Li Jingran took out a tissue and leaned over to wipe the oil on the corner of the girl’s lips. “Slow down.”

Xu Wanwan finished most of the remaining ingredients by herself. It was already nine o’clock in the evening.

“Go watch some TV. We’ll go home after I clean up.”

As she spoke, she picked up the plate and prepared to go to the kitchen to clean up.

Li Jingran frowned slightly. He looked around but did not find any servants.

He raised his hand to undo his cufflinks, lowered his body to take a few plates, and walked to the kitchen.

Xu Wanwan’s eyes widened and she was surprised for a moment. “No, no, put it down quickly!”

He did not have to do anything at home; how could she let him carry the plates?

Li Jingran saw the girl’s nervous look and laughed. “Are you afraid that I’ll break the plates?”

Was he that stupid in her heart?

“No!” Xu Wanwan hurriedly shook her head. “I’ll clean it up myself. It’ll be done soon. Go and rest.”

Without waiting for Li Jingran to say anything, she pushed him out of the kitchen, closed the door, and began to clean.

“Brother-in-law, I have something to tell you. ‘ Xu Yuchu stood behind Li Jingran and whispered.

Li Jingran said calmly, “What is it?”

Seeing that he did not refute this form of address, Xu Yuchu was relieved. “Let’s go to the living room and talk.”

When they arrived at the living room, Xu Yuchu deliberately turned up the volume of the television. He cleared his throat and said, “Brother-in-law, when do you plan to marry my sister?”

Li Jingran frowned. Even though he had been in the business world for a long time and had a strong ability to accept things, he was still stumped by this question.

The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he continued, “That depends on when your sister agrees.”

“My sister doesn’t seem like a demanding person,” Xu Yuchu analyzed. “Have you not confessed to her yet?”

Li Jingran’s eyes darkened. Why did this child have so many questions?

Xu Yuchu stared into his eyes and said seriously, “My sister is too kind. Moreover, she is sincere to you. If you really like her, why don’t you tell her?”

“If you don’t like her, then don’t play with her feelings.”

Li Jingran’s expression gradually became complicated.

Were all high school students nowadays so understanding of feelings?

He was actually being educated by a high school student.

He suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked as if it were unintentional, “Do you think that if I confess, your sister will agree?”

“I think so,” Xu Yuchu said seriously, “Can’t you see that she likes you?”

Li Jingran was a CEO after all; even an outsider like him could tell he couldn’t possibly be so stupid.

Li Jingran’s expression also became serious. “She likes me?”

“You like my sister too.”

Xu Yuchu’s words were an affirmative statement.

No matter how one looked at it, Li Jingran’s actions toward Xu Wanwan meant that he liked her.

Were they both in denial?

Li Jingran looked at Xu Yuchu strangely.

This kid knew too much.

Xu Yuchu looked calm. “No matter what, I’m still my sister’s family. I hope she can live a happy life in the future.”

“If you like her, go and confess to her. I’ll be relieved if you two get married earlier.”

“What are you relieved about?”

“You’re very rich, and my sister is very beautiful. If you don’t get married early, it’ll be very dangerous.”

Li Jingran had already turned speechless by his words. His face was full of black lines.

He said in a deep voice, “Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?”

Xu Yuchu frowned and said, “I know you’re the president of the Li Corporation. Many people outside are afraid of you, but I’m not afraid of you.”

Li Jingran frowned further. He really felt that he was crazy for having the patience to sit here and talk about this with a high school student.

Xu Yuchu said unhurriedly, “Because you like my sister. After you get married, I’m going to be your brother-in-law.”

Li Jingran’s whole face darkened and he said unhappily, “So what? You still have to call me Brother-in-Law.”

“That was just calling you on purpose for my sister.” Xu Yuchu used the calmest tone to say the most poignant words. “You don’t even have the courage to confess, you can’t be my brother-in-law yet. ”

In Xu Yuchu’s heart, Xu Wanwan was very outstanding.

She was beautiful and could earn money. People were kind-hearted, and her cooking was delicious.

Anyway, she had a lot of good points. There was no shortage of men.

Li Jingran had been dragging out his confession. Wasn’t this just like delaying an important event in his sister’s life?

After Xu Yuchu finished speaking, Li Jingran’s face had turned extremely dark.

He did not say a word. He sat on the sofa looking seemingly calm, but his mind kept replaying Xu Yuchu’s words.

Xu Wanwan finished cleaning up and walked out of the kitchen. She looked at the two people sitting on the sofa watching TV. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

She was very happy and walked over with a smile. “Yuchu, don’t watch TV for too long. It’s time for you to sleep.”

After that, she looked at Li Jingran again. “I’m done, let’s go home first.”

Li Jingran got up and was about to leave when Xu Yuchu suddenly coughed twice and looked at him with a hint in his eyes.

Xu Wanwan knew nothing about their interaction, and she was still in the dark as she followed Li Jingran back home.

As Li Jingran sat on the sofa to rest, he suddenly said, “Do you know what your brother just said to me?”

Xu Wanwan sat cross-legged on the sofa, put a piece of fruit into her mouth, and licked the corner of her lips. “Let me guess, he must have said something to thank you.”

She really did not expect Xu Yuchu to take the initiative to talk to Li Jingran.

“Then what did he say?”

Li Jingran stared at the girl, trying to see her reaction clearly. “He asked me when I will marry you.’

Xu Wanwan almost spat out the fruit that she had just eaten. She could not help but cough a few times.

Come on, Xu Yuchu must be mistaken!

Why did he think that she and Li Jingran had something going on between them?

“What do you think?” Li Jingran couldn’t help but ask when he saw her surprised reaction.

Xu Wanwan looked embarrassed. “He’s young and immature. Please don’t think too much about it. He misunderstood our innocent relationship.”

Li Jingran stared at the girl’s delicate side profile and said in a low and hoarse voice, “What if my heart is not pure?”

In an instant, the whole world fell silent.

Xu Wanwan’s motion of eating the fruit halted and turned to look at the man in disbelief. It took her a long time to react. “What…do you mean?”

Xu Yuchu’s words from that night were still ringing in his ears. Li Jingran’s eyes were burning. He suddenly bent over and pressed his hands on the sofa behind Xu Wanwan, not giving her a chance to escape.

Their eyes met, and Xu Wanwan’s heart raced. Looking at the man’s handsome features magnified in front of her eyes, everything felt so surreal.

Li Jingran’s thin lips pressed against her ear. His voice was so low that it carried a hint of seduction. “Marry me.”

Xu Wanwan gulped, her eyes were extremely flustered. It was as if a thousand sika deer had run through her heart.

Is what he said… true?.
