Chapter 195: Keeping Himself Safe for Her
His mood was already gloomy, and because he had drunk alcohol, he looked even colder. His entire body exuded a cold and lonely aura.
Secretary Lin calmed down. When she thought of how decisive and fierce Director Li was at the negotiation table just now, her heart could not help but tremble.
It had been a long time since she had seen her own CEO act like this.
However, she had been by Li Jingran’s side for so many years and had experienced quite a few big scenes. Now that she had calmed herself down, she took a step forward and said, “Director Li, the hotel has been booked. Please rest early.”
After she finished speaking, she carefully handed over the room card.
Li Jingran glanced down and took the room card. Without saying a word, he turned around and went upstairs.
Secretary Lin finally sent him off. It could be considered that she had finished her work for the day, and she finally let out a sigh of relief.
When she turned to leave, she wondered, “I don’t know what happened to Director Li today. He was in a bad mood during the negotiation…”
Li Jingran went to the presidential suite on the upper floor of the hotel.
After entering the door, he threw away his suit jacket, raised his hand to loosen his tie, and walked to the window to take out his phone for a look.
There was not a single message in his inbox.
His eyes darkened. His slender fingers slowly moved down the screen of the phone and finally settled on Xu Wanwan’s line.
He clicked on it. There was still the last message she sent him.
Li Jingran was annoyed. He was about to put away his phone when he saw Li Xuyi’s private message on WeChat.
He opened it with a cold face. When he saw the content, the veins on the back of his hand bulged. His taut side profile showed his dissatisfaction.
In the photo, Xu Wanwan and Li Xuyi were in an unfamiliar place. They seemed very happy.
The man narrowed his long and narrow eyes. His body was colder than the clear moonlight outside the window. His hand that was holding the phone paused inadvertently, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his lips.
Ha, she couldn’t wait to be with Li Xuyi after leaving him?
Li Jingran stood in front of the window and pondered for a long time. He dialed a number and said in a low voice, “Send someone to follow Xu Wanwan and send me her whereabouts every day.”
The moment he turned off the phone, the coldness in his eyes almost seeped out.
One o’clock in the morning.
Zhou Lin walked briskly to the door of the presidential suite. She looked down at her black silk pajamas and deliberately pulled the shoulder strap, revealing the most eye-catching part.
Her red lips curved slightly, and a hint of pride appeared on her face with delicate makeup.
Xu Wanwan, I’d like to see if this man will keep his virginity for you?
She did not believe that Li Jingran could refuse her and choose a young girl.
She opened the door and carefully walked in.
The lights were not turned on in the room, and the man on the bed was lying on his side. Under the moonlight, the smooth muscles on his back were full of male charm.
Zhou Lin suppressed the excitement in her heart and walked toward Li Jingran in small steps.
She didn’t dare to make a big noise, afraid that she would wake the man up and her efforts would be wasted.
She walked to the opposite side of Li Jingran and looked at him with a smile for a few seconds. Suddenly, she thought of something and took out her phone to take a few photos of herself.
The background of the photos was the big bed in the hotel, and Li Jingran was lying on the bed. She deliberately stayed close to him, so the photos she took were ambiguous.
Zhou Lin curled her lips in satisfaction and put away her phone.
She tugged at the collar of her pajamas, her body emitting an alluring perfume smell.
When she was lying next to Li Jingran, she looked at the man’s handsome side profile, her heart thumping, and she couldn’t help but move her lips closer.
“Get lost.”
Just as she was about to kiss the man in excitement, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
Zhou Lin instantly opened her eyes and saw that Li Jingran had woken up and was staring at her coldly.
“Jing… Jingran, you’re awake?”
Zhou Lin inadvertently brushed the strands of hair on her forehead, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a standard smile.
Li Jingran lifted the quilt, got off the bed, and put on his clothes. He looked at the woman in front of him with disgust. “I’ll give you three seconds to get out of here.”
“Jingran, why are you so fierce to me?” Zhou Lin pouted. “I know you’re on a business trip, so I took a leave of absence to come here to accompany you. Can’t you accompany me?”
She got off the bed as she spoke, walked to the man, and reached out to hug him.
Li Jingran frowned and took a few steps back quietly. He looked at Zhou Lin with cold eyes.
“I’ll give you face. If you don’t get lost, the entire A City will be in the news tomorrow.”
Zhou Lin was stunned. She was very unwilling, but she didn’t dare to go forward.
She understood Li Jingran and knew that he would definitely do these things.
“Jingran, don’t reject me so quickly.”
Zhou Lin raised her head slightly, still wanting to maintain her original pride. “One day, you’ll find out how good I am and accept me.”
She was the most compatible person with Li Jingran.
She believed that he would choose him sooner or later.
Li Jingran did not look at her again. He picked up the phone with a cold expression and dialed the hotel security department’s number right in front of her.
Only then did Zhou Lin grit her teeth and run away dejectedly.
She ran out of the hotel in one breath and panted slightly. When she thought of the look of disdain on the man’s face just now, she felt even more displeased.
What was it that Xu Wanwan has that she could not compare to?
Li Jingran could really save himself for her!
She narrowed her eyes and flipped through the photo she took just now. A hint of calculation flashed through her eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the design competition started as scheduled.
On this day, Xu Wanwan had especially worn a simple and elegant black dress. She put on a light layer of makeup and packed up before leaving the house.
This design competition had a great influence on the entire design industry, so not only were there big shots in the design industry, but there were also media reporters present.
Xu Wanwan sat backstage with a lot of other participating students and waited.
Under the host’s grand introduction, the design competition officially began.
The famous designer below the stage, Liu Wenfang, would give them a design theme and request that they design a work that would make people’s eyes shine.
“Have you heard? The person who came up with the question this time is the famous teacher Liu Wenfang in the design world. I heard that his taste has always been tricky. The question this time should be very difficult.”
“Why haven’t we heard? That Liu Wenfang has always been at odds with Master Nanshan. Who knows if he will deliberately make things difficult for us?”
Zhou Lin also came to participate today. She sat in the front row with dignity. When she heard these words, she said unhappily, “If you don’t have the ability to participate, then don’t come out and embarrass yourselves. Don’t blame the teacher who came up with the question when you lose the competition.”
When Xu Wanwan heard this voice, she subconsciously looked over.
She saw that the woman in the purple dress was confident and generous. When she spoke, the corners of her lips revealed a charming smile.
