Translator: Dragon Boat TranslationEditor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xu Wanwan got into the car and prudently said, “Can you take me to the hospital?”
“You still want to see your younger brother?” Li Xuyi glanced at her. “They’ve already treated you like that. Is there still a need to see him?”
He rode at a speed of 30 miles per hour, neither too fast nor too slow.
In a calm voice, Xu Wanwan said, “Although I’ve cut ties with them, Xu Yuchu is also innocent. I can’t just stand by and watch him get bullied.”
At this point, a hint of worry flashed across her eyes.
The person who had caused Xu Yuchu harm had not been revealed yet, so how could she feel at ease?
“I think you’re just too soft-hearted. Anyway, they didn’t treat you as their biological daughter. If I were you, I wouldn’t go back.”
Xu Wanwan argued with him, “But you’re also a human. Since you’re a human being, you can’t get rid of worldly ties.”
“I’m not that stupid,” Li Xuyi scoffed.
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips and did not argue with him anymore.
Anyway, such a thing hasn’t happened to him yet, so he could just stand there and say whatever he wanted.
“By the way, didn’t you go and become a disciple? How did it turn out?”
“Ah?”
Xu Wanwan was stunned. “How did you know?”
“Do you think I’m cut off from the world? There are so many news articles online. It’s not like I don’t know about Master Nanshan recently accepting disciples at the art museum.”
“Hurry up and tell me the results. Don’t keep me in suspense.”
Xu Wanwan did not want to tell him so early. “Then do you think I’ve been chosen?”
“Oh, you want me to guess?” The corner of Li Xuyi’s lips twitched slightly. He then made an analysis carefully and said, “I guess it didn’t work out. You don’t seem to be very happy.”
“But not being chosen is also within expectations. After all, there are quite a lot of people who want to be the master’s disciple this time. There’s no need for you to be unhappy over this matter.”
Xu Wanwan nodded. “You’re right, I won’t be unhappy about this.”
“Because I’ve been chosen.”
“What!?”
This time, it was Li Xuyi’s turn to be surprised. “You’re an all-rounder? Not only are you good with computers, but you also know something about art?”
“How can I be an all-rounder?” Xu Wanwan asked seriously. “For example, you can ride a motorcycle, but I can’t.”
Li Xuyi’s interest was piqued. “That’s easy, I’ll teach you some other day.”
“Okay!” Xu Wanwan agreed quickly and then softened her tone. “Then now, can you please take me to the hospital?”
“Treat me to a meal.”
The corners of Xu Wanwan’s lips curved. “No problem!”
Li Xuyi sped up and took Xu Wanwan to the hospital in just a short while.
She got out of the car and ran into the hospital, not noticing the people following behind her.
She walked all the way to the ward where Xu Yuchu was. When she saw Li Jingran, Xu Wanwan’s heart that was in a knot slowly calmed down.
She walked over slowly. “Is my brother okay?”
After asking this question, Xu Wanwan held her breath and blinked slightly, afraid of hearing a bad answer.
Li Jingran’s eyes softened. “He’s okay.”
Xu Wanwan finally let out a sigh of relief and smiled. “Thank you for helping me.”
“Shouldn’t you be thanking me more?” Li Xuyi walked over from behind the two of them and said carelessly.
Li Jingran’s expression darkened. “Why are you here?”
“I sent her back, can’t I still be here?” Li Xuyi said deliberately.
Li Jingran’s mood turned cold. “This is not a place for you to stay. Get out!”
“I just sent Wanwan here,” Li Xuyi said and turned to look at Xu Wanwan. “Call me anytime if you need anything in the future.”
Xu Wanwan, who did not realize the smell of gunpowder in the air, nodded with a smile. “Okay! I’ll treat you to a meal next time!”
Li Xuyi waved his hand and strode away.
Xu Wanwan finally let out a sigh of relief and was about to ask Li Jingran a question when she noticed that the man’s face was tense and his thin lips were pursed. He did not look very happy.
She hesitated for a moment and lowered her head guiltily.
He must be angry.
After all, she had said before that she wanted to leave the Xu family alone. However, these past few times, not only did she meddle in other people’s business, she even asked him to help her.
He would definitely be unhappy if she kept on doing that.
Therefore, Xu Wanwan held back the words that she wanted to say again and sat alone on the side in silence.
The two of them looked at each other without talking, and time dragged on endlessly.
Xu Wanwan felt that the atmosphere was particularly depressing, so she got up and went to the bathroom.
When she came out, her wrist was suddenly pulled to a point that her feet got lifted as she was flung into a warm embrace.
A gust of hot air blew into her ears. Li Jingran’s low and hoarse voice was heard. “Why didn’t you look for me when something happened?”
Xu Wanwan’s eyes widened, feeling quite confused. “What did you say?”
“When something happened, why didn’t you contact me?” Li Jingran repeated in a low voice.
She actually asked Li Xuyi for help. Did he think that he was not capable enough to protect her?
“I did call you.” Xu Wanwan wanted to break free from the man’s embrace, but as she used a bit of strength, it was as if she was merely tickling him. She could only give up, “And you’ve come to the hospital to help me
look after Xu Yuchu. For me, this kind of help is the best.”
Li Jingran said coldly, “Then why did you call for Li Xuyi?”
h, I was in a hurry to go somewhere, so I wanted to trouble him to give me a ride.”
Li Jingran’s long and narrow eyes squinted slightly, his hand on the girl’s waist deepening a little as if he was punishing her.
“Miss Xu, do you think that I am not capable of sending you off?”
“No!” Xu Wanwan immediately denied it. “The main point is that you’ve already gone to the hospital to help me, ah.”
She couldn’t let him turn into a three-headed six-armed man, who had to take care of the hospital’s matters and even had to send her off from the hospital.
Li Jingran still felt unhappy. “If you have any needs, you should tell me, not find someone else.”
Xu Wanwan frowned slightly. Although she didn’t know why, she didn’t dare to ask again.
Because she could already feel that the man was quite angry.
She compromised, saying in a soft voice, “Okay, I know. I won’t do it again next time.”
“Don’t be angry with me again, okay?”
Li Jingran wanted to teach her a lesson, but she admitted her mistake in a good manner. His heart softened, and he slowly let go of her.
“Remember that.”
His voice was serious, but there was a hint of doting in it. “What if you dare to do it again next time?”
Xu Wanwan blinked and said with a smile, “There won’t be a next time!”
After all, she was already used to Li Jingran’s presence. Whenever she encountered something, the first thing she would think of was him.
On the way back, Xu Wanwan sighed lightly and said truthfully, “Actually, when I found out that Xu Yuchu was in a car accident, I panicked a lot and didn’t know what to do.”
“Although I said on the surface that I’m cutting my ties with the Xu family, Xu Yuchu is still innocent. I couldn’t bear it.”.
