Chapter 2: Salacious Behavior

ll he managed was to catch the falling He Yufan.Since childhood, He Yufan had never taken such a beating; her quick reflexes kicked in as she raised her leg without even glancing at the man behind her...Chapter 2: Amorous Behavior

Yan Luoxi was secretly furious, thinking how wicked this person must be to still have such malicious thoughts even in his injured state!

Aware that she couldn’t afford any ambiguity over the matter, she shook her head vigorously and argued back. "What nonsense are you talking How could I possibly cause an accident for you It was clearly your own fault for driving into the old locust tree!"

The others in the room had already confirmed with the traffic police that Li An had indeed driven recklessly into the tree himself, and now seeing him unjustly blaming Yan Luoxi while she gave a clear rebuttal, no one moved to interrupt.

Li An’s桃花eyes (lit. peach blossom eyes) held an air of helpless defeat as he covered his head with his undamaged hand and rolled his eyes, looking listless as he said weakly, "My head hurts; the doctor told me I can't handle any stress!" His complexion was already poor to begin with, making him look truly on the verge of death.

Sao Junhe had always been a staunch supporter who would unhesitatingly back Li An up in such situations. Today, however, he merely looked at Li An and then at Yan Luoxi, his expression complex as if he wanted to say something but held back.

Sao Meizhuo swallowed hard and shot Yan Luoxi a hateful glare. Before she could unleash her verbal assault, Ming Zixi had already rushed over excitedly, gesturing for Yan Luoxi to step inside. "Miss, the doctor said that Li An can't handle any stress. Would you mind coming in first We’ll wait until his condition stabilizes and he’s fully清醒 (lit. awake) before sorting out any misunderstandings."

He had a natural instinct for these kinds of situations and realized that there was something unusual about the relationship between Li An and this young lady, so naturally, he wouldn’t let Yan Luoxi slip away without seizing this juicy gossip opportunity.

Wu Tiantian and Ming Zichen highly approved of Ming Zixing's actions out of concern for Li An's health.

In the face of such a large entourage of relatives and friends supporting Li An, Yan Luoxi had no choice but to comply. She walked hesitantly towards Li An with a worried expression; her arms and legs were wrapped in layers of pristine white gauze, making it hard for anyone to imagine the shocking sight after she fell.

Li An was satisfied as he watched Yan Luoxi slowly approach him. He thought about how he could now officially boss her around as he pleased from then on. Ha! What did a little blood loss matter This sudden realization made him happy and caused him to pass out again.

Zhou Guangtao certainly wasn't willing for his girlfriend to stay behind and take care of another man, let alone a villain like Li An.

Although he was unaware of the past romantic incidents between Li An and Yan Luoxi, he knew that Li An had frequently bullied her in the past. He feared that Li An would continue this behavior as an adult.

Seeing Li An unconscious, Zhou Guangtao took the opportunity to pull Yan Luoxi outside of the hospital room and said seriously, "Luoxi, Li An's car accident has nothing to do with us. The traffic police have already shown surveillance footage proving that he might be trying to harm us intentionally. Considering Mr. Li’s kindness towards us, we will not pursue him for this incident, so you don’t need to stay here."

"Okay, I know," Yan Luoxi agreed anxiously but remained rooted in place.

Yan Luoxi had her own thoughts. Li An was already resentful of her being with Zhou Guangtao; now that they had another accident because of him, he would likely not let them off easily once he recovered from his illness. If she left against his wishes now, it might infuriate the villain even more, leading to even more unpredictable and extreme behavior in the future.

"I think... I'll wait for him to wake up and talk things out before leaving, so he doesn't blurt something out of context," Yan Luoxi muttered.

Zhou Guangtao knew that Yan Luoxi wasn't as gentle and compliant as her appearance suggested. She had always been a decisive person, and Li An was also someone who had taken her in at the Li family. Forcing her to leave wouldn’t be right either, so he sighed helplessly, "Alright then, I'll wait with you until he wakes up."

Yan Luoxi saw that Zhou Guangtao’s handsome face looked exhausted; when Li An crashed into them, he had been pushed hard by her and fell to the ground. Although he hadn’t injured his skin, his clothes were covered in dust from the fall, then later they got stained with blood while rescuing Li An. At this moment, Zhou Guangtao appeared extremely haggard.

"Brother Guangtiao, you should go home and rest first; I’ll wait for Li An to wake up here. Once everything is settled, I'll call you."

Zhou Guangtao had gone straight from the airport to Yan Luoxi's school to find her, then experienced a terrifying car accident, followed by hours of vigil at the hospital. Now he was utterly exhausted, but he still didn't feel right about leaving Yan Luoxi alone with Li An who was as fierce and unpredictable as a wolf. He shook his head in disagreement, "No, I need to stay here with you."

"Brother Guangtao, go home! At the very least, take a shower!" Yan Luoxi grinned and pointed at his dirty clothes. "Besides, don't you have work tomorrow Your first day back on the job in China can’t be wasted."

Zhou Guangtiao looked down at himself, then checked his watch; it was already midnight eleven o'clock. He lowered his chin and carefully embraced Yan Luoxi with his long arms, avoiding her injured area. "I'll go home now. Once everything is settled here, I’ll come right over to pick you up."

"Alright, you should take care of yourself," Yan Luoxi nodded repeatedly.

After sending Zhou Guangtao away, Yan Luoxi let out a sigh of relief.

She wasn't a good girl. She didn't want to confess to Zhou Guangtao about her messy relationship with Li An; she was afraid that the difficult-to-disclose past would bring terrible consequences. She was also anxious about Zhou Guangtao and Li An staying in such close proximity.

Yan Luoxi stood in the empty corridor, staring blankly at Zhou Guangtao's departing figure.

"Miss Yan, it’s chilly outside this late at night. Let’s go back to the ward," Ming Zixi walked over with a strange smile on his face, his tone unusually friendly.

Ming Zixi had made full use of the time when Yan Luoxi was not in the room earlier to learn about her personal information from the Shao siblings.

Actually, he had seen Little Luoxi as a child. He would occasionally accompany his parents to visit Uncle Li's house and saw this timid little girl who was scrawny and small, adopted by the Li family. But the current Yan Luoxi differed too much from her younger days; at that moment, he really couldn't recognize her.

Ming Zixi didn’t remember Yan Luoxi very well, but she remembered him. She knew Ming Zixi was just as bad as Li An. He probably wasn’t worried about her falling ill due to the cool night air, but rather feared that she might escape.

She politely nodded at Ming Zixi with a smile and silently returned to Li An's intensive care ward with him, which was still packed with people. happily. "Ni Xuanyi, when you said you wanted to come out for your studies, you meant to study here, right""Mm-hmm." Ni Xuanyi nodded properly at Liyi.Liyi saw the nervousness in Ni Xuanyi and gently...
