Chapter 175: We’re Not Compatible
Xu Yuchu went to open the door. When they saw each other, the expression on their faces were cold.
“Ask Xu Wanwan to come out.” Li Jingran went straight into the house and walked inside.
Xu Yuchu snorted coldly. “You’re the one who made her so angry. I want you to ask her to come out.”
He was obviously very happy that Xu Wanwan had come to look for him today.
But who knew that she would be angry with Li Jingran and that her attitude toward him was also much worse.
Xu Yuchu simply vented all his anger on Li Jingran.
“Kid, do you know what you’re talking about?”
Li Jingran glanced at him coldly. “You’d better go and get your sister out now.”
Xu Yuchu was now in a fit of anger and was not afraid of him at all. “I said I’m not going. Her room door wasn’t locked, so you should go.”
“Besides, whoever makes her angry should appease.”
Xu Yuchu’s words were very reasonable and directly stunned Li Jingran.
Li Jingran confronted him for a few seconds and saw that the kid had no intention of backing down.
He was angry for a moment. He took a deep breath and stood up.
The moment he stood up, the door of the guest room was suddenly opened.
Xu Wanwan was wearing pajamas and holding a glass of water. Before she could react, she saw the scene in front of her.
Xu Yuchu was sitting on the sofa with a cold expression, while Li Jingran was standing there with an even colder expression.
She unconsciously frowned. “You two?”
The two of them spoke at the same time——
“He’s here to pick you up.”
“I’m here to pick you up.”
After Xu Wanwan came to her senses, she calmly walked to the sofa and sat down. She looked up at Li Jingran with a hint of coldness in her eyes. “I won’t go back with you. You should go back by yourself.”
Hearing this, not only did Li Jingran’s heart sank, even Xu Yuchu’s heart also sank.
It seemed that Li Jingran really pissed Xu Wanwan off this time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so determined to say that she wouldn’t go back.
Li Jingran narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the girl. “Why?”
From yesterday until now, he didn’t think that he had done anything wrong to provoke her.
But her attitude had changed so quickly. She must have been hiding something from him.
Xu Wanwan glanced at Xu Yuchu. “You go in first.”
Xu Yuchu got up and gave Li Jingran a warning look before turning to leave.
The living room became quiet, and there was no sound around.
Xu Wanwan’s breathing was inexplicably heavy. She thought for a long time, but she couldn’t think of a good way to tell him the truth.
In the end, she finally mustered up her courage and said quickly, “After this period of time together, I feel that we... might not be suitable.”
As soon as she said that, the atmosphere in the room became dead silent.
Li Jingran said calmly, “Why?”
Why would she suddenly say that they were not suitable for each other?
Xu Wanwan clenched her fingers tightly. “There’s no reason. I just feel that we are not suitable for each other.”
Li Jingran’s thin lips curved slightly, but his smile was exceptionally cold.
He stared deeply into her eyes. Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, he said coldly, “I understand.”
Xu Wanwan saw that he did not say anything and his reaction was very calm. She was suddenly startled.
I think he doesn’t like me very much, right?
I can’t even see a hint of disappointment.
Xu Wanwan did not want to appear too fragile. She looked up at the man and became cold. “Mm, then you can go back.”
After she said that, she got up and went back to her room.
The moment she closed the door, she looked at the man sitting in the living room and couldn’t help but feel her heart ache.
She leaned against the door slowly and heard the sound of the door closing from outside.
She knew it was Li Jingran who had left.
It was too quiet around her. The chandelier above her head was emitting a dazzling light. Xu Wanwan seemed to have lost her mind as she stood there in a daze, not moving at all.
In the living room, Xu Yuchu came out of his room. When he saw Li Jingran leaving, he clenched his fists tightly!
At the Li family home.
The Butler asked carefully, “Do you want me to investigate Miss Xu’s recent whereabouts?”
Li Jingran’s face darkened as soon as he came back. His mood was extremely low. The Butler knew that he was angry and that his anger was deep. It was inevitable that he had to be careful.
“Have you been talking too much nonsense recently?” Li Jingran glanced at the butler.
“Yes... I’ll go right away.”
The Butler closed the door of the study and left quickly.
Li Jingran got up impatiently. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out at the night view. His mind was filled with Xu Wanwan’s every frown and smile.
The usually simple and cute girl had always been docile and obedient in front of him.
There must be a reason why she had suddenly become a different person these two days.
At the thought of this, the man’s eyes were unfathomable.
—
The next day, Xu Wanwan made breakfast, packed her school bag, and was about to go to school.
Seeing that she was still not in a good mood, Xu Yuchu could not help but ask, “Sis, what happened between you and Mr. Li?”
He had stayed in his room last night and did not know what had happened outside, but by the time he came out, Li Jingran had already left.
Xu Wanwan paused in her steps and pretended not to care as she packed the things in her hands. “It’s nothing.”
“I’ll stay here for the time being. You don’t have to ask about him anymore.”
After she said that, she put on her backpack. “Alright, I’m going to school now. You should leave early too.”
The door was slammed shut. Xu Yuchu watched her leave and sighed softly.
After muddling through the day, Xu Wanwan brought the revised design drafts to the art gallery.
After Master Nanshan finished looking at her revised works, he said with satisfaction, “It seems that you’ve listened to all the suggestions I gave you last time. There shouldn’t be any problems after the revisions.”
Xu Wanwan finally revealed a smile. “Thank you, Master.”
“But you can’t be too proud.” Master Nanshan held Xu Wanwan’s works and looked at them a few more times. “The overall style of these few designs of yours has changed too much. When you design more in the future, you have to find your own style.”
“But it’s already very good that you can do this in a short period of time. You have to continue to work hard in the future.”
Xu Wanwan nodded seriously. “I will.”
Zhou Lin also held the newly designed work in her hand and stood to the side with a resentful look.
When she saw her Master’s enthusiastic attitude toward Xu Wanwan, she wished she could crush the design in her hand!
It seemed that she had underestimated this little bitch’s abilities. First, she had snatched Li Jingran away, and now, she had won her Master’s approval.
All of this belonged to her. Why should she let this bitch snatch it away!
Zhou Lin forced a smile and handed her design over. “Master, this is the design I prepared for the design competition. I don’t feel very satisfied with it. Please help me take a look.”
Master Nanshan’s eyes darkened. He took the design and glanced at it briefly. “Your standard has always been good. There’s no problem with the design.”
Seeing that her master was so cold to her, Zhou Lin said unwillingly, “Then do you think my design can win the competition on behalf of the Nanshan School?”
