The person Li An was absolutely stunning. Among the country's more than a billion people, it would be hard to find someone more handsome than him. However, this man seemed to exude an inherently sinister aura that made one feel uneasy just by looking at him.

Ni Xuanyi looked uneasily towards where Li Yi had gone in hope of his swift return; she really did not want to be left alone with the sly and sneaky Li An.

Li Yi was also cold and aloof, exuding an aura that made one feel distant from him. However, it felt different compared to how Li An made people feel. The former seemed unapproachable yet authoritative, inspiring awe; while the latter was like a devil, full of seductive charm, unpredictable and fearsome.

Seeing Ni Xuanyi's nervous demeanor, Li An’s beautiful face suddenly looked incredibly crestfallen. "Are you afraid of me Just tell me honestly. Is it that girls your age would hate me on sight"

Ni Xuanyi did not know what Li Yi was talking about and got even more anxious, shaking her head repeatedly. "No, no. There are so many people who like you for being so amazing; how could they possibly dislike you"

Li An seemed to find the conversation amusing, laughing alone at his own joke. This made Ni Xuanyi even more fearful. Fortunately, she saw Li Yi turning from a corridor and if he had not appeared when he did, she would have run away.

"Brother, you didn’t go out today" Li Yi looked at his younger brother with eyes full of amusement.

Li An saw his elder brother coming over, immediately laughing genuinely. He seemed to be a different person and pointed towards Ni Xuanyi. "Brother, she’s your little benefactor. I couldn’t have imagined that such a young girl could dare to sneak into the Golden Triangle in the middle of the night and save you."

Ni Xuanyi watched in shock as Li An's expression changed. She thought to herself, This man is too scary. He must be the one who fits the description of someone with a double face.

"Yes," Li Yi sat between Ni Xuanyi and Li An. "So I need to thank her properly for coming here to study. I have to repay her."

After hearing these words, all the warmth Ni Xuanyi had felt towards Li Yi since she met him vanished.

It turned out that every good thing Li Yi did for her was merely a repayment of gratitude, without any personal affection at all.

"Xuanxuan's school is closed for five days. I invited Xuanxuan to stay at my house during these five days. Li An, you mustn't cause trouble," Li Yi warned his younger brother with a smile. More chapters available on [the original platform].

"You can rest assured. I'll take good care of her." Li An patted his chest and promised his elder brother. "Brother, your work is busy. Go ahead and do what you need to. Leave her at home. I will take her out to play and look after her well."

Ni Xuanyi closed her eyes briefly and tried to clear her mind. Then she said weakly: "Big Brother Li Yi, thank you for inviting me over. It's already great that I get to see it. I don't plan on staying here. Please ask the driver to take me back later. Thank you."

Li Yi was perceptive and immediately noticed Ni Xuanyi’s change in mood. However, his straightforward nature didn’t lead him to think that she might have feelings for him; he thought instead that she must not like Li An.

He knew what kind of person his younger brother was—he could easily be detested if he wanted to. Perhaps this troublemaker had said something unpleasant when he wasn't around. He couldn’t help but turn and look at Li An meaningfully.

Lǐ'ān immediately acted very innocently, shrugging his hands towards him.

"Xuānxuān, what's wrong Are you unhappy" Lìyì looked at Ní Xuānyī, speaking in the gentlest tone to comfort her. "Did I say something wrong or do something wrong"

Ní Xuānyī felt as if a pot was boiling inside her. She couldn't bear such a considerate Lǐyì. Who did she think she was to get angry Everything Lìyì said was the truth. How could he possibly know her thoughts Clearly, it was one-sided love on her part. He wasn’t like a young boy who would fall in love at first sight with someone.

Next to them, Lǐ'ān also spoke casually, "What’s wrong, Xuānxuān Was I the one who upset you just now I was only being considerate when I said that. I was worried Big Brother might be too busy to accompany you at home and you would feel lonely. If you find me a nuisance or don't want to see me...I can leave. There are maids and cooks here, so there's no need for you to go hungry…"

"No, it's not like that..." Ní Xuānyī shook her head repeatedly.

"Ah, if it’s not the case then it’s good. So you’re not angry with Big Brother or me Then that means you agree to stay here." Lǐ'ān unilaterally made this decision: "Aunt Guì, have you finished preparing the guest room like I asked earlier Show this lady around and let her clean up before resting."

Ní Xuānyī was at a loss with Lǐ'ān's domineering attitude.

Without paying attention to Lǐ'ān, Lìyì lowered his head again and asked for Ní Xuānyī’s opinion. "Xuānxuān, would you consider staying here for a few days" He anxiously awaited her response. His eyes were bright and the way he looked at her was like warm sunshine.

So attached to this warmth, this man—against all reason, Ní Xuānyī nodded her head.

Liyi is very busy. Even at home, he still receives constant phone calls and faxes. When Ni Xuanyi walked out of the guest room, she saw Liyi go into the study to receive a fax. Li An was sitting on the sofa watching TV with a remote in hand.

She felt somewhat afraid of Li An. Just as she wanted to turn around and go back to the guest room, Li An waved his hand at her. "Come sit down. Otherwise, when my brother comes out, he will think I am bullying you."

Ni Xuanyi was unhappy but nodded her head, slowly walking over to Li An. There are many times in life that are truly helpless.

Li An glanced at Ni Xuanyi’s helplessness and clenched his teeth as he secretly laughed. He loved nothing more than building his happiness on someone else's pain the most.

Especially when faced with this little girl, it reminded him of that idiot who had run away secretly. He didn’t care about right or wrong; he vented all his anger towards that person onto Ni Xuanyi. But since his big brother was at home now, he couldn't show it.

Liyi came out from the study and saw Li An sitting on the sofa with Ni Xuanyi watching TV together, which made him very relieved. "Lian, there’s an important client just landed in from overseas, I need to go entertain them. Dinner you eat with Xuanxuan."

"Alright, big brother, you can rest assured and leave. I will definitely take good care of her." As soon as Li An heard his brother was leaving, he smiled broadly.

“Lian, I’m your elder brother, so I know very well what kind of person you are. You must not play tricks on me.” Liyi's expression turned serious and gave a solemn warning.

"How could that be Xuanxuan is my big brother’s benefactor; she is also my benefactor. I will definitely treat her well." Li An promised very seriously.icked it, causing the pus to flow out—a sight too revolting to bear.Because she thought this matter was too filthy, she didn't dare tell anyone about it. She believed that by leaving the Li family and...
