When Li Jingran heard the girl’s soft tone, his mood suddenly improved. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. “Anything is fine.”

“Then what time will you come over?”Xu Wanwan asked tentatively. “So that I can prepare in advance.”

Li Jingran had already stood up and picked up the coat on the back of the chair. “Right away.”

The entire conference room watched their president leave in a daze, each and every one of them feeling relieved.

It seemed that they had finally escaped tonight and didn’t have to work overtime.

It only took Li Jingran twenty minutes to drive to the vicinity of No. 1 High School.

When he entered the room, Xu Wanwan happened to walk out of the kitchen with the dishes in her hands. She was wearing an apron, and her low ponytail looked particularly gentle.

The corners of the girl’s lips curved slightly, and she smiled exceptionally sweetly, just like before. “You’re here?”

All the fatigue in her body was dispelled at this moment.

Li Jingran’s expression softened a little as he took off his coat and walked inside.

Xu Yuchu watched the two of them interact and silently returned to the room.

Xu Wanwan placed the dishes on the dining table, wiped her hands on the apron, and looked up at the man. “Well, it’ll take a while before we can start eating. Why Don’t you go sit on the sofa for a while?”

Li Jingran stared at her with a burning gaze. “No need.”

He pulled out the chair behind him and sat in the dining room, quietly watching Xu Wanwan Cook.

The lights in the small kitchen were dim, and the sound of pots and pans could be heard from time to time. Xu Wanwan’s busy figure shuttled back and forth in the kitchen. Li Jingran’s gaze followed the girl’s petite figure, and his eyes were gentle.

Half an hour later, Xu Wanwan came out with a plate of desserts and let out a sigh of relief. “Alright, we can start eating now.”

The three of them ate around the dining table, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

Xu Wanwan was probably feeling guilty, and she didn’t dare to look Li Jingran in the eye. She lowered her head and ate the entire time.

Although the dishes on the table were all her favorite, she lost her appetite after a few bites.

Because she had something on her mind.

In fact, she wanted to apologize to Li Jingran for asking him to come over for dinner today.

But during the meal, she had been mulling over it over and over again, but she still couldn’t open her mouth.

How could Li Jingran not see through her thoughts.

The sudden change in attitude showed that she was uneasy.

Why was she uneasy? He wanted to wait for her to say it in person.

After the meal, only Xu Yuchu was satisfied and full.

He could see that there was a strange feeling between the two of them. After eating, he took the initiative to say, “Sister, I still have homework to do. I’ll go back to my room first.”

After saying that, Xu Yuchu quickly returned to his room.

After Xu Wanwan finished cleaning up the dishes, she walked into the living room. Her footsteps paused slightly, but she still sat down next to Li Jingran.

The two of them were alone in a place, and they were very close to each other.

For a moment, Xu Wanwan did not know how to speak.

She could only drink water to ease the awkwardness. When she finished a glass of water, she happened to meet Li Jingran’s deep eyes.

“Um… Are You Thirsty?”

Li Jingran said faintly, “No.”

Xu Wanwan lowered her head, feeling a little defeated. Her hand holding the glass was slightly sweaty.

She drank a few more mouthfuls of water before she put down the cup and stole a glance at the man.

Coincidentally, Li Jingran’s gaze was also on her.

The moment their eyes met, the atmosphere around them became even stranger.

Li Jingran changed his sitting position and raised his eyebrows. “Something on your mind?”

How could he not see that something was wrong with her mood.

He kept staring at her.

He was waiting.

Waiting for her to give in to him.

Xu Wanwan pursed her lips silently. Her heart was conflicted for a long time before she finally exhaled slowly. “I was the one who misunderstood you about what happened that day. I’m sorry.”

“I didn’t investigate properly. You were indeed not the one who planted the bug. This matter has nothing to do with you.”

A mocking smile flashed across Li Jingran’s thin lips. “You Trust Me Now?”

“I’m sorry…”Xu Wanwan was in the wrong, so she could only lower her head. “I didn’t investigate properly and blamed you. I sincerely apologize to you.”

“It’s just an apology. I don’t accept it.”Li Jingran chuckled and slowly approached the girl beside him. “Aren’t you going to do something?”

“Do Something?”

Xu Wanwan was stunned. “You… What do you want?”

The man’s voice was extremely low, and there was an inexplicable charm in it. “I want you.”

Xu Wanwan panicked and avoided his gaze. She subconsciously shifted her position and distanced herself from him. “Director Li, please don’t make such a joke.”

Li Jingran saw her escape and panic, and his lips curled up in a good mood.

A moment later, he returned to his normal self, and he had a cold and arrogant look on his face. “It’s late. Let’s go home.”

Xu Wanwan sat still.

She looked up at the man and asked weakly, “Have you forgiven me?”

Li Jingran laughed. “What do you think?”

So what if he didn’t forgive her? Would he continue to cause trouble?

Xu Wanwan saw that the man’s expression was not as gloomy, so she felt a little relieved. Then, she got up and left with him.

When they returned to the Li residence, she took a shower as fast as she could. When she pushed the door open and went in, Li Jingran was not there.

Xu Wanwan’s mood instantly brightened. She ran to the bed and lay down before turning off the lights.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, the blanket beside her was suddenly lifted up, and a chill crept into her back.

She was so cold that she curled up.

In the next moment, she was surrounded by a warm energy.

Li Jingran wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. His thin lips were close to the girl’s ear, and his voice was low and hoarse. “Good night.”

How could Xu Wanwan still sleep? She was not sleepy at all and her entire body stiffened.

The fiery strength behind her was Li Jingran’s chest.

When she thought about how close she was to him, her face burned painfully.

If it was before, she would have been able to accept it.

But now, they were no longer in a relationship. It was fine if they slept on the same bed, but they were still hugging each other. What was this?

Xu Wanwan struggled a little reluctantly.

But the hands that were wrapped around her behind her became even stronger.

She was controlled so tightly that she could not move at all.

Later, she could not struggle anymore, so she simply closed her eyes. When she woke up, it was already early in the morning.

Li Jingran woke up earlier than her, so there was no one beside him.

Xu Wanwan rubbed her sleepy eyes. After getting out of bed and washing up, she recalled what happened last night and really wanted to have a good talk with Li Jingran.

She quickly went downstairs and happened to see the man sitting in the dining room reading the newspaper.

“I have something to talk to you about.”

Xu Wanwan sat opposite the man. Her small face was slightly gloomy, and she showed a serious look.

Li Jingran slowly put down the newspaper in his hand, looked up at the girl, and said indifferently, “What do you want to say?”

“We’re not lovers anymore, so you can’t touch me when you sleep in the future.”Xu Wanwan clenched her fists slightly, forcing herself to be very calm, “The contract doesn’t stipulate that you have to hug me to sleep, so you can’t do this in the future.”
