Li Wan knocked on the door and walked into the president's office.
Li Zelin sat behind a large black desk and cast a cold look over.
Li Wan walked to the desk and saw that Li Zelin was unhappy.
But she didn't know why Li Zelin was unhappy, nor was she sure whether his unhappiness had anything to do with her?
"Mr. Li." She called him in a soft voice.
Li Zelin frowned and stared at her for a moment, "Why didn't you tell me when you were bullied?"
Li Wan was slightly startled, then she smiled helplessly and said softly, "Because my last name is not Li anymore..."
Li Zelin narrowed his eyes and stared at her deeply.
Li Wan said, "Although I am still called Li Wan and I still call you Big Brother, I know very well in my heart that my last name is no longer Li..."
She pursed her lips slightly and looked at Li Zelin. Although there was a smile on her lips, her eyes were filled with soft and fragile tears. "I'm not sure whether you will help me or hate me, big brother."
Li Zelin's heart felt a slight pain as if something was pulling at it. This unfamiliar pain aroused strange emotions in his heart. "Are you sure now?"
Li Wan smiled slowly, and the soft and fragile watery light in her eyes turned into a small but happy smile and light, "Yes. I know, big brother loves me."
Li Zelin: "..."
Even though he knew that the love Li Wan talked about was not that, his heart still beat suddenly.
How can this person be so shameless, hanging that word on his head all day long?
He suppressed the restlessness in his chest, lowered his brows, and changed the subject stiffly, "Since you are in the president's office, you should work hard in the future."
Li Wan curved his lips and said, "I know. Now the whole company knows that you are my backer. I will definitely work hard and will not embarrass you."
Li Zelin stared at her.
She really dares to say anything.
But surprisingly, he didn't mind being Li Wan's backer. On the contrary, he had a good feeling about it.
Li Wan said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Wait a minute," Li Zelin called her.
"Is there anything else?" Li Wan asked.
Li Zelin asked calmly, "Are you familiar with Secretary Xiao?"
Li Wan's heart moved slightly and he blinked, "Brother, when you sent me abroad, didn't you tell me to contact Secretary Xiao if I had any questions? Secretary Xiao is very responsible and takes good care of me..."
Li Zelin interrupted her, "I know, go out."
Li Wan suppressed the smile that was rising on the corner of her mouth in time and nodded, "Then I'll go out first."
The office door opened and closed.
Li Zelin was secretly annoyed.
…
Twelfth floor.
Yuan Yang came back from the client company and just sat down in his office chair when Wang Lei leaned over the desk partition and said excitedly, "Yuan Yang, explosive news! Zhao Manman was fired!"
Yuan Yang paused for a moment as he turned on the computer and turned to look at him.
Wang Lei asked excitedly, "Guess why Zhao Manman was fired?"
Yuan Yang signaled him to continue with his eyes.
Wang Lei didn't keep the secret any longer. "Li Wan is actually Mr. Li's sister! They both have the same last name, Li! Mr. Li probably knew that Zhao Manman bullied Li Wan, so he fired Zhao Manman directly—"
As he spoke, he noticed that his voice was too loud, so he lowered it again. "Also, even Manager Zhao was punished and had to write a self-criticism. You see how arrogant Manager Zhao usually is. Can she bear this? This is probably a disguised way of forcing her to resign... I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that Li Wan is actually Manager Li's sister..." As he spoke, he suddenly asked Yuan Yang, "Hey? Why aren't you shocked at all?"
Don't even mention being shocked.
There wasn't even a hint of surprise on Yuan Yang's face.
Wang Lei looked at Yuan Yang suspiciously, "You didn't know this a long time ago, did you?"
Yuan Yang said calmly, "Yeah."
Wang Lei: “!!!”
He looked shocked.
"Fuck! How did you know? Did Li Wan tell you? You two wouldn't..."
Yuan Yang interrupted him, "No, I discovered it by accident."
