Chapter 189: Take Advantage of Him

“Do you know why I came back this time?”

As he spoke, he excitedly took out a set of car keys from his bosom. “You said that you liked motorcycles, so I especially ordered someone to custom-make one for you from a foreign club. It’s just to give you a surprise.”

“I’ve already decided. I’ll confess to my parents when I come back this time, and then I’ll be with you.”

“But what about you? You actually want to marry Li Jingran behind my back. Have you ever considered my feelings?”

Xu Wanwan frowned and said patiently, “You said that you like me, but I’ve also explicitly rejected you. I don’t like you, and I won’t be with you.”

She had already rejected him, so why couldn’t she marry the person she liked?

Li Xuyi’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he said in a depressed tone, “Xu Wanwan, Tell me, tell me which part of me is inferior to Li Jingran?”

When he said this, the emotions in his heart had already been surging.

Since he was young, everyone’s attention had been on Li Jingran. The entire Li Corporation belonged to him.

But why did he even want to snatch Xu Wanwan from him?

“You’re very good, but the reasons behind relationships are hard to say.”

Xu Wanwan couldn’t bear to see his emotions fluctuate so much, so she softened her tone. “You’re feeling sad because you haven’t figured it out yet. When you’ve figured it out, one day, you’ll find your true love.”

Li Xuyi curled the corners of his lips mockingly. “So in your heart, I’m just not as good as Li Jingran, right?”

“No.”

“If you’re really not, then you can go and tell them that you choose to be with me.”

Xu Wanwan shook her head. “That won’t do. Be more rational.”

Li Xuyi stared at her for a few seconds. Suddenly, he did not want to suppress the emotions deep in his heart. He pulled Xu Wanwan’s arm. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you along.”

“My parents have never had any requests for me. If I tell them that I like you, they won’t reject me.”

Xu Wanwan struggled to get away from his hand and raised her voice. “Are you crazy?”

She panted slightly. “Please face the reality. Li Jingran and I are about to get married. You can’t do this.”

“I can give up everything in the Li Corporation. Why should he fight with me over you?” The more Li Xuyi spoke, the harder it was for him to control his emotions. “Tell me, why did you choose him? What did I do wrong?”

Xu Wanwan tried her best to calm her emotions and looked at him quietly. She knew that it was useless to talk about the so-called big reasons at this time.

She sighed and said calmly, “Do you have to know a reason?”

If giving him a reason could make him give up completely, she was willing to make it up.

Li Xuyi stared at her. “Yes, I just need a reason.”

He needed a reason to convince himself.

Otherwise, he would never be able to get over this hurdle.

The two stood in the courtyard facing each other, but they didn’t notice that Li Jingran had already come out of the house. He was standing beside the ginkgo tree in the courtyard and could hear their conversation.

Xu Wanwan bit her lip and said casually, “A fortune-teller once told me that Li Jingran was very lucky. As long as I was with him, my luck would change.”

She couldn’t tell Li Xuyi that Li Jingran was the son of Fate.

So she made up a ridiculous reason.

After Li Xuyi heard it, he laughed coldly. “Xu Wanwan, why do you have to lie to me with such a lie?”

Since she had told the lie, Xu Wan could only bite the bullet and make it up. She said seriously, “As you can see, my life in the Xu family was not easy. Ever since I came to Li Jingran’s side, I went to the best university and successfully became a teacher’s disciple. Now I can still make money on my own.”

“In the past, I didn’t have such good luck.”

She was not wrong.

Li Jingran was the person who brought her good luck. During the time she was with him, the magnetic field around her had changed, and she became positive and optimistic.

Seeing that she was serious, Li Xuyi actually took her words seriously.

He suddenly asked, “So you’re saying that you’re using my brother? You don’t like my brother because he can bring you good luck?”

Xu Wanwan’s gaze became complicated.

She had just started to get to know Li Jingran because she wanted to take advantage of his luck.

But after getting along with him in the future, she gradually became dependent on him and gradually understood her own heart.

If she just wanted to take advantage of Li Jingran, she wouldn’t be with him, and she wouldn’t marry someone she didn’t love.

“I’m not completely taking advantage of him. I like him now.”

Li Xuyi snorted coldly, still unconvinced. “You started getting close to him just to take advantage of him. If Li Jingran did not have such good luck, would you still be with him?”

Without waiting for Xu Wanwan to answer, he said firmly, “Don’t reject me so quickly. When you don’t like Li Jingran anymore, come back and look for me.”

Because he liked him, he was unwilling to accept it, but he could only endure it.

After Li Xuyi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Before Xu Wanwan could reject him, she looked up and suddenly saw the familiar figure standing under the tree.

Li Jingran’s eyes were terrifyingly cold. He looked at the girl standing in front of him from afar. The side of his face was extremely tense, and his entire body was filled with gloom and coldness.

After he heard what Xu Wanwan said, his heart sank to the extreme.

Use?

She approached him from the start to use him?

He hated it the most when others betrayed him. However, the girl who had stayed by his side for such a long time seemed so innocent and harmless on the surface, but she was secretly thinking of how to take advantage of him?

From a distance, Xu Wanwan could already feel the coldness in the man’s eyes.

She could not help but shiver. When she thought of what she had said just now, she felt extremely nervous.

Could he have heard everything?

Xu Wanwan carefully walked up to the man, not daring to look him in the eye. “I. . . I didn’t mean what I said just now. I just…”

Before she could finish, Li Jingran raised his hand and pinched her chin.

The man’s eyes were extremely cold and deep. It was a gloominess she had never seen before.

“Xu Wanwan, are you trying to get close to me in order to use me?”

All these years, there were too many women who wanted to get close to him and make use of him again.

He had let down his guard against Xu Wanwan time and time again and trusted her unconditionally. However, when she got close to him, he still could not escape the word “make use of”.

“Wu… Listen to my explanation…”

Xu Wanwan’s jaw was hurting from being pinched. Tears were glistening in her eyes and her voice was stuttering. “Although my thoughts were not right when I got close to you, I’m sincere toward you now.”

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

Her voice was broken, and there was a hint of crying in it. Just listening to it made one feel sorry for her.

Li Jingran frowned slightly. If it were in the past, he would not have been able to bear to ask further.
