The low-key and luxurious black sedan slowly stopped.
"Mr. Li, we're here." said the young driver in the driver's seat.
Li Zelin didn't rush to get out of the car. He sat in the car and saw through the window from afar that Li Wan was sitting on the steps beside the gate, with his hands on his knees, his head buried, and curled up into a small ball. He looked like someone had abandoned him and was sitting there all alone, looking so pitiful.
Li Zelin sat in the car and watched for a long time before getting out and walking up to her.
"Li Wan." He called her name, without much tenderness in his tone.
Li Wan, who was curled up in a ball, moved, then slowly raised his head from his knees.
Then Li Zelin saw that the moment she saw him, the tears gathered in her eyes began to fall.
…
It’s not that Li Zelin has never seen her cry before. Four years ago, when he wanted to send her abroad, she cried and made a fuss in front of him. From childhood to adulthood, she had cried countless times at home. He alone had seen her cry so many times that he couldn’t even count them.
But he had never seen her cry like this before, silently, forbearingly, she just opened her deer-like eyes, looked at him with red eyes, and shed tears silently, as if she had suffered a great injustice, but dared not cry out loud.
Li Zelin frowned slightly: "Get up."
Li Wan looked drunk. She stood up from the ground with some difficulty, and then - threw herself into his arms.
A strong smell of alcohol mixed with a faint fragrance came over.
Li Zelin's body stiffened for a moment, his breathing slowed down, and then his brows frowned. He was extremely disgusted by this kind of intimate physical contact. He subconsciously wanted to push her away, but just as he held her shoulders, he couldn't move.
She is shivering.
The delicate shoulders were trembling under my palms.
She wrapped her arms around his waist, her hands tightly grasping his clothes, her face buried in his arms, her voice trembling, with infinite grievance and dependence: "Brother..."
Her tears easily wet his shirt, and the warm touch of her chest made Li Zelin frown even more tightly.
"Stop crying."
After saying this, Li Zelin did not expect Li Wan to really stop. Based on his previous "experience" of watching her crying with her parents, she would not only not stop, but might even cry even harder.
However, the person in his arms froze for a moment, "I'm sorry..." She raised her head carefully and apologized softly, her thick black eyelashes wet and tears welled up in her eyes.
Like an abandoned puppy afraid of making its owner hate it, it held back tears and tried to please its owner carefully.
An inexplicable feeling of irritation swept through his heart. Li Zelin attributed it to the smell of alcohol on Li Wan's body, frowned and taught him a lesson: "Who told you to drink so much?"
Li Wan seemed to be unable to listen to his words. She pressed her face against his chest again and nuzzled into his arms: "...I miss you so much, brother."
Li Zelin clamped her chin and lifted her face up. She tilted her pretty little face up, her pair of moist and misty peach blossom eyes looking at him innocently and blankly. The fair skin below her chin was stained red, and it was unknown how much she had drunk.
The two of them just stood on the side of the road hugging each other, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, the scene looked like they were filming a movie, causing passers-by to look around to see if there were any cameras.
Li Zelin stared at her for a long while, then suddenly let go of her chin and half-hugged her to the car. The young driver in a black suit had already opened the back door in advance, his eyes lowered, not daring to look around.
Li Zelin stuffed Li Wan into the passenger seat, then went around to the other side and got in the car.
The young driver started the car and asked, "Mr. Li, where are you going?"
Li Zelin asked Li Wan: "Where do you live now?"
Li Zelin's question received no response, instead his shoulders sank. He turned his head and saw Li Wan leaning her head on his shoulder with her eyes peacefully closed, and she fell asleep.
He frowned and wanted to push her away, but as soon as he raised his hand, he saw that her face was covered with traces of tears, her brows were furrowed even in her sleep, and there was a large red spot on her slender neck.
I don’t know how much he drank to get so drunk.
Li Zelin stared at her for a few seconds, put his hand down, and told the driver an address.
The young driver remained quiet and drove the car away smoothly.
…
Twenty minutes later.
The car stopped in front of the villa.
Li Zelin tried to wake Li Wan up but to no avail, so he carried her out of the car sideways.
The driver got out of the car and walked quickly to the front to open the door for Li Zelin. When he turned around, Li Wan's face, as beautiful as a rose after the rain, suddenly caught his sight. He was stunned, his eyes were a little dull, and suddenly he felt a cold gaze falling on his face. His heart suddenly jumped and he quickly lowered his head.
"You can go back now." Li Zelin walked in with Li Wan in his arms with an expressionless face.
The young male driver lowered his head and closed the door.
Li Zelin looked down at Li Wan in his arms. She pressed her face against his chest, as if she had infinite dependence and trust in him. Her moist black eyelashes covered her eyes, and her nose tip was red. She looked cute and well-behaved.
It was a rare event that evoked Li Zelin's very distant memories.
Li Wan wasn't always so annoying since she was a child.
When she was about three or four years old, she didn't know why, but she was particularly attached to him during that period, and she always said "brother, brother". Every morning when he went to school, she would follow him to the yard with tears in her eyes. When she came home from school, as soon as she got off the car, she would see a pink and tender little ball of flesh flying towards him with two thick little legs, and she would insist on being held by him. He picked her up, and she would become more and more aggressive and rub her chubby cheek against his face. At night, she would make a fuss and insist on sleeping with him. He didn't know why at that time, but he didn't hate her. Instead, he was particularly indulgent towards her.
Later she found out what happened and she stopped clinging to him. Instead, she treated him like a mouse seeing a cat.
He doesn't care.
...
Li Zelin carried Li Wan into the guest room and put her on the bed.
Li Wan woke up as soon as she touched the bed. She subconsciously grabbed Li Zelin's hand, clenched her fingers tightly, opened her wet peach blossom eyes, and looked at him anxiously: "Brother..."
