Chapter 177: It’s Impossible Between Us
Xu Wanwan hesitated for a moment before getting into the man’s car.
She turned to look at him. “How do you know that I’m in a bad mood?”
Li Xuyi’s lips curled up slightly. “I know everything.”
In a place that Xu Wanwan could not see, his eyes darkened.
Of course, he knew that she was in a bad mood.
Mother Li had just finished talking to her and asked her to leave Li Jingran. He was well aware of these things.
Based on Xu Wanwan’s attitude toward Li Jingran, even if she was sad, it was understandable.
However, he would spend time with her to help her get over her sadness as soon as possible.
Whatever Li Jingran could give her, he could give her as well.
Xu Wanwan turned her head away. “Don’t bluff me. Why are you looking for me?”
Her tone was not very good because she had a lot of things on her mind, and she was not in the mood to joke with him.
Li Xuyi glanced at her and said unhurriedly, “Can’t I look for you even if there’s nothing?”
“I’ve been in a bad mood recently. I don’t want to waste my time doing meaningless things.”
Li Xuyi asked despite knowing the answer, “Why are you in a bad mood?”
“Because—”
Xu Wanwan almost said what was on her mind. When she came back to her senses, she just shook her head lightly. “It’s nothing.”
Actually, it was nothing much. There were no obstacles in life that she could not overcome. She just had not gotten over it yet.
Xu Wanwan had always comforted herself like this.
That’s why she did not want to show her weakness to others.
When she was frustrated, she could not lose her composure.
Li Xuyi teased, “Let me guess. Did you quarrel with my brother?”
Xu Wanwan was stunned, but her expression did not change. She just looked out the window at the scenery that was rapidly retreating and did not say a word.
“I told you that my brother has a bad temper. He’s busy with work all day long. He doesn’t know how to feel at all. You won’t be happy with him.”
“Now that you’ve quarreled, you should understand what I told you before, right?”
Seeing that Li Xuyi was about to continue, Xu Wanwan could not help but interrupt him. “Your brother is very good to me. Please don’t say anymore.”
She was not someone who did not know what was good for her. During the time she spent with Li Jingran, she could tell everyone with her conscience that this man had not mistreated her in the slightest.
Even if they were to be separated in the future, she would not slander him in the slightest.
Li Xuyi’s face darkened. “What’s so good about my brother? Don’t you know that a man like him is not loyal at all? He might be good to you today and good to others tomorrow.”
“If he really treats you well, why are you still unhappy?”
Xu Wanwan was a little angry. “Everyone has feelings, right? What does my unhappiness have to do with Li Jingran?”
“It’s enough that I know in my heart that he’s good. Why do you have to say that he’s not good?”
She could accept others saying that she was not good, but not Li Jingran.
Li Xuyi said coldly, “You’ve really been mesmerized by him.”
He rarely saw Xu Wanwan blush. Most of the time, she was calm and gentle.
But when it came to Li Jingran’s matter, she seemed to have changed into a different person. She even started to reason with him.
Xu Wanwan was frustrated and looked away. “Sorry, I don’t want to go anywhere today. Please stop the car by the side of the road.”
Li Xuyi’s face was dark. He acted as if he did not hear what she said and kept driving.
Xu Wanwan took a deep breath and repeated, “I want to get out of the car.”
“You just stayed with me for a while and you want to leave?”
Li Xuyi held the steering wheel tightly with both hands and tried his best to suppress the unhappiness in his heart. “You’re in such a hurry to leave. Do you want to find my brother?”
“No, I want to be alone.”
“Is that so?”
Li Xuyi slowly stopped the car. “Xu Wanwan, I have something to tell you.”
Xu Wanwan’s hand that was about to open the car door paused, but she did not turn back. “Go ahead.”
The atmosphere in the car became silent.
Li Xuyi took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. Finally, he said, “Do you want to be with me?”
Xu Wanwan turned around in surprise. “What are you talking about?”
“I’m talking—”
Li Xuyi paused for a few seconds and looked serious for once. “Do you want to be with me?”
“No!”
Xu Wanwan didn’t think much of it and immediately rejected him. “I’ve always treated you as a friend and never had any other thoughts about you.”
Moreover, he was Li Jingran’s younger brother. How could she betray Li Jingran?
Li Xuyi’s expression froze. Then, he turned his head to hide the unwillingness in his eyes.
He licked the corner of his lips and his voice was a little hoarse. “Are you so determined to reject me?”
Xu Wanwan’s tone was firm. “It’s impossible between us.”
“Ha, why is it impossible?” Li Xuyi smirked mockingly. “It’s impossible between you and my brother!”
“My Mother should have gone to look for you, right? She should have told you that my Brother would never marry a woman without a family background.”
Xu Wanwan’s eyes froze as she looked at Li Xuyi in disbelief.
He actually know all these things?
Li Xuyi looked at the end of the road and frowned. “Xu Wanwan, you clearly know that it’s impossible for you to be with my Brother. Why can’t you choose me?”
How was he inferior to Li Jingran that she would reject him without hesitation?
Xu Wanwan was silent for a long time before she said, “I don’t like you. No matter who I’m with in the future, I won’t consider you.”
After she said that, she seemed to feel a little heavy and frowned slightly.
She rarely rejected others ruthlessly, and she was not good at making others feel sad.
But at this moment, she should be more ruthless.
“I’m not saying that you’re not good. It’s just that I can’t explain things like relationships. I treat you as my friend, that’s all.”
Li Xuyi’s body suddenly sank. His shoulders leaned weakly against the back of the chair. He smiled coldly but did not say anything.
He looked deeply at Xu Wanwan and compromised, “Give me some more time and try to understand me. You’ll like me.”
Xu Wanwan looked at the stubborn person in front of her and did not know how to tell him that relationships were not something that could be achieved through hard work.
She did not want to continue pestering him. “You should give up on this idea. Let’s continue to be friends.”
“As for anything else, I won’t consider it.”
After she said that, she quickly opened the car door and got out of the car.
At that moment, a taxi just happened to pass by. The driver rolled down the window and stuck his head out to ask, “Beauty, where are you going?”
Xu Wanwan did not hesitate and got into the taxi.
Sitting in the taxi, she suddenly did not know where to go.
Xu Yuchu should have already had his dinner by now. She was in a bad mood today. What if she brought negative emotions to him when she went back?
But if she did not go home, where else could she go?
“Miss, where are you going?”
The taxi asked again. Xu Wanwan could not make up her mind at that moment. She asked tentatively, “Mister, I’m in a bad mood. Where can I go?”
