There were only two men standing at each other’s sides. Each of their expressions was gloomier than the last.
Xu Wanwan held the little ball in her arms and watched as the two men stared at each other. She sighed helplessly. “You… What’s the matter?”
“Nothing. Yan Zhi misses you. That’s why I brought him here to see you.”Gu Jingran’s voice was gentle, but his gaze towards Li Jingran was filled with a hint of provocation.
Li Jingran still spat out two words coldly, “Go home.”
Xu Wan sighed to herself. She really did not know how to resolve this matter.
After a moment, she saw that the two men in front of her had no intention of leaving. She could only stop thinking and ask in a low voice, “Well, if you guys have nothing else to do, you can go back first. I still need to discuss our cooperation here.”
Li Jingran could not be bothered to wait. He immediately took a step forward and grabbed Xu Wanwan’s arm. “Come home with me.”
The four simplest words were spoken with such force that no one dared to refuse.
Xu Wanwan subconsciously averted her gaze and looked gently at Gu Jinshen. “I’ve troubled you to come over today. I’ll bring Yan Zhi home now. You should rest early tonight too.”
Gu Jinshen directly picked up Xu Yanzhi. “Yanzhi just misses me. Why Don’t you let him Rest at my house tonight?”
Without waiting for Xu Wanwan to refuse, Li Jingran’s thin lips curled into a sneer. “Heh, the Li family doesn’t need your charity.”
This arrogant personality made Gu Jinshen very dissatisfied.
But Xu Yanzhi still lay in front of Gu Jinshen, showing no intention of breaking free.
“Goddaddy, don’t talk about my daddy like that. I really want to stay with Daddy.”
As soon as Xu Yanzhi said this, Li Jingran threw him a cold look.
“Mommy, why is Goddaddy Angry?”
He looked at Xu Wanwan timidly. “Can’t we not go home with Goddaddy?”
Xu Wanwan felt a little helpless, but she could only explain in a low voice, “Yanzhi, be good. Didn’t mommy tell you before that Uncle Li is not living well now and needs us to accompany him?”
“But I also like Daddy’s Company!”Xu Yanzhi frowned in confusion.
Li Jingran took a few steps forward. This time, he didn’t say anything more and directly snatched the little guy from Gu Jinshen’s hand. He said in a deep voice, “Come back with me.”
If it were in the past, Xu Yanzhi would have cried and made a big fuss, but now his attitude toward Li Jingran had changed a lot. Now, he just curled the corner of his lips and obediently clung to his neck.
This scene surprised Xu Wanwan and Gu Jingran.
They didn’t expect Xu Yanzhi to be able to accept this man after such a short time.
“Miss Xu, are you planning to stay here and reminisce with your old friends?”Li Jingran stopped in his tracks and glanced at Xu Wanwan. There was a hint of jealousy in his voice.
Xu Wanwan choked and nodded slightly at Gu Jingran. “I’ll be leaving first. Be careful on the road.”
After she finished speaking, she quickly followed Li Jingran’s footsteps and left with Xu Yanzhi.
Gu Jin stood rooted to the ground, his eyes fixed on the backs of the three of them as they left. His lonely expression stained the side of his face, and his mood sank.
Lin Jiannan could not help but say from the side, “President Gu, give Wanwan some more time. She definitely has you in her heart.”
Gu Jin nodded his head deeply, but the corners of his lips curled up into a mocking smile.
After so many years, he knew better than anyone whether Xu Wanwan really had him in her heart.
But so what? They had lived together for at least three years and had long become each other’s reliance. How could they be separated so easily.
—
At the Li family home.
Xu Yanzhi was placed downstairs by Li Jingran. He was playing gloomily for a while. Just as he was about to go upstairs, Xu Wanwan pulled him back.
“Uncle Li is very busy with work now. Let’s go find him later, okay?”
“No!”Xu Yanzhi pouted slightly. “Godfather promised me that he would play with me. Why didn’t Mommy Let Me Go Find Him?”
Xu Wanwan explained patiently, “He doesn’t like to be disturbed when he’s busy, so let’s play quietly downstairs for a while, okay?”
Xu Yanzhi was a little unhappy, so he returned to his seat and began to watch TV.
In the living room, the servants were cleaning up. The sound of cartoons and anime could be heard from time to time on the TV, making it a little noisy.
Xu Wanwan was a little tired. She leaned against the sofa and stared at the little guy. After a while, she actually fell asleep.
Late at night.
On the sofa in the living room, there was a big one and a small one. The anime on the TV was playing a lively scene, and the sound was constantly transmitted outside.
Xu Yanzhi’s small hands clutched the sofa tightly, and his head rested on Xu Wanwan’s lap. He was sleeping soundly.
Li Jingran stood at the side of the sofa, his eyes looking extremely gentle under the dim yellow light.
He slowly walked to the girl’s side and lifted her chin. His eyes were mixed with speechless but complicated emotions. After looking deeply at her for a few seconds, he bent down and picked her up.
Xu Yanzhi’s head suddenly hung in the air and he suddenly woke up from the sofa.
Then he saw his own mommy being carried upstairs by his godfather. The little him was left in a corner and he could not help but open his mouth wide.
The next day, while Xu Wanwan was still unconscious, Xu Yanzhi secretly called Gu Jinshen.
“Daddy, Hurry and come over! I Saw Mommy being carried upstairs by godfather last night. Will Godfather Bully Mommy?”
On the other end of the phone, Gu Jinshen was having an important annual summing-up meeting. When he heard this, he couldn’t even take care of his work. His expression instantly darkened, and even his voice became colder. “Is your Mommy Awake?”
Xu Yanzhi hid in a corner of the living room and answered very softly, “Mommy seems to still be sleeping in Godfather’s room.”
“I’ll be right there. You stay there and wait for me.”
After Gu Jinshen finished speaking, he directly hung up the phone, declined the most important meetings, and rushed to the Li family as fast as he could.
Upstairs, Xu Wanwan was still in a daze when she vaguely heard the sounds of an argument coming from downstairs.
She sat up in a daze, quickly tidied up her clothes, and ran downstairs.
“I’m asking you where Xu Wanwan is!”Gu Jinshen was interrogating Li Jingran sternly. His gentle eyes rarely showed anger, but at this moment, they showed extreme coldness.
Li Jingran snorted coldly. His expression was arrogant and indifferent. He sat on the sofa and drank tea calmly. “You’re too arrogant to come to my territory.”
“Let me tell you, Xu Wanwan and Xu Yanzhi are the most important people in my life. If you dare to hurt them, I’ll make you pay for it at all costs!”
“Do you really think that Xu Yanzhi became your son just because he stayed by your side for three years?”Li Jingran asked coldly. He put down the Teacup heavily and looked up at Gu Jin.
The moment their eyes met, the air was filled with sparks and the smell of gunpowder.
