Chapter 229: Chapter 229: I apologize to you

The wind on the rooftop seemed to be a little mesmerizing. Xu Wanwan’s eyes flickered slightly, and she even suspected that she had heard it wrong.

Was he apologizing to her?

“I was wrong about what happened before,”Li Jingran said hoarsely. When his long and narrow eyes looked at her, there was no trace of aggression. “I apologize to you.”

A very sincere apology.

Xu Wanwan suddenly didn’t know how to respond.

She had never seen Li Jingran bow his head before.

She had thought that a cold and arrogant man like him would never bow to anyone.

But now, he actually told her that he was wrong.

Xu Wanwan curled the corners of her lips. “You weren’t wrong. I just used you.”

There was some anger in her words.

Thinking back to how Li Jingran didn’t believe her at all, she couldn’t get over that hurdle.

Li Jingran’s eyes darkened. “Then come home with me. I can let it go.”

Xu Wanwan stared into the man’s eyes and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Was she really a mercenary in his heart?

“I’ll go back with you, and then I’ll be humiliated by you, and then I’ll be kicked out by you again?”Xu Wanwan’s voice turned cold, and her heart calmed down.

If she didn’t go back, she wouldn’t have to suffer the feeling of being abandoned again.

But if she went back, when she relied on a man, if she was abandoned again, the injury would be too heavy.

Li Jingran had already lowered his head to her, but when he heard her cold retort, his heart instantly sank.

She used him, and he could let bygones be bygones.

She rejected his kindness time and time again, and was willing to give her a chance.

He even managed to lower his head and apologize to her.

In more than twenty years, he had never treated anyone like this.

Li Jingran’s voice was low. “Xu Wanwan, what have I Done Wrong to You?”

“Director Li is very good to me.”

Xu Wanwan said faintly, “But I’m not a pet that you can summon and dismiss at will. I’m living a good life by myself now. After this week is over, we’d better not see each other again.”

Li Jingran’s expression was slightly derisive.

The cold-faced girl in front of him was no longer the same as before.

She had the guts to talk to him like that.

Xu Wanwan waited in a daze for a few seconds. When she saw the man’s gloomy face and the mood around him gradually darkening, she knew that he was very angry.

She lowered her head to cover the disappointment in her eyes, and her tone suddenly became firm. “Director Li, it’s better that you don’t come looking for me anymore.”

After saying that, she gathered her coat, turned around, and left.

The wind was very strong, and it blew behind her, causing a gust of cold air.

Li Jingran stared coldly at her back as she left. He stood behind her, and his emotions were extremely cold.

When they went downstairs to the classroom, Lin Jiannan saw Xu Wanwan, and her eyes were filled with anticipation. “Quickly tell me, did big CEO Li come looking for you to make up?”

Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. “No.”

Seeing that she didn’t look too good, Lin Jiannan’s expression darkened. “What happened?”

Xu Wanwan lowered her head and pondered for a few seconds. After a long while, she slowly said, “In his heart, I’m a person who only knows how to use him. Even if I reconcile with him, it won’t change his opinion of me.”

“Moreover… he was the one who wanted me to leave. I didn’t want to be so obedient. If he told me to go back, I would go back. If he told me to leave, I would leave.”

Lin Jiannan couldn’t help but sigh. “Sigh, maybe big CEO Li said it in a moment of anger. Since he came to find you, it means that he still has you in his heart.”

Xu Wanwan bit the corner of her lips. The image of a man hugging and kissing her suddenly appeared in her mind.

Her face was burning hot, and she forced herself not to think too much.

“Jiannan, there are still many, many things between me and Li Jingran.”

After Xu Wanwan calmed down, her thoughts became much more rational. “His parents have always looked down on me, and they don’t want me to continue staying in the Li family, so…”

How could Lin Jiannan not see the sadness in her expression? Without saying anything else, she grabbed her hand. “Forget it, let’s not think too much.”

“Later, I’ll bring you to eat something delicious to celebrate you becoming the exclusive designer of Anqing Company!”

Xu Wanwan’s lips curved slightly. “Okay.”

—

On Monday, in the design department building of Anqing Company, all the staff were extremely busy. In the corridors, white-collar workers in work clothes were in a hurry.

Xu Wanwan still had classes in the afternoon, so she took time out in the morning to make a trip to the company.

She was carrying a backpack and wearing the uniform of a university. Compared to the people who were working, she looked much more inexperienced.

She had just arrived. Before she could find Gao Zongsheng’s office, she was stopped by a woman in a black and white professional dress.

“Hey, Hey, where did this little brat come from? Why did he come to our company?”

Xu Wanwan stopped and looked at the woman in front of her.

Her clothes were sexy and her makeup was flirtatious. Her wavy hair flowed down her shoulders.

“Hello, I’m here to see President Gao.”Xu Wanwan nodded at the woman in a polite tone.

“Looking for president Gao?”The woman curled her lips in disdain and smiled. “Do you have an appointment?”

Xu Wanwan was stunned.

She only made an appointment with President Gao on her phone and no one stopped her on the way. She even knew that she had to make an appointment to see President Gao.

“I’m sorry, I don’t have an appointment, but president Gao definitely knows me.”

The woman laughed even more disdainfully. “President Gao knows so many people, who knows who you are?”

“This is the design department’s Building, we keep a lot of professional secrets here. If the company’s things are missing, can you bear the responsibility?”

“If you know what’s good for you, then hurry up and leave. Don’t Make Me Call Security to chase you away.”

After the woman finished speaking, she crossed her arms and stared at Xu Wanwan unhappily.

Xu Wanwan knew that there was no point in explaining anymore, so she simply ignored this person and turned to walk forward.

“Hey, I say, are you deaf? !”The woman reached out and grabbed Xu Wanwan’s arm, her tone unhappy.

“Stop!”

Just as Xu Wanwan could not help but lose her temper, a deep voice sounded.

Gao Zongsheng rushed over and glared at the woman. “Sala, let her go.”

The woman named Sala was surprised. When she saw Gao Zongsheng’s gloomy face, she reluctantly let go.

“Who is she?”The woman asked unhappily.

Gao zongsheng ignored her question and walked up to Xu Wanwan politely. “Miss Xu, are you okay?”

Xu Wanwan rubbed her aching arm and exhaled lightly. “I’m fine.”

“It’s all my fault for not introducing her to the people in the company in advance. This is the chief designer of our company, also known as Sala.”

Xu Wanwan nodded. “Okay, I got it.”

Sala looked displeased. “Old Gao, who is she?”

“She’s the new exclusive designer hired by the company, Xu Wanwan,”Gao Zongsheng introduced simply.

Sala looked at Xu Wanwan with a hint of hostility.

“Her? Are you sure?”
