The Evil Villainess' Sweet Love Story-Chapter 348

“It’s fine if we meet.”

Li Jingran’s attitude was the same as before. “Make dinner for me.”

Xu Wanwan frowned. “Didn’t you have dinner at the banquet tonight?”

A hint of surprise appeared in Li Jingran’s eyes, and he felt even more unfamiliar with Xu Wanwan.

This girl had never refused his request before.

But now, she seemed to have changed into a different person.

His thin lips were pursed tightly, and the outline of his side profile was covered with a layer of shadow. This was a sign of anger.

Xu Wanwan knew his temper too well. She sighed in her heart and compromised, “Then I’ll go make dinner.”

She turned around and went downstairs. She walked to the kitchen with ease, put on an apron, and began to prepare.

Outside the dining room, Li Jingran sat quietly by the sofa. His eyes were locked on the girl, watching her busy back as she shuttled back and forth in the kitchen.

He had waited for this scene for too long.

It was exactly the same as the scene he had seen in his dream. The man just sat there and watched calmly, and his eyes unconsciously became moist.

Xu Wanwan was not in the mood to cook any big meals. She often did not have time to eat in the past few years when she was abroad, and her taste had become much lighter. For dinner, she simply fried a few vegetables.

......

When she carried the plate out, she met Li Jingran’s eager gaze.

She acted as if she didn’t see anything and set the plate by herself. Then, she took the bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen and put the rice in front of Li Jingran. “Eat.”

“Accompany me.”Li Jingran’s thin lips parted slightly.

Xu Wanwan shook her head. “I’m full tonight.”

Li Jingran put down his chopsticks and looked at her stubbornly.

Xu Wanwan was helpless and compromised again.

She sat opposite the man and picked up her chopsticks to pick up some food and put it in her mouth. However, it didn’t taste good when she chewed.

She rarely cooked for the past three years. Most of the time, Gu Jinshen was busy in the kitchen. Her culinary skills had deteriorated a lot.

Xu Wanwan couldn’t even eat by herself. When she put down her chopsticks, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the man at the other end of the table, who was eating the bland food with relish.

She was a little surprised. She retracted her gaze and said calmly, “Director Li, I’ve completed your request. When can you tell me?”

“It’s too late now.”Li Jingran slowly wiped the corners of his lips and looked up at her. “Stay.”

“No.”

Xu Wanwan vetoed it directly. “Yan Zhi and I have our own home. There are still people waiting for us at home.”

Gu Jinshen’s face immediately appeared in Li Jingran’s mind. He frowned unhappily and his voice turned cold. “It’s useless even if you refuse.”

After he said that, he got up and prepared to go upstairs.

“Go upstairs and sleep when you’ve thought it through.”

Xu Wanwan took a deep breath and clenched her fists.

She had nowhere to vent all her strength. She felt like she had been played by a man.

Li Jingran walked to the stairs and leaned over to look at the girl sitting in the living room. He looked at her thin back and the emotions in his eyes were both restrained and complicated.

If he did not use this method to imprison her, she would leave tonight.

Just like three years ago, once she left, she would never come back.

He would never allow such a thing to happen again.

Time passed bit by bit. Xu Wanwan sat alone in the living room. Her mind was racing as she was thinking about how to take Xu Yanzhi away from Li Jingran.

She was not going to deal with anyone else. It just so happened that it was Yanzhi’s biological father.

Coaxing and pestering wouldn’t work on Li Jingran, and forcefully taking him away wouldn’t work either.

Xu Wanwan was a little frustrated as she thought about it. Did she have to use such a shameful method to divert men’s attention?

“Miss Xu, it’s already so late. Haven’t you rested yet?”

Just as Xu Wanwan was lost in her thoughts, Auntie Zhang’s voice suddenly came from behind her.

Her mood eased a little. “No, what’s wrong, Auntie Zhang?”

“Miss Xu, the child that director Li brought back this afternoon should be yours, right?”

Xu Wanwan’s eyes lit up. “Yes, he’s my child. Do you know where he is?”

Auntie Zhang shook her head. “I’m just a servant in the family. How would I know director Li’s arrangements?”

The glimmer of hope in Xu Wanwan’s eyes instantly dimmed.

Aunt Zhang continued, “But don’t worry. I see that director Li treats him very well. The way he looks at your child is also very different. I’ve been there before. If this child had nothing to do with director Li, director Li wouldn’t be so tolerant.”

“Moreover, little treasure looks just like director Li. Since he’s director Li’s biological child, why would he treat him harshly?”

Xu Wanwan did not hide the truth, but Aunt Zhang saw through the truth.

“Aunt Zhang, but Yan Zhi has been calling others his father all these years. He already has a father in his heart, not to mention that he doesn’t like Li Jingran,”Xu Wanwan said helplessly, “The child is still young. I don’t want him to get involved in too many grudges. I just want him to grow up happily.”

“But Miss Xu, director Li has been waiting for you all these years. It’s been really hard on him.”.

Aunt Zhang couldn’t help but say, “Back when you just left here, director Li didn’t eat or drink during that period of time. He was drunk all the time. The stock of the Li Corporation fell for a while.”

“After old master Li passed away, director Li immediately broke off the engagement with the Zhou family. “Moreover, during the years when you were not around, director Li had never provoked another woman. Even with Miss Zhou, they were not husband and wife.”

Xu Wanwan listened quietly, her mood fluctuating.

She seemed to have returned to three years ago. When she thought of Li Jingran’s depressed and decadent look, an indescribable feeling filled her heart.

She had never thought that Li Jingran would be so sad because of her departure.

“Miss Xu, it’s getting late. Why Don’t you stay here for the night?”Aunt Zhang stood up. “I’ll get you a blanket.”

Xu Wanwan bit her lower lip and could only agree.

It was indeed very late now. Yan Zhi usually went to bed very early, so he must have fallen asleep by now.

Since Li Jingran knew that Xu Yanzhi was his child, he probably wouldn’t deliberately make things difficult for him. He could only wait until tomorrow to have a good talk with him before thinking of a way to take Yan Zhi away.

Upstairs.

The room was pitch black. Xu Yanzhi woke up and found himself lying on an unfamiliar bed. He was so scared that he began to cry.

“Mommy, Daddy, where are you... sob, sob, sob, why aren’t you bringing me home?” f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

“I’m so scared, sob, sob...”

Little Tuan was sobbing. Suddenly, a big hand reached out from behind him and pulled him directly into the quilt.

The man’s deep and serious voice sounded, “Man, why are you crying?”

Hearing this familiar voice, Little Tuan cried even harder. “SOB, SOB, it’s you again, this bad uncle! You hid me. Mommy will beat you up if she finds out!”

Li Jingran’s lips curled up coldly. He immediately turned on the light and pulled the little guy out from under the blanket. “Say that again.”

Xu Yanzhi was such a young man, so he had never seen a man with such a strong aura.

Moreover, this bad uncle’s expression was so ugly. He must be angry.

He was very smart. After crying twice, he curled the corners of his lips and did not dare to make another sound.
