The Evil Villainess' Sweet Love Story Chapter 248 – 'I Love You'  

Gao Zongsheng's body trembled from being yelled at. In the end, he didn't dare to say anything more and left carefully with President Teng.

After returning to the Li family home, Xu Wanwan took a shower and walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a blanket.

Aunt Zhang brought over a bowl of ginger soup. “Miss Xu, be careful not to catch a cold. Drink this ginger soup to warm your body.”

Xu Wanwan wiped her wet hair and walked to the sofa to sit down. She was slightly stunned as she held the ginger soup in her hand.

“Where's Li Jingran?”

Li Jingran had not said a single word since he came back. His face had always been dark. She did not know if he was angry at her.

He should have felt very embarrassed seeing her in such a sorry state, right?

Or perhaps, he really thought that she was what Sala said she was.

Aunt Zhang said, “Director Li is in the study. He asked me to call you up just now.”

“You want me to look for him?”Xu Wanwan almost choked and could not help but cough.

Aunt Zhang hurriedly patted her back and nodded, “Yes, director Li probably has something to ask you.”

Why was he looking for her when he was so angry?

Was he going to scold her?

Xu Wanwan put down the bowl and hesitated for a long time before she got up and walked to the second floor.

Standing at the door of the study, she raised her hand and was about to open the door. She was stunned for a long time before she finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

A moment later, a cold voice came from inside. “Come in.”

Xu Wanwan pushed the door open and entered. She stood at the door.

She looked up at the man in the room and was slightly stunned for a moment.

He did not have an office. He was wearing a thin shirt and sitting in front of the French window. Smoke lingered in the room, and the man's back looked lonely and lonely.

After spending so much time together, she still did not know that he smoked.

Xu Wanwan frowned slightly and rubbed her nose. She was choked by the smoke and coughed a few times.

Li Jingran turned around and saw that the girl's small face was slightly wrinkled. He quietly extinguished the trace of scarlet on her fingertip.

“Come here.”Her voice was hoarse after she smoked the cigarette.

Xu Wanwan glanced at him timidly and walked over carefully.

She was very afraid of his angry look, and she was even more afraid of him being silent and cold.

She always felt that she had done something wrong, which was why he had become like this.

Xu Wanwan took a few steps closer, but she did not dare to really walk in front of the man. She stopped one meter away from him.

“Why are you looking for me?”She lowered her head, and her voice was even lower. Even her tone was filled with frustration.

Li Jingran's body was shrouded in a gloomy and indifferent aura. When he looked at Xu Wanwan, there was not a hint of impatience in his deep eyes.

He paused for a moment and said in a particularly hoarse voice, “You're not allowed to go to that kind of banquet anymore.”

If he had not arrived in time today, his girl would have suffered even more grievance.

Although Xu Wanwan had made preparations, when she heard these words in person, her heart suddenly felt sour.

As expected, he still despised her for making a fool of herself in public. Had she made a fool of herself?

She didn't know why, but when she faced Li Jingran, all of her pride was defeated at that moment.

“I know I've embarrassed you today.”She lowered her head, her long hair falling down from her cheeks. Her eyes were filled with passion, and the ground in front of her gradually became blurry, “I'm sorry. If something like this happens again in the future, I'll cut off all ties with you.”

Li Jingran frowned and raised his voice. “Xu Wanwan.”

“Do you think I dislike you?”

She completely ignored his naked concern, the forbearance and helplessness in his eyes.

She only thought that he was blaming her?

Xu Wanwan didn't dare to look up at the man's eyes. Naturally, she couldn't see the deep concern in his eyes.

“If you dislike me, then so be it. I Won't blame you,”she said softly. “If it were me, I would also dislike myself like this.”

“But nothing else has happened between CEO Gao and me. You can dislike me, but you can't think that I'm a promiscuous woman.”

Xu Wanwan finished speaking in one breath, and her voice was already choked with sobs. “Li Jingran.”

“I'm sorry. If something like this happens again in the future, you'd better not stand up for me. I know it's not good for me to be like this.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her wrist was grabbed. Before she could react, she fell heavily into the man's arms.

Li Jingran sat on the chair and pressed her against his leg. His slender fingers raised her chin slightly and met the girl's watery eyes.

The night was silent. The wind outside the window was blowing wildly, but the room was unusually warm.

They looked at each other. Even if they did not speak, their emotions had reached the peak.

Xu Wanwan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a drop of crystal-clear tears fell.

The tears fell on the back of Li Jingran's hand, burning like lava.

The man felt a sharp pain in his heart. He turned his head and sighed helplessly, but in the end, he lost.

Holding the girl in his arms, he raised his hand to cover the corner of her eyes and gently wiped away the tears. He said in a low voice, “Don't cry.”

Xu Wanwan's nose was very sore, and her heart was even more uncomfortable. She looked at him silently without saying a word.

Li Jingran couldn't do anything to her. “Who said I dislike you?”

“Then what do you… Mean?”Xu Wanwan saw that his emotions had softened, and she gradually came to her senses.

The man stared into her eyes and said seriously, “I love you.”

Xu Wanwan's heart skipped a beat.

She looked into the man's eyes again and felt that those cold eyes seemed to be burning hot at this moment.

She lowered her head in a panic, and her face turned red. “You really don't feel ashamed of me?”

“You dare to pursue your own career, what's wrong with that?”Li Jingran patted the girl's delicate back gently, as if to appease her emotions, “The ones who are wrong are those who harbor ill intentions, and the ones who should be punished are those people.”

“But why did you ask me not to attend those banquets in the future?”

Li Jingran patiently explained, “What the Li Corporation has, it's yours. You Don't have to work so hard.”

How could he bear to see her running around and being wronged?

It was just a company. If she wanted it, so what if he gave the entire Li Corporation to her?

Xu Wanwan's heart suddenly warmed up.

So that was what he meant.

She felt a little embarrassed again and said guiltily, “I'm sorry, I misunderstood you.”

Li Jingran's expression was exceptionally gentle. “Be obedient. Stay at home obediently from now on. I'll give you whatever you want.”

The corners of Xu Wanwan's lips drooped slightly.

She was unwilling.

“Li Jingran, can I not agree?”

“No.”

Xu Wanwan flattened her lips and looked like she was about to cry again.

Li Jingran frowned and almost compromised.

Xu Wanwan threw herself into the man's arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. She softly whispered into his ear, “I beg you.”

TSK, since when did this little girl learn to act coquettishly?

It was as if a stone had been thrown into his heart and he could not bear to refuse.

Li Jingran felt helpless and pinched the space between his eyebrows. “You have to go with me in the future.”

Xu Wanwan's eyes instantly lit up, and she subconsciously hugged the man tightly. “Okay!”

Li Jingran's eyes darkened, and he felt the small hand around his waist. His body stiffened, and the muscles on his back tightened.