Wang Lei wanted to ask him how he did it.
Seeing that Yuan Yang had already focused all his attention on the computer, he obviously didn't want him to ask any more questions.
Wang Lei scratched his head and sat down again. After a while, he remembered and leaned back on the partition. "By the way, Li Wan has been transferred to the CEO's office. It will probably be difficult to see her in the future."
Yuan Yang's eyes dimmed slightly as he stared at the computer.
"Hey? Xiao Chen came to eat alone today."
"Li Wan went to the president's office, which has its own kitchenette. Of course, she won't eat in the cafeteria anymore."
"Xiao Chen, you are so lucky. I didn't expect that Li Wan is actually Mr. Li's sister. You are so close to Li Wan. Now you can be considered to have someone close to you."
"Why are you clinging to someone so high? It's only been more than half a month. Li Wan is now at the CEO's office. In a few days, he will probably forget about Xiao Chen."
"Xiao Chen, you don't slack off at work, do you?"
My colleagues were joking around, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of sourness in the jokes.
Chen Shuyuan poked the broccoli on the plate with a fork and felt a little stuffy in his chest.
They have a point.
Although she regarded Li Wan as a good friend, in Li Wan's eyes, she might just be an ordinary employee of Huanxing. Besides, Li Wan was always nice to everyone, so maybe she just wanted to treat Li Wan as a good friend...
The more Chen Shuyuan thought about it, the sadder he felt. His nose felt sore and he almost cried.
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded like the sound of nature to Chen Shuyuan's ears.
"What are you talking about?"
Chen Shuyuan turned her head in shock, and saw Li Wan sitting down next to her with a tray as usual.
The colleagues sitting opposite Chen Shuyuan also looked at Li Wan in surprise.
"Li Wan?"
Li Wan said with a complaining and helpless tone, "Why didn't you wait for me today and came to the cafeteria by yourself? I looked for you for a long time."
Chen Shuyuan's mood at this moment was probably that if Li Wan was a man, she would fall in love with Li Wan wholeheartedly!
After Li Wan finished speaking to Chen Shuyuan, he smiled and looked at his colleagues across from him, "What were you talking about just now? It was so lively."
The colleagues who were joking just now suddenly looked a little unhappy.
Chen Shuyuan looked at Li Wan with shock and emotion.
Is Li Wan backing her up? !
Woo woo woo woo, she is about to cry!
No! She has to do her best!
Chen Shuyuan tried hard to hold back her tears.
The colleagues around me felt very uncomfortable during this meal.
Although Li Wan is usually very approachable and has a good relationship with everyone, he is not that familiar with them.
Li Wan was still the same Li Wan, gentle and soft-spoken, but in their eyes, she was different after all. Everyone felt a little restrained and could no longer call her "Little Li" as usual, let alone make jokes about her.
"I was worried that you would ignore me after you went to the president's office." Chen Shuyuan said aggrievedly.
"How could that be?" Li Wan pinched her face. "You are so cute."
Chen Shuyuan blushed. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Li Wan had become more charming.
"But I can't come down to eat tomorrow. The secretaries all eat alone on the top floor. I'm the secretary's assistant, so I have to eat with them." Li Wan explained helplessly, "We were supposed to eat upstairs today, but I was afraid you wouldn't be used to it, so I came down."
Chen Shuyuan was so touched, "Li Wan, why are you so nice!"
Li Wan smiled and said, "You are also very good."
Although he was timid and cowardly, in order to protect her, he still mustered up the courage to stand in front of her and confront the "power".
She has the most sincere and warm heart.
…
After Li Wan's identity was exposed, he no longer cared about anything.
Go in and out with Li Zelin openly.
At the same time, everyone in the company became respectful towards her. No one called her "Xiao Li" anymore. Even when riding in the same elevator, the elevator would be extraordinarily quiet as long as she was there. Li Wan was a little uncomfortable with this.
Li Wan went down to the twelfth floor to get a document for Secretary Wu.
