Yan Luoxi looked at Li An's ashen face, with an ominous atmosphere gathering like storm clouds. She stuttered out her explanation, "He... he is just the son of my mom’s friend... just now... Mom asked him to send me back home... there really isn't anything between us..."
"Aren’t you supposed to be saying that all the attendees at your gathering were old ladies So why did a son of your mom's friend show up" Li An pressed on relentlessly, not letting go of any detail.
Seeing the sinister smile playing around Li An’s lips, Yan Luoxi shuddered and tried to slip away.
Li An, quick as lightning, grabbed Yan Luoxi's wrist. Narrowing his eyes with veins visibly throbbing at the corners: "You lied to me again, didn’t you You went on a blind date with your mom, right That’s why you weren't answering my calls because this man was by your side and you liked him, correct"
"My mom did not bring me for a blind date. This man showed up later, just when I needed to leave, so Mom asked him to see me home." Yan Luoxi knew Li An's temperament; he hated being challenged.
Now that she was his girlfriend, she could no longer handle things by fighting with him like before. She turned around and clung to Li An’s arm, pouting: "Second Brother, I really did not go on a blind date with anyone. This man is someone I don’t know either. Just now the music inside was too loud, so I couldn't hear your call. Sorry about it, don’t be mad."
Yan Luoxi rarely spoke in such a soft and pleading manner when she was with Li An; hearing her sweet voice, his heart softened involuntarily. He gazed deeply into Yan Luoxi’s face, which glowed with rosy health due to recent nourishment. Her lively eyes curved into crescent moons while her lips curled up slightly showing off her small teeth. A playful pink tongue peeked out.
The anger he had been building slowly dissipated; he sighed softly and pulled Yan Luoxi towards the apartment door.
When Yan Luoxi saw that there was a turn for the better, she took advantage of the situation to show concern for Li An: "Didn't you say it would take two days Why did you rush back after the meeting Did you eat yet Are you tired"
Hearing such care from Yan Luoxi, even the last bit of anger in Li An melted away. His heart softened as he kissed her forehead: "Over there, I used every minute like three minutes; I only had breakfast and spent my lunch and dinner time working to get back here sooner to see you. And what did it turn out to be! Hmph!!!"
"Oh, it's all me. I'm sorry. Next time I won't go anywhere else and will just stay at home waiting for you obediently." Yan Luoxi smiled slightly with a gentle scolding towards Li An: "Once we get back, I'll cook delicious food for you to satisfy your appetite."
When he heard what Yan Luoxi said, Li An felt as if warm breeze had swept over his heart, filled with tenderness. He didn't feel angry anymore and spoke gently: "I don’t want you to cook for me; I have already ordered food. All I need is your company."
Yan Luoxi knew about Li An's domineering nature; when he said no cooking, it meant no cooking. She didn't argue with him and let him guide her into the elevator.
Through the thin fabric of his clothes, Yan Luoxi could feel the warmth of Li An’s body, but she couldn’t resist trying to move away slightly, only to be tightly held by Li An's iron-strong arms.
"Don't struggle with me. I'm really exhausted; I've been in meetings all day long and rushed back after a flight, then waited for you downstairs." Li An buried his face into Yan Luoxi’s shoulder like a child, his voice filled with exhaustion and grievance.
Yan Luoxi didn't realize how much she was hurting to hear this; she just obediently leaned against Li An's chest as he held her tightly.
Li An hugged the person in his arms fiercely, as if fearing that Yan Luoxi would disappear. The two who were tense moments ago now stood close and cozy inside the elevator.
They returned home, Li An went to wash his hands and face, while Yan Luoxi pulled out the table, waiting for takeout.
After Li An finished washing up, the food hadn't arrived yet. He leaned back tiredly on the sofa, gestured with his hand, and invited Yan Luoxi to sit beside him; Yan Luoxi immediately moved over like a little bird seeking shelter.
"Your TV is too small. Someday, I'll get you a bigger one!" Li An casually turned on the television.
"No thanks, I think this size is just right!" Yan Luoxi shook her head and declined while her phone rang beside her.
Seeing it was her mother, she picked up the call without hesitation.
"Luoxi dear, are you home yet" The voice of Xue Liping was filled with a mother's warm concern.
A wave of warmth washed over Yan Luoxi as she crisply replied, "I'm home."
"Luoxi dear, what do you think of Yuehui Right now, many people want to set him up on dates. But your luck is good; the moment he met you, he took a fancy to you. How’s dating going between you two Has he asked you out again…"
Really, she had to bring it up when it was least expected!
Yan Luoxi hurriedly ended the call.
It was too late to conceal it; her phone had some static, and Li An, sitting beside her, heard everything clearly. He abruptly stood up from the sofa, his veins bulging on his forehead, and he roared: "Yan Luoxi, you were indeed lying to me! You really went for a date! How dare you go on a blind date without my knowledge! Even after agreeing to be my girlfriend!"
"No, I didn't. Really, I didn't. My mom never told me this before. I met Guo Yuehui by chance, and there's nothing between us..." Yan Luoxi knew she was in trouble now and kept explaining herself.
“You still dare to talk! You're still lying to me!” Li An was as furious as a mad lion, pacing around the living room.
Seeing him look around for something to hit her with, Yan Luoxi became even more frightened. "Li An, you need to calm down and listen to me. Please believe me..."
She didn't understand why he was so suspicious; she had already explained everything clearly to him.
"Your explanations are just excuses! You think I'm an idiot!" Li An grabbed the TV remote control in his hand and threw it forcefully at a mirror on the wall with a loud crash, shattering it into pieces.
Yan Luoxi was startled by this action; seeing the shattered glass, she also lost her temper. "What's your problem This is my home! Why are you breaking things here If you don't trust me and refuse to listen, then leave! Nobody needs you here!"
Li An narrowed his eyes and sneered coldly, "Explain what If I hadn’t been downstairs just now, who knows what you would have done with that man. The image of innocence you show me is just a facade. After breaking up with Zhou Guangtao, you immediately jumped into Ran Xu’s arms—your true nature is one that can't stay put anywhere. You’ve just been playing around with me like a toy, Yan Luoxi. Feels good to deceive me, doesn’t it Do you feel very satisfied now"ere both quite drunk. Especially Zhou Guangtao, after drinking several cups on behalf of He Yufan at dinner, he vomited nonstop when entering the room, feeling like his insides were being twisted toge...
