Translator: Dragon Boat TranslationEditor: Dragon Boat Translation
‘As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw two familiar figures walking in front of her.
Xu Wanwan and Li Xuyi were walking toward the ward. The two of them were in a hurry and looking anxious.
Zhou Lin hid behind a pillar and stared at Xu Wanwan’s back, her eyes narrowing unkindly.
Hmph, Xu Wanwan still dared to come to the hospital at this time.
Wasn’t she afraid that Li Jingran’s parents would kick her out?
Zhou Lin’s lips curled into a cold smile. She turned around and walked out of the hospital. She made a call. “Check Xu Wanwan’s contact information for me.”
Li Xuyi rushed to the ward in a hurry. When he saw Father Li lying weakly on the bed, he couldn’t help but frown. “Dad, what happened to you?!”
Father Li’s gaze was fixed on Xu Wanwan. He remembered seeing her at the old residence and said coldly, “Who told her to come?!”
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips slightly. She could feel the coldness from Father Li even from a distance.
She carefully walked forward and said in a soft voice, “Hello, Uncle. I heard that you were sick and wanted to see you.”
She had seen Father Li when she went to the old mansion. Although they did not like her at that time, they were still Li Jingran’s parents after all.
Therefore, she had to show them respect.
She was having dinner with Li Xuyi at home just now when she received a phone call. When she heard that Father Li was sick, she did not think too much about it and directly followed Li Xuyi to the hospital.
But now she was a little regretful
Father Li and Mother Li did not seem to like her very much.
Li Xuyi could also see Father Li’s emotions. He stood in front of Xu Wanwan and explained, “She is my friend. She came to see you out of kindness.”
“What kind of kindness is that!” Father Li said unhappily. “I think she came here to anger me on purpose!”
Mother Li glared at Xu Wanwan resentfully and said in a bad tone, “Hmph, we felt sorry for you and agreed to let you stay at Jingran’s house, but who would have thought that a little vixen like you would dare to seduce him?”
“Let me tell you, Li Jingran is going to marry someone sooner or later. If you know what’s good for you, you should cut off your contact with him as soon as possible.”
Xu Wanwan stood quietly in the ward, listening to the sharp criticism around her. She felt a throbbing pain in her heart somewhere.
She gave a slight and forced smile only after a while. “Auntie, you misunderstood my relationship with Mr. Li.”
“Tm very grateful that he kept me in the Li family, but I know the rules. I won’t pester him.”
She straightened her back and said in a voice that was neither servile nor overbearing, “Auntie, I’ve already moved out of the Li family. There’s no other reason for me to come here today. I just wanted to visit Uncle.”
Father Li’s attitude became slightly better after hearing that. He said in a deep voice, “Alright, you can go back now! You’re not welcome here!”
Li Xuyi couldn’t stand it anymore. “Dad, don’t say too much. She’ll leave soon.”
“Li Xuyi, why do you have to speak up for her?” Mother Li put on airs and said seriously, “Your father’s condition hasn’t stabilized yet, don’t anger him.”
After that, Mother Li gave Xu Wanwan an impatient look. “You should go. Don’t appear in front of us again.”
“And you can’t appear in front of Li Jingran. He and you will never be together!”
Xu Wanwan gripped her clothes with her fingers, her fingertips digging into her flesh. She relied on the pain of being squeezed to hide the pain in her heart.
“Okay, I got it.”
She turned around calmly and walked out of the ward steadily.
Li Xuyi was about to chase after her when his mother called out sternly, “Li Xuyi! Stay with your father.”
Xu Wanwan walked quickly. She opened the door of the ward and unexpectedly crashed into a firm chest.
Her back was tightly caught by a pair of big hands, and her ears heard the steady heartbeat of the man. She was suddenly surrounded by something warm.
Li Jingran looked at the snow-white wall. His eyes were red as he embraced the girl in his arms tightly. Although he was not saying anything, he seemed to want to completely merge the other person into his body using the power in his hands.
Xu Wanwan frowned slightly. She smelled the familiar scent of the man. Her nose ached and hot tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
Li Jingran held the back of her head with his big palm and said in a low voice, “Don’t go.”
Xu Wanwan’s heart was filled with pain. She took a deep breath. At such a time, she actually missed this warm feeling.
But this warmth didn’t belong to her.
Staying in his arms for one more second was an extreme luxury.
It was useless to force something that didn’t belong to her.
Xu Wanwan hardened her heart and pushed the man away. She held back the tears in her eyes and coldly looked at the man in front of her coldly.
“This is the hospital, please behave yourself.”
Li Jingran’s eyes were deep and dark. He stared at the girl in front of him and said in a hoarse voice, “I know you’ve been wronged, but you have to believe me. I’ll take care of these things.”
At such a critical moment, he had to put off the idea of breaking off the engagement.
But how could he make Xu Wanwan believe that he had never had another woman in his heart?
If she was willing to stay, he was willing to keep a distance from all women.
Even he himself did not expect that only after nine months together, he would actually be used to this girl’s presence.
Therefore, he did not want to let her go.
He just wanted to keep her by his side, that was all.
Xu Wanwan took a deep breath. She felt guilty and stopped looking into the man’s eyes. She lowered her eyes and stared at the ground. “I’m living well now. After leaving you, I can try living a new life.”
“So, I don’t want you to continue pestering me.”
‘The more Xu Wanwan said, the more determined her tone became. “I know you’re very good to me, but we don’t have a relationship, and you have no right to keep me.”
After she finished speaking in one breath, she seemed to have used all her strength. Without waiting for Li Jingran’s reply, she turned around and left.
After taking two steps, her wrist was pulled by a strong force.
Her whole body was pulled back. Li Jingran raised her arms and pressed her against the wall, leaning down and blocking her way. He gritted his teeth and said, “Xu Wanwan, don’t be willful.”
“Tm not being willful!” Xu Wanwan could no longer control the overflowing emotions in her heart. Feeling agitated, she raised her voice. “Even if I continue to stay in the Li family, it’s not right in other people’s eyes.’
“You’re going to marry someone sooner or later, aren’t you? It’s not appropriate for me to stay in your house!”
Li Jingran’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Why did you say it’s not appropriate now?”
“Because—” Xu Wanwan paused, lowered her eyes, and closed them to hide the surging emotions in her eyes. “Your fiancée is back, and your father is sick. Your mother doesn’t agree.”
“Isn’t this enough?”
Her gaze became calmer, and the emotions in her heart were stirred up even more.
“I told you, these problems will be solved sooner or later.” Li Jingran stared at the girl with deep eyes and explained patiently, “Sooner or later.”
“I don’t want to wait..”
