Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xu Wanwan looked at the man in a neat suit sitting on the tall motorcycle, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes!
He was all ascetic and cool, but at this moment, he looked wild when riding a bike.
The combination of two completely different feelings would always make people’s eyes light up.
Xu Wanwan got into the man’s bike obediently and whispered, “Where are we going?”
“Hold me tight.”
Li Jingran did not answer her question and only said these three words.
Xu Wanwan’s eyes widened for a bit, and her face also turned red.
Hold… hold him tight?
She said in a low voice, “I can sit properly. Forget it…”
She felt that their relationship was already ambiguous and easy for people to misunderstand. If she were to hug him again, wouldn’t it be even more outrageous?
Li Jingran’s eyes darkened. He suddenly tightened the accelerator and the motorcycle sped away at the fastest speed.
Xu Wanwan could not help but cry out in surprise, wrapping her arms around the man’s waist defenselessly as her entire body was forced to stick close to him under the force of inertia.
Li Jingran felt the heat coming from behind him. His thin lips curved slightly, but he did not slow down.
The bike was ridden on the road at night, and the streetlights on both sides of the road were like a continuous river. The sound of the motorcycle mixed with the wind could shatter one’s eardrums.
Xu Wanwan could not move her body at all. She could only hug the man’s waist tightly.
The faster the speed, the wilder the sound of the wind became.
Xu Wanwan inexplicably felt very relaxed. She was wearing a helmet and leaning against the man’s sturdy back. Looking at the flickering lights in the tunnel, she suddenly wanted to make this moment last forever.
The motorcycle passed through the streets of the city and finally stopped near a small hill in the suburbs.
She jumped out of the bike and looked up at the stars in the sky, saying in surprise, “I didn’t expect to see so many stars here.”
In the inky blue night sky were dotted with many stars. The moonlight was as still as it should be as it shone on a narrow path,
Li Jingran casually took off his coat and draped it over the girl’s thin shoulders. “Are you cold?”
“I’m not cold!” The corners of Xu Wanwan’s lips curved slightly, and she grabbed the man’s arm.
“Let’s find a small hill to look at the stars, shall we?”
Under the moonlight, the girl’s eyes sparkled, and her eyes were exceptionally clear.
Li Jingran grabbed her wrist. “Let’s go.”
The path to the small hill was a little slippery, but Xu Wanwan held the man’s arm tightly and allowed him to bring her up the hill. She did not feel afraid at all.
They walked all the way to the highest peak before Li Jingran stopped and turned to look at the girl.
Xu Wanwam stared at the night sky and suddenly saw a bright light streaking across the sky.
“There’s a shooting star!”
She had heard since she was a child that she could make a wish whenever a shooting star passed by.
She quickly closed her eyes. In her panic, she did not have time to think about it and simply made a wish that was related to Li Jingran.
Her small voice silently chanted in her heart, firm and serious——
“I hope that Li Jingran is safe and healthy, and I can always stay by his side.”
For the current her, she was already very dependent on him.
In her heart, she could only feel safe with Li Jingran around.
In the past, she did it to get lucky, but now she felt that even if Li Jingran wasn’t the son of Fate, she was willing to stay by his side.
A cold wind blew past. Li Jingran looked sideways at the girl beside him.
She raised her head and put her palms together, facing the night sky. Her eyes were full of piety.
At this moment, his heart was suddenly touched.
He had never believed these ridiculous rumors, but tonight, he wished that Xu Wanwan would be very happy forever.
When they went back, Xu Wanwan wore Li Jingran’s loose coat. She hugged the man’s waist tightly, feeling safe and warm.
After walking for a while, she felt a little sleepy. She yawned slowly, leaned against him, and gradually closed her eyes.
When they reached the Li family home, Li Jingran saw that the girl behind him did not move. He frowned slightly and turned sideways to take a look.
Xu Wanwan’s face, which was hidden under the helmet, was calm. Her long eyelashes covered her fair cheeks, and she was sleeping soundly.
He helplessly helped her up, got out of the car, and carried her back to her room.
The next day, when Xu Wanwan woke up, it took her a long time to remember the series of events that had happened yesterday,
She suddenly sat up from the bed and looked at the pajamas she had changed into. Her eyes instantly widened!
She remembered that she had watched the stars on the hill last night. Why was she now lying on her own bed and had even changed into close-fitting clothes? A bad thought suddenly appeared in Xu Wanwan’s mind.
Could it be that Li Jingran had changed her clothes?
Just thinking about it made her cheeks flush red.
No, she had to ask him about it!
Xu Wanwan quickly got out of bed, put on a coat, and walked out.
When she went downstairs, she saw Li Jingran sitting in the hall from afar. He seemed to be discussing something with Secretary Lin.
Xu Wanwan took a few steps closer and accidentally overheard their conversation.
“Director Li, you sent someone to invite Master Nanshan to design a project before, but they were rejected. The outside world is now fighting for this bonus, but it’s a pity that Master Nanshan is not so easy to get.”
Li Jingran said calmly, “How’s the progress of the company that the outside world is fighting with us for?”
“Don’t worry about that. We can’t hire them, and the outside world still can’t hire them. It’s just that the Zhou Group is also fighting for this project.”
Secretary Lin said worriedly, “According to our investigation, Miss Zhou is Master Nanshan’s disciple. I’m afraid that this project will be taken over by the Zhou family.”
“Director Li, do you think there’s still a need for us to fight for it?”
Li Jingran frowned slightly. He thought of the scene where he had a meal with Master Nanshan yesterday.
Master Nanshan maintained a conniving attitude even when Zhou Lin was so impudent at the table again.
Zhou Lin had always been a woman with means. She would do anything to achieve her goal.
If he were to continue fighting against her, it would be much better to invest the time into another project.
“Pass down the order. There’s no need to get involved in this project anymore.”
It was only a project worth a few hundred million. It was not very big, so there was no harm in giving it to the Zhou family.
Secretary Lin nodded. “Yes, I’ll inform them right away.”
“Wait a moment!”
After listening to their conversation, Xu Wanwan walked up a few steps and mustered up her courage to look at Li Jingran. “Can you not give up so quickly? I want to give it a try.”
A hint of surprise appeared in Li Jingran’s eyes. He pondered for a moment but did not immediately agree.
Secretary Lin was shocked.
She even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, so she tried to persuade her, “Miss Xu, you may not know this, but it’s very difficult to invite Master Nanshan. Most of the employees we sent out have extremely high EQ. They have years of negotiation experience, but none of them have succeeded.”
“You’re still studying at school, and you don’t have the time and energy to waste on this matter. You should think about it carefully.”
Li Jingran also said, “It’s not easy. You shouldn’t do it.”
He didn’t want to see Xu Wanwan work so hard for the Li Corporation.
“No, I want to try!”
