Chapter 75: Sold Myself

w cold. "Marriage isn’t just about two individuals; it involves two families. Both our sides need to prepare for this. Also, what happened with that Sun Liangliang Now that you’re marrying Yán Luòxī,...Chapter 75: Selling Oneself

The two of them argued like this until it was time for lunch in the afternoon. Li An, to celebrate successfully acquiring Yan Luoxi for twenty thousand yuan, specially ordered exquisite Western cuisine and red wine (,

He instructed the servants to decorate the bedroom accordingly; music played softly, the dining table set with fine utensils, surrounded by blooming flowers, setting a romantic atmosphere immediately.

Yan Luoxi, after receiving Li An's money, behaved unusually obediently during lunchtime. No matter what Li An said, she nodded and smiled.

The dining table featured a bottle of red wine. After pouring himself a glass, Li An thought for a moment before also pouring Yan Luoxi a glass. The deep purple-red liquid in the crystal cup shimmered with an alluring glow. Yan Luoxi stared at her glass for a while before suddenly picking it up with both hands and downing its contents in gulps.

Yan Luoxi usually didn't have much of a tolerance for alcohol, but today she wanted to get drunk once, as drinking could help alleviate all worries. Thinking about how several times in the past her misdeeds were related to alcohol, yet today even without it, problematic situations couldn't be avoided.

Li An was indeed indulgent towards Yan Luoxi and poured her another full glass. He held his own glass slightly swaying it as he sipped delicately.

Yan Luoxi didn't hesitate either; after staring at the second glass of wine, she downed its entire contents again in one go.

Seeing Yan Luoxi drink two glasses back to back, Li An dared not pour her any more. Getting slightly tipsy was just right, but if he got her so drunk that she vomited, it would be painful for her and heartbreaking for him.

After drinking two glasses of wine in a row, Yan Luoxi's mood lifted. A light blush spread across her cheeks; under the sunlight, as if glowing precious stones, her large eyes, distinctively black and white with hints of alcohol, were dazzlingly captivating.

Lian stared blankly at Yan Luoxi's face as if frozen in time. After a while, he softened his voice and coaxed her gently, "Luoxi, I promise not to bully you anymore. I will treat you well; don't quarrel with me anymore. Actually, we can be very happy together..."

"Don't worry, I'll get along well with you." Yan Luoxi tugged at the corner of her mouth and gave a faint smile, her gaze fixed on a pile of RMB not far away.

Since being confined here by Lian, she had thought about escaping, even death. However, reason told her that what has happened cannot be changed; dying would only be in vain!

She really wasn't aloof, but loved money deeply. She wanted lots of it so when Lian eventually grew tired of her, she could take this money and go far away, buy a beautiful house. Even if spring warmth and blooming flowers never returned to her life again, she would still have the sea before her, feeling contented.

Listening to Yan Luoxi's gentler voice after drinking, Lian thought she was agreeing with him; he gazed at her with a bright, warm smile.

Yan Luoxi felt dizzy and stopped gulping down the alcohol. She ignored Lian, eating while holding a cup of wine to sip slowly, the taste bitter yet sweet on her tongue.

Gradually, her cheeks turned visibly red; she started feeling dull-witted and unable to think clearly.

Seeing Yan Luoxi was almost done drinking, Lian feared more alcohol would harm her. He took the wine glass from her hands: "Luoxi, stop now! Go wash your face."

Yan Luoxi lifted her chin, pouted and said without politeness, "Who are you to tell me what to do I'll drink if I want!"

Lian truly wanted to bite off her little pouting mouth; this brat was born to oppose him. She refused to obey even in such a state! He pinched her soft cheek and narrowed his eyes, asking menacingly with each word: "Who do you think I am"

Yan Luoxi rolled her eyes, "Humph... I don't know him."

Lǐ n was speechless with anger. He forcefully took the wine glass and carried her to the bathroom door. At this moment, his phone rang; he had no choice but to push Yan Luoxi into the bathroom herself, saying, "Behave yourself, wash your face and brush your teeth, then take a nap." Then he turned around to answer the call.

Yan Luoxi’s head was heavy, her heart heavy. Perhaps due to drinking too much, she felt especially sentimental; in this independent and narrow space, her nose and eyes uncontrollably welled up with tears.

People often say that the longing after getting drunk is the most sincere. She really missed Zhōu Kuàngtāo at this moment.

Kuàngtāo Brother, do you know I no longer have any face to show myself before you again. I sold myself and earned so much money...

Yan Luoxi’s tears fell in a steady stream. She suddenly felt dirty, unworthy even of thinking about Zhōu Kuàngtāo.

In a daze, she let the bathtub fill with water, then slowly undressed and sat inside it. The warm water could cleanse her body's impurities!

Lǐ n put down his phone, stood by the dining table, poured himself a glass of red wine, swirled the ruby-colored liquid enticingly in the glass, and looked at Yan Luoxi’s bathroom door before bringing the glass to his lips and sipping slowly.

Zhōu Kuàngtāo was really a stubborn person; he actually went to report it to the police!

Fortunately, I had people sabotage the surveillance equipment in his neighborhood that day, and I also gave instructions at the police station. Otherwise, it would have been hard for me to evade him!

Lian's thin smile suddenly vanished in an instant, his eyes narrowing like a bottomless cold pool. If that damned Zhou Guangtao dared to cause trouble again, Lian would do whatever it takes!

As he was thinking about this and sipping on his drink, something occurred to him. Yan Luoxi had only gone in to wash her face; why hadn’t she come out yet An intense fear suddenly arose within him, prompting him to rush over and knock on the door.

"Luoxi! Luoxi!" Lian called out while walking towards the bathroom. When there was no response from Yan Luoxi, he became anxious. Pushing open the door, he rushed in only to see her leaning motionlessly against the misty bathtub with her eyes closed.

Considering Yan Luoxi's previous intense history, Lian was immediately terrified. He feared that she might be faking gentleness while plotting something fierce—like attempting suicide.

"Yan Luoxi! Yan Luoxi!" Lian’s voice cracked with urgency as he rushed to her side at the bathtub. Under his noise, Yan Luoxi slightly moved her eyelids and opened her eyes.

Seeing that she was alive, Lian let out a sigh of relief. His gaze then fell upon her rosy cheeks, tender red lips, hazy eyes, and the shimmering naked body beneath the water’s surface, glowing like ivory.

The beautiful water nymph Yan Luoxi had an enchanting allure that made Lian's heart race uncontrollably. He grabbed a towel and hoarsely guided her out of the tub: "Come out quickly; it's cold."

Yan Luoxi didn't have much alcohol tolerance, but she wasn’t troublesome when drunk. She obediently stood up to let Lian wipe down her body.

The thin layer of water mist on her shoulders and forehead made Lian’s touch involuntary; her skin felt like soft jade, warm and smooth under his hands.efore running back home as if she had seen a ghost. His heart instantly turned cold.It was all because of him that Yan Luoxi was so frightened and anxious; he deserved everything for causing this situ...
