Xu Yue was beaten to the point that she was kneeling on the ground. She pounced on him repeatedly, crying as she tried to defend herself. “Dad, listen to my explanation. This matter —”
Before she could finish her sentence, Sun Yuelan off coldly. “Enough!”
“Ladmit that the Xu family has treated you well, but I didn’t expect you to be an ingrate that we don’t know well. To think that you would actually harm our family like this.”
“Get lost!”
Xu Yue was crying and unwilling to leave. She hugged Sun Yuelan’s pant leg.
“Get lost, don’t Let me see you again!”
‘The Xu family was furious and kicked Xu Yue away again.
Xu Yue fell to the ground and looked at Xu Wanwan with hatred in her eyes.
‘The entire ward was filled with Xu Yue’s sharp cries, which made people’s ears ring.
Xu Wanwan stood quietly in front of her, her expression extremely cold.
Li Jingran observed the girl’s emotions and said slowly, “Come home with me.”
After letting her leave, she had already encountered so many things after a few days. If she had really met with an accident, he would definitely not forgive himself.
Xu Wanwan stood where she was, unable to calm down for a long time. A bitter smile flashed across her lips.
Come home?
Where would she find a home?
‘The Xu family could not tolerate her. The Li family was not the place to return to. The only person she could rely on was herself.
She shook her head and broke free from the man’s embrace. She was so sensible that it made one’s heart ache.
“Thank you for helping me today, but I can’t go back with you.”
Li Jingran frowned. “Are you still worried about implicating me?”
Ever since he read the girl’s diary, he had truly understood her thoughts.
It turned out that she only wanted to leave him because she was afraid that she would make things difficult for him.
However, she did not say anything and forced herself to hold on.
Xu Wanwan stared at the white floor tiles in the hospital. “Your father is also in the hospital. You should go—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Li Jingran pressed on step by step and pressed her against the corner of the wall. He lifted her chin gently and said in a low voice, “My father’s illness has nothing to do with you. You just have to come home with me obediently.”
“How can it have nothing to do with me?” Xu Wanwan’s small face was flushed red. She had no choice but to meet the man’s burning gaze. “Your father just wants you to get married as soon as possible. He’s not wrong.”
“Then what did you do wrong? Why did you leave?”
“No one’s wrong.” Xu Wanwan’s long eyelashes drooped, hiding a trace of loneliness in her eyes. “There’s no point in dwelling on these things now.”
“Lwon’t go back with you.”
She wouldn’t give up the reason she insisted on so easily.
Now, just as before.
Even if it was the opposite of what she was thinking in her heart, she still wouldn’t compromise.
LiJingran stared at her with a gloomy look for a few seconds, and a playful smile suddenly appeared on his lips. “If Miss Xu doesn’t want to go back, then I can only take measures.”
Xu Wanwan looked at the man’s innocent smile and asked in confusion, “What are you going to do?”
Li Jingran still had a meaningful smile on his lips. He still didn’t say anything, but he suddenly approached the girl’s side profile and firmly held her hands together. His thin lips were only one millimeter away from touching her face.
Xu Wanwan’s heart raced, and a burning sensation spread from her neck to her brain.
She tried her best to turn her head away, and her voice couldn’t help but tremble. “Don’t be like this… We can talk things out.”
But what was he trying to do by being so close to her?
Xu Wanwan was a young girl in her prime. Although she wasn’t very familiar with love, she knew a lot about it.
If it were a normal relationship between a man and a woman, there would be no need to get so close to each other.
Seeing that the man who was suppressing her still had no intention of letting go, she forced out a sentence, “Calm down first, can we talk about this properly?”
LiJingran stared at her and curled his thin lips. “How do you want to talk about this properly?”
‘The two of them were standing in the corridor of the hospital. The nurses and patients’ family members who passed by often cast glances at them.
Xu Wanwan felt inexplicably flustered. She lowered her voice and said, “There’s a reason why I didn’t go home with you.”
“What reason?”
Li Jingran slowly let go of her hand and raised his eyebrows to look at the girl. “I don’t know what Miss Xu is unhappy with about me. I’ll change it later.”
Xu Wanwan pouted and said in a low voice, “I’m very unhappy with the way you are now.”
“Huh?”
“Let me go first. We can talk about it later,” Xu Wanwan insisted.
Li Jingran compromised again and chuckled.
She was the first person who dared to negotiate with him.
He slowly let go of the girl’s hand and said in a deep voice, “Is this okay?”
“Yes!” Xu Wanwan nodded. She looked into the man’s eyes and said seriously, “I just want to tell you that I can live well even if I don’t go back to the Li family. You don’t have to worry.”
“You have to go back with me.”
‘The man’s tone was straightforward. It sounded calm, but there was a hint of dignity in it.
Xu Wanwan frowned. “Why?”
“Because—”
Li Jingran deliberately paused, and his eyes suddenly became deep. “I don’t feel comfortable about you staying outside alone.”
“As a member of the Li family, I naturally won’t abandon you.”
Xu Wanwan looked at the man quietly and couldn’t help but be touched by his serious expression.
Was what he said true?
Just by asking herself this question, Xu Wanwan immediately dispelled the thoughts in her heart.
How could she be worthy of all of these?
Even if Li Jingran approved of her, she could never become a member of the Li family.
As if he could see the doubt in the girl’s eyes, Li Jingran said calmly, “Don’t doubt yourself, you deserve the best.”
Caught unguarded, fireworks seemed to explode inside Xu Wanwan’s heart.
Li Jingran didn’t say anything more. He took a step forward and directly held the girl’s hand. His voice was firm and full of strength. “Let’s go home.”
“If there are any problems, we’ll solve them one by one when we get home.”
Xu Wanwan followed the man in a daze. She had thought of stopping, but her heart was so in love with him.
After struggling for a few seconds, Xu Wanwan thought of the difficult days and suddenly felt relieved.
After parting with Li Jingran, she was not used to it at all.
Even if her life was busy, as soon as she stopped, she would still think of every minute and every second that she spent with Li Jingran.
These memories seemed to be engraved in her mind, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not forget them.
As soon as the two of them left, Zhao Zixuan chased after them.
He still had no idea what had happened outside the ward just now. He only knew that Xu Wanwan was going to leave with Li Jingran.
His desire to win flared up, and he just could not bear to see Xu Wanwan leave with another man.
“Wanwan, where are you going?”
Just as he was about to catch up to the two of them, Zhao Zixuan suddenly slowed down his footsteps and pretended to be a patient as gradually moved closer to Xu Wanwan.
Hearing this voice, Xu Wanwan immediately frowned.
She clenched her fists and glared at him fiercely.
“What are you still doing here?”
Zhao Zixuan looked at her expression and could not help but feel angry.
