Ruan Zhao did not continue to follow Nie Xuanyi; instead, he left by car. The place where Nie Xuanyi was gradually disappeared from his sight.
After being on the plane for over ten hours and just getting a glimpse of her, Ruan Zhao thought about seeing Nie Xuanyi and felt quite complicated emotions.
The compartment was quiet. On the highway leading to the airport, monotonous scenery flew past both sides. As the sun set, dark clouds began to press down. When he left, Ruan Zhao had hope in his heart, thinking this journey would be short and fleeting. But when returning back, he found it so long that it was unbearable.
Finally, the airport appeared at the end of the horizon. Ruan Zhao silently got off the car and looked toward the city direction: My dear girl, goodbye!
Even though Li Yi urgently wanted to see Ruan Zhao, he still arranged dinner for Nie Xuanyi and personally prepared a bowl of red bean porridge and placed it on the bedside table. He gazed at the lightly sleeping Nie Xuanyi with affection in his eyes, leaned down to kiss her cheek briefly before leaving hurriedly.
Even before Ruan Zhao’s plane took off, Li Yi had already arrived with a car.
In the café of the airport,
The air was filled with suffocating silence. Li Yi and Ruan Zhao sat facing each other. Li Yi's brows were knitted together, his expression clearly displeased. It seemed as if Ruan Zhao had anticipated that Li Yi would catch up to him; he faced Li Yi without any change in expression but just looked down at the coffee cup in front of him.
The sun outside the window had already set, and the afterglow was gradually disappearing bit by bit. An oppressive chill enveloped both of them uncontrollably; all apparent calmness seemed to be a harbinger of an impending storm.
"You promised me that you wouldn't interfere with Xuanxuan's and my life again." Li Yi's gaze towards Ruan Zhao was as sharp as a knife. If Ruan Zhao didn't hold the position he did in the Golden Triangle, Li Yi would have surely gotten rid of him.
Li Yi didn't kill Ruan Zhao not because Ruan Zhao was powerful and influential in the Golden Triangle or because the Li family couldn't afford to provoke Ruan Zhao. It was because if he killed Ruan Zhao, the temporary balance in the Golden Triangle would be disrupted. Those vicious people without a leader would then fight each other for territory and benefits, causing more deaths and suffering for countless families.
If Ruan Zhao were left alive, with his leadership ability, at least peace could be maintained within the Golden Triangle for another two or three decades. Li Haonan's roots were in the Golden Triangle; Li Yi didn't want his dad to worry about matters there and didn't wish for more innocent people to die, so he couldn't kill Ruan Zhao.
"I'm sorry, I broke my promise," Ruan Zhao said softly.
Li Yi was somewhat surprised. It wasn't easy for someone like Ruan Zhao to admit his mistake; the anger in his heart subsided slightly.
"I didn't mean anything else by it. I just wanted to see if she's doing well." Ruan Zhao turned and looked out of the glass window at the vast, empty helipad, a look of dejection on his face. "Though I promised you that I wouldn't interfere with her life again, I loved her, and I can’t let go of her feelings, so I came to take a look."
Li Yi looked coldly at Ruan Zhao. "Then now Can you still not let go of her"
Ruan Zhao remained silent without responding.
Liyi narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent in his expression. "I'll tell you straight: our Li family men are particularly petty, especially when it comes to their wives. We always have clear objectives and show no mercy towards those who hinder us. Regardless of whether this person is an administrator at the Golden Triangle or not, today marks my last polite visit to you. You should go back to the Golden Triangle and focus on your business, staying away from Xuanxuan. Otherwise, I will make sure your family loses everything, and I'll make your death a painful one."
Ruan Zhao smiled nonchalantly. "I'm not afraid of dying; living without Xuanxuan is even more painful than death. If it weren't for my family's sake, I would never let go of Xuanxuan."
Liyi looked at the stubborn Ruan Zhao with a hint of mockery. "Xuanxuan and I are truly in love; she wouldn't break up with me over anyone or anything. So you should start living your life from now on, without any further unrealistic expectations towards her,"
Ruan Zhao looked out the window without saying a word, effectively acknowledging Liyi's words.
Liyi stood up, adjusted his clothes slightly, and smiled at Ruan Zhao. "I have one more thing to tell you: Xuanxuan is pregnant; we're about to become parents. What hope do you think you still have"
Ruan Zhao suddenly looked up at Liyi, his face turning pale.
"Ruan Zhao, you are a smart and powerful man with plenty of resources. Why would you insist on pursuing Xuanxuan, who doesn't love you I'm being tough now, but I'll also be kind," said Liyi,擅長打完一巴掌再給個甜棗的做法，“我和萱萱即將成為父母，你和萱萱永遠不可能了。還是找一個愛你的，或者你喜歡的女人結婚過日子吧！”
Ruan Zhao seemed stunned by the news of Ni Xuanyi's pregnancy, sitting motionless as if in a daze.
Seeing Ruan Zhao's expression, Liyi felt incredibly satisfied and smiled. He then walked out confidently; his wife was waiting for him at home, so he couldn't stay away too long.
Ni Xuanyi woke up to find the room unusually quiet. As a habit, she turned her head to look for Li Yi, but found no one in the room except for the warm aroma of congee filling the air.
Sitting up from bed, she picked up the still-warm bowl and sipped some congee. The rice was soft and delicious, giving her a sense of happiness again as it melted on her tongue. This man is becoming increasingly gentle and considerate towards me.
After having the congee, Ni Xuanyi felt more energetic and spirited. She washed her face in the bathroom before heading downstairs to look for Li Yi. The housekeeper informed her that Li Yi had gone out but would return soon for dinner.
Where could he have gone
Ni Xuanyi was puzzled. Since they started traveling together, Li Yi had never been away from her for so long without calling to handle any affairs.
Suddenly recalling Ruan Zhao, she felt worried about his safety and also hoped that nothing bad would happen to him.
Back in the bedroom, Ni Xuanyi sat on the sofa watching TV uneasily. She finally heard the engine of a car downstairs and quickly stood up but then paused and sat back down before going to watch more TV.
Li Yi returned home upon hearing that Ni Xuanyi had woken up. He hurried upstairs, pushed open the bedroom door, and saw her sitting in the warm, spacious room eating candied fruit and watching TV. Her serene face was beautiful under the soft light, making Li Yi's heart warm as he walked quietly into the room.
"Where did you go I couldn't find you when I woke up," Ni Xuanyi pouted at Li Yi in a cute manner.tly go get water for her. If Shao Junhe could be half as good to her as Li An was to Yan Loxi—no, even a third of it would make her happy!At this moment, a car drove into the courtyard from outside. A...
