Chapter 29: Young Master Er's Anger Abates

Zhou Guangtao's eyes reddened as he clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly."Back then, I was young and scared. I also felt ashamed, so... Later on, I got used to it. It wasn't until...Chapter 29 Calm Down, Young Master Er

Yan Luoxi put down her water cup and glanced at Zhou Guangtao, asking casually, "Where is Yufan Has she recovered from her cold Will she go to work today"

"Ah!" The expression on Zhou Guangtao's face visibly froze. "Her illness seems to have improved, so...she should be going to the company today."

Seeing Zhou Guangtao's appearance, Yan Luoxi couldn't help but sigh inwardly; now, a mere word or look from her could make Zhou Guangtao overly suspicious and anxious.

This man was tall, handsome, gentle, caring, and deeply devoted. There was no one in the world who could be better than him, and she loved him dearly, willing to give up everything for him. Yet he had betrayed her mercilessly.

Yan Luoxi hated him so much!

Seeing Zhou Guangtao's tense and worried demeanor brought about a twisted sense of pleasure in her heart; it seemed that the feeling of mutual torment was so enjoyable after all!

She smiled at Zhou Guangtao, saying, "Oh, she must have recovered. These past two days were too busy due to my mother's matters, and I should actually visit her when she’s ill for the sake of the company and you. She has been working so hard!"

Zhou Guangtao's face turned pale in an instant; as he looked at Yan Luoxi, her gaze directly met his eyes. In embarrassment and panic, Zhou Guangtao quickly shifted his gaze to his wristwatch, "I’m running out of time... I have to leave now!"

Seeing the flustered Zhou Guangtao leaving, Yan Luoxi wanted to burst into laughter but tears streamed down her face faster than any laughter could.

Herd older brother Guangtao should not be like this; how could he possibly look so panicked and disheveled!

Her brother Yanluotuo had always been handsome with arched eyebrows and bright eyes, a prominent nose, seven parts of handsomeness and three parts of firmness. His clothes were always neatly pressed, and his gaze was always resolute.

He was her entire belief and her refuge; how could he look so bewildered

Yan Luoxi covered her face and cried uncontrollably.

While she was crying, the phone next to her rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Li An. Wiping away a few tears, she answered the call.

"Come down now, Miss! Do I have to personally go upstairs to fetch you" Li An's tone was impatient, as if he were a grim reaper in a hurry.

"I have something important today and won't be able to accompany you to watch the show. Is that okay with you" Yan Luoxi negotiated with Li An. She truly didn’t feel like dealing with other people’s affairs now; she couldn’t even tend to her own family grave, let alone those of others.

"Yan Luoxi, did I become more considerate to you recently Do you think you’re the king or some deity that just by ordering me around, I’ll comply! Alright then, if you are indeed my boss and say what I should do, why would I want anything from you at all Now, because you have a good show lined up for you, you start acting high and mighty. You want to know Just one phone call and your mother will be dismissed!" Li An’s hot temper flared up instantly.

"No! Mr. Er, please don’t make my mom lose her job; I’ll come down right away."

Turning from friendliness to fury so quickly—must have been a Monkey!

Knowing she couldn't win against Li An and fearing that he might get even angrier if he had to wait any longer, Yan Luoxi, with her hair disheveled and wearing loose casual clothes, rushed downstairs in haste.

Li An looked at the messy-looking Yan Luoxi sitting next to him with a puzzled expression. His good-looking brows furrowed tightly together, "Yan Luoxi, I know women will beautify themselves for those they like, but even if you don’t fancy me, shouldn't you still take care of your appearance This is too untidy!"

Yan Luoxi blushed and touched her cheeks, saying sheepishly, "I... woke up late and forgot to put on makeup, but I did brush my teeth and wash my face."

Lì n leaned away from him by the car door with a look of disgust, gritting his teeth. "If you hadn’t brushed your teeth or washed your face, I would’ve kicked you out."

"Thank you so much for showing mercy on me," Yan Luoxi smiled ingratiatingly at Lì n and rubbed his cheeks a few times, which felt uncomfortably dry. It seemed the moisturizer had been washed away by her earlier tears.

Lì n looked over at Yan Luoxi; sorrow flashed in his eyes for an instant.

Overnight, this little girl had lost weight and had red-rimmed, swollen eyes that clearly showed she had cried. Her fatigue and worries were written all over her face, and her skin was no longer as fair or smooth as it used to be; instead, it looked like a pearl covered in dust, dull and lifeless.

For a moment, Lì n truly felt sorry for Yan Luoxi. But he quickly remembered how hateful she had been, and asked with ill humor, "Did you eat breakfast"

"I did," Yan Luoxi pursed her dry lips; after sitting up all night and arguing with Zhou Guangtao in the morning, all she’d had was two sips of water—there was no way she could have eaten.

She didn’t want to owe Lì n too much of a favor, so she lied casually. But just as her words were out, her stomach rumbled loudly in protest.

Yan Luoxi’s little face immediately turned tomato red.

Lì n shot her an askance look. "Liar!"

Yan Luoxi bit on her lips and didn’t dare say anything further.

The car was silent inside. Yan Luoxi thought Li An must be angry. When the red light stopped them, Li An suddenly turned around with a frown on his forehead, his eyes deep and piercing as he stared at her.

His brazen gaze had an air of invasion mixed with sympathy, as if looking at a lost young beast: "You fool, why do you have to seek hardship for yourself."

Originally feeling uneasy under Li An's stare, Yan Luoxi widened her eyes in surprise when she heard this. She was drenched in cold sweat and wondered if perhaps Li An knew about Zhou Guangtao’s infidelity!

Liang then rolled his eyes with a hint of mockery: "Are you stupid If you're hungry, just say so! It's not something to be ashamed of. Why endure it"

Yan Luoxi let out a sigh of relief and leaned back in her seat, drained.

She was really afraid that others might know about her relationship with Zhou Guangtao, especially if the other person happened to be Li An.

Liang brought Yan Luoxi to an extremely tranquil club. In the corridor, an English song played softly and soothingly, with a calming effect on the mind.

Seeing the luxurious, fully enclosed private room in front of her, Yan Luoxi felt afraid. She grabbed onto the door handle tightly and refused to step further inside, staring nervously at Li An: "You said you would show me something interesting, but why did you bring me here"

The cheerful smile on Li An's face suddenly vanished as he exuded a chilly aura that made Yan Luoxi shiver.

He rushed to the main hall and fiddled with something for a moment. A large TV screen then displayed another spacious private room, currently empty of people.

"You… You’re going to spy!" Yan Luoxi looked at Li An in disbelief, her eyes wide open.hou Guangtao felt a mix of heartache, guilt, and panic."Luoxi, what’s wrong with you"Yan Luoxi closed her eyes and said, "I...my mom...I feel heartache for my mom..."The answer was already clear; Yan...
