Xu Wanwan took a deep breath and remained calm. Facing the unfriendly gazes and rumors, she handed the two proof reports in her hands to Li Jingran.

“Hmm?” Li Jingran was not impatient. He wanted to know what this girl wanted to do.

Xu Wanwan’s eyes were firm. “I have the proof reports here, which can prove that the future development value of this land is very low. Can you reconsider?”

A hint of surprise flashed across Li Jingran’s eyes. He had not expected her to dare to say such things in public.

However, it was a good thing to have an idea. He nodded and accepted the proof report she gave him. “Okay, I’ll consider it properly.”

Xu Wanwan was worried that he was just perfunctory. She gently held her hand and reminded him carefully, “It won’t take long. Remember to read it.”

She looked serious and nervous, which made Li Jingran take her seriously. He said calmly, “Don’t worry, I’ll take a look.”

Xu Wanwan finally let out a sigh of relief and then left in peace.

After the meeting, the higher-ups of the company had a lot of opinions about Xu Wanwan, and they all complained.

“Why do I feel that the little girl is a little confused? Although she has a relationship with Director Li, her hands are stretching a little too far.”

“That’s right. That piece of land near the coast will definitely have great commercial value in the future. I don’t know how much benefit it will bring to the company. If she doesn’t understand anything, it will only cause more trouble.”

“I think Director Li still understands in his heart. This project has a bright future and is related to the future development of the company. No matter how much Director Li likes her, he won’t listen to her.”

When Xu Wanwan returned to her job, she seemed to feel the unfriendly gazes from all directions.

She was a little depressed. It just so happened that her period came and she had a stomachache. She was not in the mood to work, so she simply laid on the table to rest.

Although her body was much better under the protection of Li Jingran, her ability to withstand minor injuries and pain was still much worse than ordinary people.

Just as she was about to lie down and fall asleep, someone knocked on the table and a voice was heard—

“Team Leader Xu, are you okay?”

Zheng Feng was holding a document in his hand and was about to look for Xu Wanwan. When he saw her lying on the table listlessly, he could not help but worry.

Xu Wanwan woke up in a daze. She rubbed her eyes and shook her head at Zheng Feng. “I’m fine...”

“Are you not feeling well?” Zheng Feng could not help but ask when he saw her pale face. “You can put aside your work for now. Your health is the most important.”

Xu Wanwan nodded. “Yes, I know. I’m just a little sleepy. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”

“Why are you looking for me?”

Zheng Feng wanted to say something but hesitated. He could only pass the report in his hand to her. “I’ve compiled this. I want you to see if there are any problems.”

“Okay, let me take a look.” Xu Wanwan endured the overwhelming pain in her stomach and forced herself to finish reading the report. She said calmly, “There are no problems. You’ve done well.”

“Team Leader Xu, why don’t you go to the hospital for a check-up?” Zheng Feng could not help but remind her when he took back the report.

“Okay, you go and do your work first.”

She really did not have much energy to talk. She just wanted to lie down for a while more.

Zheng Feng saw that she could not do it this way. After a while, he brought a glass of water and placed it in front of her. “Drink some hot water.”

Xu Wanwan looked up at him and forced a smile. “Thank you.”

Li Jingran was standing not far from the Internship Department and saw Zheng Feng standing in front of Xu Wan.

His eyes darkened, and he strode over. He looked at Zheng Feng coldly. “Why are you running around during office hours?”

“Li... Director Li, I just noticed that Team Leader Xu is not feeling well. I’m a little worried about her.”

“Do you need to be concerned about her?” There was a hint of jealousy in his tone. He then looked at Xu Wanwan and became nervous.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you were not feeling well?”

Xu Wanwan lowered her head and covered her stomach with one hand. She shook her head. “I’m fine...”

She was just on her period. Wouldn’t it be a little pretentious to tell him such a small thing?

Li Jingran looked down at the girl from above. He raised her delicate chin and observed her expression.

The girl was sweating, her big eyes were misty, and her lips were pale.

He immediately frowned. “You’re already like this, and you still say you’re fine!”

Without waiting for Xu Wanwan to explain, Li Jingran grabbed her slender arm. “Let’s go to the hospital.”

Xu Wanwan was anxious. She subconsciously wanted to break free from the man’s restraint, but her body was too weak. With just a little effort, she could not stand properly.

Li Jingran’s big palm held her waist firmly, and his tone became more serious. “Don’t move.”

Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. Seeing that the man was a little angry, she could only keep quiet and follow him obediently.

But she really did not want to go to the hospital. When she walked to the president’s office, she suddenly stopped walking and said softly, “I’m afraid to go to the hospital... it should be fine after a short rest.”

Li Jingran asked in a low voice, “Afraid?”

“Yes, I’m afraid of injections...” Xu Wanwan made up an excuse casually. “I also hate the smell of the hospital’s disinfectant. Let’s not go to the hospital, okay?”

Li Jingran sighed in his heart and compromised. “Then go to my office and lie down.”

Xu Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief. Without thinking too much, she pushed open the door of Li Jingran’s office and went in.

After she left, Li Jingran immediately called a private doctor. “Come to the company as soon as possible.”

After hanging up, he pushed open the door and entered the office. Seeing Xu Wanwan sitting on the sofa obediently, his tense mood eased slightly.

He called Secretary Lin again. “Pour a cup of hot water and prepare a blanket to send in.”

A few minutes later, Secretary Lin knocked on the door with a cup of water in one hand and a blanket in the other. Her eyes were filled with doubt. “Director Li, I’ve prepared what you asked for.”

“Okay.” Li Jingran temporarily put down his work and looked back. “Take it to the back.”

Secretary Lin then saw Xu Wanwan who was curled up in the corner of the sofa. She quickly took the things over and asked with concern, “Little Xu, what happened to you?”

“Nothing.” Xu Wanwan smiled slightly. “Thank you for your concern.”

Secretary Lin could not help but shake her head when she left.

He even said that there was nothing wrong. Director Li looked so worried.

Just as she left, the private doctor arrived with all kinds of medicine boxes.

A young doctor in a white coat rushed in and said in a bad mood, “Li Jingran, what’s wrong with you?”

“Song Qingchen, close the door.” Li Jingran stood up and glanced at him coldly.

“I’m not saying this, but I rushed here without stopping when you gave the order. But you don’t seem to be in pain, as if nothing happened. Isn’t this a waste of my time?”

Li Jingran walked toward Xu Wanwan and explained calmly, “Let’s see what’s wrong with her.”

Song Qingchen followed him. When he saw the girl sitting on the sofa, he took out his testing tools and asked, “Is she an employee of your company?”
