“You two…”
...Seeing his granddaughter’s slightly fierce expression, Old Master Li was slightly stunned. His eyes were filled with suspicion as he sized up the faces of the two juniors.
“I don’t know her!”
“I don’t know him!”
The two of them said in unison.
The old man turned his head to look at Xu Wenping’s father in confusion. The two of them looked at each other and saw some deep meaning in their eyes. Then, they laughed loudly.
“Xiao Xu, it seems that the two of us old men will be redundant at this time. Forget it, forget it…Since I have nothing to do, why don’t you play a game of chess with me?”
Xu Shinian’s eyes lit up when Old Master Li spoke. He was nodding his head vigorously when he saw Old Master Li’s murderous gaze. “If you continue to act shamelessly, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
“How could that be?” Father Xu said awkwardly. “Even if 1 were to cheat, I wouldn’t dare to do it in front of you, Elder Li!”
“Bah, as if 1 would believe you!”
After the two old men left, Xu Wenping let out a laugh and walked forward with a strange smile. He grabbed Li Junlan’s hand and chuckled, “1 didn’t expect the world to be so small!? My… small wife?”
“Hmph!”
Li Junlan angrily let go of her hand and looked at Xu Wenping coldly. “If I had known it was you, 1 wouldn’t have agreed to Grandpa’s arrangement even if I had to commit suicide!”
“Oh, really?” When Xu Wenping heard this, he pretended to tease her again. He raised his index finger and fiddled with Li Junlan’s chin. He smiled and said, “Why are you so unyielding?”
“I was just thinking about it… Wouldn’t it be a little shameless if 1 slapped Miss Li’s butt? This is great… Isn’t it reasonable for me to slap my wife’s butt?”
Li Junlan’s face turned green and white. It was impossible to tell what she was feeling. Not to mention that others couldn’t tell, Li Junlan herself didn’t know what she was thinking at this moment.
Looking at Xu Wenping’s face, Li Junlan was angry, resentful, and furious. However, for some reason, a hint of tenderness and sweetness surged from the bottom of her heart. She could not suppress it.
Li Junlan’s face turned slightly red. She snorted coldly and said, “You really don’t know any shame by saying this in public!”
“Forget it. I’m the one who came to your house. Aren’t you going to show me around your territory?”
Hearing this, Xu Wenping smiled gently and elegantly stretched out his hand. “Then, please familiarize yourself with the environment first.”
The two of them strolled in the courtyard.
In fact, Xu Wenping rarely moved around in such a big villa. After all, although he bought this place, he hadn’t lived here for long. He had never been to places like the seaside attic and swimming pool.
The two of them tacitly wanted to avoid the eyes and ears of the elders. Therefore, they walked out of the corridor silently and paced around the beach. Because they were noisy at the beginning, there were a few minutes of awkwardness when they strolled around.
Xu Wenping wanted to turn his head to break the coldness, but he suddenly felt his arm go soft. Li Junlan actually took the initiative to hold his arm.
Xu Wenping was stunned for a moment before he smiled.
Just as he turned his head and wanted to say something, he saw Li Junlan’s eyes filled with indifference. Her arms were wrapped around him in a formalized manner as she said indifferently, “Alright, 1 know what you want to say. You don’t have to say those sweet words to me to deal with your little sisters.”
“I was born in a family. Since you have power, my grandfather insisted that 1 be your concubine. I’ll do as you say, but you want me to fall in love with you, hmph…!”
“You’re still far from it!”
Xu Wenping’s words were stuck in his throat. It had to be said that Li Junlan’s cold and disdainful gaze was like a reborn empress.
Li Junlan continued, “After 1 graduated from the University of Finance and Economics, I stayed in the US. 1 built a business on my own. I’m not the kind of vase that only relies on men. Although I have such a status, 1 don’t want…”
As Li Junlan spoke, her expression became even colder. It was like she was facing other men. There was disdain, pity, and extreme resistance.
But at this moment, she suddenly realized that Xu Wenping’s arm had been pulled out of her hand. Xu Wenping rubbed his chin and revealed a strange smile.
Li Junlan frowned slightly.
Xu Wenping took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up. He stared at Li Junlan’s face. This kind of undisguised scrutiny actually made Li Junlan panic a little.
“Look at what I’m saying. Do I, Xu Wenping, look like someone who plays with a woman’s feelings?”
“We bumped into each other in the gym. 1 just thought you were interesting. Although my words were a little rude, they seemed to be within the range of what you could accept. 1 didn’t go overboard, right?”
“Huff…”
The smoke ring that Xu Wenping exhaled had yet to take shape when it was blown away by the breeze by the sea. Xu Wenping patted Li Junlan’s shoulder and said, “It’s time to go back. My house is too big. I didn’t notice it after walking around. It’s already afternoon.”
“I understand what you mean. When I go back, I’ll tell Old Master Li that I’ve never taken this stupid engagement seriously.”
Xu Wenping calmly turned around and walked back. Li Junlan’s eyes flashed with a faint surprise, but she quickly followed him. Hmph, this old lady had seen too many of such tricks.
I don’t believe that you would dare to mention it to my grandfather!
When everyone came back, Mother Xu had already prepared a table full of rice, stewed old hen, and braised big carp. Although Mother Xu had a faint smile on her face, she did look a little worried. Seeing that Xu Wenping and Li Junlan were not close when they entered the house, Xu Wenping’s mother heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time, Old Master Li’s nose was red and his eyes were swollen. He told Xu Wenping’s father that he would never compete with him in the future.
Seeing Xu Wenping and Xu Wenping enter, Old Master Li’s expression eased a little. He smiled and said, “How did it go?”
Xu Wenping sat down with a smile. He turned his head and looked at Li Junlan meaningfully. Then, he said to Old Master Li, “It wasn’t much, Old Master Li… I don’t like your granddaughter very much. You can bring her back tonight.”
Old Master Li’s expression froze, and Xu Wenping’s father was also slightly stunned.
But at this moment, Xu Wenping’s mother smiled and said, “Yeah… Old Master Li. If you say that our two families are on good terms, then there’s definitely no problem. However, Wenping already has a wife. It’s not the old society now. Who can bear to see you have three wives and four concubines?”
Li Junlan hadn’t even sat down when her fingers trembled slightly.
She had thought of many ways Xu Wenping could be tactful, but she had never expected Xu Wenping to be honest and say, “I don’t like her!”
