After reading the last word, Li Jingran couldn’t help but furrow his brows. The image of the little girl sitting in front of the table and writing these words word by word suddenly flashed through his mind.

She must have been very disappointed at that time.

No wonder she didn’t say anything when she left Jade Forest City that day. No wonder she was so stubborn when she left on her own the next day.

Li Jingran sighed lightly and closed the diary, his eyes softening.

What a silly girl.

She always wanted to take care of everything on her own. Didn’t she understand that she was more important than anyone else?

At least for him, no one could compare.

After Xu Wanwan finished unpacking, she went to school the next day.

Under her strong persuasion, Li Xuyi finally returned to school.

Lin Jianan looked surprised. “Wanwan, how come you entered the classroom with Li Xuyi today?”

In her impression, Li Xuyi was a cynical, spoiled brat who always liked to bully Xu Wanwan.

Logically speaking, the two of them should not be together.

Xu Wanwan did not expect Li Xuyi to listen to her and come to school obediently.

She was in a good mood and said honestly, “I’ve made up with him. I don’t think we’ll fight anymore.”

Ever since she went out for a ride with him yesterday, Xu Wanwan’s attitude toward Li Xuyi had completely changed.

Lin Jianan gave him a thumbs up in disbelief. “Awesome! Youre the only one in the entire class who can subdue Li Xuyi.”

Xu Wanwan pursed her lips and smiled, then suddenly thought of something. “Oh right, lend me your notes from yesterday to copy.”

“As expected of a top student…”

The two of them played around and the day passed quickly.

After school, Xu Wanwan packed her bag and deliberately waited for Li Xuyi to walk out of the school gate.

Li Xuyi was a slow person. He followed after Xu Wanwan unhurriedly and complained, “Are all the good students in such a hurry after school?”

“Isn’t it good to go home early to rest?” Xu Wanwan blinked and said seriously, “Moreover, go home early so you can go out to ride a bike after you finish your homework.”

Li Xuyi admired her seriousness. It was obviously a very small matter, but she could still make sense of it.

He compromised, “Okay, you good students are always right.”

Xu Wanwan stood at the intersection and stopped a car while explaining, “I think you’re not bad. As long as you can go to school on time, you’ll be a good student.”

Li Xuyi looked sideways and chuckled.

“You’re the first person to say that I can be a good student.”

Ever since he was young, no one around him had bothered enough to say so, even his own mother did not think so.

Xu Wanwan looked at him seriously. “I’m serious.”

The leaves on top of her head slowly fell and were blown by the wind into her hair.

Li Xuyi naturally reached out to help her brush off the leaves. His tone softened. “Okay, okay, okay. You’re right.”

“What are you doing?”

A cold and deep voice interrupted their conversation.

Li Jingran strode over and stood in front of Xu Wanwan. He glared at Li Xuyi. “Who allowed you to touch her?”

“Brother, she has left your house and has nothing to do with you anymore. Why can’t I touch her?” Li Xuyi said on purpose.

Li Jingran said coldly, “She’s mine. It has nothing to do with you.”

“What do you mean by yours? Xu Wanwan doesn’t belong to anyone. Can you stop being so selfish?”

Li Xuyi said unhappily, “Wanwan, who are you going with?”

He pointed a finger at Xu Wanwan. She was in a difficult position. She looked at Li Jingran carefully and slowly walked to Li Xuyi’s side.

Li Jingran frowned hard, but he said patiently, “I know what someone said to you. Come back with me first, and we’ll solve it together.”

Xu Wanwan could not have imagined feeling so emotional upon seeing him again.

It had only been a few days since she last saw him. She felt that she was more dependent on him than she had imagined.

Her nose was a little tingly. She looked at the man with sparkling eyes and said something against her heart again, “I’ve already moved. You can go back.”

Since she had already left, she had no intention of going back.

Li Jingran could not have her in his future.

Even if she felt uncomfortable, she had to endure it.

“Xu Wanwan, do you have to be so petty with me?” Li Jingran frowned and said in a depressed tone, “I’ve already said that if you have any grievances, then come back and tell me, I’l settle them.”

Xu Wanwan shook her head stubbornly. “No need… I’m fine, I don’t have any complaints.”

As she said this, she could barely hold back the emotions she was trying to suppress.

After saying that, she gently pulled on Li Xuyi’s sleeve and said calmly, “Let’s go.”

“Brother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take good care of her.”

Before he left, Li Xuyi said proudly, “Alright, you should hurry back too. Don’t come looking for her in the future.”

Li Jingran’s eyes reddened. He clenched his fists tightly as he watched the two of them leave. For a moment, he actually lost his mind.

“Let’s go to the Li family’s old mansion.”

After getting in the car, he directly canceled an important company meeting and suddenly changed his schedule.

‘When they arrived at the Li family’s mansion, Li Jingran walked to the hall in a hurry. The first thing he said when he saw Father Li was, “I want to break off the engagement with the Zhou family.”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Father Li’s hand, which was holding his walking stick, trembled slightly. He said unhappily, “Do you know what the marriage between the Zhou family and the Li family means?”

Li Jingran’s voice was cold and hard. “Dad, I will never marry a woman I don’t love.”

“It doesn’t matter whether I love her or not. When I married your mother, we do not have love between us before, but after a long time, we developed feelings,” Father Li said sternly, “This marriage is related to the long-term development of the Li family, and it’s also related to our reputation.”

“This marriage cannot be annulled!”

The old man said firmly, without any room for negotiation.

Li Jingran knew that this matter was difficult to handle. He didn’t leave himself a way out at all. He said coldly, “If you insist on not annulling the marriage, then I can only resign from my position as the top head of the Li Group.”

Father Li was so angry that his body was trembling, “What did you say?!”

Li Jingran was determined to break off the engagement and directly brought the resignation document. He handed it to Father Li. “As long as I give up on inheriting the Li family’s business, then the future development of the Li Group has nothing to do with me either.”

Father Li’s chest heaved violently and his hands shook badly as he took the resignation document and saw that it was written clearly in black and white. He was so angry that his eyes tuned white and fainted.

“Oh no!” Mother Li rushed up and pulled Father Li up. She tured around and said urgently, “Your father has a heart attack. Call 120 immediately!”

Li Jingran’s body stiffened and quickly dialed the emergency number.

With a complicated expression, he helped Father Li Up. The veins on his arms bulged and he sighed heavily.

‘When they arrived at the hospital, Father Li was directly pushed into the emergency room.

Mother Li was wearing high heels and pacing in the corridor. She walked up to Li Jingran and said angrily, “If anything happens to your father, can you take responsibility?”

Li Jingran lowered his eyes and sat on the chair outside the ward with his hands on his head. He was terrifyingly calm.

After a long time, his Adam’s apple moved down, his voice hoarse. “I didn’t know that father had a heart attack.”

“Your dad’s health hasn’t been good in recent years. He was afraid that you guys would worry, so he told me not to tell you.” Mother Li squatted on the ground, her voice dripping with tears. “How good you are, you angered him enough to get him hospitalized..”
