Chapter 284: Chapter 284 I want to rely on myself

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Jingran coldly interrupted, “Find the troublemaker and leave behind evidence.”

With that, he grabbed his suit jacket and left in a hurry.

When Li Jingran rushed to Zhiyi company, the hall was pitch black. Everyone in the company had left except for the office lights.

His eyes darkened and he slowly pushed the door open.

The entire office was very quiet. Only the girl’s thin figure was sitting in front of the desk. Her eyes were fixed on the screen, and the sound of typing on the keyboard was particularly crisp.

Li Jingran stood at the door for a long time. When Xu Wanwan finished writing the last square, he finally looked up.

She was stunned. Looking at the gloomy man at the door, her heart tightened.

Oh No!

When did Li Jingran come?

She had promised him that she would get off work early and go home every day, but she had worked so late today. Would he be angry?

Xu Wanwan’s heart was beating fast. She carefully got up and walked toward the man with a smile on her lips. “It’s so late. Why are you here?”

Li Jingran curled his lips coldly. He was obviously smiling, but his body exuded a bone-chilling coldness. “I have to ask you, why aren’t you home at this time of Night?”

Faced with this cold question, Xu Wanwan was very flustered. Helpless, she took a step forward and stretched out her hand to gently hug the man’s waist, “I also want to go home earlier, but I haven’t finished my work. Even if I go home, I won’t be able to sleep.”

“Just like how you sometimes work very late at the company, you also have your own difficulties.”

The girl’s soft voice was like cotton candy. Li Jingran’s furrowed brows relaxed a little, and he sighed softly, full of helplessness.

He really couldn’t do anything about her.

His tone softened. “Are you done now?”

“Yes… almost. You can go home now.”Xu Wanwan nodded hesitantly. She didn’t dare to tell Li Jingran that there were still some work to be done.

“Let’s go.”Li Jingran held the girl’s hand. Seeing that her palm was cold, he frowned again. “You didn’t turn on the heater?”

“I… I did, but I turned off the heater at night.”

When she said this, Xu Wanwan’s eyes flickered.

How could Li Jingran not see that she was trying to hide something? He said in a low voice, “The Li family doesn’t lack this little money. Tell me if the company’s funds are insufficient. I’ll give it to you.”

Xu Wanwan lowered her head. “No need. I want to rely on myself.”

Li Jingran had never seen such a stubborn girl. He was really helpless. He put her hand into his pocket and pulled her out.

He didn’t say another word until they got into the car.

Xu Wanwan was getting more and more nervous.

She didn’t seem to have done anything. Why was he angry?

After getting into the car, Xu Wanwan secretly looked at the man beside her and sat closer to him. “Li Jingran, I was wrong. Next time, I promise to go home earlier, okay?”

The man looked at her coldly and didn’t say a word.

Xu Wanwan was shocked by his cold eyes for a moment. She frowned and almost cried.

She quickly lowered her head and said quietly, “I know you’re angry with me, but I also want you to support me.”

“Just like when you’re busy in the company, I’ll also wait for you at home, but why –”

Before she could finish, Li Jingran reached out and grabbed the girl’s wrist. He pushed her to a corner and said in a deep voice, “Then why are you acting tough?”

“I. . . Didn’t.”

“You still say you didn’t?”Li Jingran narrowed his eyes and looked at her deeply. “The office doesn’t turn on the heater, and the school company runs from side to side. Aren’t you tired?”

Xu Wanwan gritted her teeth. “No, not at all! I’m doing what I like, and I feel very satisfied.”

Li Jingran stared at her. “If you want me to support you, then listen to me obediently.”

Xu Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then blinked at the man and reluctantly agreed. “Then… Okay.”

Li Jingran heaved a sigh of relief and slowly let go of the girl’s wrist. He then tightened his grip on his cold little hand, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

The Li family did not lack money, but how could his girl live such a miserable life?

When he returned home, Xu Wanwan saw that Li Jingran was no longer angry, so she eagerly poured him some water and brought him some fruit.

Seeing the girl wearing little bear pajamas and standing by the bed with an innocent look on her face, Li Jingran put down his book and asked patiently, “What’s Wrong?”

Xu Wanwan blinked her eyes. “UM, can I ask you for a favor?”

Li Jingran’s eyes flashed with a different emotion.

What was wrong with him today? He actually asked for his help.

“Come here.”

Xu Wanwan walked over obediently and sat down beside the man. She looked at him carefully. “It’s like this. I want to ask you about doctor song.”

In an instant, Li Jingran’s face darkened. He said unhappily, “Why are you asking him?”

Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. She didn’t want to betray Lin Jiannan, so she said awkwardly, “I’m just asking. Just tell me.”

Li Jingran was helpless and compromised. “Go ahead.”

“Which hospital does Dr. song work in? What days does he usually rest? Has He been busy recently?”

Li Jingran glanced at her, and the pages in his hands started to wrinkle.

He was very dissatisfied and tried his best to endure it. “He works in the Medical Research Institute.”

Xu Wanwan was still waiting for him to answer other questions.

The Li family changed the topic. “But he’s very busy. He’s not free for seven days a week.”

“Ah?”A hint of disappointment appeared on Xu Wanwan’s face. “How can this be? are all the doctors nowadays so tired?”

“Are you very disappointed?”Li Jingran’s tone had an inexplicable hint of jealousy.

However, Xu Wanwan did not hear it and nodded. “He’s at work every day. Doesn’t that mean he won’t have time to come out…”

The intimacy on Li Jingran’s forehead jumped.

“You still want him to come out?”

Xu Wanwan was still in the dark at the moment. “Yes, he only has the opportunity to come out when he has enough time. Moreover, the research institute is supposed to be a secret. Even if we go to him, it shouldn’t –”

Li Jingran did not wait for her to finish speaking and directly pushed the girl onto the bed. He immediately bent down and kissed her deeply on the lips with a hint of punishment in his eyes.

“Ugh…”Xu Wanwan struggled for a moment, but she was controlled even more deeply.

In the end, she could not move at all. Her breathing gradually became smoother, and her hands weakly patted the man’s strong waist.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Jingran felt the girl’s weak body and finally let go of her.

Xu Wanwan was like a fish on the verge of death, constantly gasping for air.

Her face was flushed red, and she stared at the man with a sullen face. “What are you doing?”

She felt that if he didn’t let go, she might really die from lack of oxygen.

Li Jingran glanced at her indifferently. “Do you dare to make me angry next time?”

“How did I make you angry?”Xu Wanwan felt very innocent and could not help but retort, “I just asked you about Dr. Song’s whereabouts. How did I make you angry?”
