des, hadn’t she endured beforeJust endure it! When he gets tired of her eventually, perhaps she can get a large sum of settlement money then; she wouldn’t be at a loss. How much are celebrities and mo...Chapter 86: My Family Member Luo Xi

Yan Luoxi was startled by Li An's straightforward question and instinctively pulled back her neck. Born into a wealthy family, Li An was well aware of the intrigues at such gatherings; Yan Luoxi explained in a low voice, "No, no, my mom just brought me to their social group gathering, there are no young people here."

Only then did Li An's tone soften slightly. "When are you coming home"

"Soon." Seeing Gu Yuehui finish his call and approach her, Yan Luoxi was afraid that he would speak to her and be overheard by Li An; she hurriedly said, "My mom is calling me, I'll hang up now." She promptly ended the call, even though she could imagine Li An's furious expression.

Gu Yuehui observed Yan Luoxi hastily hanging up her phone and asked with a smile, "Have I been taking too much of your time"

"No! Not at all. I have nothing else to do." Yan Luoxi stuffed the mobile back into her handbag; she wanted to appear polite in front of her benefactor.

Yan Luoxi chatted with Gu Yuehui for a while longer, vaguely sensing that her phone was ringing inside her bag. She knew it must be Li An, who wouldn't give up until he had his way, going berserk; she was being driven mad by the incessant calls and wished to leave the party quickly and find somewhere quiet to call back Li An.

Gu Yuehui noticed her distracted state and kindly asked, "Luo Xi, is there something wrong"

"Yes." This time, Yan Luoxi didn't dare waste any more time; she rubbed her forehead and said, "I'm not feeling well and want to go home early. I'll go tell my mom now."

“If you're not feeling well, let me accompany you.” Gu Yuehui spoke in a gentlemanly manner.

Yan Luoxi no longer cared about how Guo Yuehui was performing and headed towards Xue Liping. Xue Liping was chatting with someone, but her attention was focused on her daughter. Seeing Yan Luoxi and Guo Yuehui heading in her direction, she hurriedly came over.

"Mom, I'm not feeling well and need to leave for a while." Yan Luoxi pouted at Xue Liping, hoping that Xue Liping would let her off the hook.

Xue Liping had already achieved her goal and painfully said, "Then you can go back. I still have some matters to discuss with your aunties. Yuehui, could you please send Luoxi home"

Yan Luoxi didn’t expect her mother to pull this move and was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Of course, Auntie," Guo Yuehui immediately agreed. "Luoxi said she wasn't feeling well, so I wanted to send her back."

"You don’t need to bother doing that; it’s too much trouble for you. I can take a cab." Yan Luoxi waved and refused.

"Let Yuehui send you home; otherwise, I won't feel at ease," Xue Liping firmly made the decision for Yan Luoxi and escorted them to the entrance of the lobby, making sure that Yan Luoxi got into Guo Yuehui’s car.

Since it was difficult to hail a taxi here and she urgently wanted to go home, Yan Luoxi decided to let Guo Yuehui give her a ride.

"These days my workplace is on vacation, but Mom insisted that I come back. Never would have thought I’d run into you here… By the way, how did you leave Beijing and end up here" Guo Yuehui kept chatting with Yan Luoxi, seemingly very interested in her.

Before Yan Luoxi could reply, her phone inside her bag rang again. The car was quiet, making her ringtone clear to hear. Knowing that Li An would definitely say something unpleasant if she answered the call, she pressed the end button instead.

Two seconds didn't pass before the phone rang again persistently. Guo Yuehui glanced at Yan Luoxi twice, and with no choice, she picked up the call.

The moment she answered, Li An's furious roar came through, "Who said it was okay for you to hang up on me just now And why haven't you been answering my calls since then How many times have I called What are you doing"

This time, Yan Luoxi didn't even dare look at Guo Yuehui. She massaged her temples and endured the call, saying, "The music in the room was too loud just now; I couldn't hear my phone ringing. Right now, I'm taking a ride home."

"What kind of vehicle are you riding to come back" Li An's tone was very suspicious.

Yan Luoxi felt her head splitting with pain. If she said it was Guo Yuehui's car she was in, Li An would definitely explode with jealousy; but if she said she took a taxi, wouldn't that be awkward with Guo Yuehui sitting right next to her

In a flash of inspiration, she countered his question. "Where are you now Are you free" Today there was an annual summary meeting for one of Li An's out-of-town companies; he must have just finished eating.

But Li An wouldn't let her off the hook and continued to ask, "What kind of vehicle did you take"

Yan Luoxi was getting frustrated by his persistence. She said irritably, "I'm almost home now; I'll call back after I get there." Then she turned off her phone's sound.

"Sorry about that, it must have been annoying for you," Yan Luoxi looked apologetically at Guo Yuehui.

Guo Yuehui smiled generously. "It’s alright; your friend really cares about you."

Yan Luoxi sighed softly; Li An's domineering concern was really overwhelming her.

Guo Yuehui, being a considerate person, noticed Yan Luoxi's displeased expression and didn't say anything further. He turned on the car’s music instead.

Yan Luoxi felt stuffy in her chest, so she wound down the window slightly; the evening breeze gently blew in, tousling her hair. She tucked her unruly tresses behind her ears, revealing her delicate round earlobes and porcelain neck.

Guo Yuehui turned his head slightly and was inexplicably moved by this sensitive little woman. Ever since he saw her for the first time in the capital city, his heart had inexplicably fallen for her; even knowing she had a boyfriend with whom she had a good relationship, he didn't want to give up on their connection easily.

The quietness under Yan Luoxi's residential compound was eerie, punctuated only by faint insect chirping. She thanked Guo Yuehui and grabbed her bag before opening the car door to get out.

After stepping out of the car, she took two steps forward but suddenly stopped in her tracks. Someone stood a short distance away; under the streetlight, he was tall and slim with an elegantly handsome face cast in shadows.

Yan Luoxi hadn't expected Li An to return unexpectedly or that he would be waiting for her here. She couldn’t control the trembling in her heart as she watched dumbfounded as Li An strode towards her briskly.

Li An didn't rush straight over to Yan Luoxi but approached Guo Yuehui’s car quickly, as if afraid that he would drive off immediately; he steadied his hand on the car door and bent down to look at Guo Yuehui inside.

When Li An saw the dashing figure of Guo Yuehui with an exceptional bearing sitting in the car, his good-looking eyes suddenly curved into crescent moons that were irresistibly alluring,

"Thank you, sir, for driving my Luoxi home."al, gentle yet strong, and there are countless other virtues in you. You deserve the most perfect love in this world."Emotions are the hardest things to explain in life. Although we haven’t spent much...
