"What if I'm angry?" Li Jingcheng knew very well that Xiao Miaomiao had no special feelings for Luo Ran.

If it were in the past, when Xiao Miaomiao was not yet married, Luo Ran would undoubtedly have the greatest chance.

Whether it is their comparable family backgrounds or their similar interests and hobbies, they look like a perfect match.

If Luo Ran had revealed his true feelings earlier, not only would Hong Wenbin have no chance, even Li Jingcheng would have found it difficult to get involved.

However, now that it is a fait accompli, there are some benefits that should not be missed.

Li Jingcheng stretched out his hand and gently pulled Xiao Miaomiao to his side, then leaned over, leaned close to her ear, and whispered softly: "Tonight, everything must be done by me."

When Xiao Miaomiao heard this, her beautiful eyes instantly widened into a look of astonishment.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, she was ruthlessly interrupted by Li Jingcheng.

"No!" Li Jingcheng shook his head firmly, his attitude firm and decisive.

Then, he looked at Xiao Miaomiao seriously and said solemnly: "You also said that I was angry, but if that's the case, then you have to coax this petty-minded me."

Hearing this, Xiao Miaomiao couldn't help but feel at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She sighed helplessly and retorted, "What kind of logic is this! It was you who made this unreasonable request, so why do you want me to coax you?"

"Besides, what if I was jealous?"

"I'll owe you that first. If I get jealous next time, we'll be even!" Xiao Miaomiao put her hands on her hips and said slyly.

"Don't worry, Miaomiao, you won't have such an opportunity." Li Jingcheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at her lovingly, his eyes full of tenderness and confidence.

Xiao Miaomiao was about to refute when she heard this, but Li Jingcheng's daily behavior involuntarily emerged in her mind. She muttered to herself: This guy really does what he says!

Not to mention that all his assistants and secretarial staff were men, he also required that all the people who reported to him in the company be replaced by men.

Even representatives from other companies who came to discuss cooperation, unless he had to meet them in person, and if the other party was a woman, Li Jingcheng would either ask someone else to receive them or simply ask the other party to change someone else.

As for various social banquets and other activities, Li Jingcheng would try to postpone them as much as possible.

When he really couldn't refuse, he would definitely take me with him, as if he was afraid of leaving any opportunity for other women to take advantage of him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a little helpless. She really racked her brains but couldn't find any opportunity that could make her jealous.

Xiao Miaomiao opened her mouth, but found that she had no idea what to say in response to the situation.

In the end, she could only shut her mouth helplessly and nodded to show her agreement with Li Jingcheng's proposal.

"Go and see if Xiaobao has kicked the quilt. I'll ask someone to prepare some food." Li Jingcheng said as he reached out and gently rubbed Xiao Miaomiao's hair.

The action was full of tenderness and concern, as if there was already a deep affection between them.

"Okay." Xiao Miaomiao responded, turned around and walked towards the stairs without any doubt.

Looking at her departing back, a barely perceptible worry flashed across Li Jingcheng's eyes.

At this moment, Leng Yichen, who had been silently observing the situation here, walked over quickly.

He looked up and said to Li Jingcheng in a serious tone, "Uncle Li, I guess you want to go to Teacher Luo to ask for justice, right?"

"I have his phone number here!" After saying that, Leng Yichen raised his wrist and put his small and exquisite phone watch in front of Li Jingcheng. A mobile phone number was clearly displayed on it.

Li Jingcheng was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.

He bent down, reached out and ruffled Leng Yichen's hair, and teased: "Who dares to say that you are autistic now? With your intelligence, if your IQ is converted into weight, you can easily crush the opponent!"

Hearing this, Leng Yichen's eyes lit up for a moment, but he quickly returned to his serious expression: "Uncle Li, the teacher is very good, and I can't be someone else's substitute"

Li Jingcheng's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he said in a deep voice: "That's right. If he just liked Miaomiao before, but has let it go, maybe I can turn a blind eye."

"But he dared to use Miaomiao as a substitute so unscrupulously. I really can't tolerate this." Then, he cast a satisfied look at Leng Yichen, "But I still have to thank you for providing the number."

After receiving Li Jingcheng's thanks, Leng Yichen showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He thought to himself that it was all worth it to get the recognition of his future father-in-law.

After all, in his heart, Xiao Miaomiao is as important as a family member.

