Chapter 244
Li Jingran unhappily took out the remote control at the back of the car and lowered the partition in front of him.
Xu Wanwan did not understand his actions. “Are you going to rest?”
As soon as she finished speaking, her wrist was suddenly pulled and her entire body was pulled into the man’s arms.
Xu Wanwan cried out in surprise. When she looked up and saw the man’s gloomy side profile, her heart suddenly sank.
Li Jingran grabbed the girl’s slender arm and didn’t let her escape. He leaned over to meet her watery eyes and said in a low and hoarse voice, “Wanwan, you’re not good.”
His voice was low and deep. When it fell into one’s ears, it could make one’s legs go weak.
Xu Wanwan felt her whole body go weak. She said weakly, “I... What’s wrong with me?”
“Who allowed you to keep things that other men gave you?”
Xu Wanwan looked down at the scarf and pursed her lips. “But I’m no different from him –”
Before she could finish, the man suddenly leaned over and covered her lips.
Without waiting for Xu Wanwan to explain, Li Jingran vented his dissatisfaction in the most domineering way possible.
Xu Wanwan felt her world spinning. Her hands held tightly onto the man’s clothes behind his back. After an unknown amount of time, Li Jingran slowly let go of his hands until the car stopped.
She could not breathe properly. She was panting slightly and her face was extremely red.
Li Jingran stared at the girl with a deep gaze. “Do you dare to do it again next time?”
Xu Wanwan frowned and her tone unconsciously softened. “Someone gave me a scarf out of kindness. I initially rejected it, but he insisted on giving it to me. What can I Do?”
She was afraid that she had said the wrong thing to upset Li Jingran, so she just told him the truth.
The man looked satisfied. He picked up the scarf in the corner, raised his hand slightly, and threw it out.
“You!”Xu Wanwan said subconsciously, “Why did you throw it away?”
Why did he waste such a good thing?
Li Jingran said lightly, “Since you don’t want it, it’s better to throw it away.”
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. Although she didn’t understand, she didn’t dare to say anything.
When she got home, she took off her coat and planned to go back to her room to do her own things.
“Where did you go this afternoon?”
Just as she walked upstairs, Li Jingran’s cold voice questioned her from behind.
Xu Wanwan stopped in her tracks, and her heartbeat couldn’t help but stop for a moment.
Should she tell him about the meeting with Yang Jiacheng this afternoon?
Even if she didn’t tell him, he might be able to find out.
Xu Wanwan suddenly had no intention of hiding it anymore. She turned around to look at the man and said calmly, “I met my investor and discussed some matters regarding the cooperation.”
She was telling the truth. He wouldn’t make things difficult for her, right?
Li Jingran saw the determination in her eyes and didn’t Dodge, so he let her go. “Okay, I got it.”
Xu Wanwan blinked. “Then I’ll go back to My Room?”
Li Jingran nodded in acquiescence.
Xu Wanwan let out a sigh of relief, turned around and hurried back to her room.
For the next two days, she would find time to meet Yang Jiacheng and confirm the location of the company. All she needed was to recruit employees.
She did not know many people, so Yang Jiacheng took her to various banquets and met many design talents during the banquets.
After leaving her contact information, they could help each other in the future if they needed help.

Walking out of the banquet hall, Yang Jiacheng called Xu Wanwan, “Miss Xu, it’s time to give your company a name.”
“Name?”Xu Wanwan had been busy with other things and had never thought about this before. She immediately tilted her head and thought for a while, then said casually, “Why don’t we call it Zhiyi design company?”
Only by knowing Zhiyi and knowing the customer’s needs could they design a better product.
A hint of surprise flashed across Yang Jiacheng’s eyes, “This name is not bad. It’s decided then.”
“You don’t have to worry about the company’s matters. I will help you settle them and officially open for business at the beginning of next month.”
Xu wanwan nodded, “Okay, I will go back and make some preparations.”
Without waiting for the company to officially open for business, Teng Feng Real Estate’s celebratory banquet began.
Xu Wanwan originally planned to go back early after school to change her clothes before attending the banquet, but the last class was professor Chen’s class, so it was delayed.
She kept looking at the time. It was already past five o’clock. She was afraid that it would be too late to leave after she rushed home and changed her clothes.
Lin Jiannan lowered her voice and said, “What’s wrong? Are you busy later?”
“Yeah, I’m going to attend a banquet tonight. It’s going to be too late.”Xu Wanwan was a little anxious, but professor Chen was still talking enthusiastically on the podium. No one dared to interrupt his mood at this time.
“What’s The Big Deal? Isn’t your director Li on good terms with Professor Chen? Just tell the professor. It’ll definitely be fine.”
Xu Wanwan said calmly, “Forget it. It’s okay to wait a little longer.”
“What are you waiting for? The banquet is such an important matter. It’s not good if you’re late. At most, I’ll help you talk to her.”
“Don’t –”
Without waiting for Xu Wanwan to stop him, Lin Jiannan raised his hand and stood up. “Professor, Xu Wanwan is not feeling well. Can you ask her to go back and rest earlier?”
Only then did professor Chen close his book and push up his glasses as he walked down from the podium. “What’s Wrong?”
Xu Wanwan’s face flushed red.
She had no intention of lying at all. Seeing that Professor Chen had already walked up to her, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and put on an uncomfortable expression. “Professor, my stomach hurts...”
Professor Chen’s face darkened. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Bear with it for a while. I’ll call Li Jingran right now and ask him to come pick you up.”
“No need to trouble you. I can go back by myself!”Xu Wanwan hurriedly stopped him when she heard that.
“How can you go back by yourself when you’re sick?”Professor Chen’s face darkened. He immediately dialed a number and walked out of the classroom.
Even from a distance, Xu Wanwan could hear professor Chen’s unyielding voice —
“Li Jingran, quickly drop what you’re doing and come to the school. Your Girl isn’t feeling well.”
“Come here quickly, do you hear me? !”
Xu Wanwan took a deep breath and closed her eyes tightly.
She was really done for this time.
Lin Jiannan came over with a smile. “How is it? Isn’t my move great?”
Xu Wanwan forced a smile and said, “But I’m sick now. Do you think Li Jingran will still let me attend the banquet?”
Could it be that she had to tell Li Jingran that she was lying to him?
Then, she lied to him because she was worried that she would be late for the banquet.
Xu Wanwan didn’t dare to think about what she would face later, so she could only mutter to Lin Jiannan, “It doesn’t matter if I’m late at first, but now that I’m cured, I can’t pretend to be sick. I can’t not pretend.”
“Li Jingran doesn’t know that I’m going to the banquet at all. If he knew that I pretended to be sick just for this matter, he would definitely be angry.”
Lin Jiannan was also stunned. “Wanwan... I’m sorry, I didn’t know that it was like this.”
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. Thinking that Lin Jiannan also had good intentions, she could only let out a muffled sigh. “Forget it, it has already happened.”
