Yan Luoxi, under Shao Junhe's support, obediently stood up. However, her legs were a little numb from sitting for too long; she staggered slightly when taking a step forward.

Shao Junhe noticed Yan Luoxi’s drowsy eyes and weary posture, feeling an unspoken tenderness in his heart. He couldn't help but softly suggest, "Luoxi, are you tired Would you like me to carry you back"

At this moment, Yan Luoxi was still a bit confused about some things. She really was exhausted and didn’t protest when Shao Junhe made the suggestion. Seeing Shao Junhe squatting in front of her, she obediently got onto his back as he wished.

When Shao Junhe saw that Yan Luoxi listened to him, a smile appeared at the corners of his lips. With Yan Luoxi's slender body on his back, he felt an indescribable stirring in his heart; it was such a soft and delicate sensation that seemed to melt into him.

No matter how kind-hearted he was, as a rich man’s son who had long been playing around with women, there had indeed been many women in his life. However, they were all fleeting relationships or just for show. It was the first time for him to have such close contact with a woman whom he loved deeply.

Shao Junhe felt an indescribable love and excitement welling up inside him; the person lying on his back seemed like the most precious thing in his life. He tightly held Yan Luoxi’s legs, carefully walking forward, hoping that this road would stretch endlessly without ever coming to an end.

Once Shao Junhe carried Yan Luoxi back into town, everyone immediately noticed them. The shopkeepers on both sides of the street knew Miss Shao was ill and weakly built; they didn’t harbor any inappropriate thoughts about Shao Junhe carrying Yan Luoxi home. Instead, they thought that Shao Junhe treated his real girlfriend wonderfully well and deeply cared for her.

A girl could find such a man to be her husband; she would truly be blessed.

Xiao Junhe carried Yan Luoxi the whole way, with a smile on his face. He was immersed in sweet and fragrant bliss, drunk with happiness. There had only been one woman in this lifetime who could move him so deeply—Yan Luoxi.

It was noon now, and the weather began to get hot. By the time they reached the hotel entrance, Xiao Junhe's forehead was already covered in a thin layer of sweat. Although he was somewhat tired, he still hesitated to put Yan Luoxi down. Looking into her calm eyes and seeing her lonely expression, he calmed his excitement and held her hand as they walked back into their room.

After staying out for a while, Yan Luoxi felt thirsty. Xiao Junhe first asked her to wash her hands and face before pouring her a glass of juice. Seeing that she had drunk the juice, he started playing with some imported golden tangerines on the coffee table and kindly asked her, "Luoxi, do you want to eat these They're very sweet."

Yan Luoxi smiled vaguely in response. Xiao Junhe washed his hands before starting to peel a tangerine for her. The tangerine was small with an extremely thin skin; he peeled it clumsily but attentively.

The tender flesh of the tangerine segments was juicy and very sweet. After tasting one and finding it delicious, Yan Luoxi wanted another. Seeing that Xiao Junhe had just peeled another segment, she actually reached out to take it from his palm and put it into her mouth to enjoy.

Xiao Junhe was overjoyed by Yan Luoxi's willingness to be so proactive. A tender affection radiated from the corners of his eyes, slowly enveloping Yan Luoxi bit by bit.

While Xiao Junhe was caring for Yan Luoxi attentively and unobtrusively, Li An was taking the female secretary provided by his older brother overseas on a study trip.

Liyi knew that Li An was intelligent, but in the past two years, his thoughts were no longer focused on the company's affairs. As a result, he wasn't well-versed in the business operations. To prevent Li An from making mistakes in this major investment project, he dispatched Du Zijun, a beautiful and capable female secretary who had been by his side for two years, to assist Li An with his work.

Having worked alongside Liyi for more than two years, Du Zijun handled matters steadily and maturely; many people were smitten with her.

The moment Li An saw Du Zijun at the airport, despite their distance and the surrounding noise, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and warmth envelop him. This feeling left him utterly amazed, almost making him think it was a hallucination. However, after just one second, he snapped out of his reverie.

This woman bore some resemblance to Yan Luoxi.

"Mr. Li, nice to meet you," Du Zijun, slightly taller than Yan Luoxi and dressed in a light gray business suit, greeted Li An with an incredibly lively smile that seemed to sparkle in her clear eyes, hinting at a touch of innocence amid her maturity.

Li An took another close look at the woman before him and realized that while Du Zijun did share some physical traits with Yan Luoxi, their facial expressions and overall demeanor were entirely different.

He smiled back at Du Zijun, then cast a few more glances her way. A sudden sense of aversion stirred within him.

As he boarded the plane, Li An felt somewhat downcast.

The sharp-elbowed older brother must have noticed some resemblance between this woman and Yan Luoxi. By sending her to his side, what does he mean—mocking him or reminding him not to forget the past

Lǐ An’s face was stern as he pursed his lips and ignored Dù Zhijun sitting beside him. His eyes were fixed on the seemingly motionless clouds outside the airplane window, his expression serious. He thought to himself that when they got off the plane, he would send her back.

The long flight was monotonous. After staring at the hypnotic layers of clouds outside for a while, Lǐ An gradually fell asleep.st trying to get back at me because of Mei Hao You call yourself a man; if you have the guts, come find me directly and vent your frustrations! Using Luoxi as leverage—what kind of ability is that!"In...
