Chapter 2940: Heading to the Civil Affairs Bureau

“I’ve got something to give you, in the car. You get in first.” Xiao Lang pulled open the car door and said to her.

Li Mingxi got in, and Xiao Lang got in from the other side and sat down too.

“What are you giving me?” Li Mingxi asked suspiciously.

Xiao Lang suddenly pulled her toward him and pressed his lips to hers.

He held the back of her head, his tongue sliding into her mouth, kissing her gently, hotly, domineeringly, his lips and tongue tangling with hers.

Li Mingxi pushed at him a few times but couldn’t move him, so she let him be. Gradually, she sank into his kiss too.

After a long while, Xiao Lang let her go, then leaned in and kissed her pink cheek again.

“Tomorrow be good and stay home waiting for me. Wait for me to take you to get married, got it?” he reminded her, still uneasy.

Tomorrow, they were really getting married?

Li Mingxi had always thought she’d never get married in her life, that marriage was something far, far away from her.

But tomorrow she was going to be married…

Seeing her not answer, Xiao Lang got a little anxious: “It’s already come to this, and you still don’t want to marry me?”

Li Mingxi tried tentatively, “How about… we try a trial marriage first.”

“Don’t even think about it!” Xiao Lang rejected her with a dark face. “Tomorrow you have to go register. If you don’t go, I’ll haul you there! And don’t think about running away, Mom already promised me she’ll help keep an eye on you!”

Looks like she really had no way out now.

Li Mingxi nodded helplessly. “I know.”

Xiao Lang broke into a smile, and he couldn’t help but lean in and kiss her lips again.

“Alright, get out of the car. I’ve gotta go too. I’ll come pick you up first thing tomorrow morning.”

“Didn’t you say you had something to give me…”

Xiao Lang covered her lips again, giving her a solid kiss. He chuckled, “That’s it.”

Li Mingxi pushed him away in shy annoyance. “If I’d known, I wouldn’t have gotten in!”

“You don’t like it?”

Li Mingxi refused to answer that. She opened the door, got out, and slammed it shut with a bang.

“Drive safe.” Li Mingxi still couldn’t help reminding him.

Xiao Lang nodded, waved at her, then drove off.

Li Mingxi turned around and saw Li Mingchen leaning against the front door. She jumped in fright.

Li Mingchen must have just gotten back. He stared at her with a half-smile. “So cheesy.”

Li Mingxi grabbed a shoe and hurled it hard at him—

…

She slept great that night.

The next day, before it was even light out, Li Mingxi got up.

She deliberately picked something a bit more formal to change into. She didn’t put on any makeup, just pinned up her hair and that was that.

Xiao Lang came very early too. By the time he called her, Li Mingxi was already ready.

At this hour, no one in the family was up yet.

Looking wide awake, Li Mingxi opened the door and went out, seeing Xiao Lang’s car parked at the gate.

She pulled open the car door and got in, only to find Xiao Lang dressed as formally as a groom. She’d thought she was already formal enough, but apparently he’d taken it even further.

Li Mingxi laughed. “Why’d you come so early? The civil affairs bureau isn’t even open yet. If we go now, we’ll just be sitting there waiting.”

She only teased him about it, but really, hadn’t she also gotten up super early to get ready.

Xiao Lang laughed. “I know. I just wanted to take you out for breakfast. Once we’re done eating, the timing should be just about right.”

“Then let’s go.” Li Mingxi pulled the seatbelt over and buckled it.

Xiao Lang took her to a breakfast place, and once they’d eaten, they headed straight to the civil affairs bureau.

At that time, the civil affairs bureau still wasn’t open, and there wasn’t a single person there.

Xiao Lang figured that today they’d probably be the first couple to register their marriage.
