Chapter 249: Chapter 249 you have me now
Xu Wanwan was still leaning against the man’s firm chest. Her small face was flushed red as she said very seriously, “I’ll tell you wherever I go in the future, Okay?”
Li Jingran’s thin lips curved slightly as he said without batting an eyelid, “Okay.”
“Then can you not be angry anymore?”
Li Jingran did not answer. He turned his hand around and hugged the girl’s slender waist. He suddenly got up, hugged her, and placed her on the bed.
The man’s well-defined fingers climbed onto the collar of his shirt and slowly unbuttoned the first button. He looked at the girl on the bed with a smile that was not a smile. “It depends on your performance.”
Xu Wanwan was shocked. She had a bad feeling. Just as she was about to escape, she was grabbed back by the man behind her.
She was pinned to the bed by him. She could not move, and her breathing was rapid and messy.
Li Jingran looked at her with tenderness in his eyes. He whispered into her ear, “Be good, go to sleep.”
Xu Wanwan opened her eyes in a daze and planted a kiss on her forehead.
The lights in the room were turned off. In the dark night, the man only hugged her tightly and did not do anything else.
Only then did she feel at ease. She lay in his warm embrace and gradually fell asleep.
She did not know how much time had passed. In her half-asleep state, she dreamed that she had returned to her previous life.
During those dark and rotten days, she was locked in the basement of the Xu family. She endured the endless criticism from father and mother Xu, and her cold words, which were like knives, bit by bit, cut through her heart.
The cold swept through her entire body, and the collapsing feeling filled every inch of her heart. She only felt cold, cold, and the pain and bitterness continued to spread..
“Oh... No!”
She suddenly cried out and sat up in fear. Facing the darkness, she panted heavily.
Li Jingran frowned and woke up. He stood up and hugged the girl, his voice full of concern. “Did you have a nightmare?”
Xu Wanwan calmed down for a long time before she realized where she was.
Her eyes were wet, and she subconsciously held Li Jingran’s hand tightly. Only when she felt the real touch did she feel at ease.
“Yes.”Xu Wanwan felt the warmth in her palm. “I dreamt of the past.”
Li Jingran’s eyes darkened. There was a hint of pity and pity in his eyes.
He turned on the lights and the room instantly lit up.
The girl in front of him had slightly messy hair. Her clear and Bright Eyes were shrouded in mist. The tip of her nose was red like a frightened deer
How could Li Jingran not feel sorry for her.
He hugged her and said in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid.”
Xu Wanwan did not reject the man’s embrace. She needed such a hug in many helpless moments.
But she did not do it in the past.
She lay in the man’s strong arms and tilted her head slightly. Although she knew that this was only a dream and that the things that happened in the dream would never happen again, she still felt sad in her heart.
She could not help but feel sour and bitter in her heart.
“Can you talk to me?”She sniffed gently and said in a very low voice.
Like book was afraid that he would refuse. After she said that, she quietly held his arm and did not say a word.
Li Jingran’s low and hoarse voice sounded above her head. “Yes.”
“If you want to say something, just say it.”
Xu Wanwan lowered her eyes and covered the tears in her eyes. “Actually, I didn’t have a good life when I was young.”
“When I was in the countryside, no one loved me. I was used to being independent and strong. I knew that I couldn’t rely on anyone. I could only rely on myself.”
“When I was dreaming, I dreamt that I was back to my old days. Although I’ve gotten rid of the Xu family now, I can’t get rid of the shadow they left on me...”
It was a subtle feeling to tell another person what she had hidden deep in her heart.
Xu Wanwan didn’t intend to tell anyone, but Li Jingran was the person she trusted the most.
Li Jingran patted the girl’s back and said lightly, “Don’t think so much. You have me now.”
Xu Wanwan felt that this feeling was very reassuring.
It was so reassuring that she couldn’t believe it.
“What About You? How have you been in the past?”She turned to face the man and asked seriously, “Has anyone bullied you? Are you happy every day?”
She also wanted to know about Li Jingran’s past and whether he was doing well before he met her.
She also wanted to know if a rich man like him would have troubles.
Li Jingran chuckled. “Of course I have troubles too.”
Xu Wanwan listened quietly.
He said, “I went abroad to study when I was six years old and didn’t return until I was sixteen. I studied business in China and took over the entire Li Corporation when I was eighteen.”
“I didn’t have a childhood, no playmates, and I couldn’t understand the happiness of my peers. I didn’t seem to have any troubles, but I lived a monotonous life.”
He didn’t deliberately exaggerate his emotions, but Xu Wanwan could hear a deep sense of helplessness.
Yes, he was already working hard for the family business at an age where he should be carefree.
She hugged the man and said seriously, “I won’t in the future. You’ll be happier in the future.”
“Huh?”
Xu Wanwan lowered her head and her face was a little red. “Li Jingran, I’m very lucky to have met you.”
“So –”
She paused and said firmly, “So I’ll make you happier too.”
Li Jingran hugged the girl and kissed her forehead.
He kissed her from her cheek to her neck and kept moving. His breath was especially hot. “How can I Be Happier? Like This?”
“No...”Xu Wanwan struggled quickly. “You can’t do this. Don’t make my neck red. I have to go to school tomorrow!”
Before she could say anything, her neck was already covered in red marks.
In the end, Li Jingran only kissed her affectionately. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you from now on.”
Xu Wanwan nodded and fell asleep peacefully leaning on the man.

“Wanwan, the heater in the classroom is turned on so well. Why are you wearing a scarf?”Lin Jiannan looked at her best friend with a puzzled face. Seeing that the scarf she was wearing was particularly thick, she really didn’t understand.
Xu Wanwan was stunned. She suddenly remembered the series of things that happened last night.
She cleared her throat and pulled the scarf tighter without changing her expression. She covered it even more tightly. “Well... I’ve caught a cold recently. I want to wear more.”
“You have to take medicine when you catch a cold. Wearing too much will cause you to get sick.”Lin Jiannan sighed lightly. “You too. Why are you trying to force yourself to come to school when you have a cold? Do you have a fever?”
As she spoke, she leaned forward and touched Xu Wanwan’s forehead.
“Fortunately, I don’t have a fever –”
Halfway through her words, her gaze completely froze. She stared at the red mark on Xu Wanwan’s face, and her expression instantly became meaningful.
“DAMN! Aren’t you and Big CEO Li Too Intense?”
Xu Wanwan was completely stunned.
When she woke up in the morning and looked in the mirror, she found that there were many ambiguous marks on her body, so she specially used a scarf to cover it up.
But how did Lin Jiannan discover it?
“No wonder you have to wear a scarf today...”Lin Jiannan instantly understood that she couldn’t look directly at the scarf on Xu Wanwan’s neck now, because there must be something hidden inside.
Xu Wanwan smiled awkwardly. “Uh, things are not what you think. I really caught a cold.”