Originally, Li Jingcheng thought that as long as Luo Ran could let go of this relationship, it would be fine. After all, Li Jingcheng didn't have much affection for Luo Ran, but he would not stop Xiao Miaomiao from making friends.

Anyway, everything is under my control, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

"Hello, I'm Luo Ran. Who are you?" Luo Ran saw an unfamiliar phone number on the screen and after hesitating for a moment he decided to answer the call.

A deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone: "Li Jingcheng, Xiao Miaomiao's husband."

After saying this, Li Jingcheng signaled to the housekeeper to arrange for someone to prepare an exquisite afternoon tea for Miaomiao, and then he walked to the yard alone to make a phone call.

When Luo Ran heard this self-introduction, he couldn't help feeling speechless.

How could he not know who Li Jingcheng was? The other party's subsequent addition was obviously intentional, with the purpose of provoking or angering him.

However, Luo Ran still suppressed his unhappiness and responded as calmly as possible: "If you have anything to say, please speak directly."

Then he slowly put the paintbrush in his hand on the table, stood up and walked to the window, quietly waiting for what Li Jingcheng would say next.

"As far as I know, you once auctioned a painting before college, titled "Darkness and Love", right?" Li Jingcheng asked straight to the point, with no intention of beating around the bush.

When Luo Ran heard this, his body trembled slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. But he quickly regained his composure and replied with a wry smile: "Yes, the one in the painting is Miaomiao."

Perhaps Miaomiao always thought that their acquaintance began after the start of school, but that was not the case.

In fact, he had met her long before school started and fell in love with her at first sight.

I still remember that day, just a few days after he received the admission letter, he went to visit the campus he was about to enter with full of anticipation and curiosity. And on the same day, Miaomiao also came to the school.

The scene at that time was like a beautiful painting, which is still clearly imprinted in his mind.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows, and the breeze gently blows the tips of the hair, bringing a hint of coolness.

It was then that I saw Miaomiao for the first time. She was as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring, and instantly attracted his attention.

From that moment on, a seed called love was planted in my heart.

This painting was completed at that special moment, carrying the excitement and beautiful memories of his first meeting with Miaomiao.

However, what happened next surprised Luo Ran even more.

When the new semester began, he met Xiao Miaomiao again.

Since most of the people in the school at that time were seniors, he mistakenly thought that Xiao Miaomiao was also a senior at first.

But who could have expected that fate would arrange it so cleverly that they not only met, but also became classmates!

At this moment, Luo Ran slowly walked up to the attic and gently uncovered the snow-white cloth covering the painting.

The images that come into view are all about Xiao Miaomiao's figure, and every stroke and every line is filled with his deep emotions.

Especially the painting "Secret and Love", which fully displays his deep secret love for Miaomiao.

"Aren't you using Miaomiao as a stand-in? She said she hadn't met you before going to college." Li Jingcheng didn't expect that they had met before.

"Miao Miao didn't notice it at that time, but I noticed her and fell in love with her at first sight," Luo Ran explained.

Facing the painting in front of him, Luo Ran said solemnly: "I really like Miaomiao, and this feeling is extremely sincere. But believe me, I will never do anything that violates moral ethics, so you don't have to worry about this."

"You'd better keep your word!" Li Jingcheng stared at Luo Ran with suspicion on his face, his tone filled with undisguised distrust and worry, as if he could immediately detect the slightest hesitation or wavering on Luo Ran's part.

Faced with Li Jingcheng's strong questioning, Luo Ran just laughed softly, revealing an indescribable helplessness and bitterness in his laughter.

He slowly said, "You just don't trust me. Don't you even trust Miaomiao? Besides, how could I bear to embarrass her?"

At this point, Luo Ran lowered his head slightly, his eyes dim. He took a deep breath and continued, "In fact, before I came back this time, I had already received an appointment letter to teach at a foreign university."

"At that time, I had only one thought in my mind, which was to come back to find Miaomiao, so I didn't agree to the job immediately. But who would have thought that it was already too late..."

Luo Ran raised his head, looked past Li Jingcheng and into the distance, as if recalling something.

After a long while, he retracted his gaze to Li Jingcheng and continued, "Miao Miao is married to you now, and you even have three lovely children."

"And I know that you are excellent in every aspect. As long as you don't betray Miaomiao, she will not leave you."

"So, I decided to leave here next month and start a new life abroad. Maybe this is the best ending for everyone." After saying this, Luo Ran smiled again, but this smile was even more bitter than before.
