Ni Xuanyi's forcibly restrained tears finally fell suddenly. Only she knew how much she wanted to see Li Yi once more, even if it was just for a glimpse.

However, their fate had long been exhausted. If Li Yi truly loved her or missed her in any way, he would have come to see her already.

Love itself could not change anything; no matter how much one loves, nothing could be altered, neither situations nor people, only shattering one's own heart.

She was now another man’s fiancée and had run to the dangerous edge of a primitive forest to save Li Yi's brother—she had already disgraced herself enough. To wait here for him would mean having no dignity left at all.

Ni Xuanyi, who grew up in the Golden Triangle region, was stubborn and resolute; she would rather suffer her wounds silently for a lifetime than abandon her pride.

Li Yi, I once silently loved you without hope. Suffering from shyness and jealousy alike, I had loved you sincerely and tenderly. May God protect you and let someone else love you as I did...

Ni Xuanyi bit her lip and struggled to control the sobbing in her voice, "Li An, after you return home, take good care of yourself. If possible, find that person and live without regrets." After saying this, she walked out of Li An's room without looking back.

Even though Li An was used to living life freely and didn't place much value on women’s feelings, at this moment seeing Ni Xuanyi like this made him feel deeply pained and regretful.

Not long after Ni Xuanyi left, Li Haonan, Gu Xiaobei, and Li Yi arrived. With bloodshot eyes, Li Haonan saw Li An lying on the ground and suddenly raised his large hand out of anger.

"What are you going to do Don't you see how your son is" Gu Xiaobei quickly stood in front of Li An.

Enraged Li Haonan could only無力地放下胳膊，看著厲安咬牙切齒地說：“這個孩子就是被嬌縱慣了，纔敢這麼大膽，偷偷跑到金三角惹事！”

"Can you blame the child for this If you had been law-abiding, would he have come to such a place back then" Gu Xiaobei, with red eyes from pity as she touched Li An's pale and thin face, said in an annoyed tone: "If I were to blame anyone, it would be yourself, because you corrupted the child. But also me, if only I had married someone who was law-abiding…"

Li Yi knew that his father feared nothing more than being told by his mother that she regretted marrying him. Seeing his father's face turn pale, he quickly changed the subject, "Lian, do you know who found and saved you"

Gu Xiaobei immediately stopped blaming Li Haonan as her thoughts followed her eldest son’s lead, “Right! Youngest son, who was it that rescued you”

Li Haonan looked at Gu Xiaobei's back, feeling both angry and affectionate, and he let out a sigh of relief. After all, his eldest son is still sharp-witted.

Li An thoughtfully glanced at Li Yi and slowly said, “Ni Xuanyi.”

The mention of these three words was like an immobilizing spell; the agile and intelligent Li Yi suddenly froze, stiff as a wooden statue.

"NXY" Gu Xiaobei couldn't help but frown, turning to look at Li Yi. "Isn’t she the little girl who acted as a guide for her grandfather and you in the Golden Triangle a few years ago She also came over to our place many times as a guest."

At this moment, Li Yi was lost in his own world, furrowing his brows as if deep in thought. He didn’t receive Mom’s surprised and delighted gaze.

"Mom, she's the one who saved me," Li An hurriedly answered on behalf of his older brother.

“Then where is she” Gu Xiaobei turned around excitedly to look for her, as if this had snapped Li Yi out of his reverie; he also stupidly turned his head to scan the surroundings.

"She’s gone. She left before you came," Li An answered sadly.

Li Yi, who was usually unexpressive, now wore a look of profound disappointment on his face.

"How could she have left She is the savior of my son; I haven’t even had a chance to thank her!" Gu Xiaobei turned toward Li Haonan with an unhappy pout.

Her god immediately alleviated all her worries, "Don’t worry. As long as you want to see her, I can find her anytime."

Over the years, Li Haonan had spoiled Gu Xiaobei rottenly, going out of his way to satisfy every single one of her whims and solve any problems she faced in life.

"This NXY is truly a blessing for our family. She helped my eldest son and now saved my youngest one. I must find her and personally thank her," Gu Xiaobei said resolutely.

"Alright, we must properly thank her." Li Haonan immediately complied with his wife's suggestion and then asked for her opinion in a consultative tone: "Xiaobei, what do you think Should we take Li An back first, get him checked up at a proper hospital, and head home since everyone is waiting for us at the villa We don't want them to worry."

"Alright, let's take Li An away right now." Gu Xiaobei gave her husband some face by reluctantly approving his proposal.

Looking at their parents who were in agreement with each other, Li An couldn't help but feel a wave of envy. If he hadn't separated from Yan Luoxi... At the thought of her, he felt a sudden sense of melancholy.

The Li family had their own territory in the Golden Triangle and a luxurious villa where many people had already gathered—Chen Jiaqiang's family, Chen Shuang's family, Ruan Wenzheng's family, Wu Chuang's family, Wen Yimo, Ming Zixi, Xian Zhiming... basically all of Li Haonan’s relatives and friends who were close to them. They had come here waiting for Li Haonan and his wife to bring Li An back.

The moment they saw Li An return, Shao Meizhuo was the first to rush over, regardless of everything else, hugging Li An and crying. Li An's wound on his arm got hit by her careless actions, causing him to grimace in pain.

Earlier, Chen Shuang had heard from Gu Xiaobei’s phone call that Li An was shot in the arm; seeing Li An's pale face, she knew her daughter must have bumped into his wound and quickly stepped forward to pull her daughter away.

"You child, you don't know your own strength! You hit his wounded arm. Quickly let go of Li An!" With a daughter like this—stubborn and never considering others—it was no wonder she couldn’t earn Li An's love.

Shao Meizhuo felt somewhat aggrieved as her mother pulled her away from Li An, while another group of people surrounded him, asking endless questions out of concern.

Lian already felt physically weak and dizzy; now with all the commotion caused by these people, he became even more disoriented. He helplessly rolled his eyes, causing Ming Zixi to quickly shout: "Everyone should back off, let him breathe some fresh air."edside the whole time. It was her first time seeing him sleep; curled into a ball with his head buried in the pillow, lacking his usual sharpness and vigor, making him look innocent like a child.Her h...
