ace like delicate embroidery, accentuating her ethereal and otherworldly appearance. However, an unsettling aura of anger still radiated from her."Xiao Bei... Aunt Xiao Bei..." Yan Luoxi murmured in d...Chapter 60 Registering Marriage
Yan Luoxi spent a few days accompanying Ran Xu outside, putting her efforts into the romantic atmosphere he created. She forced herself to divert her attention, which was the only way to temporarily clear Zhou Guangtao out of her mind.
A few days later, she gradually became more cheerful, though she couldn't completely forget about Zhou Guangtao. However, she seemed a bit more magnanimous.
Yan Luoxi was grateful for everything Ran Xu had done for her and treated him exceptionally well; their relationship appeared to be deepening with each passing day.
However, these days, she had been particularly keen on following financial news. After returning from a day of traveling outside, the first thing she would do was turn on her computer to browse business-related information online.
Yan Luoxi knew that she couldn't let go of Zhou Guangtao. Although she verbally lashed out at He Yufan and truly didn't want to deal with Zhou Guangtao's affairs anymore, she couldn't control her heart or emotions.
This evening, after taking a bath, she sat in bed holding her phone, weighing it repeatedly before finally deciding to turn it on.
The moment the phone turned on, countless unread messages and missed call notifications flooded in.
Yan Luoxi quickly went through them; many of the unanswered calls were from Li An, along with several text messages he had sent.
She casually opened two texts: "Idiot, where are you"
"Stupid person, call me back immediately!"
...
Yan Luoxi shrugged and curled her lips. She didn’t even bother to look at the other messages from Li An; she just deleted them.
She had originally intended to call Li An and plead with him to let Zhou Guangtao off, but seeing how fiercely he was cursing in his text messages, she figured that pleading wouldn’t do any good. After some thought, she decided to turn her phone off.
J ust as she was about to switch off her phone, it rang unexpectedly, startling her so much that the phone nearly slipped from her hand.
Seeing Li An’s name flashing on the screen, she hesitated for a while. Thinking of Zhou Guangtao's predicament, she answered the call.
"Luoxi, where are you" The voice of Li An on the other end was not as furious as she had expected; rather, it was very gentle.
"I... I'm traveling outside." Knowing that Li An disapproved of her coming out with Ran Xu, Yan Luoxi didn’t dare to tell him where she actually was.
"Oh." This time, Li An wasn’t as insistent as usual. He didn’t ask for details about her location; instead, his tone seemed somewhat melancholic and disappointed. "You brat, you didn't even say a word before leaving. A friend sent over some abalone to eat together, but it turned out that I couldn’t find you."
"Haha, sorry!" Yan Luoxi was somewhat taken in by Li An’s warm tone and mustered up the courage to ask, "Second Brother, are... are you making things difficult for Zhou Guangtao"
"Who told you such nonsense Why would I make it hard for him" The voice from Li An's end sounded a bit far away. It seemed as though he was putting on clothes; then there came the sound of his door closing.
Yan Luoxi didn’t dare to argue with Li An and could only try to appeal to his emotions, "Second Brother, will you let him off You see, it’s not easy for him... He just started building up a career in Beijing but had to give everything up and follow me here.
He has achieved what he has today through a lot of hard work and dedication. I will never be with him again in the future, so that I don't feel guilty towards him. Therefore, please bless his career to succeed, so that I can live without牽掛and never think about him anymore!"
"Haha, you little girl, you've used your cunning on me! You know exactly how to hit where it hurts!" Li An chuckled sinisterly from the other end of the phone, with car engine sounds in the background.
Yan Luoxi was caught out, and she couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. She decided to pout instead: "Second Brother, please spare him! He can never compare to you; he's nothing compared to what you were born with..."
"Who said that There is something I don't have!" Li An’s voice suddenly turned cold.
“What” Yan Luoxi quickly racked her brain, trying to think of an answer.
"Your love," Li An's voice dropped heavily, as if the world had gone bleak and desolate.
The back of Yan Luoxi’s neck tingled with unease. How did he bring up this subject again She chuckled awkwardly: "What good is my love anyway It's worthless!"
Li An's voice gradually grew darker, "Don't toy with me anymore, Yan Luoxi. Leave Ran Xu now and come back to me immediately; I will release Zhou Guangtao right away."
"Ah! You... How do you know that I'm with Ran Xu We're not together; I came out for a trip on my own." Yan Luoxi was surprised, then denied it.
“Liar! Not only do I know that you’re with Ran Xu, but I also know where in Yunnan you are. Go to Changshui Airport now and board the plane that my friends have arranged for you. Come back immediately and I will let bygones be bygones. This is your last chance, Yan Luoxi!” Li An spoke calmly, but his words were like dark clouds before a storm, rolling endlessly.
Yan Luoxi was shocked: "You... You’re spying on me"
"I am protecting you, Yan Luoxi. Do you know what it means to turn back when the shore is in sight I have given you many chances already; come back to me immediately!" Li An's words were filled with an aggressive and cold demeanor.
Yan Luoxi was truly frightened by him, hastily hanging up her phone. Afterward, she still felt unsafe and quickly turned off the phone.
She sat blankly in the hotel room for two minutes when a sudden doorbell ringing startled her. She looked at the door with fear as if Li An would break into the room anytime soon.
"Luoxi, Luoxi, are you asleep" Ran Xu's gentle voice faintly came from outside the door, causing Yan Luoxi to unconsciously heave a sigh of relief.
Yan Luoxi rushed over and opened the room door; seeing her pale face, Ran Xu was surprised as he asked, "Luoxi, what’s wrong" With an unsettled spirit, Yan Luoxi's complexion was still somewhat pale, making her dark eyes look even more lively.
Seeing Ran Xu's tall and handsome figure, Yan Luoxi's chaotic heartbeat calmed down a bit. She spoke softly like a child who had committed a mistake: "I just talked to Li An over the phone. I have no idea how he found out we came to Yunnan."
Ran Xu frowned slightly. “How long did you talk with him”
"For several minutes," Yan Luoxi suddenly realized why Li An had been so gentle and warm during their initial conversation; it was because he had a hidden motive, using the phone to locate her. His warmth was meant to prevent alarming her!
“Luoxi, are you trying to get away from Li An” Ran Xu held Yan Luoxi's arm as his beautiful eyes blinked.
"Yes."
"Luoxi, if Li An continues糾纏你，無非是想得到你，如果你想徹底擺脫他，不如跟我登記結婚吧！”冉旭灼灼的目光看著顏落夕，神情專注，語氣熱切。
"Luoxi, since Li An is persistently pursuing you, it's because he wants to possess you. If you truly want to get rid of him for good, why don't we register our marriage" Ran Xu stared intently at Yan Luoxi with a passionate gaze and earnest tone.either ignore it or pretend not to understand. In any case, his tolerance had become incredibly strong."Luoxi, drink a cup of honey water first. You drank alcohol yesterday; this helps with your stoma...
