Lì n carefully kissed Yán Luòxī, cursing himself inwardly for his weakness. This little devil tormented him in various ways, yet he couldn't extricate himself from her.

Yán Luòxī slept until the next morning. When she opened her eyes, sunlight streamed into the room; dewdrops still clung to the flowers on the table, marking another day's start.

She looked a bit bewildered and sat up after a moment with a dazed expression.

Lì n, who had been guarding Yán Luòxī by her side, clearly felt that the effects of the drug were wearing off but still affecting her health. He was tense and worried as he watched her; sitting beside the bed, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and asked with concern, "Luòxī, do you feel unwell anywhere"

"I'm hungry... thirsty..." Yán Luòxī said hoarsely. Her body had been severely depleted after a day and night without food; she was now craving something to eat.

"Alright, I'll have someone prepare it right away," Lì n felt somewhat relieved when he saw that Yán Luòxī didn't seem inclined to strike him.

Dragging the golden chain, Yán Luòxī went to wash up. When she returned, a table by the window was already laden with various sumptuous dishes, their aromas tempting.

Lì n wore a snow-white t-shirt and light blue jeans; his extraordinarily handsome face bore a gentle smile as he stood in the sunlight, looking like an energetic young man full of life.

Yan Luoxi looked at him, thinking of the nasty perfume he had used on her before and couldn't help but tremble.

Over these years, no matter how outstanding Li An's appearance was or how enchanting Wen Qing's charm was, Yan Luoxi always felt a deep-seated fear and aversion towards him, as if she were entangled by a venomous snake that might bite her at any time.

In fact, what he had done matched her feelings exactly.

Yan Luoxi didn't want Li An to see her fear and forced herself to muster up some courage. She clenched her fists tightly, almost piercing her palms with her nails, and walked towards the dining table step by step with a blank expression.

Seeing Yan Luoxi dragging chains as she came over, making 'clank clank' sounds, Li An, who felt guilty in his heart, tried to make himself look like an upright gentleman. He gave her a dazzling smile, "Luoxi, come and have your meal quickly!"

Yan Luoxi now lacked the strength and spirit to糾纏with him any further, so she sat down silently and started eating.

"How is it Do you like the food I hired a chef from a five-star hotel!" Li An smiled with his mouth, his clear voice filled with perceptible warmth. His considerate demeanor was completely that of an attentive boyfriend or husband.

Yan Luoxi ignored what Li An said and just focused on eating her meal.

Li An didn't get annoyed; instead, he carefully observed which dishes Yan Luoxi liked to eat. Whenever she ate a few more bites of something, he stopped eating it himself and left it all for her. His handsome, mischievous face showed signs of tenderness.

With Lan An's proactive attitude, Yan Luoxi's tense and agitated mood eased somewhat. While eating, she thought about how to bring up the topic of money with Lan An.

She turned her eyes around for a moment before deciding to establish dominance over Lan An.

Halfway through her meal, Yan Luoxi took a sip of juice and then said bluntly, "Remember to tell the kitchen not to use cilantro in the dishes; I don't eat cilantro. Also, I like these shrimp; ask the kitchen to make them again tonight."

Lan An looked at Yan Luoxi with surprise as she suddenly acted like a domineering lady of the house. Could it be that she had been affected by the perfume

Seeing Lan An looking at her in an analytical manner, seemingly pondering over something, Yan Luoxi gritted her teeth and decided to come out straight with him: "Lan An, do you plan on chaining me up all the time to prevent my escape, using perfumes to control me so that it’s convenient for you to satisfy your desires"

She was sick of Lan An and didn't bother trying to understand his true intentions. She rarely considered how her actions would affect him; whatever she thought about, she expressed in the most direct way possible.

Lan An was stung by her hurtful words and slammed down his chopsticks, growling lowly, "Why do you speak so rudely! Do you think of yourself as a tool for my biological urges"

Since she had such a low opinion of herself, he didn't see the need to maintain decorum.

Yan Luoxi also put down her chopsticks and took another slow sip of juice. The golden shackles on her wrist shimmered in the sunlight—wasn’t it obvious enough what she was

Seeing Lian's aggrieved and angry expression, she finally understood something: under unequal circumstances, communication with Lian would always be impossible. She didn’t want to take on the role of his future wife who had to deal with this capricious husband. This time, she adopted a straightforward approach and asked bluntly, “Well then, are you going to let me go or not”

Lian felt as if everything he ate was stuck in his chest. He knew he was in the wrong, so after taking a deep breath, he shouted stubbornly, "No, I definitely won’t let you leave! Get it through your head!"

"If you don't want to release me, that's fine too." Yan Luoxi had anticipated his response and already had her plans in place. She sat up straight and started verbally sparring with Lian: "Then if you won’t let me go and illegally detain me here, I have conditions..."

A sudden alarm went off in Lian’s mind; he knew this little girl wouldn’t back down easily. Her silence after waking up was a sign of her planning for the future, showing that she had learned to counterattack. Watching Yan Luoxi warily, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are your conditions"

As long as it wasn't leaving him or sharing a wife with Zhou Guangtao, any other condition… He was basically willing to accept them.

Yan Luoxi kept her voice calm and said simply, "I want money, houses, cars, jewelry..."

Lian hadn’t expected Yan Luoxi to say this; he paused for a moment before laughing. "Why do you need all of that"

In his mind, as long as Yan Luoxi agreed to be with him and they got married, those things would naturally become hers because their family wasn't short on money or property. His mother Gu Xianbei had been out of touch with the concept of wealth for years.

Since Lian was also disconnected from the idea of wealth, he considered Yan Luoxi's demands to be foolish and laughable; even a promise would be more useful than these material things., Xue Liping remained calm as if nothing had happened. She calmly said, "I’ve told you before, men are like this. As long as you firmly grasp the economic power, that’s the most crucial."In fact, Xue...