While I was waiting for the elevator with the documents, Yuan Yang came over with a file bag in his hand.
"Are you going up?" Li Wan asked.
"Go ahead." Yuan Yang said.
Li Wan said "oh".
"Have you moved?" Yuan Yang suddenly asked.
Li Wan said a little embarrassedly, "I forgot to tell you..."
She briefly talked about what happened that night, "So I am temporarily living in my eldest brother's house. I will move out when he helps me find a suitable house."
"Has the person been caught?" Yuan Yang asked.
"There is no news yet." Li Wan said.
Yuan Yang paused for a moment and said, "You could have called me at that time. I lived downstairs from you."
Li Wan was stunned.
The elevator door opened and it was the elevator going down.
Yuan Yang nodded slightly and walked in.
…
The secretaries in the president's office need to be ready to receive work assignments from Li Zelin at any time and anywhere, so they don't even go to the cafeteria to eat. Instead, they order food from the cafeteria kitchen and then the kitchen delivers it.
The food was delivered to the table in the tea room, but two people were missing.
"Hey? Where's Li Wan? I'll go call her." Secretary Wang said.
Li Wan has been eating with them these days.
Secretary Wu said calmly, "No need to call her, she will eat with Mr. Li."
Li Zelin's lunch was specially delivered to the office. Today, Li Zelin suddenly said that he wanted to prepare two servings, and then called Li Wan in.
"Where is Secretary Xiao now?" Secretary Wang asked again.
"On business trip."
…
Li Wan bit her chopsticks and asked Li Zelin, "Is today a special day?"
Just as she was about to go to eat, she was called into the office by Li Zelin. There were two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, obviously prepared for her.
Li Zelin said calmly, "I have a poor appetite recently."
Li Wan blinked and waited for him to continue.
Li Zelin then said, "It's a waste if you can't finish it."
Li Wan: "..."
…
Let’s go back to yesterday noon.
Li Zelin went to the bathroom and met Li Wan and Secretary Xiao coming out of the tea room after dinner. The two were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
He found this scene very annoying.
"Secretary Wu, what's wrong? Don't you have a good appetite?" Secretary Wang asked with concern. Another secretary also looked at Secretary Wu and found that the rice in her bowl was hardly touched. She seemed to be thinking about something, with her brows slightly furrowed.
"I see that you've been worried lately. Is everything okay?" Secretary Wang asked with concern.
Secretary Wu came back to his senses, forced a smile and said, "I'm fine." Then he picked up a small mouthful of rice with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, but he could not taste anything.
She just found that Li Zelin's care for Li Wan, and Li Wan's influence on Li Zelin, seemed to be far beyond her imagination.
That day, Li Wan just casually said that the watch Li Zelin was wearing was nice-looking.
For the entire week until today, Li Zelin has not changed the watch.
From what she knew, Li Zelin had more than twenty watches, and he never wore the same watch for so long in the past.
Li Zelin likes quietness and never eats at the same table with others unless it is necessary. However, in the past few days, he called Li Wan in to eat with him every day, and even instructed Li Wan to deliver the express deliveries and documents that should have been delivered by her.
She even began to suspect that Secretary Xiao's sudden business trip for half a month was intentional by Li Zelin.
Secretary Wang said, "Speaking of which, President Li and Li Wan have a really good relationship. When I went in yesterday at noon, I saw President Li picking up food for Li Wan. Wow, I immediately felt that President Li had come down to earth and acted like a human being."
Secretary Liu smiled and said, "Secretary Wang, what are you talking about? President Li was not like a human being before?"
Secretary Wang said, "Oh, you know what I mean. Mr. Li used to look like a god, without emotions or desires, and not very human. But now I feel like he has become more human."
Secretary Liu said, "Sister, blood is thicker than water."
Secretary Wu lost all his appetite.
…
The study became the place where Li Wan and Li Zelin "date" every night.
