Fated to My Billionaire Husband

She had endured even greater storms, so she didn’t let this bring her down; instead, she continued to face life positively every day.

However, when no one was around, she would involuntarily zone out, or become sad for a moment, to release the emotions that were about to overflow from her heart.

Yet, no matter how strong she appeared, everyone could still see her distress.

It was very obvious—she had lost weight, and her appetite was poor.

...

Li Mingxi quickly finished her work and was about to leave when she received a call from Wen Ning.

Seeing that it was Wen Ning calling, Li Mingxi was a bit surprised.

Why was she calling?

After their conversation that day, she didn’t think she and Wen Ning could remain friends without any barriers.

While thinking, Li Mingxi answered the phone.

”Hello, this is Li Mingxi.”

”Sister Mingxi, can I invite you to dinner? I genuinely want to treat you to a meal and hope you’ll oblige.”

Li Mingxi could sense that Wen Ning intended to make peace with her.

Out of respect for Wen Peng, Li Mingxi agreed.

About ten minutes later, Li Mingxi arrived at the restaurant Wen Ning had mentioned.

The waiter led her to the table, and Li Mingxi sat down across from Wen Ning, directly saying, ”I have something to do later, so I may not be able to spend much time with you.”

Wen Ning gave a sincere smile, ”It’s okay, let’s order food first.”

Li Mingxi casually ordered two dishes, and the rest were ordered by Wen Ning.

The food soon arrived, and Li Mingxi picked up her chopsticks to start eating, but unfortunately, she lost her appetite after the first bite.

”Sister Mingxi, I’m sorry, I was too impulsive that day...” Wen Ning raised a glass of wine towards her and sincerely apologized.

”To make amends, I’ll drink this glass as a self-punishment.”

After speaking, she drank the wine in one go.

Li Mingxi’s expression remained calm, ”Did you invite me here just to apologize? That’s unnecessary; you did nothing wrong, and I don’t hold a grudge against you, so you don’t need to apologize to me.”

”No... I was wrong.” Wen Ning lowered her head, tears already in her eyes, ”I thought you were seducing Brother Xiao, but now I know there’s nothing between you two. Sister Mingxi, I’m really sorry, I shouldn’t have been angry with you like that and misunderstood you.”

”It’s alright.” Li Mingxi’s tone was still indifferent.

Wen Ning looked up, trying hard to force a smile, ”I’m glad you don’t blame me. But, I was so angry back then because I was really afraid that you and Brother Xiao would end up together.

Because you two look so well-matched, like a pair made in heaven. Every time I saw you together, I felt both envious and jealous...

But now I know that Brother Xiao’s true love is a woman named Lin Youyou. But she isn’t as beautiful as you, Sister Mingxi...”

Li Mingxi’s gaze towards Wen Ning grew even colder.

She knew Wen Ning was not simple, otherwise, she wouldn’t have started gradually taking over the family business at such a young age.

Perhaps in a wealthy family, she herself was an outlier, thinking others were more or less like her.

Capable of being indifferent to many things, able to disdain using tricks and schemes.

But now she realized she was wrong.

Even someone as seemingly gentle and kind as Wen Ning could be cunning in every situation.

Other more formidable women were naturally even more extraordinary.

Li Mingxi suddenly regretted coming to meet Wen Ning.

She stood up, and with a cold look at Wen Ning, said, ”I don’t see anything wrong with Xiao Lang choosing Lin Youyou. On the contrary, I wish him well, and hope he truly found his soulmate.
