Li Jingran’s hand that was holding the clothes gradually tightened as he strode to the car.
The car drove slowly. Xu Wanwan tilted her head and looked out of the window. Her indifferent expression was full of loneliness.
It seemed that it was easier to part in this season.
Her mind was in a mess. She still remembered that the first time she saw Li Jingran was on a slightly cold rainy day.
A few months had passed in the blink of an eye, and it seemed like it was time for her to leave.
After all, she could not stop him from being with a better person.
Li Jingran’s emotions were extremely heavy. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Xu Wanwan froze for a few seconds. She turned around and looked at the man. She forced a smile and said, “I’m not.”
Li Jingran’s eyes were scrutinizing her. He looked her up and down before his gaze finally landed on her neck. He frowned fiercely.
The girl’s fair and tender skin had marks from a knife, and the faint red color was stained with a trace of blood.
He slowly reached out his hand, wanting to examine her wound.
Xu Wanwan did not wait for the man to approach her. She suddenly moved to the side, her entire body filled with resistance.
Li Jingran’s hand froze in mid-air again. He furrowed his brows and asked coldly, “How did you get that on your neck?”
“Taccidentally hit it,” Xu Wanwan tilted her head and said in a low voice.
Li Jingran narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Hit it?”
It was just a meal outside. Not only did she not let him touch it, but she was also injured. Something must have happened.
Xu Wanwan took a light breath and just wanted to hide it from the man. “Yes! I hit it. It’s nothing serious.”
Li Jingran knew that she didn’t want to tell him. If he continued to ask, she might not tell him the truth.
When they reached home, Xu Wanwan ran as fast as she could and trotted into the house.
Li Jingran opened the car window and looked at the girl’s back as she ran away in a hurry. He frowned tightly.
‘The Butler got out of the car and reminded him, “Director Li, we’re here.”
Li Jingran held the car window and lit a cigarette.
The curling smoke was blown away by the wind. He narrowed his long and narrow eyes and said in a low voice, “Find out who Xu Wanwan met today.”
Why did she seem like a different person when she came back? There was something fishy about this.
‘The Butler rarely saw Li Jingran smoking, so he also realized the seriousness of the matter. He said cautiously, “Yes, I’ll go and find out as soon as possible.”
‘The next day.
Xu Wanwan asked Lin Jianan for help during roll call and skipped class for the whole day.
She simply packed her things. She only packed a few clothes and important items. She dragged her suitcase and stood at the door, staring at the room.
After all, she had stayed for a few months, so she had some feelings.
She did not bring any luxury items from the cloakroom. She also initialized the computer that Li Jingran had given her and put it on the table.
She did not pack anything that was related to Li Jingran.
After wandering around for a few minutes, Xu Wanwan tried her best to smile and dragged her luggage out of the room.
Hopefully, after leaving this place, she would be able to welcome her new life better!
‘When she walked into the hall, she saw that Auntie Zhang was busy preparing breakfast. Xu Wanwan stopped in her tracks.
Auntie Zhang also saw her. When she saw that she was dragging big and small bags, she asked in surprise, “Miss Xu, where are you going?”
“Aunt Zhang…” Xu Wanwan paused and said slowly, “I won’t be staying in the Li family from now on. Take care.”
Aunt Zhang was dazed. “Miss Xu, I’m old. Don’t joke with me.”
Even Aunt Zhang couldn’t believe it. Xu Wanwan was living perfectly fine. Why would she suddenly leave?
“Lwant to live outside.” Xu Wanwan’s expression didn’t change. After she said that calmly, she pushed the suitcase and turned around.
Just as she was about to leave, a series of hurried footsteps came from upstairs. The man’s voice was even deeper than usual, and it was cold. “Where are you going?”
The voice was like a rope, and it stopped her from moving forward.
Xu Wanwan paused.
She remembered that Li Jingran was going to work today, but why didn’t he go today?
She turned around, and the smile on her face was a little stiff. “Well, I won’t be living in the Li family from now on.”
Li Jingran’s mood suddenly turned cold. He looked at the bags that the girl had packed and said unhappily, “Where I am is no good for you?”
He still remembered that she was the one who had begged him to stay.
She had said more than once that she was afraid that he would kick her out.
But he had never had such thoughts. In order to make the girl feel safe, he had never mistreated her.
Xu Wanwan looked at the man’s serious face, and her nose suddenly felt a little sour. The past scenes played in her mind like a movie.
Her voice was a little dry, and she tried hard not to cry. “No, you’re very good to me, but I think I want a change of scenery now.”
She did not want to blame Li Jingran for her departure, because he had been good enough to her.
She couldn’t make things difficult for him.
Li Jingran frowned and walked toward Xu Wanwan step by step. The emotions in his deep eyes were hard to read.
Xu Wanwan raised her eyes and looked at the man.
Her eyes were still the same as before. There was no desire in them, and they were clean and clear without any impurities.
She just looked at him quietly.
Li Jing suddenly compromised again. He said in a depressed tone, “If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
“If you’re not used to living at home, I’ll get someone to redecorate the house.”
Xu Wanwan turned her head and pretended to be willful. “No, I just don’t want to live here anymore!”
“I’m tired of living here. I want to move to another place, okay?”
Her tone was urgent, and her voice was raised by more than one degree.
This was also the first time she had talked to a man with a red face since she came to the Li family home.
When the Butler who had just come down from upstairs heard this, he could not help but be stunned.
This Miss Xu usually looked docile and obedient like a cat. Why was she so angry today?
Li Jingran’s patience shortened. In a deep voice, he said, “This is the last time I’ll ask you. When did I do anything that you’re not satisfied with? Why are you so insistent on leaving?”
As he said this, his face tensed up and his thin lips straightened. It was rare for him to feel a hint of nervousness.
“Tm just not satisfied with you. There’s no reason for it.”
Xu Wanwan looked up at the man with a cold expression, as if she had made up her mind. “I must leave this place today.”
Li Jingran felt a breath stuck in his throat. His voice was extremely deep. “Okay, then go!”
‘These words were almost said through gritted teeth.
Xu Wanwan was startled. She dragged her suitcase and turned around stubbornly, walking out of the villa.
Li Jingran clenched his fists tightly. Looking at her decisive and spontaneous back view, he felt particularly resentful.
The Butler saw this scene and quickly chased after her. “Director Li, Miss Xu has left. Do you need me to chase her back?”
Everyone in the family could tell that Li Jingran’s attitude toward Xu Wanwan was not ordinary.
LiJingran stared at the place where the lady had left and growled, “Let her go!”
Wasn’t he going to throw a tantrum with him?
He’ll let her have it!
“No one is allowed to bring her back without my permission.”
The Butler: ”