Li Wan even had her own special chair, which was placed opposite the desk, where she sat opposite Li Zelin.
While Li Zelin was handling his work, she sat here and read.
Li Wan's slender white fingers lazily supported her cheek, and her eyes wandered from the open pages of the book to the face of the man opposite her.
This is a face that can withstand close scrutiny. No matter how many times you see it, you will still be shocked at first glance.
A pair of thin silver-rimmed glasses pressed against his high nose bridge. His myopia was not severe and the lenses were very thin. Just these two thin lenses completely restrained his oppressive aura. His eyes were half-closed, and for no reason he exuded a sense of abstinence.
As if being disturbed by Li Wan's gaze, the eyes that were originally covered by eyelashes behind the lenses slightly raised, and a cold gaze swept over, and even the tone was cold and indifferent, "What are you looking at?"
For a moment, Li Wan felt as if he had been electrocuted and his face went numb.
She pursed her lips and showed a reserved and shy smile, "Big brother is so handsome that I was stunned by him accidentally."
Li Zelin: "..."
Li Wan suddenly covered her mouth and yawned loudly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Li Zelin said, "Go to sleep if you are tired."
Li Wan shook her head and rubbed the tears from her eyes, her voice was buzzing, "I want to stay with you longer."
Such an ordinary sentence.
Li Zelin felt a soft corner of his heart being gently touched. His eyes moved slightly, and his voice was so gentle that he didn't even notice it. "I don't need you to accompany me. Go to sleep."
Li Wan said, "But I just want to stay here."
…
Wait for Li Zelin to finish his work.
Li Wan has fallen asleep.
She was lying on the table, with the pages of the open book pressed down on her, and she was sleeping soundly.
Li Zelin closed his computer, took off his glasses, stood up, walked around the desk to her side, and leaned down slightly to look at her. Her face was resting on her arms, a little deformed by the squeezing, her eyes were closed, and she was sleeping soundly without any defense.
Li Zelin stared at her for a moment, then suddenly leaned down and gently kissed her hair.
Li Wan was still sleeping soundly, unaware of anything.
…
Li Wan received the first salary in her life, which was more than 8,000 yuan, in less than a month. For Li Wan now, this was a huge sum of money.
The first thing she did was to transfer the rent owed to the landlord, and then she fulfilled her promise by inviting Yuan Yang and Wang Lei for coffee and also inviting Yuan Yang to dinner.
"No way? You invited Yuan Yang but not me?" Wang Lei said dissatisfiedly while drinking coffee.
"You can come too." Li Wan said with a smile.
Wang Lei was about to happily agree, but when Yuan Yang glanced at him coldly, he immediately coughed and changed his words, "Ahem, just kidding, just kidding, you said you would treat Yuan Yang, so I won't join in the fun, you guys go eat. Hey, I know a Western restaurant, the steak there is amazing, and the environment is also very good--"
The three of them finished their coffee and walked out. Li Wan smiled and said, "Then let's meet in the lobby after get off work this afternoon."
Yuan Yang agreed.
Li Wan left first.
Wang Lei said excitedly, "Don't miss such a good opportunity! Invite Li Wan to take a walk after dinner to help digest the food, and then confess your feelings directly!"
Because of Wang Lei's words, Yuan Yang felt anxious the whole afternoon.
…
"I'm not going home for dinner tonight. I'll go back by myself later." Li Wan said when delivering documents to Li Zelin.
Li Zelin raised his eyes to look at her. "Where are you going?"
Li Wan said, "I promised to treat people to a meal after I got my salary. I got my salary today, so I have to treat people to a meal."
Li Zelin guessed that it was the receptionist who was on good terms with her, and didn't ask any more questions. "Well, I also have an appointment today. I'll call my aunt later and ask her not to prepare dinner."
Li Wan nodded.
Li Zelin said, "After you finish eating, call driver Zhou and ask him to pick you up. Don't stay outside for too long and go home early."
