flirtatious Shao Meizhuo beside him and turned to look at Ming Zixi, mumbling to himself, "Are you trying to kill me How vicious can you be!"Ming Zixi immediately understood Lian An’s intentions. Look...Chapter 29: The Mischievous Little Fox Spirit
Wu Tiantian also looked up at Li An for a moment, her heart filled with a vague bitterness as she saw the scars on his forehead, cheeks, and neck that were impossible to ignore. This proud and violent man must have really loved that woman to allow her to hurt him so freely. Beauty left a look of disappointment and lowered her head to fiddle with the spoon in front of her.
Shao Meizhuo looked at Li An's unusually warm smile and felt an indescribable feeling rise within her heart. She was about to open her mouth with biting sarcasm when she heard her brother speak, "There aren't many women who can make our young master sacrifice himself for them. Looks like this time he really means it. When are you going to bring the woman out for everyone to see We need to see what kind of beauty could have our young master willingly disfigure himself!"
My dear brother, after all these years, Shao Meizhuo felt that her brother's words today were the most pleasing. She was grateful in her heart and said, "Li An, after so many years, you've been through a lot of women—slim beauties or plump ones, what haven't you seen I'm truly curious who this fairy sister is who tamed you, making our Little Second change his ways!" Ming Zixing said with a teasing tone.
Li An's mind was filled with thoughts of Yan Luoxi at that moment, and he felt somewhat dazed. Hearing Ming Zixing speak like this made him think about how infuriating Yan Luoxi was; subconsciously, he retorted, "Spit! She's so stubborn she couldn't be a fairy sister!"
"So there really is such a living person" Shao Junhe exclaimed. They had all grown up with Li An since childhood and knew his character well enough to know that while he did have many girlfriends over the years, there were hardly any women who could capture his heart.
"Little Second, you won't really meet your arch-nemesis, will you" Ming Zixing, being an experienced person himself, understood clearly. For a mature and steady man, especially one as calculating as Li An, to talk about someone with such openness was only possible if that person had filled his heart completely, leaving no room for anything else.
Lian An knew that denying it was no use. He touched his injured face and laughed sheepishly, feeling embarrassed. Before he admitted to it, he worried about others talking; now that the truth is out, there's nothing left to hide. He wasn't a real thug or a lecherous man. After last night’s incident where he took advantage of being drunk to act on his feelings with Yan Luoxi and decided she would be his woman from then on, he didn't tell her this morning because he didn’t want to upset her too much. They have plenty of time, so there's no rush.
Ming Zixi hugged the beauty in his arms while holding a glass of wine, wearing a puzzled expression. "Lian An, how did you regress Did you really fall for someone"
"Hahaha, you look pretty embarrassed, man! Just turned 25 and already got taken down!" Shao Junhe laughed sarcastically.
Lian An stretched out on the backrest with his long and muscular limbs. He raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you know You'll never understand the joy of it all!" At this moment, Lian An's heart was a mix of sourness and sweetness; he felt the happiest today, perhaps due to Yan Luoxi. Whatever it was, he just felt incredibly sweet and happy.
Ming Zixi smiled with ill intentions. "Then why not let us see Really, when are you going to introduce her to us so we can see what kind of woman could make my brother give up his ways"
"Right! Don't just talk about it, bring her over!" Shao Junhe was rather excited and couldn’t wait to see who the girl was.
Thinking of Yan Luoxi's awkwardness, Lian An felt a headache coming. Knowing he still couldn't handle this little troublemaker for now, he shook his head and said, "No way, she’s shy; I can’t bring her over just yet!"
"Then let's go see her! Creating encounters is my forte!" Shao Junhe said with a cheeky grin.
The moment he spoke, Li An retracted his legs and sat up swiftly, his movement concise yet powerful. His cold eyes warned Shao Junhe off, "Don't be reckless; I told you she's thin-skinned and easily offended. If you anger her, it'll be a disaster!"
Ming Zixi couldn’t help but laugh at the rare sight of Li An being so protective. He teased him deliberately, "Li An, could it be that your little boy is all alone in this Did she not agree to anything"
Li An’s face betrayed a slight embarrassment and discomfort as his thoughts were exposed. Feeling disgruntled, he picked up the glass of alcohol in front of him and downed it in one go. His sexy lips curled irritably, "Whether or not she agrees is all the same; I’ve done everything that needs to be done anyway. She’ll end up marrying me no matter what!"
"My God!" Shao Junhe dramatically smacked his thigh. "I see now why you’re covered in scars from others! So you just forced yourself on her, and then turned the whole thing into a mutual romance"
Ming Zixi burst out laughing as well, "Young Master Li Number Two, can’t you man up Do you have sadomasochistic tendencies that extend to both your body and emotions, letting others humiliate you"
"Get lost!" Irritated by their mocking banter, Li An was seriously considering kicking them all to Turpan to be sun-dried into human jerky.
"Big Brother Li, where is she from What does she do" Tiantian finally couldn't hold back and asked. Ming Zixi and Shao Junhe kept dodging the main question.
Hearing Big Brother Li admit to having a lover in his own words was like a bolt out of the blue for this innocent young girl. Li An used to have girlfriends, but Tiantian knew that he just liked to play around with them. Now she was eager to know more about this special someone in Li An's heart.
"That's right! How old is she today What does her family do And what are her personal strengths" Shao Meizhu also stared intensely at Li An.
Their anxious expressions confirmed a saying: Women will only put their hearts into understanding two people, one being the man they love and the other being the woman loved by the man they love.
Li An ignored Shao Meizhu's relentless questioning and kindly answered Tiantian's question. "She is not someone special; her family background and looks are quite ordinary. She’s currently working as a regular employee." He spoke about Yan Luoxi casually, but his heart felt sweet, and he couldn't help smiling.
This warm and affectionate smile appeared again and again, which was too much for some people to bear. Shao Meizhu's heart shattered into pieces; she had finally convinced her parents after softening them up with persistence, and traveled from afar just to chase Li An here. Yet he suddenly threw this at her out of nowhere, a love interest who even seemed like an aggressive girlfriend type. She felt utterly dejected. would light a cigarette for men and offer them a candy for women.The nearby aunties and neighbors showed great interest and affection towards Ran Xu's pretty and amiable young wife, warmly inviting h...
