re, but this time she couldn’t refuse anymore, nor did she want to refuse. Even if she gave up everything, compromised herself, the outcome would be the same anyway.Xue Liping hadn't seen her daughter...Chapter 56 The Truth in the Bagua

Yan Luoxi didn't like Li An's gesture of calling her like he would call a dog, but she was very familiar with this young master's temper. Helplessly, she looked around and seeing no one paying attention to her, she darted onto Li An’s car.

"What are you up to Acting like a thief!" Li An tilted his mouth crookedly, took off the sunglasses from his face, and looked at her with a half-smile.

“Isn’t it your fault for not being careful in your daily life Now everyone hates you. I’m afraid people might think badly of me if they see me with you,” Yan Luoxi snorted coldly before giving him an angry look.

"Don't go looking for trouble! Just now, I pretended not to know you!" Li An’s face instantly darkened from its sunny expression.

“You only needed to pretend not to know me. But someone knows you!” Yan Luoxi thought of what she heard in the yoga studio and couldn't help but feel indignant.

"Who recognized me What did they say about me" Li An frowned, wondering which gossiping woman had been spreading rumors about him in front of Yan Luoxi.

“They didn’t say anything bad about you, just that a girl once jumped off the building for your sake!” Yan Luoxi felt even more indignant.

"Which one" Li An turned the steering wheel and his expression relaxed slightly as he asked nonchalantly.

“Which one How many women have committed suicide because of you” Yan Luoxi’s eyes widened in surprise.

“I haven't checked how many there are. Just tell me if they succeeded or failed,” Li An said casually, without a trace of sympathy in his demeanor.

Yan Luoxi found it terrifying to see his indifferent and cold expression, staring at him with big eyes but unable to speak.

Lǐ n waited for a while without hearing anything from Yan Luoxi. Seeing the way she looked at him as if he were an unforgivable monster, he realized that she was feeling too much sympathy. He hurriedly explained: "Those women wanted to die themselves; it has nothing to do with me! If they don't cherish their own lives, why should I be responsible for them"

Furthermore, these women all had ulterior motives, wanting to use the threat of death to control him. Was he supposed to marry anyone who wanted to die If that were true, he would have married whoever dies first! By now, he probably would have dozens of wives!

Yan Luoxi knew Lǐ n was right, but thinking about the girl who died for him made her unable to help muttering: "How can you be so heartless!"

Suddenly, Lǐ n swerved the car and stopped by the roadside. He turned around, grabbed Yan Luoxi's shoulders, and stared at her intently: "You have sympathy Then let me say this— if you don’t marry me, I’ll commit suicide! Do you agree"

Yan Luoxi managed a forced smile. "I... I was just joking."

Lǐ n snorted in annoyance and released her, then started the car again. With an extremely disdainful tone, he said: "Don’t follow others’ lead. Don't parrot what they say, especially don’t listen to women’s gossip—they are all baseless rumors. Lies spread faster than truth! How can you not know this"

"What kind of gossip is it What she said was well-reasoned." Yan Luoxi argued quietly, unwilling to accept his words: "She mentioned that the woman who threw herself off the building for your sake is called ‘Méi Hǎo’." Because this name sounded unusual, she remembered what the other woman had told her.

"What’s her name" Lǐ n suddenly turned as if pricked by a needle.

"Watch the road while driving!" Yan Luoxi quickly pinched him. "I don’t want to die with you either!"

“Do you think I would like to die with you” Lǐ n pursed his lips tightly, looking very serious: “That woman you mentioned earlier— what’s her name"

"Mei Hao! Have you remembered who she is!" Yan Luoxi stared intently at Li An's reaction, wanting to see him look gloomy and heartbroken as he recalled the past.

"Did I hear wrong" Li An looked ahead on the road, narrowing his eyes as if pondering a question.

"No." Yan Luoxi shook her head firmly, "Have you remembered her Was she someone you liked in the past"

"So small is the world!" A sudden smile appeared on Li An's handsome face, his bright eyes shimmering with light.

Yan Luoxi found Li An’s expression odd, completely devoid of any sadness or melancholy. Instead, there seemed to be a hint of joy and surprise. She shot an annoyed look at the cold-blooded creature beside her, "Even if you don’t feel sad, please don't make that kind of face! Don't you fear Mei Hao turning into a ghost to come find you for revenge"

"Hahaha!" Li An actually burst out in hearty laughter, "I’m not afraid of ghosts coming after me; I'm scared her ghost boyfriend might show up looking for me!"

Yan Luoxi looked taken aback, "How do you know she has a boyfriend"

"I am a god, foretelling the future!" Li An raised his eyebrows in an obviously good mood, "Sis, you've given me some great news. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll treat you."

What kind of great news was that!

Yan Luoxi really couldn't keep up with Li An's thoughts and said in a bad mood, "I want abalone."

"Alright." Without hesitation, Li An nodded.

Yan Luoxi, who initially had a mischievous thought, quickly changed her mind and said, "I want to go shopping, I want to sing karaoke, I want to eat night street food..."

"Sure, anything you like," Lì An smiled brightly. He was usually the most impatient person, rarely spending time with women while shopping or eating at snack stalls, but today he readily agreed to everything Yan Luoxi wanted.

Seeing that Lì An didn't hesitate, Yan Luoxi gave up and muttered to herself, "I want grilled meat."

Lì An, in a good mood, patiently endured her whims. He drove her to a Korean barbecue restaurant where the walls were imitated as rocks and large windows showed the ceaseless traffic under the setting sun.

He gracefully pulled out Yan Luoxi's chair for her and brought her a glass of lemon tea.

"Serving with such enthusiasm must be ulterior motives!" Yan Luoxi thought to herself. She took the menu from Lì An, ordered two plates of pork belly and mackerel, while Lì An joyfully picked several Korean side dishes, spicy soup, and Yan Luoxi's favorite pickled cabbage.

Yan Luoxi couldn't understand why Lì An was suddenly so good to her. She looked at the meat on the grill and occasionally glanced at Lì An.

Lì An clearly felt her gaze; whenever Yan Luoxi looked at him, he would give her a smile, sometimes even winking at her intentionally.

Yan Luoxi gradually realized it was futile to try guessing his thoughts and started eating without restraint.

"A young lady should maintain your figure. If you get too fat, you won't fit into the wedding dress," Lì An joked.

"I don't care; I'm not marrying you anyway. Why are you worrying" Yan Luoxi proudly replied with a lift of her head.nd Gu Yuehui together is the same as wishing me harm.""How could that be harmful to you What's bad about Gu Yuehui He…""That’s enough, Mom.
