For a whole night, Zhou Guangtao kept watch downstairs at Li An's house. There was still no sound from inside the house and he did not see Li An return.

He gave up on waiting for Li An to appear like a hare out of a hollow tree stump and went home to quickly tidy himself up. He had a pile of work waiting at the company, so he needed to complete his urgent tasks before taking time off to focus on searching for Yan Luoxi.

Zhou Guangtao arrived at the office and swiftly handled his immediate duties. Throughout this period, he called Yan Luoxi's mobile phone and home landline countless times; even though each call went unanswered, he could not help but dial again and again.

He also sought out acquaintances to indirectly inquire about Li An’s whereabouts at the ANRY International Group Company. The senior management there uniformly stated that: President Li was seriously injured in his leg and was recuperating at a convalescent home elsewhere.

Hearing this response, Zhou Guangtao became even more certain that it was Li An who had taken Yan Luoxi away. He just didn't know whether Yan Luoxi had willingly gone with him or not.

In the afternoon, Zhou Guangtao couldn’t hold back any longer and reported the case to the police, emphasizing that the suspect was President Li An of ANRY International Group Company.

The officer meticulously recorded this report and then instructed Zhou Guangtao to return home and wait for further news.

Somehow, Zhou Guangtao always felt that he couldn't rely on these police officers. That afternoon at work, when he sat down at his desk intending to handle company matters, the image of Yan Luoxi flooded his mind again. Even though he originally planned to work, his thoughts became increasingly chaotic.

Zhou Guangtao knew his own problem. He乾脆 submitted a leave request to the company and went all out to find Yan Luoxi.

The suddenness of him wanting to take leave caused displeasure in the vice president of the headquarters. This was because Zhou Guangtao had only recently taken over as the head of this district, and many things were gradually being handed over to him. His indefinite leave would have a negative impact on the company.

Zhou Guangtao no longer cared about anything else now. He quickly left the company and once again began searching for Yan Luoxi.

Three days is actually very short, seventy-two hours, four thousand three hundred and twenty minutes. But Zhou Guangtao was constantly anxious, worried, rushing around, and looking for her from dawn till dusk without sleep.

In these two days, he had visited nearby nursing homes but found no trace of Yan Luoxi. From lack of sleep over a long period, Zhou Guangtao felt as if his head would explode; it buzzed non-stop.

After several nights without rest in the search for her, Zhou Guangtao was very tired. He parked his car downstairs in his neighborhood and fell asleep right on the steering wheel before even getting out of the car.

In his dream, Yan Luoxi returned home. She stood there smiling at him... she leaned against him on the sofa watching TV... she held his hand and walked slowly through the garden...

Zhou Guangtao didn't enjoy this beautiful dream for long as he was startled awake by a car horn nearby. He looked up at his apartment window upstairs in a daze.

These two days, he had done such actions countless times. If only the light at home were on... It would be wonderful if Yan Luoxi had already come back, hiding from him or sulking like playing hide-and-seek...

Zhou Guangtao walked upstairs with heavy steps. Looking at the cold, empty room and the neatly arranged everything, a huge feeling of sadness and loss filled his heart. Thinking about the sweetness in the dream just now, he was actually stunned and shed tears...

Falling. My dearest girl, where are you now

Yan Luoxi moved quickly. As soon as she heard that Li An agreed to her conditions, she asked for paper and pen to write down her prices: holding hands once, one thousand yuan; a light kiss, two thousand yuan; a deep kiss, three thousand yuan; sleeping together, five thousand yuan (normal type); if there's any deviant behavior, eight thousand yuan...

Li An looked at Yan Luoxi’s draft of the unequal treaty and couldn't help but sigh in admiration. "You’re truly talented. This is a masterpiece."

Yan Luoxi coldly snorted as she watched Li An without restraint.

But when she got excited, she forgot about Li An's malicious nature; the next sentence he said almost made her vomit blood with anger. "You can be a stock god now. You actually sold yourself at such a high price."

The serious expression on Yan Luoxi’s face turned red instantly. She knew that she had been asking for too much, but she didn't want to easily let Li An tear off her facade. Her small face became stern once again as she bravely straightened up her waist. "It's none of your business what price I ask. Just tell me if you agree or not."

Li An watched Yan Luoxi’s ever-changing expressions and found the game more amusing. "Agree How could I disagree" He looked down at Yan Luoxi with a superior expression, slightly smiling. "I’m going to see what kind of skills you have that allow you to demand such high prices."

Yan Luoxi was originally pretending tough but actually weak and exhausted from her pretense; after being ridiculed by Li An like this, tears welled up in her eyes from委屈憋屈. But looking at the smug face of Li An, if she cried now, it would seem to be exactly what he wanted. She felt ashamed and angry, sniffed a couple of times, but surprisingly no more tears came out.

Lǐ'ān smacked his lips and continued to speak sarcastically, not satisfied yet. "Yán Luòxī, Yán Luòxī, I really didn’t expect you to be so candid about proposing such a realistic idea that fits our current relationship. It’s truly creative. Why did I never notice this before You’re truly talented."

Ever since Yán Luòxī had proposed these terms to Lǐ'ān, she had harbored immense shame in her heart. Now, as she listened to his biting remarks, waves of emotion churned within her. If it weren’t for dire necessity, she would never have resorted to such an embarrassing act.

Although Lǐ'ān’s mouth was sharp and he didn’t seem willing at first, his approval of the matter was evident in his actions. He quickly went downstairs and soon returned, breathing heavily while leaning on a cane, clutching two thick stacks of RMB that looked heavy.

Yán Luòxī watched as Lǐ'ān stood there like a one-legged chicken, looking rather pitiful due to the weight of the money. She wondered how he managed not to slip and break his other leg on the stairs.

Lǐ'ān threw the twenty thousand RMB cash onto the ground and said condescendingly, "Little girl, do your math. How many times can this master kiss you and sleep with you Oh right, I demand that every other night you work a double shift for me, and every three nights, I’ll indulge my twisted desires."

Go to hell.

Yán Luòxī picked up the two bundles of money from the ground, raised her hand as if she wanted to hit Lǐ'ān on the head with them. But as soon as she saw him raise his eyebrows and stare at her with a fierce look in his eyes, she hesitated. "Little brat, dare you Remember, these conditions were your own proposal."

Yán Luòxī, without backbone, swallowed hard, feeling utterly disheartened. With money accepted, one must fulfill the obligations that come with it. Now that Lǐ'ān had brought the money over, she was supposed to obediently become his villa lover.e hated himself for being so clever for the first time in his life.He had been busy with his own matters, only to be absent at the critical moment. Thinking about where Yán Luòxī might have gone made...
