Yan Luoxi, with her slightly flushed forehead in pain, sat on the sofa and thought about it desperately. She had already broken up with Zhou Guangtao, so she couldn’t go back to that cozy little home anymore. Her mother’s home, which was still reeling from recent upheavals, could not accommodate her either.

Where should she go Is the end of the world coming for her again

At this moment, Yan Luoxi truly needed some private space to lick her wounds. She looked at Nan Xu in the kitchen, who was a shining star, and wondered why he would be so nice to her—was it just because she resembled his sister

Just then, Nan Xu's assistant came with ingredients. Afraid that Yan Luoxi wouldn’t want to see outsiders, as soon as Nan Xu saw the assistant’s car arrive, he hurriedly went out and brought everything in himself.

Nan Xu was busy both inside and outside: "Luoxi, drink a cup of milk tea first; I’ll cook right away."

After Yan Luoxi initially went through the agony of losing her mind, she now felt somewhat uneasy being waited on hand and foot by Nan Xu. She said urgently: “Um…Nan Xu, you don’t need to be so busy. I…should go!”

"Where do you want to go" Nan Xu's expression tightened immediately, his brows furrowed.

“I…go home.”

“Is your home still an option for you”

“Of course it is. Zhou Guangtao was the one at fault in this matter; he wouldn’t have the face to fight me over the house,” Yan Luoxi said with forced ease.

"You're lying!" Ran Xu stared intently at Yan Luoxi, "It's because you feel uncomfortable competing with Zhou Guangtao over the house. Such a thing happened, and you wouldn't go to work at Zhou Guangtao’s company either. Now that you don’t have a job or a home, where can you possibly go"

"I... I..." Yan Luoxi was hit by the truth in Ran Xu's words, feeling somewhat short of breath; she truly had nowhere to go.

"Stay here and nowhere else," said Ran Xu firmly, leaving no room for refusal.

"But we…" Yan Luoxi bit her lip hesitantly; they weren't in any kind of relationship, so how could she just live in his house

Ran Xu gave Yan Luoxi a meaningful look. "Yan Luoxi, you can see me as your friend or even as an older brother. You can view me however you want.

Don’t feel any psychological burden and don’t overthink it. Just stay here peacefully. If you find this place too quiet, you can move to the house in my downtown residence. After you get through this dark period of your mind, wherever you wish to go, I won’t stop you or糾纏你。”

It wasn't a fancy speech and it wasn't a heartfelt declaration; these were sincere words coming from a star-studded celebrity with boundless glory, which couldn't help but move people.

Yan Luoxi’s eyes reddened. "I know you’re an acting emperor, don’t start another emotional play to make me cry."

"Luoxi, I’m not being emotional, what I said is truly from my heart..."

"Ah-choo…" Yan Luoxi couldn't hold back a sneeze and interrupted Ran Xu. She lowered her head shyly and said in a hoarse voice: "Sorry!"

Ran Xu reached out to touch her head, alarmed. "Are you coming down with a cold I’ll go make some ginger soup for you."

Yan Luoxi watched Ran Xu rush into the kitchen and let out a sigh, feeling a faint warmth in her heart.

In life, there are indeed many unexpected events. You never know who you might meet at which intersection. If she hadn't coincidentally met Ran Xu, she really wouldn't know where to go now.

Yan Luoxi thought that although Ran Xu appeared successful and glamorous on the surface, he was actually just like her, longing for a warm and complete home filled with sunshine. Therefore, if they supported each other for warmth, it could be fine.

A bowl of steaming ginger water made Yan Luoxi break out in sweat; she no longer felt so cold, and her gloomy and desperate mood seemed to improve slightly as well.

Ran Xu turned on the TV, and the lively variety show added some festive atmosphere to the room. He then instructed Yan Luoxi for a while before going to eat and cook.

Yan Luoxi looked blankly at the television, suddenly remembering her mother. With her phone out of power, if something happened and her mother couldn't find her, she would look for Zhou Guangtao. She didn't want to tell her mother about her relationship with Zhou Guangtao yet.

She ran to the kitchen door and asked Ran Xu if there was a portable charger at home. When he saw that she wanted to make a phone call, his bright eyes dimmed slightly.

Yan Luoxi's phone connected to the portable charger and could start up soon. There were over ten missed calls from work and four messages, all from Zhou Guangtao. She didn't look at them and deleted everything.

She couldn't forget him but didn’t want any further entanglement with him either.

The moment she hung up the phone, it rang again. Thinking it was Zhou Guangtao, she hesitated for a second before picking up to find out that it was Li An instead.

She froze for a moment, remembering this unwelcome person who had ruined her relationship with Zhou Guangtao. She hated him and casually threw the phone aside.

The phone kept ringing persistently, making Yan Luoxi impatient and her eyebrows furrowed tightly. She didn't want to answer the call initially but thought it unreasonable of herself to take out her frustration on Li An when she was the one who had an issue with Zhou Guangtao.

Thinking about what he had done for his mother before, she finally decided to pick up the phone.

"Luoxi, are you at home" Li An's voice sounded slurred as though he had been drinking and was lazy.

"Oh." Yan Luoxi replied hesitantly. "Where are you"

"Working for you!"

"What do you mean" Yan Luoxi was confused by Li An's words.

"I've just finished putting on a big show for you! I'm exhausted; after separating from you at noon, I went to the hospital to pick up Sun Jingjing and then visited your mother at her place. Watching Sun Zhijun and your mom acting all loving made me so uncomfortable…"

Li An continued to pour his heart out to Yan Luoxi about how troublesome it was for him to maintain a steady relationship between Sun Zhijun and his mother, detailing the effort in words and patience he had invested.

Yan Luoxi rolled her eyes. She didn't want to owe Li An too much of a favor, so she said coolly, "Sun Zhijun is your future father-in-law; you should put some effort into maintaining a good relationship with him."

Li An was sharp-witted and immediately snapped back upon hearing her words. "Ah, you little brat, how could you be so ungrateful You're crossing the bridge and chopping it down!
