Chen San: “Let’s not stay idle. Why don’t we help Just A Rabbit locate the domain name and address of that person?”

Liu He: “No problem.”

Xu Wanwan felt a warmth in her heart. “Thank you, everyone. I’ll treat everyone to a meal after this is done.”

After leaving the group chat, she and her group of friends hacked into the internal address of the person who posted the thread.

There was strength in numbers. It did not take long for them to find the personal information and address of the person who made the post.

Name: Xu Yue

Address: Star Lake Villa 8

Xu Wanwan’s eyes darkened. It was her again!

She used the fastest time to create a lawyer’s letter and sent it out based on the address.

Tomorrow, Xu Yue will definitely receive a lawyer’s letter.

That girl already owed her too much. It was time to pay it back.

Xu Wanwan originally had no intention to fight, but Xu Yue was pushing her luck. She had crossed her bottom line time and time again, so she should be punished.

After dealing with the matters at hand, she heard Aunt Zhang knocking on the door.

“Miss Xu, it’s time for dinner.”

Xu Wanwan closed her laptop. “Okay, I’ll be right there!”

She was relaxed. She stretched and walked towards the hall.

“Brother, why were my foreign clubs halted again? What do you mean by that?”

Xu Wanwan heard this familiar voice as soon as she walked into the main hall.

She stopped in her tracks and saw Li Xuyi sitting across the sofa.

Before she could turn around and leave, his gaze had already shifted to her.

Xu Wanwan’s expression was stiff. The moment their eyes met, her head was filled with panic as she tried to come up with a countermeasure.

This was bad. Li Xuyi had suddenly appeared at the Li family home. How was she going to explain her identity to him?

Li Xuyi’s eyes were filled with shock. He pointed at Xu Wanwan and looked at Li Jingran in disbelief. “You… you guys!?”

Li Jingran could not be bothered to hide it. He said calmly, “Wanwan, come here.”

Though slightly stiff, Xu Wanwan moved, obediently walking toward the man.

Li Xuyi was stunned, his worldview shattering. “Why would she appear at the Li family home? What is the relationship between the two of you?”

Li Jingran looked impatient. “This has nothing to do with you.”

Li Xuyi took a deep breath and started making wild guesses. He stared at Xu Wanwan intently and suddenly said, “Don’t tell me you’re being kept by my brother!”

“No wonder they said you’re being kept. I didn’t believe it at first, but I didn’t expect it to be true…”

“Xu Wanwan, are things being too hard? Why are you with my brother? He’s so much older than you. If you’re with him, you might as well be with me——”

Li Xuyi was really too shocked. His emotions were fluctuating too much, and his words were a little incoherent.

Xu Wanwan was worried that he would say something even more outrageous, so she directly interrupted, “Don’t think too much. Mr. Li and I are not in the kind of relationship you think we are.”

“You’re staying with the Li family, and my brother called you Wanwan. Who would believe you if you told me that you’re not related to him?”

Xu Wanwan rubbed the tip of her nose and looked at Li Jingran awkwardly, hoping that he would help her explain.

But Li Jingran had no intention of explaining at all. His face was tense, and the pressure was getting heavier. This was a sign that he was about to lose his temper.

“Li Xuyi, get out of my house.”

“I really misjudged you.” The corners of Li Xuyi’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “The outside world said that you don’t get close to women. I thought you really didn’t like women. I didn’t expect you to like people who are much younger than you.”

“I’m just saying, if you were with Xu Wanwan, would our parents agree?”

Li Jingran gave him a cold glare and growled, “Get out of here!”

Li Xuyi gritted his teeth in displeasure. Before he left, he stared at Xu Wanwan and said unwillingly, “You’d better think about it. Are you sure you want to be with a man who’s so much older than you?”

With that, he picked up his coat and left the Li family home without looking back.

After he left the villa, Li Xuyi lingered by the roadside and kicked the cans on the roadside.

He really didn’t know what Xu Wanwan meant. She was so good to him at school, and he thought she liked him.

But how could she be with Li Jingran?!

Li Xuyi didn’t even want to admit that he had feelings for Xu Wanwan at first, but when he saw her with Li Jingran today, he was furious!

Why couldn’t this person be him?

After Li Xuyi left the Li family, the house became quiet once again.

Li Jingran’s mood was still low, and his whole body was emitting a chill. The servants around him were working carefully, afraid that they might accidentally annoy Li Jingran.

Xu Wanwan lowered her head the whole time and ate her dinner in small bites.

She knew that Li Jingran was in a bad mood. Although she did not understand why he was so angry, she did not dare to ask.

After dinner, she saw that Li Jingran still didn’t say anything, so she left obediently.

Li Jingran looked up, his eyes locked on the girl’s back. “Where are you going?”

Xu Wanwan thought he wasn’t angry anymore, so she turned around in surprise. “I’m not going anywhere.”

She returned to the man’s side, her chin propped up, and her eyes were shining. “Are you not angry anymore?”

The girl’s delicate face was cupped in her hands, and her big eyes seemed to be filled with stars. The hair beside her ears slid down her shoulders casually. She looked exceptionally cute and well-behaved.

Li Jingran’s heart sank. A hint of depression flashed across his eyes.

He did not need anyone to remind him. He knew how different he was from Xu Wanwan.

She turned eighteen this year. She had a beautiful face and an ethereal temperament. She was at the prime of her life. How could she like older people?

Li Jingran couldn’t help but frown, his voice sounding a little hoarse. “Why should I be angry?”

Yes, why should he be angry?

Was He angry at his own age?

Xu Wanwan’s eyes sparkled. “But you… don’t seem to be very happy.”

She had grown up in an environment that lacked love. She was the best at reading people’s expressions, so she could immediately tell that Li Jingran wasn’t in the right mood.

But she did not dare to comfort him without permission. She was afraid that he would do something bad out of kindness.

Li Jingran lowered his eyes and sighed softly. His tone was indifferent. “I’m fine.”

Xu Wanwan did not know what was wrong with him and bit her lips helplessly. “Well…if you have something on your mind, you can tell me.”

“But it’s okay if you don’t want to say it. I’ll go and stay by your side.”

Li Jingran’s mood was still low and his expression was a little cold. “Okay.”

Feeling a little defeated, Xu Wanwan could only return to her room sullenly.

For the next few days, Li Jingran worked overtime at the company and did not go home for dinner,

Xu Wanwan secretly cooked a few times, waiting for him to come back. But she would always wait until midnight and still would not see him.

On Friday night, she left school very early. She went to the supermarket to buy the freshest ingredients, preparing to cook a delicious meal while waiting for Li Jingran to come back.

After all, he had been busy for so many days, so it was time for him to rest on the weekend.

After returning home, she rushed into the kitchen and worked all night. She made six dishes and a soup, then sat on the sofa and waited.

Time passed bit by bit. At nine o’clock in the evening, Li Jingran still had not returned home.

The Butler could not bear to watch this scene. He took a picture of Xu Wanwan waiting and sent it to Li Jingran.

“Director Li, Miss Xu is waiting for you to come home for dinner.”
