Zhou Guangtao thought to himself that this romance belonged solely to him and Yan Luoxi; Li An could neither take it away nor possess it. He was nothing more than a clown.

He held the hand of Yan Luoxi, which had turned cold due to her anger, stroking it gently as if trying to transfer some warmth to her: "Luoxi, let's not argue with such an unreasonable person. Let’s leave and stay far away from this rude individual."

That was right; why hadn't she left Accompanied by Zhou Guangtao, Yan Luoxi felt braver and more heartened, knowing that she had someone who loved her and there was no point in trying to reason with such a brutish person.

The two of them exchanged a deep look and didn’t even acknowledge Li An as they held hands to leave.

"You can't leave. Yan Luoxi, stop! Listen to me..." No matter how cold-hearted or arrogant he was, when Li An saw the Yan Luoxi he had struggled so hard to find following Zhou Guangtao away, his heart raced and he hopped forward on one leg trying to grab hold of her.

Deep down, Yan Luoxi was still a little afraid of Li An. At the sight of him pursuing them, she grabbed Zhou Guangtao's hand and ran towards the elevator, hurriedly pressing the buttons.

Zhou Guangtao saw that she was so scared her face had turned white with tears still on her cheeks; his heart ached for her and he hugged her shoulders. "Luoxi, don’t be afraid. He dares not do anything to you."

Ming Zixi, as an observer, clearly understood that to Yan Luoxi, Li An was either a thoroughly despicable thug or an incredibly foolish man whom she detested and had no feelings for.

He was well aware that Lian was in the wrong. It was Lian who was being unreasonable. Being the oldest among them, he couldn't just stand by and watch this farce continue indefinitely.

Ming Zixi rubbed his face, gathered some courage, and charged forward despite the wind and rain to grab hold of Lian, who was still hopping on one leg. "Oh my brother, there are countless women in the world. Why fixate on her"

"Let go of me! Let me go, quickly!" Lian shouted desperately as he saw the elevator doors open and reached back to lash out at Ming Zixi with his injured leg. "You useless fool, let me go."

Shao Junhe couldn't bear to watch this either, stepping in to intercept Lian's blow for Ming Zixi. "That's enough, Lian, stop it. You're injured, how can you hope to hold back these two nimble people"

"And you won’t help me!" Seeing Zhou Guangtao and Yan Luoxi enter the elevator together, with the doors swiftly closing behind them, Lian glared at his so-called friends, fuming. "What kind of friends are you! In a pinch like this, helping them instead. What did Zhou Guangtao give you"

Ming Zixi saw Yan Luoxi and Zhou Guangtao finally make it into the elevator, let go, and retreated to one side, shouting back, "We’re not refusing to help, we just don’t want to be accomplices to your evil."

"Don’t spout nonsense. Accomplices to my evil As if I’d rely on you for anything significant! Relying on a broken shoe will only hurt your feet." Lian grumbled as he hopped back inside the house.

"Oh, who taught you such harsh words Why didn’t you use them against Yan Luoxi just now You reserved all your venom for us," Ming Zixi followed behind Lian, still complaining.

"Who let you two switch sides at the critical moment. I knew from the start that I couldn’t count on you." Lian was genuinely angry, his face darkening as he pulled out his phone and ordered into it, "The person has left the floor; keep an eye on them regardless of gender, especially the woman. If any of you dare to lose track of her, be prepared for me to skin you alive."

Then, he proudly raised his eyebrows at Ming Zixi and Shao Junhe, saying, "Without you guys, I can still make things happen."

Ming Zixi and Shao Junhe stared blankly at Li An. After a couple of seconds, Ming Zixi stopped smiling and asked seriously, "Li An, are you serious To deal with a little girl, you actually mobilized the underground forces here under your family's control. Aren't you afraid that Uncle Li will find out"

"So what if he finds out When my mom left years ago, didn't he send people to search everywhere Now that my wife has run away, am I not allowed to have someone follow her" Li An straightened his neck, looking very reasonable as he sighed and sat down on the sofa.

"Li An, can I give you a friendly reminder" Ming Zixi approached cautiously, observing Li An's expression carefully.

Li An gave him a sidelong glance. "Go ahead."

"Don't keep calling her your wife. Yan Luoxi hasn't said she'll marry you; on the contrary, she seems quite disgusted with you." Ming Zixi felt that Li An was in severe denial and deluding himself, so he thought it was necessary to give him a reality check before his mental health deteriorated further.

Li An hung his head and didn't react for a long time.

Ming Zixi assumed he hadn't heard and foolishly repeated the sentence.

Suddenly, Li An grabbed the ashtray from the coffee table and hurled it at him. Ming Zixi dodged nimbly, but the ashtray smashed into the wall opposite with a dull thud.

Ming Zixi had long known about Li An's tendency to fly off the handle easily. Therefore, when he provoked him earlier, he was prepared for a physical confrontation.

"What’s wrong Did I hit a sore spot and now you’re feeling embarrassed and angry" Ming Zixi continued bluntly without holding back: "Li An, it's not that your older brother is deliberately trying to provoke you. I’m simply reminding you of the truth."

Yan Luoxi doesn’t like you; why do you insist on clinging onto her It’s as if you’re a beggar in love. Arguing and fighting every day, what fun is there in that With your looks and wealth, any woman would be happy to have you. Why are you putting yourself through this trouble"

Li An was an intelligent man; he understood the situation better than anyone else. He didn’t want to go through such torture anymore. He wanted to enjoy life without any complications. Yet, he couldn't help himself, unable to forget.

His temper wasn’t good, but for Yan Luoxi’s sake, he had repeatedly restrained himself. Many times, he thought about giving up, yet in the end, he just couldn't bring himself to do it. He attributed his actions to being obsessed and bewitched by her.

If any other woman dared to treat him this way, he would have already dealt with them harshly for their insolence. When had he ever endured such injustice Usually, others sought favors from him; now, the tables were turned.

His fixation on Yan Luoxi was so intense that even he found it unbelievable. Why just her

Thinking about this made a part of his heart ache with bitterness.

Li An’s temper came and went quickly; suddenly, he no longer felt like arguing with Ming Zixi anymore. He slumped onto the sofa, leaning back against its cushioned backrest, tiredly saying: "You two can leave now. I want to be alone for a while."e AwryL Li An saw that his father was still not getting it and became a bit anxious. "Yan Luoxi! I’m going to marry her!"Li Haonan’s face, which had just started to calm down, suddenly turned cold aga...