Li Wan nodded in agreement.
…
Li Wan did not take Yuan Yang to the western restaurant recommended by Wang Lei. After all, when a man and a woman go to eat western food, the atmosphere is always a bit ambiguous.
She took Yuan Yang to the private restaurant that Li Zelin took her to last time.
After sitting down, Li Wan pushed the menu to Yuan Yang and said generously, "Order whatever you want."
Yuan Yang smiled faintly, ordered two dishes and pushed the menu back to Li Wan.
Li Wan ordered three more dishes and the same rice wine he had drunk last time, then handed the menu to the waiter.
Li Wan said, "I came to this restaurant last time. The food was delicious and the rice wine was also very good."
Yuan Yang smiled slightly and was about to speak when his eyes inadvertently glanced at the door. A waiter was leading two guests, a man and a woman, in. Yuan Yang's eyes were fixed on the man's face and his gaze suddenly froze.
At this moment, the man's gaze also swept over here, passed Yuan Yang, and fixed on Li Wan's back, his face suddenly gloomy.
"Zelin?" The woman next to him called out in surprise when she saw Li Zelin suddenly stop, then followed his gaze and asked, "Is it someone you know?"
"No." Li Zelin said coldly.
Yuan Yang watched Li Zelin and his female companion go into the detention center together, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Li Zelin didn't seem to want him to associate with Li Wan, and even had an undisguised hostility towards him.
Yuan Yang didn't think much about it and just understood it as a brother's possessiveness of his sister.
Li Wan had his back to the door, unaware of the undercurrent that had just occurred, and was still studying the menu.
Li Wan really likes the rice wine from this restaurant. Last time she came here with Li Zelin, she resisted the urge to drink too much in order not to leave him the impression of a "drunkard". But today she was finally able to drink as much as she wanted. She drank half a small white porcelain cup in one gulp.
Yuan Yang watched her drink several glasses in a row and said, "You seem to like drinking very much."
Thinking back to the first time he saw her, she was drunk in the elevator and reeked of alcohol, he was filled with disgust.
At that time, if someone had told him that he would fall in love with this woman, he would have thought that person was crazy.
But now, watching her drinking, he no longer felt the slightest bit of disgust. He even felt that the joy and excitement that could not be concealed between her eyebrows when she drank was particularly cute and touching.
Li Wan smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's not bad, mainly because the rice wine here is delicious."
The rice wine was not intoxicating at first, but as the aftereffect came, Li Wan was actually a little intoxicated. Her fair face was slightly flushed, and her lips were soaked in the wine, like ripe fruits, tempting to pick. Her pair of peach blossom eyes were full of gleaming light, and when she looked at you with watery eyes, she could make anyone indulge in her.
When paying the bill, the 10-year-old male waiter looked at Li Wan and blushed. The barcode scanner tried several times before it succeeded. When he left, his face was red.
"Let's go." Li Wan stood up and said.
"Okay." Yuan Yang stood up.
The two walked out side by side.
The two of them had just left.
Li Zelin watched the two of them leave with a frown on his face, and said to Zhou Mengying who was sitting opposite him, "Let's go."
Zhou Mengying was startled and quickly stood up.
For some reason, Li Zelin seemed to be in a bad mood. No matter what she said during the meal, his reaction was very cold. There were several silences in the middle. She even suspected that he didn't hear what she said at all. Obviously, he was in a good mood when they just met...
She originally wanted to sit for a while longer, but she didn't expect him to leave so soon.
Zhou Mengying suppressed the disappointment in her eyes and followed Li Zelin out.
Li Zelin's steps were hurried, as if he was in a hurry to chase someone.
"Would you like to take a walk before going back?"
This sentence had been brewing in his stomach for countless times before he finally said it out loud. However, after saying it, he did not feel relieved. Yuan Yang was so nervous that his palms began to sweat.
Just as Li Wan was about to speak, he heard a cold voice coming from behind him.
"Li Wan."
