The Evil Villainess' Sweet Love Story

Chapter 10

Xu Wanwan placed the last dish on the table. She rested her arm on the table and let out a breath.

She had finally finished making breakfast in time. She hoped that Li Jingran would listen to her explanation later.

"What are you doing here?"

A cold voice suddenly came from behind her. Xu Wanwan's heart shuddered, and she turned her head around in panic.

She looked at the serious man timidly, her heart pounding like a drum for some reason. She stammered, "I... I actually..."

Li Jingran frowned and looked at the delicious dishes on the table. "Didn't you say you would cook once a week?"

Xu Wan lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look into the man's eyes again.

It was not easy for her to get Li Jingran to take her in, and it was also the first time she was protected by someone. She thought that as long as she was obedient, she would be able to stay here.

However, she had said the wrong thing yesterday and was about to be chased away.

The more Xu Wanwan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her nose was sore, and there was a surge of heat in her eyes. She could not help but cry.

She thought that she would be able to live peacefully for a period of time under Li Jingran's protection.

She had lived for eighteen years in her past life, but she had never experienced the feeling of being protected in the palm of someone's hand.

In this life, Li Jingran gave her a sense of security. She wished that she could stay.

Xu Wanwan could no longer control her emotions. Her thin shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and her soft sobs were particularly piercing.

Li Jingran stood rooted to the ground, looking at the girl who had suddenly burst into tears. He was momentarily at a loss.

Could it be that he had spoken harshly just now and scared the girl to tears?

He pondered for a moment and spoke slower. "I'm not blaming you. Why are you crying?"

Xu Wanwan looked up, and a drop of crystal clear tears fell from her cheek. She said carefully, "I didn't lose my memory. I shouldn't have kept it from you..."

"I was wrong. Can you not chase me away? I'll study hard and be good in the future. When I become stronger, I'll help you, okay?"

After saying that, she blinked her teary eyes and stared at Li Jingran.

Li Jingran's tense heart relaxed. Looking at the girl's pitiful look, he didn't want to continue asking.

He even felt a little regretful.

If he had known that he would make this girl think so much, he wouldn't have left her alone at the mall yesterday.

"None of this is important. You're now a member of the Li family." Li Jingran took out a piece of paper from the napkin box on the dining table and helped Xu Wanwan wipe away her tears. He said in a low voice, "I hope you don't have to live so tiredly. You don't have to give face to other people anymore. You have to live with confidence."

Xu Wanwan's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she felt the man's cold fingertips sliding across her face. It was as if a gentle breeze blew across her heart, stirring up ripples.

He actually didn't blame her, but he had instead comforted her.

For some reason, she felt like crying at this moment.
