Chapter 2812: You Owe Me a Heart

Li Mingxi endured the pain and said harshly, "You’ve always been rational, what’s gotten into you this time? Is my rejection making you this miserable? You should be more carefree than I am and live better than me. Look at you now, are you still calm?"

Xiao Lang’s lips curled into a strange smile.

"Do you think I’m really shameless, really pathetic?" he asked coldly.

Li Mingxi opened her mouth but didn’t answer.

Xiao Lang suddenly pushed her away, his dark eyes devoid of warmth.

"Do you believe I can do something even more pathetic?"

"..."

"How long until you marry Li Qian?" he suddenly changed the topic.

Li Mingxi was stunned and couldn’t follow his train of thought.

"Is it at the end of the month?" Xiao Lang smirked coldly, "It’s two weeks away; I want you to be my lover for half a month!"

Li Mingxi’s eyes widened.

It was as if she didn’t recognize the man in front of her. Was this the gentlemanly and gentle Xiao Lang?

"If I can’t have your heart, I’ll have your body." Xiao Lang’s smile faded, his expression icy.

"If you don’t agree, I’ll entangle you for life, never let you go. I’ll do everything I can to stop you from marrying Li Qian! So, you better behave and don’t push me."

"Smack—" Li Mingxi raised her hand and gave him a hard slap.

Xiao Lang’s head tilted slightly.

Li Mingxi’s eyes turned red, shaking with anger.

"Stop trying to threaten me! I’m not afraid of you, Li Mingxi!"

"You’re forcing me," Xiao Lang said flatly, "The more I can’t have you, the less I can let go, what can I do? I have nothing; even if I die, no one would care."

Li Mingxi’s chest ached.

The words he spoke were what she hated to hear the most.

But she couldn’t bring herself to hate him; she was even more foolish than he was.

And he actually said it was because he was unwilling to let it go that he pestered her.

Was it really because of unwillingness?

Li Mingxi opened her eyes wide, refusing to let tears fall.

"I didn’t expect you to threaten me like this, do I really owe you something?"

"Yes, you owe me a heart. Li Mingxi, you’ve become my obsession. No matter how innocent you are, I won’t let you go."

Wasn’t he her obsession as well?

Li Mingxi calmed her emotions and asked softly, "Just be your lover for half a month, and you’ll let me go?"

Xiao Lang lowered his head slightly, his expression unclear.

"Yes, by then, I’ll let you go and let you choose freely."

"Keep your word."

"Ha, I’ve already been wretched enough, I won’t become more despicable."

"..."

Li Mingxi was silent for a long time, then nodded, "Okay, I agree. But you must promise not to interfere in my affairs."

Xiao Lang looked up, showing an indifferent negotiating expression, "I can agree, but starting today, move back to the apartment and live with me. Of course, if you want to live here, I won’t object."

Living here, the whole world would know she had something with Xiao Lang.

"I will move back."

"Move back tonight."

"Fine! Are you done? If so, I’ll leave now!"

Xiao Lang turned around, facing away from her, "Go ahead. Remember, you can’t let Li Qian touch you; you belong to me now."

Li Mingxi glared at his back angrily, wanting to slap him again.

She really wanted to curse.

She didn’t owe him anything, yet he threatened her like this, forcing her to agree to his unreasonable demands with a self-righteous expression.
