Luoxi's accusing finger from his nose. "Foolish woman, do you know the truth of the matter Yet here you are, dictating to me!The woman surnamed Mei met me at a gathering with friends and fell in love...Chapter 30 True or False
This renowned actress named Manman was not bothered by Li An's coldness. She smiled calmly and walked a few more steps, her movements fluid like flowing clouds.
Her long hair loosely tied into a bun at the back appeared casual but required some thought to achieve; several strands of raven-black silky hair gently draped over her fair neck, adding much allure, leaving one's imagination running wild.
She walked up to the table and with her pale white hands, lit a cigarette for Li An. "Young Master Li, it is my greatest honor today that you came to listen to me sing; I should be the one thanking you."
When speaking to Li An, she deliberately lowered her sweet voice, causing Yan Luoxi, who was standing by, to feel a tingling sensation.
"You're too kind, Manman. You've changed a lot and are now considered one of the top performers in Kunqu Opera; I know that much. Today, it should be me thanking you for singing for me," Li An seemed incapable of appreciating the beauty in front of him, unconsciously fidgeting with Yan Luoxi's hand on the table while talking to Manman, his eyes occasionally glancing at her. To others, this appeared as an indescribable affection.
Seeing Li An's behavior, a slight chill replaced Manman’s smile; she looked at Yan Luoxi through lowered lashes and tried to compose herself before serving Li An tea once more. "Young Master Li, would you like some tea"
Raising his eyes to look at this Manman, Li An's lips curved into a thin mocking smile: "You've been doing this for quite some time now, but everyone says you're clever and perceptive. Yet today, it seems your eyes are blind; didn't you see my fiancée sitting right next to me
Don’t tell me you don’t know that all the men in our Li family fear their wives I have to listen to her at home on everything, so how can you only offer tea to me without seeing her beside me Are your eyes blind or are you trying to harm me" With his gaze, Li An did not hesitate to praise Manman's infatuation and foolishness.
Manman was slightly surprised and her mouth opened slightly. How did things suddenly turn out this way She had already asked Sir Wen about it, and he said that Young Master Li didn't introduce the woman by his side to him. According to his previous character and habits, any woman accompanying him today would be of little significance.
Relaxed in her assumptions, Manman focused all her attention on Li An and wasn't paying attention to Yan Luoxi, who only had average looks, sitting beside him.
Hearing Li An say that Yan Luoxi was his fiancée, the infatuated Manman almost fainted. She slightly raised her eyes at Li An with a mournful look and then poured tea for Yan Luoxi, "Miss, please have some tea!" Her tone was soft and melancholic, filled with sorrow.
By now, Yan Luoxi had already understood the situation. She took the cup of tea that Manman offered without drinking it but smiled thoughtfully at Li An instead.
Seeing Yan Luoxi's reaction, all the smiles on Li An's face disappeared. He sipped two mouthfuls of the soup in front of him and frowned coldly, "Manman, go call Sir Wen and tell him that this soup has cooled down and I want a fresh bowl."
So obvious a dismissal, how could Manman fail to understand She softly responded and turned her delicate body away with infinite sadness.
Yan Luoxi propped up her chin as an impish smile appeared on her face. She asked Li An, "Does she like you Your coldness is really heartbreaking for a beauty."
"There are plenty of people who like me and if I married them all, I could support them all too. But the key question is: would you agree" Li An reached out to pat Yan Luoxi's little face as his narrow phoenix eyes twinkled slightly.
"You can marry, but I want to be the main wife and have them all serve me!" Yan Luoxi smiled smugly.
"Don't you have a conscience You want someone to serve you, so you're willing to give me up. If I were to take all of them as wives, are you trying to exhaust me..." Li An whispered and teased her lowly by Yan Luoxi's ear.
"It’s broad daylight; don’t talk nonsense!" Yan Luoxi couldn't bear it when Li An said such inappropriate things in public during the daytime. Her face flushed red involuntarily.
Upon receiving Manman's notification, Mr. Wen came out with a bowl of soup and saw that Li An had approached that girl. With his head tilted up, he looked at her smilingly with an ingratiating expression like a little lapdog, lacking only the tail to wag behind him.
He couldn't help but secretly reproach himself, thinking that he was shortsighted just now and failed to notice how much affection Young Master Li had for this girl, resulting in his failure to inform Manman, leaving her embarrassed.
After careful thought, however, he didn’t think it was entirely his fault. This second son of the Li family has always been meticulous since childhood, making it hard for people to read him. With different women around him every day, who could tell what’s real and what isn't
Only today, in front of this girl, did this unpredictable second young master finally reveal his true feelings.
Li An and Yan Luoxi ate private dishes at the Wen family's residence but didn’t leave directly by car. Instead, they went to a small park in the backyard of the Wen family compound. This park had an extremely similar design style to that of the Wen family’s house, with small bridges over flowing streams, green trees shading the area, and sparse pedestrians strolling leisurely within.
Yan Luoxi, after eating her fill, walked briskly in this beautiful environment, humming a tune as she went. After taking a few steps forward, she turned around and noticed that Li An was already lagging behind.
The sun was setting at this time, casting orange rays through the tree shadows onto Li An's face. A cool breeze blew by, causing the trees to sway gently, making his facial features flicker between light and shadow. Suddenly, Yan Luoxi felt that Li An looked incredibly distant and unfamiliar before her eyes, leaving an inexplicable emptiness in her heart.
Even though it was still somewhat warm at night, Yan Luoxi could feel a hint of chill. She looked back at Li An with some anxiety, "What's wrong Is there something the matter"
Seeing Yan Luoxi’s jet-black eyes gazing at him, clear and distinct like two spheres of glass immersed in mercury, Li An felt a pang in his heart and gave her a radiant smile. "You silly girl, how could anything be wrong with me I was just thinking about the wedding!"
Yan Luoxi was still just a young girl, no matter how familiar she had become with Li An; hearing him mention the wedding made her blush and feel nervous in her heart. She felt sweet and excited but completely failed to notice all the thoughts that flashed through Li An's mind in that instant.
She steadied herself, slowed down her pace, walked up beside Li An, and asked softly: "Um... do we need to inform my mom"
Li An narrowed his eyes slightly. Yan Luoxi felt that his gaze had become more complicated, there was a moment when he stared at her so intently that she shivered in fear; she almost suspected that she might have said something wrong. Finally, Li An laughed again the next second, reaching out to ruffle her hair. "You don’t need to worry about your mother’s side of things, my family will take care of it and send someone important to bring her over."
Only then did Yan Luoxi feel somewhat relieved and smiled gently. She presumed that since her mother was an elder, Li An would have his father or mother contact her and arrange for a suitable person to come pick her up.ived at the wedding venue by helicopter.In fact, Yan Luoxi didn’t want to ride in this noisy helicopter; she had to speak loudly just to be heard over the noise. But Li An insisted on using a helicopt...
