To Xue Liping and Sun Liangliang, this was just a normal exchange between Li An and Yan Luoxi. But Yan Luoxi knew that there was an underlying sharpness in his words; he must have seen her talking with Ran Xu.

Yan Luoxi didn’t want to糾纏with Li An anymore and she wasn’t daring enough either. She pretended not to hear what Li An said, tugged her mother’s hand, and walked towards the exit.

Xue Liping had just witnessed Li An standing at the pinnacle of society, admired by everyone, as well as his nasty and irascible少爺nature. At this moment, she felt a mixture of respect and fear towards him. Seeing Yan Luoxi not responding to Li An, she scolded her quietly, "How impolite you are! Young Master An was talking to you just now, didn’t you hear"

He wasn't some damn young master; he was a hypocritical beast in human skin!

Yan Luoxi had been irritated by Li An’s biting remarks earlier. Now, hearing her mother’s scolding, she felt even more infuriated. She really wanted to rush over and tear Li An’s face apart, just to see if he still dared to act so pretentiously here!

However, she didn’t dare. Even though she knew that the person in front of her was a scumbag, she still had to keep a low profile around him.

She and Zhou Guangtao were just starting a new life here with much difficulty. She really couldn’t provoke this shadowy devil again. She feared that if he raised his hand, it would shatter her beautiful world, rendering all their efforts worthless!

Yan Luoxi lowered her head, enduring her mother’s reprimand as she followed Li An and Sun Liangliang out of the hall.

Seeing that she and Li An had slightly distanced themselves from the others, she whispered to Xue Liping beside her, "Mom, I'm not feeling well and want to leave early!"

"You child..." Hearing this, Xue Liping's elegant face twisted in anger. Yan Luoxi’s behavior today was truly subpar, especially when compared to the grandeur of Li An.

She had a straightforward personality and wanted to speak her mind, but considering the occasion, she could only grip her daughter’s hand tightly, afraid that she might run off impulsively. She lowered her voice and said, "Luoxi, remember—when interacting with people in society as a girl, always be大方得體，嫻靜柔韌，不卑不亢，不驕不躁。你平日表現都很好，今天是怎麼了？"

Yan Luoxi knew that she had disappointed her mother and couldn't blame herself for being petty; it was just that the opponent was too formidable.

Xue Liping had been trying to mend their relationship recently. Seeing her daughter's dejected expression, she didn’t want to be forceful anymore and spoke softly as if begging, "Luoxi, Sun Jingjing’s press conference is about to start, and even her boyfriend has arrived. How can we just leave now"

Yan Luoxi hadn't decided whether to stay or go when Li An once again displayed his incredible abilities by stopping and inviting Xue Liping and Yan Luoxi over, saying, "Aunt, little sister, let’s all sit together!"

Sun Jingjing turned around, somewhat displeased at her stepmother and mysterious younger sister who were hesitating.

Having such a boyfriend like Li An had brought so much face to their family. Instead of being grateful, they looked gloomy—what bad manners!

"Sure." Xue Liping nodded eagerly towards Li An, regardless of whether Yan Luoxi agreed or not, pulling her hand and leading her over to Li An and Sun Jingjing.

Yan Luoxi is not a child and knows that in such occasions, even if she is unwilling to walk with Li An, she cannot act like a spoiled brat and make things awkward.

She lowered her eyelids, tightly pursed her lips, and walked alongside her mother behind Li An. This time, Li An did not walk too fast when he was accompanied by Sun Liangliang, always keeping about a step away from Yan Luoxi's group.

Sadly, she sighed that in her case, fate truly excels at combining chance and necessity, using an invisible thread to tie her back to Li An, almost like a divine stroke of genius.

The scene was filled with beautiful female stars and dazzling young women, all casting flirtatious glances at Li An. It's no wonder the women couldn't be reserved; after all, Li An is just too eye-catching, an even more stunning presence than most women, impossible not to draw attention.

In the press conference venue, the main actors and creators sat in the front two rows, and naturally, Li An was seated up front. Under his shadow, Xue Liping and Yan Luoxi also had a chance to sit at the very front.

Sitting next to Li An was the CEO of Sun Liangliang's media company. Sun Liangliang sat on Li An’s right hand side, then came Xue Liping, followed by Yan Luoxi.

For some reason or another, Ran Xu seated himself beside Yan Luoxi. As he took his seat, he winked at her and smiled gently, "Miss Yan, we meet again."

Yan Luoxi always felt that Ran Xu's attitude towards her was a bit off, but she couldn't put her finger on exactly what was wrong.

She fiddled with her phone and used its reflection to closely examine herself. Her face could be considered delicate and pretty, though it still fell short of the dazzling allure of the female stars around her.

She bit her lip, unable to figure out why Ran Xu had noticed her. She decided not to dwell on it and looked up as the host stepped onto the stage.

The ceremony began, with the main characters and supporting roles being invited onto the stage one by one. Many seats below were now empty. Li An moved a seat over so he could talk more easily with Xue Liping.

He casually chatted with Xue Liping for a moment, his attitude very composed and friendly. At this point, Xue Liping's phone rang; she apologized to Li An and stepped out of the venue to take the call, bending slightly as she left to avoid the noise.

This move placed Li An right next to Yan Luoxi.

Li An glanced at Yan Luoxi seemingly casually and asked, "Sister, are you surprised to see me"

Because she had already experienced his unpredictable and tyrannical behavior in the past, Yan Luoxi surprisingly remained calm. She answered frankly: "Yes, very surprised. Why would you be here"

"Do you think I'm here just for your sake" Li An clenched his teeth, a mocking smile playing on his thin lips.

Yan Luoxi also wanted to know whether Li An had come because of her. She looked at him with courage, as if he were a strict judge and she was awaiting the final verdict.

Seeing her defensive and wary expression, Li An couldn't help but become irritated; grinding his teeth, he said: "Do you think you're some kind of goddess I've had enough of your bitter face. Don’t be so self-important, thinking I can't live without you!"!"Yan Luoxi touched her still prominently protruding abdomen and felt a little relieved. She glanced at Lian, all her grievances, helplessness, and resentment surging up instantly. Her heart ached bit...
