Fated to My Billionaire Husband-Chapter 2037: Her Eyes Are So Bright

Chapter 2037: Chapter 2037: Her Eyes Are So Bright
Xiao Lang looked at the smile on her face, and all his exhaustion melted away.
She had that magical power, able to pass optimism and enthusiasm to everyone around her.
Every time he saw her, it was like he saw sunshine.
And now this ray of sunshine belonged to him alone; he could have her for a lifetime.
Xiao Lang gazed intently at Li Mingxi, whose face turned slightly red: "You go catch some fish, I’ll collect some twigs."
Xiao Lang came back to his senses, he laughed: "Don’t go too far, stay nearby, don’t leave my sight."
"Okay." Li Mingxi smiled sweetly, she settled the little girl and went to pick up some twigs.
Xiao Lang went down to the river to catch fish, he used only his hands, and with swift, fierce precision, tossed several fish to the shore in no time.
Li Mingxi also gathered a lot of twigs suitable for burning.
She was a doctor, the best at dissecting; she helped with the fish, and soon had several fish gutted and cleaned.
The little girl sat on a stone all the while, her bright black eyes fixed on their movements.
Li Mingxi turned to look at her, and said to Xiao Lang with surprise: "Did you notice how bright and beautiful her eyes are? I’ve never seen anyone with eyes as pretty as hers in my life."
Xiao Lang gradually walked up the shore, looked at the little girl, and she instantly lowered her head in fear, turning away.
Li Mingxi’s words seemed to have scared her, or perhaps she was afraid of Xiao Lang.
In any case, she was clearly not alright.
Yet, after all, she’s just a child; what could a child possibly do?
Xiao Lang climbed ashore and lit the fire using a special method, and when the bonfire was blazing, he skewered the fish on twigs and slowly grilled them over the flames.
Li Mingxi sat next to him and softly asked, "I wonder when they’ll find us."
"It should be soon. They’ll act at night, notice we’re missing, and will definitely track us by the signal." Xiao Lang said in a low, steady voice.
Li Mingxi was a bit worried: "What if the signal from the tracker is bad?"
"It shouldn’t be, this tracker is very advanced. Of course, signal issues can’t be ruled out entirely, but there won’t be no signal at all; as long as there’s a bit, they can find us."
Upon hearing this, Li Mingxi felt much reassured.
She hugged her knees, with the firelight reflecting on her face, making her features appear even more radiant.
Xiao Lang asked her softly, "Are you homesick?"
"A little." Li Mingxi said honestly. She wanted to go back soon, so she could comfortably be with Xiao Lang once they returned.
Suddenly, Xiao Lang reached and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, Li Mingxi leaned against him, naturally hugging his body.
Xiao Lang tightened his arm, realizing that he might like her even more than he initially thought.
The fish was soon done, and each of them ate two fish, just enough to fill their stomachs.
After eating, Li Mingxi took the little girl to the river to wash their hands.
Xiao Lang went nearby to gather twigs; they were to spend the night here, so it was necessary to stock up on ample firewood.
"Sweetie, tonight you’ll sleep close to Auntie, okay?" Li Mingxi said to the little girl while washing her hands.
The little girl glanced at her, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and Li Mingxi assumed her agreement.
After washing her face and hands, she held her hand and walked back.
Xiao Lang also returned with the twigs, carrying a large bundle of them, smiling as he approached them.