This familiar voice and tone made Li Wan stunned for a moment, then he turned around slowly and looked over.
Zhou Mengying, who was standing next to Li Zelin, was also stunned for a moment. She felt that Li Wan's back looked familiar... Wasn't it the one Li Zelin saw when he first entered the door? ... When Li Wan turned around in confusion, Zhou Mengying saw her face clearly, and her heart was immediately alarmed, and the cordon was raised to the highest level.
"Brother?" Li Wan was a little surprised when he saw Li Zelin, "Why are you here?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the woman standing next to him.
She looked to be about the same age as Secretary Kim. She wasn’t very pretty, but very intellectual, with a good temperament. She was wearing a white dress and had excellent manners.
After hearing Li Wan's address to Li Zelin, Zhou Mengying's cordon and tense nerves immediately relaxed.
Li Zelin stared at Li Wan, "Come here."
Li Wan's heart trembled twice, and she realized belatedly that she was a little guilty. She moved in front of him and gave him a sweet and flattering smile, "Brother, what a coincidence, you are also having dinner here with your friends."
Li Zelin stared at her with heavy eyes and said nothing.
Zhou Mengying took the initiative to greet Li Wan, "You are Ze Lin's sister, right? Nice to meet you. I am your brother's college classmate. My name is Zhou Mengying. We happened to have dinner here today. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. You can call me sister."
Li Wan smiled politely yet distantly, "Li Wan."
At this time, Yuan Yang came up from behind, "Boss Li."
Li Zelin glanced at him coldly.
Zhou Mengying's eyes fell on Yuan Yang, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She secretly praised him in her heart, and asked with a teasing smile, "Is he your boyfriend?"
After these words were spoken, the three people at the scene had different expressions.
Li Zelin pursed his lips, his face still seemed cold and emotionless, but a storm was gathering in his eyes.
Yuan Yang's heart skipped a beat and his heartbeat quickened. He was secretly looking forward to Li Wan's answer.
Li Wan just smiled very naturally and said, "It's a colleague from the company."
Yuan Yang's heart, which was pounding with blood, was instantly immersed in cold water.
Li Zelin walked towards the car without saying a word.
Zhou Mengying smiled apologetically at Li Wan and Yuan Yang, then chased after them.
Li Wan stood there, watching Li Zelin walk to the car without looking back and open the door. Then he suddenly stopped and paused for two seconds. He turned around and his deep black eyes fell on her face. "Are you not going home yet?"
Zhou Mengying's heart skipped a beat before she realized that Li Zelin was talking to Li Wan.
But her heartbeat couldn't help but quicken. It was the first time she saw Li Zelin's expression and eyes like this. She even hoped that Li Zelin's heavy gaze with a hint of anger just now was on her.
When Li Zelin saw Li Wan coming over, he got into the car and closed the door.
Zhou Mengying hesitated between the co-pilot seat and the back seat, but finally sat in the co-pilot seat.
Then he watched Li Wan say goodbye to the handsome young man and walk over here.
"It seems I can't take a walk with you." Li Wan said helplessly.
"It's okay, you can go back first." Yuan Yang said.
Li Wan nodded, then walked towards Li Zelin's car. She saw Zhou Mengying sit in the passenger seat, open the back door and get in.
The atmosphere in the car was a little cold.
Zhou Mengying smiled and warmed up the crowd, "I heard from Junjie before that you have a very beautiful sister, who is as pretty as an angel. I have always been curious about what she looks like. Today I finally got to see her. I didn't expect Junjie to not exaggerate at all."
Li Zelin didn't respond to her and drove with a cold face.
Seeing her good intentions, Li Wan couldn't bear to embarrass her, so she asked, "Are you college classmates?"
Zhou Mengying heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Li Wan answering the question. She immediately had a better impression of Li Wan, "Yes."
