Chapter 143 You’re Very Beautiful Today

Li Jingran chuckled. “The last thing our family needs is money, there’s no need to save.”

Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. She really didn’t know what to say.

It seemed that the truth was the same.

To her, luxury was not even worth mentioning in Li Jingran’s eyes.

But she felt that she wouldn’t be rewarded for doing nothing, so she deliberately put on a straight face and said seriously, “I’ve already said that the clothes are enough, so you’re not allowed to do this again next time. Otherwise… otherwise…”

She held it in for a long time but still could not come up with a reason.

Li Jingran curled his lips and chuckled, “Otherwise what?”

Xu Wanwan’s face turned red. After a long time, she finally said, “Otherwise, I’ll be angry!” Li Jingran’s expression softened. Why did he feel that this girl’s angry look was different from others?

“Alright, let’s go eat first.”

Li Jingran stood up and said calmly, “Rest early tonight. I’ll send you to the art museum tomorrow.”

Xu Wanwan was a little surprised. “Really? You don’t have to work tomorrow?”

“I don’t have much work tomorrow.”

“But I might wake up a little early tomorrow…”

Li Jingran pulled out a chair and slowly sat down, saying without any hurry, “Make sure to remind yourself.”

Xu Wanwan’s face instantly turned red.

Well, she was indeed often late.

On the contrary, Li Jingran was very punctual, no matter if it was windy or rainy.

She ate in silence and suddenly thought of something

Lin Jianan had asked her to invite Li Jingran to the party, but she hadn’t said anything yet.

She took a small bite of a ball, chewed it a few times, and asked tentatively, “Um, are you free this weekend?”

“What’s the matter?”

“My friend asked me to invite you to her father’s birthday party.” Xu Wanwan put down her chopsticks and said seriously, “I know this has nothing to do with you, but I think I still have to tell you.”

“If you’re busy, then forget it! My friend is also a reasonable person, so she won’t say anything.”

After hearing that, Li Jingran asked patiently, “Which friend of yours?”

“The girl who helped Li Xuyi with me last time. She’s my best friend.”

“Okay, got it.”

Xu Wanwan tried to figure out his tone and didn’t quite understand. “Then what do you mean?”

“I’ll ask someone to turn down my weekend work and go with you.” Li Jingran poured a glass of red wine and took a sip with a calm expression.

Xu Wanwan felt a little embarrassed instead. “If you’re busy with work, it’s okay to refuse.”

“Since your friend invited you, there’s no harm in going.” The corners of Xu Wanwan’s eyes immediately curved up. “That’s great. My friend will be very happy to know.”

She had thought that Li Jingran would not be so easy to talk to, but she did not expect him to agree to it just by mentioning it. The Butler, who was standing not too far away, smiled meaningfully when he saw this scene.

Other people had no idea about Li Jingran’s temperament, but how could he not know?

The director had never liked to attend gatherings, and he would always push off going to the banquets of the higher-ups whenever he could.

However, when Miss Xu spoke, Big Boss Li seemed to have changed into a different person, not remembering the rules he had set before.

The next day, Xu Wanwan especially set three alarm clocks.

Today was a very important day. If she dropped the ball at such a critical moment, it would be too bad.

When the first alarm clock rang, Xu Wanwan had already woken up. She quickly got out of bed to wash up, changed her clothes, and sat on the dressing table to begin putting on makeup. She usually did not like to put on makeup, aiming for a natural look instead. However, putting on proper makeup was also a form of respect for others when attending such an important occasion.

Even if she did not put on much makeup, her skills were not bad. It only took her half an hour to put on a decent makeup.

After packing up everything, she took her bag and went out. The clock in the hall indicated that it was only eight o’clock. Hearing the sound of the girl going downstairs, Li Jingran turned back to take a look. He didn’t blink again after that one glance.

Xu Wanwan had changed from her usual style. She was wearing a black qipao with a slit. She had a good figure and delicate makeup on her face, her eyes looking clear and beautiful. Her black hair was tied behind her back, revealing her slender neck. She held onto the railing and slowly went downstairs.

The dust in the air trembled. The stairs behind her became distant. At this moment, she seemed to have walked into his heart.

Li Jingran felt as if a broken stone had been thrown into his heart, causing ripples. His eyes darkened slightly. He very well concealed the complicated emotions in his eyes, his tone remaining calm. “Let’s eat first.”

Xu Wanwan was dressed much more mature today, but she still looked at him as usual. Her lips curved into a sweet smile. “Okay.”

Aunt Zhang had prepared a sumptuous breakfast today. In front of Xu Wanwan were congee dishes, steamed dumplings, and steamed dumplings.

She always liked to eat these. After she finished her meal, she raised her head and suddenly met the man’s deep gaze.

Li Jingran was looking at her, his gaze hot and unapologetic.

Xu Wanwan’s heart tightened, stunned by the look in his eyes.

“I… No, what’s wrong with you?”

She asked in a low voice. She frowned slightly and didn’t dare to say another word.

After waiting for a few seconds, she heard the man’s cold and magnetic voice–

“You’re very beautiful today.”

Xu Wanwan was suddenly praised.

She couldn’t help but blush and lowered her head in a panic. “Really?”

“Of course.” Li Jingran’s eyes were full of praise, but his tone was full of jealousy. “It’s a pity that you’re dressed so well, and it’s not for

me.”

“I thought that I must be sincere in taking a master, so I have to pay more attention to it,” Xu Wanwan explained seriously. “I can also dress well in the future, and I’ll only show it to you.”

She was just explaining, but the corners of Li Jingran’s lips curled up. “Only for me?”

She didn’t think much of it and nodded with a red face. “Yes, only for you!”

It wasn’t that difficult anyway.

Next time, she would dress better and put on makeup.

Li Jingran stood up and said in a relaxed tone, “Let’s go, or we’ll be late.”

“Oh, okay!” Xu Wanwan grabbed her bag and got into Li Jingran’s car.

When they arrived at the art museum, she got out of the car and waved at the man. “Then I’ll go in first?”

“Yes, tell me when you’re coming back. I’ll pick you up.”

Xu Wanwan smiled. “Okay, take care on the road!”

Xu Wanwan watched Li Jingran’s car drive away, then she gathered her emotions and headed to the art museum. The last time she came here, she had been in a hurry and did not look closely at the interior decoration. Upon seeing it again this time, she felt that every part of it was filled with art.

After going around the long art gallery, Xu Wanwan stopped at the spacious entrance of the art studio. Her eyes were filled with appreciation as she looked at the works inside.

Master Nanshan was not only a well-known designer in the industry, he was also a painter of the Nanshan School.

The set of paintings that he created had a high art collection value. The works in the art studio could be sold for tens of millions of dollars outside.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a mocking voice came from behind her.

“What are you standing here for? Can you understand it?”
