Chapter 30: Husband Leads, Wife Follows

old chain from hitting him again, and held her delicate chin with his other hand. His deep black eyes shone with intense light as he spoke in a low, cold tone, “Yán Luòxī, don’t forget that it was you...Chapter 30: Husband Leads, Wife Follows

"Uncle Li, even though you are funding our startup, I still feel it's not right..." Zhou Guangtao thought that after taking Yan Luoxi away this time, he would no longer have any connection with the Li family. He sincerely did not want to accept Li Haonan’s way of making amends.

Even if one day he achieved success thanks to this initial investment and stood at the center of attention, thinking that the money was compensation for what happened to his wife would make him uncomfortable in his heart.

"Guangtao, Luoxi, you two don’t need to refuse anymore. This matter is settled now. I’ll mention a few cities; choose which one suits you best..." Li Haonan waved his hand dismissively and the tone of his voice left no room for refusal.

Seeing that Li Haonan was truly sincere about giving them money, Zhou Guangtao felt it would be too pretentious to keep refusing and reluctantly agreed.

The moment Yan Luoxi saw Zhou Guangtao, she immediately had no ideas of her own. She followed his lead in everything, deferring entirely to his arrangements.

Lǐ n slept very soundly, only waking up when the sun was high in the sky. Because he had been sleeping on his stomach, he felt stiff all over upon awakening and stretched out his arms and legs, trying to move his aching body. But he forgot about the injury on his buttocks; with too much force, it pulled at his wound, causing him to yelp in pain.

There was only one person living in this room. His cries of pain were useless since there was no one else around. Grimacing, Lǐ n hopped off the bed and started thinking quickly—the day had arrived for Yan Luoxi to give her answer; his ideal life was about to begin. From now on, Yan Luoxi would be his wife, and they would have children together, living in harmony as husband leads and wife follows.

Lǐ n hopped into the bathroom, washed up quickly, and frowned at how disheveled he looked. How could he present himself like this during such an exciting moment

He蹦跳著下樓，心裡充滿喜悅，藉故回房換衣服的機會，可以順道看看顏落夕。

樓下寬敞的客廳非常安靜，隻有哥哥厲熠坐在沙發上看報紙。厲安對此並未在意，以為那個懶惰的媽媽正帶著顏落夕早睡。

以後不能再讓顏落夕經常跟媽媽在一起了，近朱者赤近墨者黑嘛，顏落夕若是在老媽那裡學到一些懶惰也就算了，如果她學會了一套欺負老爸的方法那就麻煩了！

厲安嘴角不自覺地露出笑意，如同春日暖陽。他輕輕敲了兩下房門，冇想到門竟自動緩緩打開。豪華舒適的臥室裡，空無一人。

他有些困惑，蹦跳進房間四處張望，依然不見人影。他又跑到衛生間門口側耳傾聽，裡麵也毫無動靜。

媽媽和顏落夕不見了！

這個念頭一閃而過，厲安馬上意識到情況不妙。母親可是個慣於逃跑的人，偷偷溜走是她的拿手好戲。據說她當年在父親手下都成功逃脫了好多次，連累了吳闖叔叔和小爽阿姨。

厲安麵色蒼白地從臥室裡跳出，衝著坐在沙發上看報紙的哥哥嚷道：“媽媽不見了，她帶著顏落夕跑了！”

厲熠不慌不忙放下報紙，伸出修長的手指按了按眉心，淡淡地說：“爸爸要去見明磊叔叔，媽媽去拜訪若惜阿姨。他們出去了，並順便帶上了落夕去買衣服。”

Lian took a heavy sigh of relief after hearing his brother's words and hopped to sit on the sofa, grumbling unhappily, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier I was scared for nothing."

"You also didn't ask me!" Li Yi calmly continued reading the newspaper.

Lian was driven mad by his brother's indifferent attitude and muttered gloomily, "When it comes to your turn to get married, you'll see how I meddle with your plans!"

Li Yi smiled faintly without taking his younger brother’s threat seriously. He had no idea that this revengeful little troublemaker would cause him so much trouble in the future.

Lian felt reassured and happily returned to his room, changing into a fresh set of clothes before strolling out looking as graceful as a pine tree. His happy smile made him look even more handsome, and he stood by the floor-to-ceiling window staring outside without eating anything.

Seeing that Lian's eyes were filled with excitement to the point where they seemed to sparkle, Li Yi felt somewhat guilty and spoke in an unusually gentle tone, "Lian, have you had breakfast Mom and Dad might come back at any time; you should eat something."

"I'm not hungry." Lian's elated mood was evident as he said excitedly to his brother, "Brother, can you find someone to check the dates for us I want to choose a lucky day to get married!"

Li Yi felt a pang in his heart when he saw the huge desire shining in Lian's eyes, thinking that his little brother believed his dream of getting married would soon come true.

The private jet was probably already taking off with Yan Luoxi and Zhou Guangtao on board right now, yet here his foolish younger brother still had full confidence in his wedding dreams!

This kid, Li An, has been pampered and indulged since he was young. Everything went smoothly for him, meeting his every desire, making him unaware of what it means to "not get something." Even yesterday, when the situation was so uncertain, he showed no sense of crisis; today, after his parents left early with Yan Luoxi, he still didn't think about anything negative.

Li Yi felt a dull pain in his heart. He truly had no idea how Li An would react when he told him the truth later.

Li An was happily talking to himself; he seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood today, with joy evident in every word he spoke: "... Where should Luoxi and I go for our honeymoon First to Maldives, then France, Milan, Switzerland... Oh right, let's discuss it with Mom and Dad. We can take Luoxi to North Island for a few days; she'll surely love it there..."

Li Yi felt like Jesus Christ crucified on the cross, enduring immense pain as he listened to Li An's sweet, hopeful confessions. Sometimes, he wished he had God's powers so that he could grant Li An a Yan Luoxi who truly loved him.

Due to his injured leg and the painful beating from yesterday, standing on one leg for long periods was extremely difficult for Li An. Li Yi saw him gritting his teeth in frustration multiple times as he hopped around but refused every time when Li Yi suggested sitting down on the sofa.

The muscles of Li Yi's face tensed up; guilt filled his heart, causing it to ache.

In matters of love, Li An was originally clumsy and inexperienced, like a newborn bird, naive, unprepared, and clueless. Yet within such a short time, this young bird had developed an infatuation.

Within just the morning, Li An pushed himself into being a 'Deserted Wife Cliff'; every single word he spoke was filled with affection that all revolved around one name—Yan Luoxi!

Li Yi could no longer bear to read any newspapers. He turned his head to look at Li An, and in those icy phoenix eyes was an overflow of pity and love, making him feel as if his heart was being shredded by a knife.ened his eyes and saw Yan Luoxi leaning her head against the side of his bed, eyes closed as she dozed off beside him.Yan Luoxi wasn't sleeping deeply. As soon as Li An opened his eyes, she immediatel...
