69. Captivating Fragrance that Dismays

dea of calling Xue Liping.He rolled up his sleeves and cleaned the room as quickly as possible. Then, he put Yan Luoxi's dirty clothes in the washing machine, washed them, and hung them to dry. After...Scent of Melancholy Despair - Card 69

Yan Luoxi's blood pressure plummeted from Li An's self-indulgent monologue, causing her head to spin. She was too tired to argue with him and leaned back without even looking up. "Could you please close the door when you leave I'm going to sleep."

Li An put down his chopsticks sullenly, reluctantly standing up. His gaze lowered slightly and he saw Yan Luoxi's long slender neck. His eyes slid gently downward to see a large expanse of smooth white skin under her pajamas, along with the bruises left by him earlier. The sight was incredibly arousing.

He felt like swallowing saliva but seeing Yan Luoxi’s frosty expression, he could only take a deep breath instead. He inhaled the saliva and his lungs suddenly constricted, causing a series of coughs.

After returning to his own room, Li An couldn't sleep; tossing and turning all night long.

Yan Luoxi was now by his side because of him. But seeing her as an unattainable delicacy was even more tormenting than if she were fat and undesirable.

Today he had used force to temporarily possess Yan Luoxi, but now that the girl had grown older and developed opinions of her own, she no longer passively accepted everything. If she continued to resist him, he couldn’t use force every night; otherwise, he might hurt her or himself, which would be counterproductive.

Some people become more determined in face of adversity, and Li An was one such person. He was naturally combative and hadn't encountered any formidable opponents yet. Most importantly, with regards to this little girl named Yan Luoxi, he still had a multitude of methods at his disposal that he hadn’t used. There was no way he would be content with their relationship remaining as it was.

Lian An couldn't sleep, propping himself up on his elbow. He clenched his teeth and thought of countermeasures in the dark space filled with sparks of creativity. Even a mosquito that had wandered in was scared away.

Solutions weren't lacking; it was just that he needed someone to help him.

Who could help, though

Lian An immediately thought of his two mischievous friends but quickly dismissed them. Shao Junhe now openly showed interest in Yan Luoxi—just because he wasn't trying to take her from Lian An didn't mean that he would help him deal with this little troublemaker.

Ming Zixing was even worse. With his loose tongue, within three days, everyone in their social circle would know about this minor issue, making it look like Lian An had sexual dysfunction.

After tossing and turning for a while, Lian An finally decided to call Uncle Xin.

This Uncle Xin was one of his father Lian Haonan's closest friends. At times, he treated Lian An even better than his own father would.

In the phone conversation, when Uncle Xin heard Lian An's request, he exclaimed with surprise: "Little Lian An! What do you need that thing for It only causes trouble and harm to oneself. Please don't get into more trouble. Your mother has been causing a ruckus lately, obsessed with online games, and your father is currently in a bad mood."

The age difference is indeed significant. Their worldviews are different too. Things that Li An and his peers easily accept become as serious to Xin Zhiming as drug-related issues. The big thug, Xin Zhiming, seems to have been greatly shocked by this situation. He starts lecturing Li An, along with criticizing Gu Xiaobei whom he dislikes the most.

"Oh, Uncle Xin, I know my limits. Just a few friends want to come and play. If drugs are needed, I can provide them too, but their effects are too intense; those things will cause trouble. The sedative perfume that I need is not as potent."

Li An is the most playful in front of Uncle Xin. He pleads: "Uncle Xin, I've already boasted to my friends about the imported sedative perfume and how good it is. If you don't get it for me, I'll really lose face."

Xin Zhiming has no children and has always loved Li An dearly. Upon hearing his plea, he immediately agrees and asks gruffly: "When do you want it"

"Of course the sooner the better. Ideally, someone should deliver it in the morning."

Li An is not being greedy; he's just too anxious. He wishes to hold Yan Luoxi in his arms right now and watch her submit to him.

"You brat, be careful. If something goes wrong, I'll end up suffering along with you... Your father will take me down as well..." Xin Zhiming acts like he's giving Li An a solemn lecture but doesn't delay in action; he promises firmly that the sedative perfume will definitely arrive tomorrow morning.

Li An humbly nods in agreement, his lips curling into an evil smile.

The next morning, Li An personally invites Yan Luoxi to another room across from him. This room is exceptionally beautiful with luxurious decor, a wide floral bedspread in the British style, and a carved white large bed. A comfortable, elegant lady's chair sits by the floor-to-ceiling window where a bouquet of blooming white roses rests on a tablecloth of light purple, making it look particularly noble and refined.

Looking at this bright and spacious room, Yan Luoxi feels as if she has stepped into heaven compared to her previous cramped and dark room. She can't help but take deep breaths of the fresh air.

The brain received more oxygen, and alertness quickly returned. Yan Luoxi looked at Li An’s fawning smile and couldn’t help but feel suspicious. She firmly believed there was a sinister motive behind this scoundrel's decision to have her stay here.

Alerted by her suspicions, Yan Luoxi settled into living in the room. Li An replaced her gold chain once again. However, with the larger space of the new room, the length of the chain was extended as well. Holding this heavy golden chain, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but be sarcastic and said, "You’re really kind to me. I only slept with you for one night, and now you’ve given me so much compensation."

Upon seeing Yan Luoxi clutching the chain, Li An’s heart skipped a beat, instinctively thinking she was going to choke him. He quickly hobbled backwards, secretly hoping that Uncle Xin had delivered the perfume.

"Luoxi, you can rest assured in this room. What happened yesterday was just a moment of impulse and foolishness on my part. Don’t worry; I won’t ever force myself upon you again."

Li An masked his eyes that flickered with something else, looking at Yan Luoxi seriously. The corner of his mouth curled slightly in a way that seemed mischievous or even demonic.

The serious expression Li An put on was an irresistible charm for women, leaving them helpless to argue back. Yan Luoxi was no exception.

Wearily, Yan Luoxi turned her head away, not wanting to look at Li An nor listen to his sweet talk. She simply stared out the window instead.

The view outside the window was lush and green, filled with rare flowers that she had never seen before. Under a gardener’s meticulous care, they competed to bloom in splendid colors.

Yan Luoxi insisted on changing rooms for one with a window because once there was a window, it meant she could communicate with the outside world. Even though Li An cleverly installed anti-theft windows on the balcony doors, at least this way was better than being trapped somewhere dark and hopeless. took a deep breath. From the rearview mirror, she saw He Yufan getting into Zhou Guangtao's car and sitting in the front passenger seat. Zhou Guangtao quickly drove off.She squinted her eyes and stee...
