After breakfast, Li Xuan and Li Wan'er left together. Perhaps it was due to Zhuo Xian's visit yesterday, but Jiang Xiu Ying and Li Ming Qi had remained silent at the dining table.
"I'll do it," Li Xuan said suddenly as Li Wan'er walked directly to the car, ready to drive. Li Wan'er looked up at Li Xuan upon hearing his voice, then nodded slowly. After handing him the keys, she opened the rear door and got in.
"Buckle up," Li Xuan said as he started the car, glancing at Li Wan'er through the rearview mirror. As soon as he finished speaking, the car moved.
Li Wan'er's car was a BMW Mini. Li Xuan had obtained his driver's license while working at the bar, and he knew a thing or two about cars.
Li Wan'er's BMW Mini was equipped with a 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder engine and a 2.0t model. Such a car was a rather excellent choice for a woman like Li Wan'er.
"Li Xuan, have you found your next move?" Li Wan'er couldn't help but ask, looking at Li Xuan driving in front.
Li Xuan smiled upon hearing her words and replied, "Perhaps."
"I understand," Li Wan'er said, falling silent. In truth, Li Wan'er had seriously considered Li Xuan.
In these times, it was not easy to find someone as honest as Li Xuan. However, everything Li Xuan had shown made Li Wan'er's opinion of him decline day by day. By the end, it was not an exaggeration to say she was disappointed.
During the five years at home, Li Xuan was no longer the person who would step in to help others righteously.
"Is the company in trouble?" Li Xuan asked again after five minutes.
Li Wan'er was startled, clearly unsure how Li Xuan knew. However, since Li Xuan had asked, she did not hide anything and nodded, "The company is facing cash flow problems, and the five business partners who cooperated with us have all terminated their contracts."
"If there is no further capital injection, we will likely be acquired by the end of this month. But don't worry, I won't ask for the 500,000 you gave me back. Also, according to the contract, I will give you the remaining 500,000 on the day of our divorce."
"I didn't ask about the 500,000. Forget it. Since I am still your nominal husband, I will find a way to solve this for you," Li Xuan said with a wry smile after a moment of thought.
"You will find a way to solve it for me?" Li Wan'er looked at Li Xuan in surprise.
The day after Li Xuan saved her, Li Wan'er had thoroughly investigated Li Xuan's background. Li Xuan, an orphan, had the audacity to say he would resolve her company's crisis.
Thinking about it, Li Wan'er couldn't help but want to laugh. Was Li Xuan planning to use the 500,000 she gave him? But even so, it would be like a drop in the ocean.
"You don't need to worry about the company's affairs. That 500,000 is what you earned from working diligently for our family for five years. And even if you used it, it wouldn't solve the company's problems. After you drop me off at the company, you can go back."
The more Li Wan'er thought about it, the more she believed Li Xuan only had the 500,000 she gave him. Although Li Xuan's words touched her, she didn't want Li Xuan to make such sacrifices. In fact, she felt it would be rather laughable if Li Xuan truly took out that 500,000.
"I never said I would use that 500,000. Fine. If you believe me, your company will overcome this crisis in three days. If not, you can accept Zhuo Xian's help today," Li Xuan said, stopping the car and turning to look at Li Wan'er.
"Zhuo Xian's help?" Li Wan'er was surprised again. Li Xuan's actions today had greatly changed her perception of him. Not only did he proactively offer to drive her to work, but his demeanor was completely different from before.
And now, he was mentioning that Zhuo Xian would offer her help? Could he be a fortune teller?
However, the next moment, Li Wan'er saw Zhuo Xian and a man in a suit standing by the car.
"Look, he's already waiting here. But judging by his appearance, he probably didn't sleep well," Li Xuan said with a smile, pointing to Zhuo Xian outside the window. Li Xuan had left Bao Xiu Garden at three in the morning last night. It was only seven fifty in the morning now, so it was no wonder Zhuo Xian wouldn't have slept well.
"Heh heh, Wan'er, yesterday I heard your mother say... why is it you?"
Zhuo Xian's sleepy eyes lit up when he saw Li Wan'er's car approaching. He then perked up, walked forward, and opened the car door, talking to himself. However, upon seeing Li Xuan in the driver's seat, he was momentarily stunned and somewhat bewildered.
"I am Wan'er's husband. Is there a problem with me sending Wan'er to work? Young Master Zhuo, are you harboring intentions towards my Wan'er by blocking the road so early in the morning?" Li Xuan said with a smile, getting out of the car and walking to the rear door to open it for Li Wan'er.
"Zhuo Xian, what are you doing here?" Li Wan'er naturally heard Li Xuan's words. After glaring at Li Xuan, she turned to Zhuo Xian and asked.
"Heh heh, Wan'er, I heard from your mother yesterday that your company was having some issues, so I rushed over early this morning to help you resolve it. Don't worry, with me, Zhuo Xian, around, I won't let Wan'er's company fail," Zhuo Xian said, patting his chest.
"Zhuo Xian, our company doesn't have any business dealings with your Zhuo Yue Group. And we are just classmates; you don't need to do this," Li Wan'er said, frowning slightly. Li Xuan had actually guessed Zhuo Xian's intentions.
When did this Li Xuan become so smart?
"Young Master Zhuo, did you hear that? My Wan'er said she doesn't need your help. If there are any problems, it should be me, her husband, who handles them. Young Master Zhuo, I thank you on behalf of Wan'er for your kind intentions. It's time for work, please let us pass."
Li Xuan smiled immediately, then took Li Wan'er's hand and headed towards the elevator entrance.
Li Wan'er instinctively struggled when Li Xuan suddenly held her hand. However, Li Xuan's grip was surprisingly strong, and Li Wan'er couldn't break free. Moreover, considering Zhuo Xian was present, Li Wan'er had no choice but to let Li Xuan lead her into the elevator.
Feeling the warmth of Li Xuan's palm, Li Wan'er felt a surge of indescribable emotions. At that moment, at least, Li Wan'er felt Li Xuan appeared much more imposing.
"Waste! Didn't you say Wan'er drives herself to work every day?" As the elevator ascended, Zhuo Xian angrily slapped the man behind him and roared.
"Young Master Zhuo, what I said was absolutely true. Your subordinate doesn't know why this good-for-nothing suddenly drove Li Wan'er to work today. Please calm your anger, Young Master Zhuo." The man in the suit quickly explained, his face burning, yet he dared not rub it.
Zhuo Xian took a deep breath, looked in the direction Li Wan'er and Li Xuan had departed, and a malicious glint flashed in his eyes. He then slowly said, "He's just a good-for-nothing, yet he dares to flaunt his power in front of this young master. Pass down the order to cripple this kid's leg today!"
"Yes!" The man in the suit trembled and quickly responded.
Zhuo Xian withdrew his gaze and made a phone call: "Liu Bing Rui, it's me..."
