Lin Wan Bai was startled.
Li Jiang Nan was afraid that she did not believe him, so he stressed out, "I did not intentionally retreat to advance, I really have given up!"
"Mr. Li, have you thought it through?" Lin Wan Bai's tone was joyful.
Although he was surprised to hear this sentence, it was a good thing!
"It's not that I have figured it out, it's that I have recognized the truth!" Li Jiang Nan shook his head, his hands behind his back. "Actually, the reason I came here today, is mainly because of yesterday's matter! I don't know that you did not send me that text message, if I knew, I would not go to the appointment, caused that kind of misunderstanding. After going back, I felt very sorry and it will be hard to calm down. After hesitating for a while, I decided to personally come to find Hutong to clarify the matter! "
When Lin Wan Bai heard this, he could not help but feel more gratitude and respect in his heart.
Li Jiang Nan had confessed to her before, so she could barely be considered as her pursuer. However, there wasn't any progress that could be made, and this kind of thing might be beneficial for him, but he chose to clarify it for her.
"It's just that I'm overdoing it. I don't need it for Hutong." Li Jiang Nan shrugged his shoulders and slowly continued, "I had already personally witnessed your feelings for the Hutong back in Hong Kong, but I did not expect him to not be affected by it at all. This also allows me to clearly see that there is no room for a third person between you two. No matter how hard I try, this hoe is destined to be unable to pry its way out of his corner! So, I choose to give up! "
Li Jiang Nan indeed did not think that this matter would have no effect on their relationship.
Lin Wan Bai was still his beloved target, but he would no longer hold onto thoughts of winning her over. Instead, he would bury all of his love in the bottom of his heart and give her his blessings. It wasn't that his love for her could be casually put down, but he had lost to Huo Chang Yuan, and he had lost with complete conviction.
Perhaps, as early as yesterday in the hotel, he already had the thought of giving up.
As a man, Li Jiang Nan could tell that Huo Chang Yuan's reaction was to trust her unconditionally.
Lin Wan Bai said sincerely, "Mr. Li, you will definitely meet an even better girl!"
Li Jiang Nan replied with a bright smile, then opened her mouth again, and her tone became much more resounding, "Your grandfather is my grandfather's friend, although we are of the same age, you are still older than me by two months, I will call you Lil'White from now on!"
"Sure …" Lin Wan Bai readily agreed.
Since his pursuer had become his younger brother, why not?
Li Jiang Nan took the initiative to say, "When the time comes, I will treat you to dinner. Don't worry, I will not only ask you out, but your family of three!"
"En!" Lin Wan Bai smiled.
After waving goodbye and watching Li Jiang Nan drive off, she turned around and returned to the villa.
After brewing the coffee and carrying it up to the second floor, the door to the study room was not closed tightly, there was a slit open, and Huo Chang Yuan seemed to have finished receiving and sending mail. His computer screen was lit up, his posture was very formal, wearing headphones, conducting a video conference with overseas, and hearing him speak fluent English.
Seeing that her head was leaning in, Huo Chang Yuan leaned forward and said into the earpiece, "Rest for five minutes first!"
Seeing that, Lin Wan Bai walked in with ease, and brought the coffee that he had just brewed to his side: "Huo Chang Yuan, the coffee you asked for!"
Looking at the conference materials spread out on the desk, she was surprised. She did not expect him to be so trustful. He was in a leisurely mood, having a meeting in the study room.
"How about it?" How about it? Seeing him drink, Lin Wan Bai immediately asked.
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan let out a single syllable. It was unknown if he answered less or not, but after putting down the coffee cup, he tapped twice on his watch with his index finger, "Why did you say it for more than twenty minutes?"
Lin Wan Bai could not help but laugh, she knew it!
He walked over and sat on his knees, then wrapped his arms around his neck and rebuked, "No way, it's just a few words. Didn't I already make some coffee? I've used up all the beans, so of course I've been grinded a little too long!"
"Yes." Only now did Huo Chang Yuan's tone relax.
Lin Wan Bai passed on the message to him, "Jiang Nan told me that he gave up, and even acknowledged me as his sister, calling me Lil'White!"
When Huo Chang Yuan heard the sound of "Jiangnan" changing words, his brows immediately furrowed, and only relaxed after hearing it.
Lin Wan Bai laughed and raised his hand, stroking the center of his forehead. His goal was to tell him that he could relax now, and not to worry about others trying to steal from him!
"You, on the other hand, do not give up!"
When she thought of Zheng Chu Yu, she also thought of something and asked, "Huo Chang Yuan, when you were at the hotel, what did you mean by saying that it was on behalf of Zheng Chu Yu's mother?"
Huo Chang Yuan told her that Lu Xue Fang and his mother had once been classmates in university, so they would send someone to send flowers for them on the day of their death.
"So that's how it is!" Hearing that, Lin Wan Bai nodded his head suddenly: "Although it is quite infuriating, it is still a prank. Otherwise, if Zheng Chu Yu's mind was any worse, the consequences would be unimaginable."
In terms of comparison, Zheng Chu Yu and Lin Yao Yao seemed to be the same kind of person, but it was not entirely the same. In terms of personality, both of them were rather dainty and arrogant, but in essence, they were very different.
At that time, both she and Li Jiang Nan were in disarray, but luckily, there was still a close protection for them. Worse comes to worse, they would just be at the beach, at least there was a way out, and it wouldn't cause an irreparable damage to them. It would also show that she was just playing a prank on Huo Chang Yuan, trying to make him angry and misunderstanding her.
Huo Chang Yuan snorted coldly.
If it wasn't for this, how could he still care about whose face he was on? He definitely wouldn't let her off lightly!
Huo Chang Yuan tightened his arm around her waist, and said with a congealed voice, "I'll go to Lu Mansion with you."
"En!" Lin Wan Bai nodded. Seeing the clock on his watch, she stood up from his lap, "It seems like five minutes have passed. Quickly continue the meeting, I'll go downstairs to accompany Dou Dou!"
Huo Chang Yuan bit her lips in agreement, and pinched her buttocks before she left.
When he turned on the computer again, the screen displayed a cross-oceanic image. In a meeting room, there were a few blond foreigners. When Lin Wan Bai lowered his head to pack up the tray and leave, he seemed to see someone's mouth asking him who she was.
Then, he heard Huo Chang Yuan reply in English, "It's my future wife."
Although he had heard the word 'fiancee' coming out of his mouth more than once, he couldn't help but throb every time.
Lin Wan Bai, who had already reached the door, couldn't help but turn around and return. She only ran out after giving him a kiss on his face.
He didn't control his strength well, and there was a loud "Ba Ji" sound.
Huo Chang Yuan's expression froze, his handsome face turned red, he faced the dumbstruck customer on the screen and cleared his throat, "Cough! Let's continue! "