She smiled and glanced at Li Zelin, "You don't know how hard it was to approach your brother when he was in college. I slowly got to know him after experiencing repeated failures. This time I finally came back from abroad, and I asked him out for dinner for several days, but he said he was busy. It was only this afternoon that he told me he was free, so I had to cancel the appointment just to have dinner with him."
It seemed like a sweet complaint.
However, Li Wan caught some information from these words.
The afternoon that Zhou Mengying mentioned, did it mean after she and Li Zelin told her that she would not be going home for dinner that night?
"But what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you there." Zhou Mengying said with a smile.
Li Wan also laughed dryly, "Yeah, what a coincidence."
At this time Zhou Mengying said, "By the way, Zelin, you should take your sister home first."
Li Zelin, who had been silent all the way, finally spoke, "She lives with me."
Zhou Mengying was stunned for two seconds, then said, "Do you live together? That's fine."
There was something insincere about these words. She had originally wanted Li Zelin to send Li Wan back first, and then she could be alone with Li Zelin. She also wanted to ask Li Zelin to have a drink or two, but now all that was no longer possible.
The car stopped outside the gate of a five-star hotel in Yunlin City.
"Then I'll go up first." Zhou Mengying turned to Li Wan and said, "Wan Wan, let's have dinner together someday if we have a chance."
Li Wan smiled, nodded, and said goodbye to her.
Zhou Mengying got out of the car and closed the door.
Li Zelin drove away without stopping.
Li Wan turned around and looked back, and saw Zhou Mengying standing on the side of the road still looking at this side.
Li Zelin drove the car less than 300 meters forward before pulling over and saying, "Sit in the front."
Li Wan obediently moved from the back seat to the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.
"You said you want to treat someone to a meal, do you mean him?" Li Zelin asked coldly.
Li Wan hummed and honestly explained, "I owe him rent, and I will pay it back after I get my salary. I said before that I would treat him to a meal after I get my salary."
Li Zelin pursed his lips tightly, with a hint of anger.
The two of them entered the house one after the other.
Li Wan changed into slippers and followed Li Zelin.
Li Zelin, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and stared at her with serious eyes.
Li Wan almost bumped into him, but she stopped in time, took a small step back, and looked up at him.
"You would rather owe others money than take my money?" Li Zelin looked at her coldly and said sarcastically, "Should I praise you for having backbone?"
Li Wan was stabbed and pursed her lips.
"I just want you to believe me." Li Wan looked up at Li Zelin, staring into his eyes that concealed a storm. His cheeks were still red from the alcohol, but his eyes were unusually clear. "I said, I just want you to love me. I don't want you to misunderstand me, not even a little bit."
Li Zelin stared at her deeply, almost looking into the deepest part of her eyes. After a while, he said, "I'm not that stupid."
Li Wan was silent for a few seconds before she smiled slowly and helplessly, "But I still don't dare."
Li Wan looked at Li Zelin, her eyes slightly reddened, "Brother, you will never be able to understand how I feel now, the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world, losing everything and walking into the endless darkness alone."
She lowered her head in panic and said in a low voice, "Do you know what Li Rou said to me when you went to get the documents that day?"
She smiled softly, "She said that if I still had a little self-respect, I should stay away from you..."
Li Zelin's eyes changed slightly, and his heart ached.
He suddenly remembered that he was called back by his parents that day, and they handed him a bank card and a document as a cover.
When he went out, he saw Li Rou and Li Wan standing together, as if they were talking about something.
There was something slightly wrong with Li Rou's expression at that time.
That's why Li Wan insisted on returning the money she spent on the skirt he bought for her and refused any financial help from him.
"I just don't want to be looked down upon by her." Li Wan raised her head and looked at Li Zelin seriously and firmly. "I don't want to be looked down upon by anyone."
Then she was embraced by the man.
Li Zelin's deep voice sounded solemnly above her head, as if declaring, "As long as I am here, no one can look down on you."
Li Wan buried herself in Li Zelin's arms, her tears instantly soaking his shirt.
