Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xu Zhongyi was really panicking now. He quickly gave Xu Yue a look and said in a low voice, “Go and call your sister out.”
None of them had expected that Li Jingran would do so much for Xu Wanwan.
Sun Yuelan felt guilty and knew she was in the wrong. She immediately changed her expression. “Director Li, you’re being too harsh. Since you like Wanwan so much, we’ll just let you have her. Why do you have to go to such lengths to shed all pretenses with us?”
“How about this, we won’t look for Wanwan in the future. You can resume your cooperation with the Xu family.”
“You’re not worthy of negotiating terms with me,” Li Jingran said coldly.
Sun Yuelan saw that he did not appreciate her kindness at all and had no other choice. Her face immediately fell.
Xu Yue was walking on the road to the basement with a guilty conscience.
Looking at Li Jingran’s attitude, even her parents did not dare to provoke him. What if Xu Wanwan complained?
Xu Yue gave the bodyguard a look. “You guys take her out.”
She had to find a place to hide so that she would not suffer later.
Xu Wanwan had fainted on the ground. In her daze, she felt someone pulling her up. She was very afraid and wanted to resist, but she could not muster any strength.
The bodyguard did not know what had happened. He dragged Xu Wanwan out in an extremely rude manner…
When Li Jingran saw the unconscious girl being violently dragged in front of him, his eyes turned red. He got up and kicked the bodyguard.
His heart clenched. He picked up the girl on the ground with extremely gentle movements, but he was scalded by the burning skin under her wet clothes.
He reached out to touch her forehead, and his heart tightened even more.
How could she be so hot!
He frowned and glared at Xu Zhongyi with bloodshot eyes. “If anything happens to Wanwan, I won’t let you go!”
Xu Zhongyi was also confused. “What are you talking about? As her father, would I harm her?”
Li Jingran did not have time to settle the score with Xu Zhongyi. He hugged the girl in his arms tightly and turned to run outside.
“Go to the hospital, Quick!”
The car left the Xu family home at the fastest speed and went straight to the downtown hospital.
Li Jingran carried the unconscious girl in his arms and nervously sent her to the consultation room.
“Doctor, quickly see what’s wrong with her!”
The doctor took Xu Wanwan’s temperature and measured her blood pressure. He said, “The patient must have caught a wind chill and had a high fever. I’m prescribing her a fever reduction injection. You should take her for an injection first.”
Li Jingran’s heart tightened. He did not dare to imagine what Xu Wanwan had experienced last night.
—
Drip, drip, drip—
Xu Wanwan’s ears were filled with this sound. Her breathing trembled slightly. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the white ceiling. It took her a long time to react.
There was a strong smell of disinfectant between her breaths, and her arm was stuck with a needle.
Was she in the hospital?
“You’re awake?” A cold and magnetic voice sounded.
Xu Wanwan followed the familiar voice and looked to the side—
Li Jingran was leaning against the chair idly. His long legs were crossed, his coat half-open, and the buttons on his shirt were loose.
He looked much more haggard, the bottom of his eyes a greenish-gray hue. There seemed to be a shadow of stubble on his face.
Xu Wanwan opened her eyes and stared at Li Jingran very seriously, as if she wanted to see into his heart.
She suddenly felt like crying.
He really came to find her.
He did not find her annoying and did not abandon her.
She did not want to cry in front of a man, but she couldn’t control her tears at all as they slid down the corners of her eyes. The grievance in her heart was overwhelming.
Li Jingran was stunned and at a loss for words.
Why did she cry when she saw him?
Did he act too much just now to make her think that he didn’t care about her?
Li Jingran clicked his tongue and pinched the space between his eyebrows.
This girl had been unconscious for one night, and he had been watching over her for one night. He had an indescribable worry in his heart.
But he didn’t want to show it, so when he saw Xu Wanwan wake up, he only asked casually.
But he didn’t expect her to cry…
Li Jingran sighed. He got up and walked to the girl. The emotion in his eyes was so tender to a fault, but his tone was still cold. “What are you crying about?”
Xu Wanwan couldn’t believe the scene in front of her. She stared into the man’s eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m not dreaming, am I?”
“No, you have a fever and are in the hospital,” Li Jingran replied patiently. “Are you still feeling unwell?”
Xu Wanwan shook her head, but she could not control the tears in her eyes. “I don’t feel unwell anymore.”
Li Jingran saw that she was still crying. He frowned and bent over to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. “Then why are you still crying?”
“I just feel that it’s very surreal…” Xu Wanwan curled the corners of her lips and said softly, “I thought you would abandon me. I thought you would find me annoying.”
Li Jingran couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Am I that irresponsible in your eyes?”
“No,” Xu Wanwan quickly said. “It’s my problem.”
She was too insecure. She never believed that anyone would always protect her.
She also couldn’t believe that Li Jingran really treated her as family.
And this was something she had never felt in her original family in her previous life.
When a person who lacks love encounters happiness, they would only doubt themselves.
They would doubt whether they were worthy or not, and they would doubt whether other people were sincere.
Li Jingran knew what she was thinking.
He looked at the girl’s tearful eyes and became serious. “Don’t think blindly. Since you’ve entered my Li family, no one can bully you.”
Xu Wanwan was really touched in her heart.
It was not because she had escaped from the Xu family, but because someone was finally on her side and thinking of her.
This was something that she had never dared to think about in the past.
Li Jingran patted her hand and said in a low voice, “You’ll be discharged today. Have a good rest when you go home.”
Xu Wanwan’s heart was warm, and her nose was sour. She buried her head in the blanket and repeated in a low voice, “Thank you, thank you.”
The sun outside the window was slowly rising, refracted through the gap between the curtains and onto the hospital bed. Xu Wanwan looked up and saw a warm light shining on her body.
She only opened one eye, but she could clearly see the faint light behind Li Jingran.
She felt really safe and secure when she was with him.
Sometimes, Xu Wanwan couldn’t even tell where this sense of security came from.
Was it because he was the son of Fate that she was able to live comfortably under his protection?
“What do you want to eat later?” Li Jingran lifted the quilt and looked at Xu Wanwan with an inexplicable seriousness, as if he was asking a difficult question of the century.
Because Xu Wanwan’s fever had finally subsided, there were many things that could not be eaten carelessly so the servants can avoid them.
Xu Wanwan actually did not have much appetite, but she did not want the man to worry about her too much, so she said casually, “I want to eat porridge.”
“Well, you can eat it when you get home.”
“Okay.” Xu Wanwan adjusted her mood. When she looked at the man again, a faint smile appeared on her face. “I’m fine now.. You don’t have to worry.”
