Chapter 89: 89

When he received this message, Li Jingran was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, overlooking the night view of the entire city. His expression was extremely cold.

He raised his phone and saw the girl in rabbit pajamas sitting cross-legged on the sofa. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, and her petite back made him feel an inexplicable sense of tenderness.

He frowned, his heart softening a little.

He had been deliberately ignoring Xu Wanwan these days.

Because he clearly felt that his emotions could be influenced by this girl, he had no choice but to nip this thought in the bud.

But now that he had seen this photo, he was afraid that she would not be able to eat or sleep well. He was worried that she would be constantly disappointed in order to wait for him.

Li Jingran clenched his phone and pondered for a moment, his rationality returning gradually.

He replied to the Butler’s message, “I’m not going back tonight.”

He put down his phone and looked coldly at the traffic outside the window. There was a hint of helplessness hidden in his seemingly determined eyes.

It was not that he did not want to go back, but he could not.

Xu Wanwan had a bright future. She could be together with people of her age. If he got too close to her, it would only delay her.

Li Jingran was terrifyingly clear-headed. Even if he was tempted, he would suppress his thoughts.

That was why he deliberately avoided her. He thought that by distancing himself from her, he would be able to dispel the absurd thoughts in his heart.

The Butler could not help but sigh when he received the news. He hesitated for a moment before walking up to Xu Wanwan. “Miss Xu, Director Li might not be coming back for dinner tonight. Why don’t you go back to your room and rest?”

Xu Wanwan bit her lip, and a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes. “Did Mr. Li run into any trouble at work?”

“He hasn’t been home for dinner for many days… Why?”

Every time, she would cook a table full of dishes enthusiastically, hoping that Li Jingran would come back and taste them.

But her hopes had failed time and time again. It was inevitable that she would overthink and feel uncomfortable.

Could it be that Li Jingran found her annoying and did not want to see her anymore?

At the thought of this, Xu Wanwan felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.

After all, she had been with him for so long and had already relied on him from the bottom of her heart. In the face of his sudden indifference, she still could not accept it.

The Butler saw Xu Wanwan’s reaction and also felt very sorry for her. He comforted her, “Don’t think too much. Director Li is just a little busy recently. After he is done with his work, he will definitely return home on time.”

Xu Wanwan lowered her head. “Okay, I got it.”

The Butler had planned to leave, but when he saw the girl sitting on the sofa without moving, his heart softened.

As an elder at the Li family, he had been by Li Jingran’s side for so many years, so he could naturally see that Li Jingran liked this girl very much.

The Butler hesitated for a moment and said, “Miss Xu, Director Li’s birthday is coming up, but he always spends his birthday alone in the past. If you don’t mind, you can keep him company on his birthday this year.”

Xu Wanwan’s eyes lit up. “Why would I mind?”

“Director Li’s birthday is next Wednesday. He should be back in the evening.”

Because on that day, Li Jingran had to go home to deal with some things.

Xu Wanwan’s disappointment disappeared instantly. She said gratefully, “Thank you. I know what to do.”

“Okay. It’s getting late, you should rest early too.”

Xu Wanwan’s mood improved a lot. She immediately went back to her room to search for recipes for a birthday cake.

Her lips curled into an expectant smile. She wanted to give Li Jingran a surprise on his birthday!

The next day was the weekend. The class had already arranged to go out for dinner.

At first, Xu Wanwan did not want to go, but she could not resist Lin Jianan’s persuasion, so she could only agree.

At night, she dressed up casually and got into the driver’s car to go to the nightclub KTV.

Lin Jianan was wearing a thick sweater and was waiting at the door. When she saw Xu Wanwan coming, she quickly waved her hand.

“Wanwan, this way!”

Xu Wanwan walked over quickly, panting slightly. “Is everyone here?”

“Yes! Everyone is watching inside, except for you and Li Xuyi.” Lin Jianan grabbed Xu Wanwan’s arm and said as they walked, “But Li Xuyi seems to have something to attend to.”

Xu Wanwan nodded. “Then let’s go in quickly.”

The two of them walked through the long corridor to the innermost private room.

Lin Jianan said, “But it’s strange. Li Xuyi hasn’t been to school for a few days. I heard that he had a conflict with his family.”

Xu Wanwan was stunned. “Ah? How did you know?”

“Anyway, I heard from them that Li Xuyi’s favorite clubs have been suspended. He seemed to be angry, so he simply didn’t come to school.”

After listening to it, Xu Wanwan thought of what Li Xuyi had asked him at the Li family’s house.

Li Jingran must have suspended his clubs, which had annoyed him.

But it was not a big deal to not go to school all the time.

She pursed her lips and decided to find an opportunity to persuade Li Jingran.

After all, Li Xuyi was his younger brother, so he shouldn’t be angry all the time.

Xu Wanwan had something on her mind. She walked to the private room and found a corner to sit down.

The loud music mixed with the laughter of everyone made people feel relaxed.

Lin Jianan poured two glasses of fruit wine and handed one to Xu Wanwan. She said straightforwardly, “Here, cheers!”

Xu Wanwan subconsciously declined. “I can’t really drink wine.”

“Wanwan, this is fruit wine. The alcohol content is very low and is negligible. Besides, it’s not easy for us to come out to relax. It’s fine to drink some wine.”

Xu Wanwan had something on her mind. She also wanted to experience the feeling of drinking to drown her sorrows. Under Lin Jianan’s encouragement, she took the glass of wine.

She hesitated for a moment and drank it all in one go.

Lin Jianan was surprised for a moment. “Awesome! Let’s continue drinking.”

Xu Wanwan leaned on the sofa in a relaxed manner. Taking advantage of the atmosphere here, she drank glass after glass of wine.

The two of them switched from fruit wine to cocktails. After getting slightly tipsy, they drank two more glasses of red wine.

Xu Wanwan had forgotten that she could not hold her liquor well. After drinking too much, the alcohol in her body began to take effect.

She was having a headache and her temperature was rising, her consciousness was getting dull. She looked at the blurry crowd in front of her and collapsed heavily on the sofa.

Lin Jianan raised his glass and came in front of her, shouting, “Wanwan, what’s wrong?”

Xu Wanwan closed her eyes tightly, as if she was asleep.

Lin Jianan was shocked and quickly threw away the glass. She shook her shoulders with both hands. “Wanwan, are you okay? Wake up!”

No matter how she shook her, Xu Wanwan was still unmoved.

Someone beside her could not stand it anymore and said mockingly, “She’s obviously drunk. You should call her family and get someone to bring her back.”

The people around also noticed that Xu Wanwan had passed out and immediately became excited. They stopped drinking and singing and gathered together to discuss.

“How disappointing. She fainted after playing for a while. She doesn’t fit in at all.”

“Do you think someone will bring her back? Who knows, we might even see the old man who’s keeping her.”

“It’s funny thinking about it.. I want to see what the old man who’s keeping Xu Wanwan looks like.”
