itching siren while her face looked like a lovable angel. Her pale frailty added a delicate charm, placing her in a unique realm between girlhood and womanhood.A tender sentiment spontaneously welled...Chapter 62: Marry Me or Die
Looking at Zhou Guangtao, he seemed to be in a good mood as there was laughter in his voice, "Luoxi!"
"Yeah, Brother Guangtao. Why are you so happy" Yan Luoxi, with a hint of alcohol on her breath, giggled and asked Zhou Guangtao.
“Yu Fan is really amazing! She helped close a big deal over dinner just now," Zhou Guangtao was quite excited talking about work.
"My good friend is great, right!" Yan Luoxi proudly lifted her head, "Since she's so capable, you better reward her well!"
“Don’t worry, I won't forget the red envelopes for her. Luoxi, where are you”
"I’m still at my sister’s press conference with Mom." Compared to Zhou Guangtao's joy, Yan Luoxi sounded a bit down.
“Oh, why did it take so long Did you guys go for dinner" Being the insightful person he was, Zhou Guangtao figured that they must have gone out for dinner.
"Yes," said Yan Luoxi with her lips pouting.
“Since you went out with your mom, try to be happier,” Zhou Guangtao picked up the reluctance in Yan Luoxi’s voice, “Don’t dampen your mother's mood, and don't let your sister feel neglected.”
Do you know Lian, this ghost-like person has appeared again. How could I be happy about it!
Yan Luoxi had a lot of grievances and unease she wanted to pour out to Zhou Guangtao, but she didn't dare say anything and could only pacify him, "Alright, I will be cheerful and eat more. You go ahead with your work!"
"Okay, Luoxi, I miss you," Zhou Guangtao said softly on the other end of the phone.
"I miss you too," Yan Luoxi was delighted in her heart and whispered into the phone as if she were confiding a secret to someone's ear.
After hanging up, Yan Luoxi felt much better. She turned around happily but nearly screamed when she saw who it was.
Lian was leaning against the balcony frame with his body facing sideways, completely hidden in the shadows. His handsome and solemn face showed no emotion except for a deep gaze that seemed to be lost in thought as he stared at Yan Luoxi.
Yan Luoxi's heart nearly jumped out of her chest from fright. This was the first time she had been alone with Lian since leaving Beijing, and back then, she had fled irresponsibly. She really didn't know if this demon would suddenly go berserk and take her life.
She finally calmed down, but her long eyelashes still trembled in fear. To hide her anxiety, Yan Luoxi cleared her throat, "What... What are you doing here"
"Mind your own business! This is my house," Lian's tone was domineering as he raised his chin slightly with a look of arrogance on his face.
"Of course I don't mind. Mr. An, please do whatever you want," Yan Luoxi didn't dare to confront Lian. Since she had met him, she always felt an ominous premonition of defeat and now was scared enough to want to sneak away.
Lian An did not speak, nor did he move; he simply stood like a door god on the path Yan Luoxi had to take to go back.
Yan Luoxi focused her gaze and, with bated breath, tiptoed as she tried to pass by Lian An's side quickly.
But just as she passed by Lian An’s side for an instant, he caught both of her arms in one hand and held her chin tightly with the other. His actions were fierce and violent; gritting his teeth, he growled lowly, "Yan Luoxi, you bastard, how dare you play me! How dare you agree to marry me then leave with Zhou Guangtao irresponsibly!"
"Let go of me, what are you going to do" Yan Luoxi cried softly. She saw the burning rage in Lian An’s eyes that was driving him mad; he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pushed her two steps to the balcony window.
Lian An's gaze gradually sank lower as his thin lips pressed tighter and even his jawline tightened, “What do you think I’m going to do No one has ever dared to play with me in this life! The both of you have been doing great here. Are you feeling very satisfied Do you feel very comfortable talking sweetly to each other Yan Luoxi, I will make you die today!”
Under Lian An’s violent actions, more than half of Yan Luoxi's body was leaning out of the balcony. They were on the eighth floor; with the wind blowing her hair everywhere, it woke up her slight drunkenness.
"Let go of me! Let go!" Fear instantly took over Yan Luoxi’s heart as she knew that the person above her was no longer Lian An but a devil who would hurt her.
Lian An had a strong smell of alcohol. Because he drank, his black eyes looked even more like crystal; staring at her, his long and fair fingers gently brushed against Yan Luoxi's face.
His fingers were cold almost without any warmth, just like his voice now: "Yan Luoxi, you only have two choices right now. Either you agree to marry me or die!"
The wind blew outside the balcony, rustling through Yan Luoxi’s hair.
Yan Luoxi trembled all over, feeling cold from her body to the depths of her heart. Ever since she was young, she had known that Li An was a reckless madman and an evil devil; he really would push her off this place and let her摔得七竅流血 (bleed from seven orifices).
She feared death, truly terrified to the point of wanting to avoid it at all costs. She wanted to scream for help loudly, but knowing Li An as she did, that would only hasten her own demise. Yet if he forced her to marry him...
She remembered the humiliating words spoken by Li An and the cruel tricks he had used on her, not to mention his ruthless methods when imprisoning her... And Zhou Guangtao, the person she loved most in this world, whom she could never bear to part with.
If it weren't for Zhou Guangtao, timid and indecisive Yan Luoxi might submit to Li An's will in the face of death. But she had Zhou Guangtao!
Seeing silent and trembling Yan Luoxi, Li An grew impatient. He roughly grabbed her hair, forcing her to look up at him.
"I'll ask you again: do you want to die or marry me" A cold male voice emerged from his thin lips, each word deliberate, like a death warrant issued by the King of Hell.
"I... I..." At a loss for what else to do, Yan Luoxi only wanted to delay time, hoping someone would pass by and save her. Her voice trembled as she apologized: "Second Brother, I'm sorry, I was wrong, please spare me...
"Don't you dare call me Second Brother!" Li An's handsome face was covered in frost, his dark pupils rapidly contracting, eyes sharp enough to pierce through Yan Luoxi.
Yan Luoxi was frightened into a shudder and dared not speak again.
"Yan Luoxi, you're playing tricks on me again. You're deliberately wasting time, waiting for someone to save you. But do you know...
The sound of Li An raising his eyebrow came with a lowered voice tinged with gentleness, like a snake hissing: "This hotel belongs to our Li family; everyone follows my orders. I've arranged people along the corridor leading to the terrace; no one can approach here now. Even if you scream loudly, it will be useless—no one will come to save you!"d down her face as she turned to yell at Li An: "Why are you pulling me This old scoundrel harmed Brother Guangtao and ruined Yu Fan's..."Li An saw that Yan Luoxi was still fixated on Zhou Guangtiao,...
