Luo An ran through the red lights and arrived not long after Yan Luoxi. As soon as he reached the vicinity of B University, he saw Yan Luoxi jump out from a taxi that had just stopped in front of him, heading straight for a man.
He watched helplessly as Yan Luoxi embraced the man; from his vantage point, the man appeared tall and imposing while Yan Luoxi seemed petite and delicate. It was truly an ideal match, as if they were meant to be together.
The man embracing Yan Luoxi in such a close manner, dressed impeccably with sharp features, Luo An recognized him – Zhou Guangtao, his archrival. Looking at Zhou Guangtao now, Luo An couldn't help but sneer; the passage of time had honed Zhou Guangtao into an even more accomplished figure.
From where he was seated in the car, Luo An could see most of Yan Luoxi's profile. She leaned against Zhou Guangtao, her long and curved eyelashes fluttering gently like fans as she chatted, looking like a fairy fallen from heaven. Beneath those lashes were sparkling, dewy eyes that twinkled with mischief while gazing at Zhou Guangtao.
Seeing this side of Yan Luoxi made Luo An's heart tremble painfully; he noticed that today's Yan Luoxi was different from the usual her. With Zhou Guangtao, she wore a bright smile, like the dawn sun, radiant and splendid.
Fury caused Luo An to nearly stop breathing – so this is how she could smile! This is how she could charm men; he gripped the steering wheel tightly, feeling suffocated inside. He had never seen her smile at him in such a way before, only wary and uneasy looks filled with resistance.
Zhou Guangtao was the one who could make Yan Luoxi genuinely smile!
How did Zhou Guangtao become Yan Luoxi's boyfriend When did they start communicating again Two years ago when he was looking for her, he had even investigated him; at that time, Zhou Guangtao was abroad with no connection to Yan Luoxi whatsoever!
Lian sat in the enclosed carriage, feeling like he was trapped at the center of a huge net, surrounded from all sides.
Seeing Zhou Guangtao kissing Yan Luoxi while looking down, it felt as if a blinding white light hit Lian straight on, making him unable to open his eyes and causing him an agonizing pain deep in his chest.
Lian rarely experienced true defeat or disappointment from childhood. With a comfortable family background and outstanding appearance, he could easily possess everything he wanted, so whenever he desired something, he naturally believed it was his right to have it, let alone Yan Luoxi whom he had been scheming to get close to.
Lian's anger slowly rose, accompanied by an unwilling-to-acknowledge hurt. He couldn't just stand idly by anymore; he pushed the car door open and got out of the vehicle.
Yan Luoxi turned around and saw Lian standing beside the car with a pale face. She felt a chill run down her spine, her body stiffening up in response to Lian's sinister gaze that seemed almost excitedly eager, as if waiting to strip her bare.
She wasn't as afraid of Lian anymore, but she was terrified he would hurt Zhou Guangtao.
"What’s wrong" Zhou Guangtao clearly sensed the change in Yan Luoxi and followed her gaze, immediately noticing a dangerously intense-looking man standing by the car.
"It's Lian!" The smile on Zhou Guangtao's lips froze.
Yan Luoxi knew of Lian’s hatred towards Zhou Guangtao as well as Zhou Guangtao's disdain for Lian. She nudged Zhou Guangtao, saying, "You wait at the front of the square, I’ll go talk to him."
"No." Zhou Guangtao's sharp gaze looked at Li An, who was sneering at him; his dark eyes narrowed slightly. "If there’s something to say, I’ll go with you."
Yan Luoxi clung tightly to Zhou Guangtao, fearing he might rush over. She tried to calm him down and said, "He didn’t come for a big issue; if you go over there, things will escalate."
"Why is he finding you again Is he still bullying you" Zhou Guangtao was not intimidated by Li An’s sinister demeanor. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
Yan Luoxi subconsciously glanced at Li An once more. She noticed that Li An, who had seemed seething with anger just moments ago, now had a corner of his mouth raised in a smile directed at her and Zhou Guangtao; Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but shiver slightly.
She knew this version of Li An was the most terrifying—when he decided to act, he could be lethal. She knew Zhou Guangtao stood no chance against him. Desperate, she nearly broke into tears as she pushed Zhou Guangtao away and pleaded with him: "Please, stay ahead and wait for me. This is something between us—I’ll handle it myself."
Zhou Guangtao was worried about Yan Luoxi but didn’t want to put her in a difficult position either. He pursed his lips inwardly, narrowed his eyes again, and looked at Yan Luoxi helplessly. "I’ll wait for you up ahead. If anything happens, call me immediately."
Yan Luoxi watched Zhou Guangtao walk away before slowly approaching Li An. She asked softly, "Mr. Li, what do you want with me"
Li An’s eyes narrowed slightly as he frowned at her and asked, “How are you addressing me”
"L… Mr. Li!" Yan Luoxi blinked, staring at Li An in confusion. She didn’t know what she had done to offend him again but noticed a hint of hatred in the way he was looking at her, which made her feel inexplicably suffocated.
Mr. Li! Mr. Li!
Lian felt a strange irony and stared intensely at Yan Luoxi as if he could see through her, "Since your boyfriend has returned, I've become your Mr. Li"
The most detestable thing for Yan Luoxi was Lian's sarcastic way of speaking, as if they had such a close relationship before. Thinking about what happened today, she grew so angry that her courage rose, and she said coldly, "Starting tomorrow, I will resign from Ainer Tech, and you won't even be my Mr. Li."
Lian looked at her with an ambiguous smile, "Why do you want to resign Do you plan to elope with the man surnamed Zhou"
"Why are your words so unpleasant" Yan Luoxi rolled her eyes at him.
Lian raised his eyebrows aggressively and said harshly, "If you're not planning to elope, why do you urgently want to resign"
Yan Luoxi knew that Lian was becoming difficult again, so she tried to get away from him quickly and softened her voice, "Second Brother, what is it He's waiting for me!"
Lian smiled with narrowed eyes: "Of course I know he’s waiting for you. But first, tell me, who is he to you And who am I to you" His eyes were somewhat like his father's—slightly upturned and sharp as a phoenix eye; when he smiled this way, there was an unusual charm that was captivating.
Yan Luoxi did not want to argue with him anymore and answered straightforwardly, "He is my boyfriend. You are my boss."y sea.Had she made a mistake Was her choice wrongPerhaps it was indeed wrong. Lian and she were from different worlds; she loved his tenderness, handsomeness, thoughtfulness, even his occasional child...
