Luoxi told Zhou Guangtao that his mother had found a new husband named Sun Zhijun from the Sun Import and Export Trading Company, Zhou Guangtao wasn't particularly surprised or shocked. He maintained...Chapter 80 First Date as Girlfriends

Upon seeing Li An so suave and debonair, while she felt like a drab country chicken in comparison, Yan Luoxi blushed and was too bashful to approach him.

Li An turned around with a puzzled gaze, sizing up the girl in her fleece hoodie, jeans, and sneakers. Seeing this, Yan Luoxi became even more timid, not daring to look up but staring at some spot on the ground instead.

Suddenly she heard Li An’s voice: "Alright then, stop feeling ashamed of yourself; being able to reflect on your actions is what makes you a good person. Come on, let's go eat."

Li An drove them straight to an upscale Western restaurant. Seeing where he parked the car, Yan Luoxi panicked and said: "Don’t come here! I can't even get in wearing this!"

"Let him try!" Li An snapped with a glare. "If anyone dares look down on my girlfriend, I’ll shut that dump of his right down."

The moment Li An got out of the car, he took Yan Luoxi’s arm and led her in. Fearing the waiters would throw her out, Yan Luoxi quickly clung to Li An's arm as they walked into the restaurant amidst everyone else's odd gazes.

Inside, a soft fragrance of lilacs wafted through the air; the silverware on each table gleamed brightly, and white napkins were neatly folded. Each glass held red wine in deep hues, and the background music was an ethereal solo violin melody.

Yan Luoxi sat comfortably on her chair as she followed Li An around without anyone daring to chase her away. A slight smile curled at the corners of her lips.

Everyone says women are vain, going crazy for tall, rich, and handsome men. However, this is not about vanity; who wouldn't like to enjoy such a carefree and romantic life

Yan Luoxi doesn’t particularly love Western food, but she enjoys the atmosphere it creates, which makes people feel relaxed and intoxicated, as if life has become several times more beautiful.

Lǐ nwèi ordered for her a clear soup made from wild mushrooms, fruit salad, an 80% cooked steak, and roast pigeon with vegetables seasoned with thyme. Each dish was one of Yan Luoxi's favorites in Western cuisine.

Yan Luoxi looked at the dishes on the table with slight感慨in her heart; when did this rascal Li An become so considerate How did he know what she liked to eat in a Western restaurant

Their table was near the window, and since it was lunchtime, there were quite a few people dining here. Passersby who saw Lǐ nwèi casted admiring looks at him, while turning their heads to throw envious glances at Yan Luoxi, which made her feel rather elated.

Indeed, as a woman, having such an outstanding male companion like Li An by one's side is undoubtedly fulfilling when it comes to vanity. Even though she and Lǐ nwèi had a very bad relationship before, this was still a beautiful thing that satisfied her vanity.

Furthermore, today Lǐ nwèi’s behavior was particularly graceful; he kept smiling throughout the meal and wasn't as sharp-tongued as usual. This made Yan Luoxi feel increasingly at ease.

"Luoxi, do you have any plans after resting for a few days" Li An carefully cut up the steak in her plate into small pieces and then placed it back in front of her.

Yan Luoxi poked at the steak in her plate and said rather generously: "I want to take two days off, and then go out looking for a job."

"Why would you think of looking for a job" Li An asked with some puzzlement.

Sir, you really don't understand the hardships of life!

"People like us have to work to survive!" Yan Luoxi smiled revealing her teeth.

Li An half-jokingly glared at her and then leaned in with a warm smile. He picked up a piece of meat from his plate and placed it into Yan Luoxi's bowl, before gently placing his large hand on her cheek and said softly: "Luoxi, since you agreed to be my girlfriend, we are connected. Everything I have belongs to you as well; there is no distinction between us.

Recently, you've had too many things going on, and I know that you're exhausted in both body and mind. It truly pains me to see this happen. Can you take a break for now

The silver light from above cast a faint shadow on Li An's straight nose, creating an unusual effect that made his expression seem incredibly sincere, with the look of concern spreading from his eyes, exactly where it should be.

At the same time, his voice was unhurried and deep, melodious yet profound, as if possessing a remarkable penetrating quality, especially the words 'it pains me', which clearly resonated in Yan Luoxi's heart.

In this romantic and elegant setting, under such a warm and sweet atmosphere, for an instant, Yan Luoxi experienced a kind of illusion, as though she was witnessing the handsome male lead declaring his deep feelings to the female lead. It left her somewhat stunned.

"Luoxi, listen to me, it's almost year-end now. Rest at home before the New Year and we can discuss your plans after the holiday," Li An lowered his eyes slightly, with a charming smile gently blooming on the corners of his lips, exuding an extremely pure aura.

The highball glass in front of her was crystal clear, with ice cubes floating in the amber liquid. Beside her stood a stunning man who dazzled the eyes, his dark eyes filled with concern and warmth, making her heart skip a beat.

Yan Luoxi nodded obediently as if enchanted. Soon she came to her senses and cursed herself for giving in so easily. Usually she had some resistance towards Li An Ting, but maybe it was the girlfriend title that restrained her rebellious spirit.

The moment Li Yi saw Yan Luoxi nodding, his face lit up with joy. He held onto Yan Luoxi's hand on the table, "Luoxi, you're so great!"

A feeling of being tricked overwhelmed Yan Luoxi, and instinctively she felt a sense of danger approaching as she tried to pull her hand away from Li Yi’s grasp. However, he held onto her tightly, making it impossible for her to move.

This Western meal left Yan Luoxi in a daze, so much that when they were leaving, she still seemed distracted. While Li Yi was two steps behind her answering a call, Yan Luoxi walked straight ahead.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind beside her; a young man hurried into the restaurant and bumped into her as he passed them by. She was just stepping down from a step and lost her balance. Her hands tried to grab something but missed.

Before she hit the ground, she sighed inwardly in despair: This is it, she would fall flat on her face right outside the restaurant entrance. On her first day as Li An’s girlfriend, she made such a big fool of herself, truly disgracing Master Li's reputation!

Closing her eyes, Yan Luoxi braced for impact. But to her surprise, there was no pain as expected in the next second; instead, her waist was caught by a pair of strong hands and she landed in a warm embrace.

A familiar scent wafted into her nostrils and when she opened her eyes, they met Li An's gaze filled with panic and anxiety, which he hadn't had time to hide.sical skills weren't as good as Luo An's, the strength of a young man on his rage was unimaginable. He fought with Luo An for quite some time before gradually falling at a disadvantage and being pinne...
