Xu Wanwan bit her lower lip and said firmly, “I’ve already taken so many steps forward. I don’t want to give up easily.”
At that time, she had accepted a master to help Li Jingran. Now that she had been successfully accepted by her Master, she couldn’t give up even more.
Li Jingran’s eyes darkened. Seeing that the lady insisted, he finally compromised. “Well, try your best.”
Xu Wanwan’s eyes lit up again. “Although I don’t have much experience, I believe that as long as I work hard, there will definitely be a good result.”
As long as she could help Li Jingran, she was willing to spend time and effort to grind it.
Moreover, she felt that hope was right in front of her. She just needed to persevere a little longer.
Secretary Lin could not help but say, “Director Li, it’s a good thing that Miss Xu wants to help. However, if Sister Zhou is one step ahead of us, all our efforts will be in vain.”
Li Jingran looked at her coldly. “It’s already decided. You can go down and inform them.” Secretary Lin left resentfully.
Only Li Jingran knew that if she did not insist on fighting for this project, all of Xu Wanwan’s previous efforts would be in vain.
Compared to the immediate benefits of the Li Corporation, he did not want to see her disappointed.
Xu Wanwan stood there in a daze for a while, then she suddenly remembered her purpose of coming here.
She seemed to be looking for the man to inquire about something last night…
“Let’s go eat,” Li Jingran stood up and said calmly.
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips and followed him slowly.
The table was full of her favorite food, but she had little appetite.
Seeing that she was not eating much, Li Jingran noticed that she was not in a good mood and asked in a deep voice, “Why are you absent-minded?”
Xu Wanwan was stunned and almost dropped her chopsticks on the ground. She took a while to recover. “Um… I want to know how I got back last night.”
“You fell asleep on the bike last night. I carried you back to your room.”
Li Jingran deliberately paused and looked at Xu Wanwan with raised eyebrows. “How do you think you got back?”
Xu Wanwan was irritated by his burning gaze. She frowned. “Then how come my clothes changed too?”
She was still a little afraid. No matter what, she was still a girl who had never been with a man. If she was seen naked, she would feel a little ashamed.
Li Jingran guessed that she would ask this question and wanted to see how she would react. He deliberately said, “I changed it.”
“You changed me!?”
Xu Wanwan cried out in surprise. Her face was full of disbelief, from her neck to her cheeks. Li Jingran was indeed tickled by her reaction. He held back his laughter. “Is there a problem?”
“Of course, there’s a problem!”
Xu Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief, “No matter what, I’m still a girl. How could you do such a thing without my consent?”
“Even though you’re very good to me, you can’t do this!”
The more she spoke, the more anxious she became. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her little face was flushed.
Li Jingran saw that her reaction was so intense, so he became serious. “In your heart, am I a villain who takes advantage of others?”
Xu Wanwan held back her tears. “But didn’t you…”
She was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so she could only lower her head and remain silent.
Li Jingran got up and took a tissue to the girl.
He half-squatted on the ground and gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with the tissue. “Your clothes were changed by Auntie Zhang.”
Xu Wanwan’s stomach full of grievances suddenly stopped. Her voice was a little hoarse.
“Really?”
Li Jingran simply asked someone to call Auntie Zhang over.
After Auntie Zhang heard what happened, she could not help but pat her thigh and said with a
smile, “Miss Xu, you really misunderstood Director Li.”
“Director Li is such a gentleman, how could he do such a thing to you?”
Xu Wanwan rubbed her eyes, and her mood finally eased up.
She looked at the innocent man beside her gloomily and said in a muffled voice, “Why did you lie to me?”
“It’s interesting.”
Xu Wanwan looked very serious. “How is it interesting? I was almost scared to death.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of person,” Li Jingran said seriously.
Xu Wanwan was convinced when she saw that he was finally serious.
He must be an upright person. After all, she had been in the same room with him so many times.
After breakfast, Xu Wanwan went upstairs to pack her bag and went to school.
She had specially brought the painting that Master Nanshan had given her to the classroom today and was ready to give it to Lin Jianan.
“Wanwan, what’s that in your hand?”
Lin Jianan saw Xu Wanwan walking over from afar and hurriedly went up to her and asked, “Is this Master Nanshan’s painting?”
Seeing that she had guessed it, Xu Wanwan smiled and said, “Yes, this is a painting personally drawn by Master. I especially picked out a landscape painting. I think your father will like it.”
A hint of surprise flashed through Lin Jianan’s eyes as she hugged Xu Wanwan.
“Wanwan, you’re really amazing!”
“Master Nanshan’s painting is so hard to get. How did you do it?”
Xu Wanwan handed the painting to her and said calmly, “I asked Master if he was selling the paintings, and then he said he would give me one.”
“I didn’t decline, so I accepted it.” Lin Jianan was shocked. “Wanwan, is Master Nanshan very good to you?”
“Yes… Master is indeed good to me.”
Other than the incident at dinner that night, Master treated her very well.
Lin Jianan held the landscape painting happily and pulled Xu Wanwan for a chat.
In the end, she said excitedly, “My Dad’s birthday is tomorrow. When he receives this gift, he will definitely be very happy.”
Xu Wanwan suddenly thought of something. “Oh right, Mr. Li has agreed to go with me to your Father’s birthday party.”
“What does your Father like? We haven’t prepared a gift for him yet.”
Since it was a birthday party for a friend’s father, it was necessary to give him a gift.
“Wanwan, you’ve already helped me so much, how can I accept your gift?”
Lin Jianan said, “I should give you some money. After all, this painting is so valuable… I’ll tell Dad later that this is a gift from you!”
Xu Wanwan frowned. “This is what I promised to help you with. I don’t need money.”
“Then I’m sorry. If this painting were to be sold, it would be worth tens of millions.”
Xu Wanwan just smiled faintly. “It’s really fine. Besides, how can our relationship be measured by money?”
Lin Jianan was very touched after hearing that. “Wanwan, you’re so nice! It’s my good fortune to have a friend like you.”
“You’re also very nice. Friends can only go far if they help each other.”
“Are you being hypocritical?”
A sudden voice broke the harmonious atmosphere.
The student council walked over and said disdainfully, “Lin Jianan, do you really think that the Class Monitor is willing to give you a painting worth tens of millions?”
“The students in class had previously asked her to ask Master Nanshan for a painting, but she refused no matter What. Now, how could she possibly give you such an expensive painting?”
