Chapter 183: How Are You Going to Make It Up to Me?
“Your family is so well-off, but I’m from a poor family with no background. Why should I be with you?”
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. “It’s not that I don’t want to be with you, but we’re just not suitable. Things that are forced aren’t sweet at all.”
As she spoke, she desperately wanted to push the man away and escape his restraint.
This little bit of strength was nothing more than a tickle to Li Jingran. He even increased his strength and pressed the girl firmly onto the bed. His voice was extremely deep. “If there’s a problem, we’ll solve it rather than drinking to escape.”
“How do we solve it? Your Mother——”
Xu Wanwan almost told the truth. After she reacted, she shut her mouth again and refused to say anything.
“I know they said terrible things to you.”
Li Jingran’s attitude still softened. He gradually let go of the girl. “But you should have told me, believed in me to settle everything.”
“Have you ever thought about the consequences you’ll have to bear if you’ve really fallen into the wrong hands today?”
When he reached the end of his sentence, Li Jingran’s tone was obviously much harsher.
Xu Wanwan listened to what he said seriously and still felt that it made a lot of sense.
Seeing that the lady was listening to him, Li Jingran said slowly, “In the face of a relationship problem, you would rather push me away than solve the problem and be with me properly?”
Xu Wanwan was rendered speechless by his words.
She also felt a little guilty.
It seemed to be true. Every time she encountered a problem, she would always avoid it.
Under Li Jingran’s repeated serious teachings, Xu Wanwan finally lost.
She lowered her head. “Don’t be angry. I’ll make it up to you, okay?”
“How will you make it up to me?”
She thought for a moment and said with a red face, “I’ll hug you to sleep.”
Li Jingran’s expression was still very serious. “Sleep naked.”
Xu Wanwan: “…”
Without waiting for her to refuse, the man directly stuffed her under the blanket and reached out to remove the clothes on her body…
——
“Directo Li, Zhao Zixuan was later sent to the hospital. After treatment, his hand has almost recovered.”
“Do you need someone to do it again?”
The Butler was standing in the living room and reporting Zhao Zixuan’s situation to Li Jingran with a serious face.
Xu Wanwan, who was lying on the man’s leg watching TV, could not help but sit up when she heard this. “Butler, what did you say?”
“Nothing… nothing.”
Without Li Jingran’s order, he would not dare to tell Xu Wanwan what had happened that night.
“No! You must be hiding something from me!”
Seeing that the Butler refused to tell her, Xu Wanwan turned to look at Li Jingran and asked seriously, “Can you tell me?”
Li Jingran’s eyes darkened slightly. He rubbed the girl’s hair and said, “He did something outrageous to you that night. I just asked someone to punish him a little.”
“A little punishment?”
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips and repeated in disbelief, “Is it really just a little punishment?”
Li Jingran’s eyes darkened. “Of course.”
He didn’t lie to her. If it weren’t for the fact that he was afraid of scaring her, he would have tortured Zhao Zixuan so much that he would never dare to appear in front of him again.
However, things were different now. Xu Wanwan was an innocent and cute girl. If he had gone too far, this girl would definitely be afraid.
However, Xu Wanwan did not say anything this time. She said angrily, “That’s fine. He should be punished for what he did to me when I was drunk.”
When Xu Wanwan thought of this, she could not get over that hurdle in her heart.
She had already broken off the engagement with him, but he was like a dog skin plaster that could not be shaken off.
The most outrageous thing was that the things he had done could really make people feel disgusted.
Xu Wanwan was so angry that she wasn’t in the mood to watch TV anymore. She simply went upstairs to study.
After she left, Li Jingran’s expression returned to a cold one. “How’s the Zhao Corporation?”
“According to what we know, the Zhao group’s stock dropped by three points. Zhao Zixuan was also forced to withdraw from school. The Zhao family has appeared at the Li family’s house many times. They must be asking for leniency.”
Li Jingran said coldly, “Chase them away.”
“Yes…”
In the afternoon, Xu Wanwan was tired from reading. She tilted her head and fell asleep at Li Jingran’s desk.
Since she was afraid of the thunder last time, Li Jingran had moved all her school supplies into his study room.
Xu Wanwan didn’t come here often, but she had to find the things she needed this time, so she decided to study here.
She lay on the desk and slept soundly, probably because she hadn’t had a good rest in the past few days. Now that she was asleep, she didn’t realize that the door of the study room had been opened.
Li Jingran pushed the door open and entered. Looking at the girl who was sleeping peacefully on the table, he could not help but shake his head. However, he still brought her a coat.
He sat quietly beside her, reading a book and looking up at her from time to time.
She was just lying there with a faint blush on her small face. Her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, and her nose bridge was high. She was so beautiful that it made one’s heart ache.
Li Jingran was not in the mood to deal with work. He put the documents aside and slowly raised his hand. Just as he was about to touch the girl’s cheek, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
His eyes darkened. He glanced at the sleeping girl, picked up the phone, and walked outside to answer the call.
Father Li ordered sternly on the other end of the phone, “Go to Huacheng Hotel right now. The Li Group is taking on a very important project. Go there yourself.”
Li Jingran stood in front of the French window with his phone in his hand. He looked at the night sky and said unhappily, “What project do you need me to discuss personally?”
“Brat, why are you talking so much nonsense? Just go if I tell you to.”
Father Li said in a deep voice on the other end of the phone, “I’m warning you. If you want to bring Xu Wanwan to the old residence, you’d better do as we say.”
Li Jingran was helpless and frowned. “Got it.”
When Xu Wanwan woke up, it was already dark.
She rubbed her hazy eyes and yawned as she got up.
The house was empty. Her coat fell to the ground. She picked it up and opened the door to go downstairs.
Aunt Zhang saw her coming down and said with a smile, “Miss Xu, dinner is ready.”
“Where’s Jingran?” She subconsciously looked around the room but didn’t see Li Jingran.
“Director Li just went out. He seems to be discussing an important collaboration.”
Aunt Zhang said, “By the way, Director Li said to let you eat first. There’s no need to wait for him.”
Xu Wanwan nodded and muttered, “Won’t he come back tonight?”
“Director Li didn’t say when he left, but he probably won’t come back at this time.”
Xu Wanwan was a little disappointed and finished her dinner gloomily.
She always felt empty in her heart, but she couldn’t explain why.
Could it be that she liked Li Jingran so much that she couldn’t even bear such a short separation?
But he had often left in the past, and she didn’t feel this way.
Xu Wanwan sighed lightly and let her imagination run wild.
Could it be that now they have finally reconciled, her heart had become more dependent on him?
