That night, Li Jingran did not eat and was not in the mood to work in the study. The Butler could not help but say, “Director Li, you haven’t contacted Miss Xu for a day. Do you want to arrange for someone to ask?”
Li Jingran snorted coldly and clutched the document in his hand. “No need to ask.”
If she wanted to leave, then let her go.
The Butler pursed his lips. Why did he feel that the Big Boss was forcing himself?
As an old man at the Li family, he could actually see that Li Jingran was not in a good mood.
He sighed and had no choice but to leave the study room.
The next morning, the door of the study room was still open, and a strong and pungent smoke wafted out of the room.
The Butler passed by the stairwell and smelled the strong smoke. He coughed a few times and frowned.
Li Jingran had never smoked so much. What made him suddenly smoke so much today?
The Butler thought of Xu Wanwan’s departure and guessed that Li Jingran must have been worried about this matter.
He carefully pushed open the door of the study room and asked while delivering the documents, “Director Li, Miss Xu has been gone for a day. Aren’t you worried?”
Li Jingran had been working all night on official business. At this moment, his eyes were dark and his brows were pinched in exhaustion.
Seeing that he had no intention of answering, the Butler guessed that he probably did not want to say anything, so he sighed and prepared to leave.
“Go and find out where Xu Wanwan went yesterday.”
The Butler had already walked to the door when Li Jingran suddenly said this.
“Yes, I’ll go check it out right now.” A trace of surprise appeared in the Butler’s eyes and he hurriedly went to investigate.
As long as he could help Director Li successfully find Xu Wanwan, his bonus for this month would definitely not be gone.
An hour later, the Butler pushed open the door of the study room again with the information he had investigated.
But this time, his expression was a little grave.
Li Jingran frowned. “Where did she go?”
The Butler hesitantly turned on his phone, took out the photo inside, and handed it to Li Jingran.
“Miss Xu seems to be with the Second Young Master…”
Li Jingran’s expression suddenly turned cold. He stared at the photo on the screen, and his fingers exerted so much strength that he almost crushed the phone.
In the photo, Xu Wanwan was sitting in the back seat of Li Xuyi’s motorcycle. The two of them were very close to each other, looking quite ambiguous.
He tried to cover up the emptiness in the house with a cheerful variety show.
But he could not control his heart.
As he watched the TV, he would always imagine Xu Wanwan sitting cross-legged on the sofa, eating potato chips and watching TV.
He turned off the TV irritably and got up to go back to his room.
‘When he reached the corner of the stairs, he suddenly stopped. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to go to Xu Wanwan’s room to have a look.
When he pushed open the door of the room, he could no longer see the girl lying on the bed with her legs crossed and playing on the computer.
His eyes were dark and uncertain. He looked at the clean room as if there was something missing.
‘When he walked to the table, his gaze became fixed on the computer, and his aura turned even gloomier.
She really left just like that. She did not even bring the computer that he had given her.
Li Jingran sat in front of the table gloomily. He picked up the diary in the corner of the table and flipped it open to take a look.
He did not have the habit of peeking, but there was nothing left in the room.
The diary was hidden in the corner of the table and seemed to have been forgotten.
He flipped to a random page, saw his name, and froze.
The girl’s delicate handwriting was printed on the white paper—
October 15th. Sunny Day. “Mr. Li seems to have neglected me. Did I do something wrong to make him hate me?”
October 16th. Cloudy Day. “I’m not in a good mood today. Mr. Li didn’t eat the food I cooked.”
October 17th. Sunny Day. “Mr. Li worked overtime and came home late. I secretly opened the door and saw him go upstairs
October 30th. “Autumn has arrived, and it was very windy when I came home tonight. I talked to Mr. Li’s fiancée. I was a little disappointed, but I couldn’t change anything, I know it’s troublesome for me to stay in the Li family. I can’t be so selfish and put Mr. Li in a difficult position for my own selfish
desires.”
Seeing this, Li Jingran’s pupils constricted, his heart feeling as if it was suddenly stabbed.
His slender fingers pinched the pages of the diary and gradually closed them.
“T’ve thought for a long time and stood in the wind for a long time. In the end, I decided to leave Mr. Li. Compared to my selfish desires, I hope he can be with a better person. I hope he can have a better life.”
“Ican’t blame anyone. It’s me who doesn’t deserve to stay by his side.”
“Autumn is really suitable for parting. I hope that when I leave tomorrow, the wind will be less strong, I want to leave quietly.”
