Chapter 139 We Are Not Murderers

“We also found out that Master Nanshan has made an exception and accepted Miss Xu as his disciple because of her outstanding ability.”

Li Jingran was even more confused.

Master Nanshan was an artist, but Xu Wanwan had never shown any interest in art.

What exactly was so important that she worked so hard to become his disciple? After Xu Wanwan got home, she was called to the second floor by the Butler before she could take a break.

“Is there something urgent that Mr. Li needs me for?” Xu Wanwan was panting a little, not understanding what was going on.

The Butler said, “Miss Xu, you’ll know when you go in.”

Xu Wanwan nodded. “Alright then.”

She gently pushed open the door of the study and slowly walked inside.

Li Jingran was wearing a navy blue shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing his attractive collarbone. The cuffs were rolled up, revealing a section of his cold white arm and a vintage wristwatch that showed his nobility.

He was still working hard. The side profile of his face was like a chiseled with a knife, looking especially eye-catching.

Xu Wanwan gulped. She always felt that this man had an invisible hint of seduction.

She felt that her thoughts were very shameless, so she quickly shook her head.

At this moment, Li Jingran suddenly looked up just in time to see the girl secretly shaking her head. He chuckled. “What are you doing?”

Xu Wanwan was startled by the sound of his voice. “Ah, my neck is a little itchy.”

“By the way, you were in a hurry to get me to come over. There must be something important, right?”

“Come here.”

Xu Wanwan walked over obediently and stood next to the man, acting exceptionally well behaved.

Li Jingran couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw her serious and cute look.

It was strange that this girl wasn’t like this in front of others, but every time she was with him, she would act like a child.

Thinking of this, he glanced sideways.

The girl was wearing a pink rabbit hoodie. Her eyes were big, and her eyelashes were fluttering. Her tiny lips were tightly pursed, and she was standing seriously in her fluffy slippers.

Well, she was indeed a child.

Xu Wanwan was feeling embarrassed by his straightforward staring. She could not help but touch her nose. “Is there something dirty on my face?”

“No.” Li Jingran looked away and took a scroll from his hand. He handed it to her. “This is a famous painting that I’ve recently made part of my collection of famous paintings. Take a look.”

Xu Wanwan was confused. She reached out to take the scroll and slowly opened it. A brown stallion came into view.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she seriously admired the painting.

Li Jingran tapped the table casually with his fingertips. “What do you think of this painting?”

Through the paper, she could tell that the artist’s painting skill was extremely high. This level of skill was not something she could evaluate.

She looked at it a few more times, put it away, and handed it back. “It’s very good.”

“It seems that my collection of famous paintings is not good enough for you,” Li Jingran said deliberately.

Xu Wanwan felt a little wronged. “How can that be?”

“Then why is Miss Xu so stingy with her evaluation?”

“This painting is really too good, I feel that I’m not capable enough to evaluate it,” Xu Wanwam said seriously. “Moreover, this is already a collection-level famous painting. There’s no need for me to flatter you.”

The eyes of the masses were discerning, but anyone who was sensitive to art should be able to tell that this painting was not ordinary.

Li Jingran could not help but laugh. He could not help but be influenced by the girl’s naivety.

He took back the scroll and cut to the point. “I heard that you took Master Nanshan as your master?”

“Well… yes.” Xu Wanwan gently tapped the tip of her toes. She subconsciously observed the man’s reaction. When she saw that he was not angry, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Why did you hide it from me?”

“I didn’t.”

Xu Wanwan explained, “Because I was not sure if Master Nanshan would take a look at it, so I didn’t tell you about it first.”

If a good fortune hasn’t materialized yet, then it is not proper to speak of it prematurely.

Li Jingran stared into the girl’s eyes. “Why did you take him as your master?”

“Master Nanshan is a famous art master in the industry. Many people respect him as a master.”

“Other people do it for fame and fortune or for their ideals. Why did you do it?”

His intuition told him that it was not that simple.

Coincidentally, the Li Corporation needed a design from Master Nanshan, then Xu Wanwan went to acknowledge him as her teacher.

Coincidentally as well, Xu Wanwan had heard what Secretary Lin said that day at the company. Based on Li Jingran’s understanding of her, it was easy to guess what she wanted to do.

“Of course, I have my reasons too.” Xu Wanwan pursed her lips and still did not tell the truth. “However, I don’t want to say it now.”

After all, Master Nanshan had not agreed to her request yet. If this matter fell through, it would disappoint people’s expectations.

Although Xu Wanwan did not say it, Li Jingran could roughly guess it.

He chuckled. “For the Li Corporation?”

Xu Wanwan was shocked.

How did he know?!

She thought that she had concealed herself very well. Where did he find out?

Seeing the surprise in the girl’s eyes, Li Jingran said calmly, “You went through so much trouble to learn from Master Nanshan just to help the Li Corporation get Master Nanshan’s design?”

Xu Wanwan frowned slightly and wanted to deny it.

But it was the truth.

If it were not for the design, she would not have gone to Master Nanshan.

She struggled for a few seconds in her heart and nodded her head silently. “Mm! I just want to help you a little more.”

Through the dim light, the silhouette of her profile was gentle and beautiful. She stood quietly in front of the ancient wooden bookshelf with a tranquil charm.

Li Jingran’s expression softened a little. He slowly reached out his hand and brushed away the stray strands of hair falling from her ears. “Don’t feel wronged for wanting to help me.”

In this world where benefits were the most important, everyone wanted to see some worth, but Li Jingran only cared about whether she was aggrieved or not.

Xu Wanwan’s heart warmed up. “I’m not wronged. I should feel honored to be Master Nanshan’s disciple.”

“And there were hundreds of people who signed up at that time. I was very lucky to be chosen.”

Although her motive for becoming a disciple was not simple, she was still sincere. Knowing that she was helping Li Jingran of the Lu Corporation, her heart softened a little.

“Come here,” he said in a deep voice.

Xu Wanwan was stunned.

She was already standing in front of the man, how else could she come over? She suddenly shook her head. “I don’t think so… if we get a little closer, we might get misunderstood.”

“Misunderstand what?” Li Jingran’s thin lips curved slightly, piquing her interest.

Xu Wanwan was a little embarrassed to say it out loud.

Should she tell him that there were people who always misunderstood that they were a couple?

“It’s nothing…” She lowered her eyelashes and said softly, “I just think it’s better not to get too close with our kind of relationship.”

“Then in your heart, what kind of relationship do we fall under?”.

Xu Wanwan thought for a while. “Brother and sister, I guess.”

Li Jingran suddenly smiled. “I don’t have the habit of casually adopting a younger sister.” “Ah?”

This time, it was Xu Wanwan’s turn to be confused.

What did he mean by this?

“If we’re not brother and sister, then what’s our relationship?”
