Yan Luoxi had red eyes, struggling not to let tears fall. She looked at Li An's mouth that once spoke intimate words of love; how she wished this was all a lie, just an elaborate prank by Li An. But his cold and ruthless words still echoed in her ears, making it impossible for her to fool herself.
She bitterly smiled, her voice trembling as she asked: "Li An, all these days, you've been lying to me, right Everything you did was just playing with me, taking revenge on me, correct"
"Yan Luoxi, at this point, you can't blame me. I gave you a chance; but if you couldn’t make me stay infatuated with you, it’s not anyone else's fault," Li An’s words were mocking, like a sharp knife piercing Yan Luoxi’s heart.
This man ruthlessly tore everything apart, making all the beauty before her crumble. The happy future she imagined vanished into thin air.
Yan Luoxi's face flushed red and then pale; Li An was right, if one gambles, they must accept the consequences. She simply didn't have what it took to keep this man by her side, yet here she came, seeking humiliation.
Li An looked at the fragile and pale Yan Luoxi who appeared pitifully forlorn; he couldn’t help but feel a softening in his heart, strongly desiring to run over and tightly embrace her. Yet he was also like an animal trapped by a trap, unwilling to be taken down so easily.
The scene of Yan Luoxi's reluctant farewell with Zhou Guangtao flashed before his eyes; the slight pity and tenderness towards Yan Luoxi quietly rising in his heart was cut off instantly.
Although there were many people in the Li family’s living room, it was eerily quiet, without a sound.
Yan Luoxi stood there, suppressing an imminent surge of pain in her chest. If she had known Li An would act this way, why did she come here
She didn’t want to stay here anymore… She couldn’t stay here any longer… Her lips tightened, and her teeth clenched together to prevent them from trembling. She tried to put on a nonchalant expression as she turned around and walked out step by step.
"Wait a moment."
Yan Luoxi heard Li An’s call; her heart, which wasn’t up to the task, surged with countless hopes. Hastily turning her head to look at Li An.
Li An took out a checkbook from under the coffee table next to him and scribbled something on it before casually tearing off the piece of paper and coldly tossing it in front of Yan Luoxi: "Take this. Since you’ve been with me for so long, I can’t let you sleep without compensation. These should suffice."
In an instant, Yan Luoxi’s anger flared up to ten thousand degrees. She stared at Li An fiercely as if she was seeing him for the first time. She wanted to rush towards Li An and fight with all her might, even wanting to cut him into pieces.
But just as she was about to approach Li An, Sun Jingjing in a provocative nightgown appeared on the staircase, breaking the tense atmosphere downstairs. In a coquettish tone, she said, "Li An, why haven’t you come up yet I’ve been waiting for so long."
Li An turned around and looked at Sun Jingjing on the stairs, smiling with such tenderness that it seemed he was using his utmost gentleness to tolerate his beloved’s indulgence.
Yan Luoxi could no longer move forward. She stared blankly at Li An, as if someone had plunged a sharp knife into her heart and twisted it repeatedly, causing her to be unable to utter a word.
Sun Jingjing turned her head and glanced at Yan Luoxi with a contemptuous look: "Luoxi, have you been causing trouble long enough Shouldn’t you be done by now If the matter of your seducing my fiancé gets out to my dad or your mom, it might even affect your mom’s reputation."
Yan Luoxi trembled.
She fully witnessed Li An's coldness; not only did he humiliate her in front of everyone until she felt utterly devastated, but he also called out his fiancée to trample upon her heart mercilessly. It seemed that he either didn't realize or simply ignored the fact that it was her who was suffering and wishing for death.
She heard a crack somewhere inside her body; everything around her floated in emptiness, blurry at both near and far distances, leaving only sorrow and despair.
She felt she could no longer bear it. She turned woodenly and walked out mechanically when Li An shouted for her to come back for the check. All she did was give him a bitter smile.
Yan Luoxi's steps were unsteady, and as she walked down from the Li family villa's staircase, she stumbled and fell onto the ground; it seemed that her leg had been bruised somewhere, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly where it hurt. All she felt was an unbearable pain throughout her body.
She gritted her teeth and tried to stand up with all her might when suddenly someone held her elbow from behind, helping her up.
At this moment, she still hoped that the person who helped her would be Li An who had changed his mind. But as soon as she turned around, she saw Shao Junhe's face instead.
Yan Luoxi felt foolish at her own naivety even in such a situation.
She looked coldly and pushed away Shao Junhe’s hand, saying quietly, "Thank you. Please leave."
Shao Junhe helped Yan Luoxi up, waiting until she was steady on her feet before letting go of her hand; his voice was low but pleading, "Luoxi, let me take you home. It's hard to hail a cab here.
"No, thank you." Yan Luoxi firmly refused. She stared fiercely at Shao Junhe's face as if he were the hateful Li An himself: "Stay away from me. You guys are all cut from the same cloth; don't pretend to be nice in front of me."
"It’s not like that, Luoxi... I..."
Before Shao Junhe could finish speaking, Ming Zixi also walked out of the room, showing great concern: "Luoxi, that kid Li An is acting up again. Don’t take it to heart. Did you hurt yourself when you fell Where are you going"
Where was she going
The thought brought a chill from deep within Yan Luoxi's heart. This time, she had come back with Li An, and for a while, she believed that having Li An meant having a home.
But now Li An didn’t want her anymore.
In this city, she had no place to stay at all. If Shao Junhe hadn’t put her up in the hotel, she would probably still be at the airport.
Seeing Yan Luoxi’s face pale and her entire being listless as if she couldn't even speak, Shao Junhe turned to Ming Zixi and said: "Brother Ming, I’ll take her back to the hotel."
"Oh my ancestors, calm down for a moment. Don’t make things worse." Ming Zixi gave a subtle nod towards the room with his eyes. Actually, he could have stayed behind just now; however, since Shao Junhe had come out with Yan Luoxi, Li An’s expression was as dark as water. To avoid an internal conflict, he felt compelled to follow them.
Ming Zixi pulled on Shao Junhe and called over a driver nearby. With great authority, he coaxed Yan Luoxi into the car. Shao Junhe told the driver the name of the hotel where Yan Luoxi was staying, thus sending her off.n. What am I supposed to do Saying those things earlier was just because of your provocation. I... really don’t know what else I can do to earn your forgiveness and win you back."Yan Luoxi took a step...
