Chapter 84 – Resting in Her Room

Xu Wanwan quickly brewed a cup of honey water for hangover and carefully carried the cup to the man.
“I brewed it with warm water. Drink some quickly. It’s very uncomfortable to be drunk otherwise.”
Li Jingran took the cup, opened his thin lips slightly, and drank a few mouthfuls.
Xu Wanwan saw that he had finished drinking and still looked worried. “Why did you drink so much?”
Drinking was bad for one’s health. After a hangover, one would still have a headache. She had thought that a person of Li Jingran’s status could avoid this.
“It’s necessary for work,” Li Jingran put the cup aside and said calmly.
“Did the Li Corporation run into any trouble?”
“No.”
Xu Wanwan was puzzled. “Then why did you come find me? Is there something wrong?”
Since the Li Corporation did not run into any trouble, why did he come to her?
Moreover, it was already very late. Usually, Li Jingran would not enter her room at this time.
Li Jingran raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl. “I’m not welcome?”
“It’s not…” Xu Wanwan touched the tip of her nose and whispered, “It’s just that every time you come to see me, you have something to say. I thought you wanted to tell me something.”
Hearing this, the emotions in Li Jingran’s eyes dimmed for a while.
He didn’t say anything else. He rubbed his aching temples and said in a low voice, “Turn off the lights. I’ll rest here tonight.”
Xu Wanwan couldn’t help but open her mouth. “Ah? You want to rest here?”
She couldn’t understand Li Jingran’s thoughts…
“It’s so late. Miss Xu, do you have the heart to kick me out?” Li Jingran opened his eyes and glanced at her, his tone leisurely.
“But your room is on the second floor. Even if you go back, it’s not far.”
Li Jingran’s eyes darkened. He took the opportunity to lie on the sofa. “I have a headache. I can’t leave.”
Xu Wanwan clutched the cuffs of her pajamas, feeling a little helpless.
At this moment, a cold and languid voice came from the sofa—
“Turn off the lights.”
“Uh… okay.”
Xu Wanwan turned around, turned off the lights at the bedside, took off her shoes, and returned to the bed.
She lay quietly for a while, unable to fall asleep.
The thought of Li Jingran still on the sofa behind her made her feel strange, and even her breathing became cautious.
The night was quiet, and as time trickled by, Xu Wanwan continued to toss and turn, unable to fall asleep.
She turned over and faced where Li Jingran was, suddenly remembering that he had not covered himself with the blanket.
It was already autumn. What if he caught a cold if she did not cover him with the blanket at night?
She got up quietly and pulled out a small blanket from the cabinet. She walked to the sofa in the dark and prepared to cover the man with the blanket.
Just as she was about to touch the sofa, her wrist accidentally knocked over the cup on the desk.
PA!
The crisp sound of the cup hitting the ground made Xu Wanwan’s heart tighten. She was in a hurry to clean up the mess.
However, the floor became too slippery. She lost her balance, and her body fell toward the sofa in front of her.
With a thud, she fell on top of the man’s body.
Xu Wanwan’s face quickly turned red. She was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth and tried not to make a sound.
After being stunned for a few seconds, she realized that the man below her did not move and inwardly released a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he did not wake up. Otherwise, she would have lost all her face.
Xu Wanwan readjusted her breathing. She supported herself on the inside of the sofa with both hands and carefully used her strength to escape from the man’s body.
Li Jingran opened his eyes and looked down at the figure attached to him. His thin lips curled slightly, and he turned his body.
Xu Wanwan was just about to get up when she fell heavily onto the man’s body again.
She cried out in shock, her face pressed against the man’s neck. She felt the boiling temperature emitted from that place and her heart kept beating faster.
“Miss Xu, do you not want to get up?”
Li Jingran smiled happily. Under the moonlight outside the window, he looked down at the profile of the girl’s face.
Xu Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat, and her face turned even redder.
He had woken up!
The situation was too awkward. She panicked, wanting to get up, but in her anxiousness, she ended up propping her hand on the man’s chest again.
Her palm was pressed against the slightly hard part of his abdomen. She quickly moved her hand away as if she had been scalded.
As soon as she moved her hand away, her center of gravity became unstable again and her body was about to fall down on the man again.
Xu Wanwan bit her lips tightly. She was filled with regret.
If she had known that so many unexpected things would happen, she would not have brought a blanket for Li Jingran.
Just as she was about to fall, a warm force suddenly appeared on her waist, holding her tightly.
Li Jingran held the girl’s waist with his palm, his voice carrying a hint of playful laughter. “Miss Xu, what are you doing?”
Xu Wanwan’s eyes widened in shock. She was so anxious that she wanted to cry. “I just wanted to get you a blanket. I really didn’t do it on purpose…”
Li Jingran could hear the trembling in the girl’s voice. He frowned slightly and with a bit of strength, he placed her on the sofa.
He chuckled. “If you didn’t do it on purpose, then why are you in such a hurry to explain?”
“Do you really not want to get close to me that much?”
Xu Wanwan sat on the sofa, still gasping for breath. “I’m just afraid that you’ll misunderstand.”
After all, she really didn’t have any other thoughts. If he misunderstood that she wanted to take advantage of him, it would be very embarrassing.
Hearing the soft voice beside his ear, most of Li Jingran’s drunkenness dissipated. He stopped teasing her and said calmly, “Well, go back to sleep.”
“Do you still want to sleep at my place?”
Xu Wanwan was a little surprised that he was not angry after what happened just now.
Li Jingran said in a low voice, “Didn’t you come to my room to sleep before?”
“So, it’s a return favor.”
Xu Wanwan almost choked.
It was her first time hearing that a return favor was necessary for such a thing…
But since Li Jingran said it, she could not refuse, so she could only obediently go back to her bed.
After this experience, Xu Wanwan could not fall asleep at all. She lay in bed for a long time, and only slowly fell asleep in the early morning.
Fortunately, she did not have to go to school the next day, or else she would definitely be late.
The next day, Xu Wanwan was woken up by the alarm in the morning. She turned around and fixed her gaze on the empty sofa.
The morning light shone in from the window, slanting onto the strawberries on the sofa.
Xu Wanwan clutched the corner of the quilt. The events of last night were still vivid in her mind and kept on playing in her mind again.
Recalling the real feeling of her falling on Li Jingran’s body, her neck turned completely red.
Xu Wanwan exhaled lightly and forced herself to forget about this matter.
Forget it, forget it. Anyway, it had already happened, so there was no point in dwelling on it.
Since she had nothing to do on the weekend, she finally did not have to rush to wash up. After slowly tidying up, she went to the dining room to prepare breakfast.
Aunt Zhang came over with a freshly cooked hot porridge. “Good morning, Miss Xu. It’s your day off. Please eat slowly.”
Even the servants at home knew that Xu Wanwan did not eat every morning, so they said so.
Xu Wanwan curved her lips and smiled at Aunt Zhang. Looking at the fragrant hot porridge in front of her, she picked up the spoon and was about to start eating..
