Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Hmph, she had only been away for a few years, and someone was already so eager to get close to Li Jingran?

But this girl was too ordinary, how could she compare to him?

Xu Wanwan stopped in her tracks and clenched her fists by her side. “I’m not a servant.”

With that, she left quickly. She did not want to stay here any longer.

Li Jingran looked at the girl’s back as she left and frowned.

“Jingran, let’s eat first. We’ll talk about other things after we finish eating.”

Li Jingran retracted his gaze, his expression turning even colder. “I’m not interested in you.”

The smile on Zhou Lin’s lips froze. “Is it because of that little maid?”

“She’s a member of the Li family.” Li Jingran glanced at her. He was not angry, but he was rather threatening. “If you say that again, I’ll get someone to send you out immediately.”

Zhou Lin laughed lightly. “Li Jingran, have your taste gone bad now?”

“I thought you weren’t that shallow, but now it seems that I’ve overestimated you. You’re just like those people who only judge people by their appearance.”

Li Jingran didn’t care what she said at all. He said directly, “The engagement between you and I was set by my parents. I’ll have someone come to apologize to you some other day.”

“What do you mean?”

“Cancel the engagement.”

Just these two words made the beautiful woman panic.

Zhou Lin forced herself to be calm. “Li Jingran, wake up.”

“In the entire A City, the only person who can stand by your side is me, and only me.”

“Only through marriage can our Zhou family and the Li family stand side by side and create greater benefits together. But if you want to play for a few more years, I can wait for you.”

Li Jingran said unhappily, “Are you done?”

“I’m done.” Zhou Lin stood up and blinked. “I hope you’ll think about it carefully.”

Li Jingran didn’t even look at her and said to the Butler, “See the guest out.”

When Zhou Lin left, she raised her head proudly, but there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

She was just a girl who was still wet behind the ears. What right did she have to win Li Jingran’s heart?

She has the looks, the money, and her family’s status could also contend with the Li family.

How could he reject her for a girl?

“Director Li, do you need me to call for Miss Xu?”

The Butler looked at the empty dining room and couldn’t help but ask.

Today was Li Jingran’s birthday. Xu Wanwan had prepared for a long time, but because of Zhou Lin’s appearance, the two of them were not happy.

This was something that the Butler could still see.

Li Jingran casually picked up the cake that Zhou Lin had brought and threw it into the trash can. He quietly looked at the cake Xu Wanwan had prepared, and his eyes gradually darkened.

The Butler said in a low voice, “Director Li, this is the cake that Miss Xu personally made for you.”

“Actually, Miss Xu has prepared for many days for your birthday…”

Li Jingran said calmly, “Got it.”

The Butler stopped talking and left.

Li Jingran stood in the dining room for a while, then turned around and went to Xu Wanwan’s room.

He pushed the door open and saw the girl sitting in front of the desk gloomily, as if she was writing something.

“What are you doing?”

Xu Wanwan immediately closed the diary and said lightly, “Just writing something.”

“You’re not celebrating my birthday. Why are you hiding here alone?”Li Jing leaned over and looked at her, his voice inexplicably low.

Xu Wanwan pursed her lips and tried hard to adjust her emotions. She looked up at the man and smiled. “Has your friend left?”

Although she was a little unhappy, it was Li Jingran’s birthday after all. She didn’t want to affect the man’s mood because of her small emotions.

Li Jingran said indifferently, “Gone.”

“Okay.” Xu Wanwan tried hard to maintain her expression, but she still felt a little uncomfortable once she thought about this man being engaged to someone else.

For some reason, she felt as if her most precious treasure had been reserved.

Li Jingran looked down at her and explained, “We are not in the kind of relationship you think we are.”

Xu Wanwan was stunned, but she acted as if she didn’t care.

“Oh, you don’t have to tell me these things.”

Li Jingran chuckled. “What if I didn’t explain this to you and Miss Xu continues to stay in the room alone to sulk?”

Xu Wanwan said stubbornly, “I’m not that stingy. You’re also free to live your own life, so it’s normal for you to make friends.”

“I’m not friends with her,” Li Jingran said nonchalantly. “We just met when we were young and we got engaged by our parents.”

Xu Wanwan looked calm on the surface, but she was still happy in her heart.

She felt like her baby had been returned to her side.

“Okay! Since she’s already gone back, let’s go eat the birthday cake.”

Li Jingran’s eyes softened. “Okay.”

Back in the dining room, Xu Wanwan had already adjusted her mood. She filled the birthday cake with eight candles and said with a smile, “Twenty-eight years old, just eight candles.”

“Hurry up and make a wish!”

Li Jingran looked at the girl’s small face under the candlelight as if he was also affected by her emotions. He actually put his hands together and made a wish toward the candles.

The first thing he saw when he blew out the candle was Xu Wanwan’s expectant and satisfied gaze.

His heart seemed to be surrounded by a layer of softness that was sweeter than a cake.

After eating the cake, Xu Wanwan did not take the initiative to ask when she heard the man take the initiative to say, “The cake was made very well.”

Xu Wanwan was a little embarrassed by his compliment. She smiled and said, “I especially learned it. If you like it, that’s good..”

“I heard that you’ve been preparing for my birthday for a long time?” Li Jingran, in his good mood, leaned against the sofa and suddenly asked.

Xu Wanwan said humbly, “I haven’t been preparing for long.”

“I only heard that you don’t usually celebrate your birthday. I want to celebrate your birthday with you once so that you can experience the feeling of having someone being with you.”

Li Jingran lowered his eyes and chuckled, deliberately saying, “Miss Xu, this is very cruel.”

“Ah?”

“You only let me experience the feeling of having a birthday once. I won’t have anyone to accompany me in the future. Isn’t this cruel?” Li Jingran joked with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Xu Wanwan let out a sigh of relief and said seriously, “Well, if you don’t mind, I’ll celebrate your birthday every year from now on, okay?”

Li Jingran’s thin lips curved slightly. “Really?”

“Of course it’s true! It’s not difficult.”

Li Jingran glanced at her and deliberately said in a heavy tone, “I’m already so old. If you fall in love with a young and handsome man in the future, will you still think of me?”

After he said that, a hint of nervousness appeared on his face.

He had wanted to ask this question more than once, so he took the opportunity today to ask.

Xu Wanwan blinked her eyes and thought for a while.

She said seriously, “I probably won’t like someone younger than you. Besides, you’re very handsome even at twenty-eight.”

“Besides, you’re so good to me. How can I bear to leave you?”
