Chapter 3: She Has A Lover
Yan Luoxi couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude. Even after so many years, she still needed the Li family's protection to live well.Ran Xu had finished preparing dinner and saw that Yan Luoxi h...Chapter 3: She Has a Lover
In recent days, Li An had been looking for opportunities to meet Yan Luoxi, but she seemed to have changed her ways. As soon as work was over, she would retreat into her home and not come out even when Xue Liping called.
Why is this little brat in such high spirits today, actually coming here to eat
When Li An heard the laughter of men inside the private room, his slightly sinister eyes narrowed sharply, making those around him feel a chill.
Naturally sharp and sensitive to sound, he knew from the voices that the person dining with Yan Luoxi was not Zhou Guangtao. Then who could it be
Li An's face darkened, and he waved for others to leave while approaching Yan Luoxi’s private room quietly himself, gently opening the door a crack.
Through the small gap, he saw Yan Luoxi smiling like spring flowers blooming. She was gesturing animatedly at something she was telling the man opposite her, looking very intimate and relaxed.
The man reached out to take a napkin, casually wiping off an oil stain from the corner of her mouth for her.
Li An's vision went blurry with rage, his handsome face contorting in pain.
This little brat. She is having dinner intimately with another man in such a secluded and ambiguous club, laughing like spring blossoms, but this man isn’t the outstanding boyfriend she has
She…she actually has someone else on the side!
Li An gnashed his teeth in fury, feeling as if his mind was a jumbled mess.
But who is Li An His momentary daze only lasted for an instant. He quickly composed himself and looked at the man sitting across from Yan Luoxi.
From Li An's perspective, he could see Yan Luoxi's front face clearly, but could only see the profile of the man beside her. If Ran Xu was just another ordinary person, Li An would have no trouble recognizing him; however, he happened to be a male star who acted alongside Sun Jinjiang.
When Li An realized that the man sitting across from Yan Luoxi was the famous star Ran Xu, he felt utterly perplexed!
Crouching behind the door for too long isn't advisable; if discovered, it would be embarrassing. With a gloomy expression on his face and slow steps, Li An left the room where Yan Luoxi was staying.
Yan Luoxi was still inside laughing foolishly, while Ran Xu giggled along with her. This made Li An even more vexed; what were they laughing about He wished he could hear them say something meaningful!
Why would the famous star Ran Xu be hanging out with someone as clueless as Yan Luoxi When did Yan Luoxi become acquainted with him
Li An frowned and felt extremely frustrated.
Seeing how attentive Ran Xu was being, could it be that he had taken a fancy to Yan Luoxi!
This possibility existed too; after having gourmet food all the time, occasionally trying something simple can also be refreshing!
Damn it, one Zhou Guangtao is already irritating enough! Now there's this Ran Xu too!
The sinister look on Li An’s face turned menacing. Instead of immediately entering his own room, he walked to a resting area and made a phone call to have someone investigate about Ran Xu. He then lit up a cigarette.
As the smoke curled around him, Li An's handsome yet angry face gradually softened into an eerie smile. Hmph, no matter what kind of background or intentions this Ran Xu has, he can use me as his pawn first!
Ran Xu, who was enjoying his meal in the private room, had no idea that he had become someone else's prop. After eating until he was about 70% full, he stopped gorging himself and picked a piece of fish meat, removing the bones before placing it on Yan Luoxi's plate.
Yan Luoxi didn't pay attention to Ran Xu's intimate actions; she bit her chopsticks as she glanced at him with spinning eyes. "How dare you bring me out for a meal Aren’t you afraid of being snapped by paparazzi"
Ran Xu picked up his glass of red wine and brought it close to his lips, sipping it slowly. "This club is attractive because it has several different exits and entrances, making it extremely secretive. The privacy of its customers' personal affairs is also kept highly confidential, so you can think of it as a 'Swiss Bank' in the restaurant industry."
Yan Luoxi stirred her juice to flip the ice cubes inside and thought to herself that she couldn't casually go out with Ran Xu anymore. He was too conspicuous; if they were photographed together, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to Zhou Guangtao.
Ran Xu seemed to have read her thoughts as he stroked Yan Luoxi's hair gently. "Don’t worry, I will protect you properly next time. We can eat at home."
Next time!
Yan Luoxi subtly avoided Ran Xu’s hand and let out a cold snort in her heart; it seemed more reliable to keep their relationship as online friends.
Zhou Guangtao came back from an evening engagement, bringing takeout for Yan Luoxi. He noticed that she often stayed up late these days, and when he returned home, the light was on in her room, with slight movements inside – whether she was surfing the internet or watching TV.
Today, however, Yan Luoxi’s door wasn’t shut tightly, leaving a small gap from which bright lights were shining through.
Zhou Guangtao took off his shoes and coat and walked over, politely knocking on her door. "Luoxi, Luoxi..."
Yan Luoxi didn't respond, yet there was a man's voice with a laugh coming from inside the room. Zhou Guangtao’s heart jolted as he pushed open the door.
The room was empty except for the notebook computer placed on the table; sounds of water could be heard coming from the bathroom.
Zhou Guangtao couldn't help but relax. Yan Luoxi was in the bathroom taking a shower, and he had thought that the voice of the man speaking came from a TV show playing on the laptop screen. It was only after casting a casual glance at it that he realized the computer's webcam was still active, with a man appearing on QQ video.
He cleverly turned his body sideways to avoid the laptop’s camera and then frowned as he carefully observed the laptop screen.
The man on the other end of the video call was bending down to organize luggage; it looked like he was at home. After rummaging around for a while, he pulled out an exquisite gift bag that contained a matryoshka doll. Turning his head, he revealed an exceptionally handsome face.
Seeing this familiar-looking handsome face made Zhou Guangtao quite surprised: When had Yan Luoxi met such an attractive young man
The man gestured towards the camera and said, "Luoxi, I brought you a gift. I forgot to give it to you when we were eating just now; I'll bring it to your company tomorrow..."
Zhou Guangtao almost lost his breath at the voice from the video call!
It seemed that Yan Luoxi had known this man for a long time, and they had just shared dinner together tonight.
The other man, Ruan Xu, shouted something else into the camera but seeing no response here, he chuckled and said, "You must really be in the shower; alright then, I'm going to take a shower too..."
Zhou Guangtao didn't often watch TV and wasn’t familiar with Ruan Xu. He just felt that his face seemed somewhat familiar. As he watched Ruan Xu's back walking away, he noticed that this man had not turned off QQ before leaving; instead, he left the matryoshka doll on the computer screen, indicating that he was preparing to continue chatting after taking a shower.
Perhaps the alcohol tonight affected him more than he thought. Zhou Guangtao felt a bit dizzy and leaned on the table as if his steps were weighed down by a thousand pounds; slowly walking over, he sat down on a cartoon sofa beside the room.
When had Yan Luoxi met such a man When did all this happen How could he not have noticed any of it
Zhou Guangtao looked up at the bathroom door, feeling as if his heart were being torn apart, drenched in cold sweat.ese years, you've had quite a few girlfriends.
