sadness in her eyes.

”Grandma, I still remember you saying Li Qian was a good kid too.”

Grandma Li glanced at her, ”I’ve been through this. I can tell the one you love is Xiao Lang. Don’t choose the wrong path just because you’re angry or for the sake of face.”

Li Mingxi smiled and firmly said, ”Grandma, don’t you know my character by now? I’ve never regretted the path I’ve chosen.”

Whether in the past or present, she never regretted any path she took.

Even that nightmare, she didn’t regret it.

Grandma Li had said all she could; whether Li Mingxi would listen depended on her.

Every generation has its own fortune, and Grandma Li couldn’t manage so much.

...

Li Mingxi sat in the office, working with little focus.

She stared at a document for half an hour without turning a page.

Seeing lunch time approaching, Li Mingxi was planning to head off for lunch when she received a call.

She picked up her phone and saw it was from Jian Yufei.

Li Mingxi was a bit surprised as she answered, ”Hey, what’s up?”

”Cousin, are you free today to join me for lunch?” Jian Yufei asked with a laugh on the other end.

”Lunch?”

”Yeah, I’m almost at the entrance of your hospital. Come out quickly, I’ve already reserved a table at the restaurant.”

Li Mingxi was puzzled, ”Why are you inviting me to lunch?”

”Can’t I invite you for lunch? Come down quickly. A new restaurant opened recently, and the food is delicious.”

”Alright, I’m coming down right away.”

Li Mingxi hung up, gathered her things, and left work.

She didn’t have anything else to do anyway, so she might as well accompany Jian Yufei for a meal, as a distraction.

Just as Li Mingxi reached the hospital entrance, a car stopped in front of her.

The car door opened, and Jian Yufei poked her head out, ”Cousin, hop in.”

Li Mingxi got in, the door closed, and Jian Yufei immediately instructed the driver to start the car.

”Why the rush, worried there won’t be seats?” Li Mingxi teased.

Jian Yufei laughed, ”I already reserved the seats, of course there’ll be some. It’s just that it’s almost off work time, and I was worried about traffic.”

”What about Ruan Tianling? Does he allow you to go out for lunch?” Li Mingxi asked again.

”He’s on a business trip, won’t be back until tonight.”

”Did you sneak out?”

Jian Yufei burst out laughing, ”You’re really smart. I’m cooped up at home every day, I’m practically going moldy, and recently I’ve been having serious cravings. When I want to eat something, I just have to have it. The new restaurant has a dish called pickled bamboo shoot chicken, it’s so delicious, just thinking about it makes my mouth water.”

Li Mingxi knew that when pregnant women had cravings, they really wanted it, and if they couldn’t have it, they really would drool.