Li Zelin looked at her: "Are you awake?"
Li Wan suddenly sat up from the bed and hugged his waist, pressing her face against his abdomen, choking with sobs: "I will be good and listen to you in the future...Brother...please don't leave me..."
Li Zelin recalled that when Li Wan was a child, she was afraid of thunder. At that time, her parents were not at home and there was only a nanny at home. She was awakened by thunder at night and couldn’t find her parents, so she came to his room crying, crawled into his bed, hugged him and said, "Brother, I'm scared."
He lowered his head.
Li Wan raised her beautiful fair face, and looked at him with a pair of beautiful wet eyes under her dense, almost lightless eyelashes, full of dependence and desire.
Li Zelin looked down at her. He was facing away from the light, and the expression on his face could not be seen in the dim light. After looking at her for a long time, he raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of Li Wan's eyes with his thumb: "Have a good sleep. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow after you sober up."
He took away Li Wan's hand that was holding her waist and ordered her, "Lie down."
Li Wan let go and lay down obediently.
Li Zelin bent down and pulled the quilt over her. Seeing that she was still staring at him with her black and moist eyes like a deer, he frowned slightly and said, "Close your eyes."
Li Wan immediately closed his eyes obediently.
Li Zelin pulled the quilt up to cover her neck, leaving only her little head exposed.
"Brother." Li Wan called him softly.
"Hmm?" Li Zelin looked at her. She still had her eyes closed, and her wet eyelashes were trembling slightly.
"You won't leave me, will you?" she asked softly with her eyes closed.
Complex emotions brewed in his deep black eyes, and it took a while before he responded.
"……Um."
The door was closed, the light from outside was completely isolated, and the room was plunged into complete darkness.
Li Wan slowly opened her eyes, her peach blossom eyes filled with tears and looking clear.
…
The next day, Li Wan got up from the bed feeling dizzy. Li Zelin was already dressed and sitting in the restaurant eating breakfast.
He glanced at me calmly and said, "Wash up and come over for breakfast."
Li Wan said "oh" dryly, and after a while he came back and asked with blinking eyes: "Boss Li, where is the bathroom?"
Mr. Li?
It seems that he is sober now.
Li Zelin glanced at her and then raised his chin.
A brand new set of toiletries was prepared in the bathroom.
After washing up, Li Wan tucked her hair behind her ears and walked out with a bare face.
Auntie brought Li Wan’s breakfast to the table and went back to the kitchen.
Li Wan thanked him and walked to the dining table and sat down.
This thank you made Li Zelin look at Li Wan again.
There are also two kinds of breakfast on the table.
Li Zelin had a cup of coffee and a half-eaten sandwich and a fried egg on his plate.
She had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, a bowl of porridge, a plate of steaming dumplings, and two side dishes.
Li Wan first picked up the orange juice and took a sip, then glanced at Li Zelin who was sitting opposite and eating slowly. Maybe because he didn't have to go to the company today, his black hair naturally fell down, covering half of his forehead. His intimidating aura was restrained a lot. He was wearing a light blue shirt with an open collar, revealing his slender neck. Even the way he ate was so elegant, it was really pleasing to the eye.
"What are you looking at?"
Li Zelin suddenly raised his eyes.
Li Wan swallowed the orange juice in his mouth with a gulp and said, "Nothing."
She always hesitates to talk nonsense when she is sober.
The two finished their breakfast in silence.
Li Zelin said, "Go back and change your clothes, and come back with me for dinner in the evening."
Li Wan looked at him in surprise.
Li Zelin glanced over calmly and said, "Your parents have raised you for so many years. Blood ties cannot be severed. Don't act like a child."
Li Wan pursed her lips a little aggrieved: "I'm not acting like a child, I'm just worried..."
Li Zelin said calmly: "Li Rou is more reasonable than you."
Li Wan: “…….”
Li Wan was silent for a moment, feeling a sense of suffocation.
"Okay, I understand."
She suppressed her anger.
Don't worry, everything needs to be done slowly.
At least now she has a chance to return to the Li family with a legitimate reason.
Moreover, she was really looking forward to Li Rou's reaction when she saw her appear at Li's house in the evening.
When Li Zelin came to pick her up in the evening, he found that she was wearing the clothes she had worn for the interview that day.
"I have no other clothes to wear." Li Wan got into the car, facing Li Zelin's scrutinizing gaze, and smiled at him a little embarrassedly.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the parking lot of the shopping mall under the Star Mall.
Li Zelin glanced at his watch and handed over a black card: "You have one hour."
Li Wan: “…”
…
Six o'clock in the evening.
"Dad, Mom, have some fruit." Li Rou placed the cut fruit on the coffee table.
Jiang Wanjiao said quickly: "Hey, why did you go to cut the fruit? There is an aunt at home, just let her do these things."
Li Rou smiled gently: "It's okay, I'm used to doing these things before."
Jiang Wanjiao sighed: "You are so sensible..."
She said this, but she suddenly thought of Li Wanlai in her heart. Her nose suddenly felt sore, and she quickly covered it up by saying, "Hurry up and sit down. Your brother will be back soon."
As he was speaking, he heard the sound of a car outside.
Jiang Wanjiao smiled and said, "It must be your elder brother who has returned."
Li Rou said, "I'll go take a look." and walked out.
As she reached the entrance, the door opened.
Li Zelin walked in.
Li Rou was very excited, with a smile on her face: "Brother, you are back."
Li Zelin nodded calmly, then turned around and said to the person behind him: "Come in."
Bringing guests?
Li Rou looked over curiously, but when she saw the person walking out from behind Li Zelin, the smile on her face froze.
Li Wan walked out from behind Li Zelin and smiled at Li Rou: "Good evening."
