But she still lied without hesitation: "I haven't finished my work here yet. The patient has vomiting and diarrhea and is foaming at the mouth. His condition is very bad. I guess I can't rush back for dinner."
Xiao Lang was very disappointed after hearing this.
"When will you come back?"
"I don't know. You don't have to wait for me to eat. I'll eat here later. Husband... I'm sorry, I promised to go back and spend the holidays with you."
Xiao Lang believed Li Mingxi's words deeply.
He is also very supportive of her work.
He is a very open-minded man, so he is not angry if Li Mingxi is delayed and cannot come back.
"It doesn't matter. When you come back tonight, I will make up for you. Don't feel guilty and work hard. We don't blame you." Xiao Lang said considerately.
Li Mingxi raised her hand and covered her mouth so hard that she almost cried.
Trying to calm down her mood, she whispered: "Okay, I understand. Husband, thank you..."
Xiao Lang smiled and said, "You're being polite to me again!"
Li Mingxi also laughed: "I won't be polite to you anymore. You go to eat and apologize to grandma and the others for me."
"Well, I know, then I'll hang up. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Li Mingxi hung up the phone and lowered his arms dejectedly.
At this moment, she was eager to return home and really wanted to go back to celebrate the festival.
Li Mingxi rushed back to the room and faced Long Jiutian, saying firmly: "I don't care anymore, I'm going home! No matter what you say, I'm going home!"
Long Jiutian's face was expressionless and showed no reaction.
Li Mingxi turned around and was about to leave. After taking a few steps, she couldn't walk anymore.
No, she can't be so impulsive.
The consequences of impulsiveness are very serious...
Li Mingxi took a deep breath and returned to the room.
Long Jiutian was not surprised at all when he saw her coming in.
"Aren't you going back? Why are you back again?" he asked lightly and mockingly.
"Long Jiutian, what will it take for you to let me go back?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go back."
"Really? Then will you not retaliate against me?" Li Mingxi asked with a sneer.
Long Jiutian said funny: "No matter what you do, I will take revenge on you. After all, the only motivation for me to live now is to take revenge on you."
I don't know if it's because it's dark or because there's not enough light in the room.
Li Mingxi found that he looked terrifying, like a devil.
"What are you going to do before you let me go back?" she asked him again.
Long Jiutian raised his eyebrows: "You can leave at any time."
"Long Jiutian, what do you want to do to let me go back?" Li Mingxi asked persistently, as if she didn't hear what he said.
Long Jiutian's eyes were gloomy, and he pursed his lips and stopped answering her.
Li Mingxi's eyes were blank and he asked again: "What do you want to do before you let me go back?"
…
The absence of Li Mingxi at this Lantern Festival dinner made the atmosphere a little less joyful.
Especially Xiao Lang, although he was smiling on his face, he was not happy at all in his heart.
Without Li Mingxi, he would have no interest in doing anything.
After dinner, Mother Li and the others planned to watch the party.
Xiao Lang didn't plan to accompany them and wanted to leave.
Mother Li and the others tried to persuade her, but Xiao Lang insisted on leaving, so they gave up.
Xiao Lang drove out of Li's house, feeling a little depressed.
He didn't want to go home, so as soon as the steering wheel turned, he went to find Li Mingxi.
…
Li Mingxi had been standing beside Long Jiutian's bed for more than an hour.
Every few minutes, she would ask him how he would let her go.
