“What do you mean? Xu Wenping! Even if 1 don’t like you, I’m the one who doesn’t like you. What right do you have to say that you don’t like me?”
Old Master Li was not anxious, but Li Junlan was the first to get anxious.
Xu Wenping was stunned.
Initially, he had been interested in Li Junlan because of her beauty and her easy-going personality. But now, it seemed that she wasn’t that easy-going.
Xu Wenping wasn’t a lecherous person, but at least he was a person with a bottom line. He couldn’t just be hot-faced and stick to Li Junlan’s cold butt.
Without waiting for Xu Wenping to reply, Old Master Li raised his eyebrows slightly. Then, he laughed, “Sit, sit, sit. Let’s sit down and eat first.”
Xu Wenping’s words also made Old Master Li a little unhappy. Although it was like what Li Junlan said, “I’m in a hurry to send my granddaughter away.” It was not the case, but after all, he was the one who begged for it. If Xu Wenping’s cold face fell on him, how could Old Master Li be happy?
Old Master Li was also a man with a big family and a big business. If the two of them really did not like it, he naturally would not deliberately mistreat their granddaughter.
However, looking at the expression in his granddaughter’s eyes, and then looking at Xu Wenping, there was a hint of helplessness in the depths of his eyes. This cunning old man had already seen through the love between a man and a woman.
“Aiya… After all, marriage is a matter that needs to be taken slowly! We can’t force it. Let’s get used to it. If it really can’t work, how can we force it?”
Xu Wenping’s mother could only feel helpless when she heard this.
Everyone ate their food in silence. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the old man put down his chopsticks first and stood up with a smile. “The two of you are quarreling, so you should talk alone. How about this? 1’11 watch the two of you enter the house first. If after tonight, you guys still insist on your own opinions, I’ll take my granddaughter and leave tomorrow. How about that?” Drive a duck onto a perch?
A hint of helplessness flashed in Xu Wenping’s eyes. However, since Old Master Li had mentioned this situation, it was obviously not good to reject it again. Hence, he looked at Li Junlan.
Li Junlan also knew that she couldn’t win against the old man, so she nodded coldly.
The two of them got off the table and walked into the courtyard under Old Master Li’s gaze.
Old Master Li smiled lightly.
As he opened the door, the guard beside the old man was also a little confused. He smiled bitterly and said, “Old Master, you’re just short of watching the two of them have children. I don’t understand. Not only is Miss Li beautiful, but she’s also a successful expert… Why do you have to…”
Old Master Li smiled and looked at the guard mysteriously. “Do you also think that my actions were unnecessary?”
“I don’t dare to. What do you think?” The guard chuckled. “However, with your status, there’s no need for you to climb up the ladder, right?”
As Old Master Li slowly left, he touched his chin and shook his head helplessly. “I know my own child very well. Although Junlan usually appears very strong, it’s actually just on the surface. She’s just a weak little girl on the inside, even weaker than ordinary little girls.”
“The reason why she deliberately pretended to be strong and cold is actually just a layer of disguise on her body.”
“Coincidentally… The kid of the Xu family is a decisive killer. Whether or not he can awaken the spirit in Junlan’s heart, it would probably be tonight…”
The guard seemed to understand.
Xu Wenping and Li Junlan walked into the house calmly. As soon as they closed the door, a trace of panic flashed in Li Junlan’s eyes. “Xu Wenping, you better not have any improper thoughts about me. Even if Grandpa wants me to be in the same room as you, but…”
“Do you have a persecutory delusion?”
Xu Wenping admitted that he really didn’t know Li Junlan well. He looked at her up and down with a strange expression, then spread his hands and said, “Do you think we’re in the same room?”
“This is the same courtyard!”
“I have 5, 6, 7, 8 bedrooms in this courtyard. Pick a place you like to sleep and don’t disturb me.”
“Okay!?”
Li Junlan was slightly stunned.
Xu Wenping quickly walked into the hall.
Xu Wenping’s personality was like a donkey. He would be coaxed but not forced. It would be strange if Xu Wenping gave Li Junlan a good look.
Xu Wenping took a can of drink from the fridge and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
However, just as he turned around, he saw Li Junlan walk in. She still had a stern face and a cold expression as she sat opposite Xu Wenping.
“…Pretty, a girl. Why do you have such a bad expression?”
“Hmph, I’m that kind of person.”
“But 1 don’t really like it. Aren’t you going to pick a room for yourself to sleep in?” Xu Wenping said helplessly. “I think I’ll be very happy if you leave me now.”
“Bah… You’re making it seem like no one wants to sit next to you! You’re ignorant, arrogant… Pu Xinnan! If it weren’t for Grandpa, I wouldn’t even be bothered to look at you!”
“Miss Li… Aren’t you being a little arrogant?” Listening to Li Junlan’s insults, although there were no vulgarities, Xu Wenping didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
This door wasn’t locked from the inside. She could leave if she wanted to… But she just had to sit opposite him and scold him.
Xu Wenping didn’t find it annoying, but he felt awkward. Therefore, he pretended to be cold and stood up from the sofa with a cold gaze.
“What are you doing?!”
Xu Wenping slowly walked up to Li Junlan. Although Li Junlan pretended to be calm, it was normal for her to feel fear under Xu Wenping’s pressure.
Xu Wenping grabbed Li Junlan’s collar and roughly pulled her up.
“You, you, you… What do you want?”
“Haha!” Xu Wenping laughed coldly and said, “You’re asking me what I want?”
“I have a bet with you in the gym. I don’t care about anything else. Your grandfather wants to marry you to me as my concubine. Aren’t you going to be angry with your grandfather? You’re giving me face here. Do you think I’m easy to bully?”
Xu Wenping only pulled Li Junlan lightly with a strong force. Xu Wenping waved his hand and landed on Li Junlan’s butt without hesitation.
Pa!
Although it was separated by a layer of coat and jeans, a crisp sound still rang out immediately. Li Junlan let out a cry of surprise.
Although he had saved his strength, it should have hurt, right?
Xu Wenping thought to himself,
“You can get out of this room now. Since the bet is complete, we will have nothing to do with each other in the future,” Xu Wenping said calmly.
However, just as he let go, he saw Li Junlan’s body tremble slightly and she suddenly fell limply onto the sofa.
She turned around, her face flushed red.
“The bet… Isn’t it… Ten… Ten?”
