“Oh my God, I actually met you in person here.”

“You have no idea how many boys in our class regard you as their goddess. They can’t wait to run into you by chance.”

He quickly reached out his hand as he spoke. “Hello, hello, my name is Chen San. I’m also from the Computer Science Department.”

Xu Wanwan took a long time to react. Feeling that this boy was quite different from Li Xuyi, she stretched out her hand. “Hello.”

“By the way, did you misunderstand Brother Xu? Why are you arguing here?” Chen San was so curious and couldn’t help but ask.

Xu Wanwan glanced at Li Xuyi. After realizing that she had misunderstood him, she felt a little embarrassed. “I didn’t know that you guys were playing a Dare…”

“If you don’t do such things in the future, then I won’t tell your family.”

Li Xuyi’s face darkened. “I’m a normal man. If you ask me not to do such things in the future, then what’s wrong with your brain?”

“Then… at least when you’re in school, you can’t play with other people’s feelings, and you can’t force them.”

Xu Wanwan said it in a serious manner as if she was teaching him as a child.

Li Xuyi got even more annoyed and deliberately threatened her. “If you continue to meddle in other people’s business, I’ll get someone to beat you up.”

Xu Wanwan got a little scared when she saw his cold expression and turned around to leave.

Chen San quickly chased after her. “Don’t go yet. Can we add each other’s WeChat?”

Without waiting for Xu Wanwan to agree, Li Xuyi slapped the back of Chen San’s head. “Let’s go.”

Chen San had no choice but to leave with Li Xuyi. But when he thought about missing the opportunity to ask for his goddess’ WeChat, he could not help but complain.

“Why are you like this? It’s not easy for me to meet my goddess once. You don’t know how to be considerate to your Brother and ask for her WeChat.”

“And you’re really too much. When others say something serious, you just don’t listen if you don’t like it. Why are you being so fierce to her?”

“What if you make her cry?”

Li Xuyi became annoyed when he heard that and said coldly, “Shut up.”

——

In the first few days of school, Xu Wanwan had a fulfilling life every day. When she got home from school, she focused on preparing her speech for the orientation party.

During this period, Li Jingran’s company seemed to be very busy. He had not been home for a few days.

At nine o’clock in the evening, Xu Wanwan had just finished the last page of her orientation speech when she heard the sound of a car engine outside.

Could it be that Li Jingran was back?

She quickly got up and ran into the hall in her bunny slippers.

As soon as Li Jingran opened the door, he saw the girl running over and felt most of his fatigue disappear. In a deep voice, he asked, “Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Xu Wanwan meekly stood in front of the man. “Yes, I just finished my welcome speech. I heard you coming back, so I wanted to come out and have a look.”

“Well, how have you been at school recently?” Li Jingran took off his suit jacket and threw it on the sofa. His slender fingers unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt.

Xu Wanwan’s eyes slowly followed the man’s movements. She had to admit, this appearance of his was a little flirtatious…

“Why aren’t you talking?” Li Jingran loosened his tie. Seeing that the girl was only staring at him, he asked in a low voice.

Xu Wanwan looked lost in thought and pinched her thigh lightly, then quickly answered, “I’m very good at school. I have a lot of things to do every day. It’s very fulfilling.”

After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at the man and saw him resting on the sofa with his eyes closed. Her heart felt a little strange.

The light shone on the side of his face, his eyes under greenish-gray light. Even with his eyes closed, his brows were still tightly furrowed.

“You must be tired from work recently, right?”

Li Jingran did not open his eyes. His voice sounded low and hoarse. “Why do you say that?”

“I saw that you haven’t been home for a few days, and you got off work very late today. Did something happen at work?” Xu Wanwan asked carefully. “Can I help you with anything?”

After spending so much time together, she knew that Li Jingran was a person who had a regular schedule. If he had not encountered any thorny issues, he would not have stayed out all night.

Li Jingran’s tone was indifferent. “It’s fine. Just study hard.”

Xu Wanwan wanted to say something else, but he stood up suddenly. “It’s getting late. Go to bed.”

Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. Looking at Li Jingran’s back view as he went upstairs, she could only return to her room to rest.

In the study room.

Li Jingran’s brows were tightly knitted as he leaned back in his chair, thinking about a problem.

The Butler had a worried look on his face. “Director Li, the company had just launched a new product, and important secrets were stolen. I’ve asked someone to investigate, but they couldn’t find anything.”

“However, I suspect that a competitor had done this. After all, they’ve been trying to sabotage us before, but we don’t have any evidence now, so we can’t do anything to them for the time being.”

Li Jingran pinched the space between his eyebrows tiredly and ordered coldly, “Gather famous hackers in the industry and think of a way to break into their company.”

The Butler said, “We don’t have much time. We have to find a top hacker and get our resources back within a day.”

“Then go and find one,” Li Jingran said these words coldly.

The Butler nodded immediately. “Yes, I’ve already ordered someone to look for talents in this area.”

“Mm.” Li Jingran’s tensed emotions relaxed a little and asked, “How’s Xu Wanwan doing recently?”

“Miss Xu’s school is holding an orientation party tomorrow. I heard that she can invite her family to attend this time. Do you want to go?” The Butler asked tentatively.

Li Jingran’s eyes sank. He didn’t answer.

The company was in dire straits, so he really didn’t have the mood to attend other activities.

But it wouldn’t be appropriate for Xu Wanwan to attend the orientation party alone.

After all, the school had invited family members this time, and everyone else had family accompanying them, so Xu Wanwan had to have someone too.

Li Jingran pondered for a moment and said in a light voice, “Put off tomorrow afternoon’s work.”

——

In the afternoon, Xu Wanwan was standing backstage, silently reciting the new student’s speech she had written.

After the principal’s speech, she will go on stage to give hers so she was making preparations backstage.

Lin Jianan accompanied her, holding her cell phone as she scrolled through a blog.

She scrolled through a piece of news about the Li Group and exclaimed, “Oh my God, who has the guts to steal from the Li family?”

When Xu Wanwan heard the name of the Li family, she was unexpectedly pulled from her thoughts. “What did you say?”

“Wanwan, look at this news,” Lin Jiannan said and handed the phone to Xu Wanwan. “The outside world is saying that the important secrets of the Li Group have been stolen.”

“Then wouldn’t Li Jingran have to work very hard? He’s so handsome; what if he gets ugly?”

Lin Jianan was concerned about Li Jingran’s looks, but Xu Wanwan was worried about the Li family’s business.

No wonder Li Jingran had been out all night these days. When she saw him yesterday, he looked tired too.

But he didn’t say anything, as if nothing had happened…

Xu Wanwan was in a depressed mood and had stopped thinking about memorizing her speech in the meantime. All she wanted to do was help Li Jingran.

As she was thinking, her mobile phone started ringing.
