Upon hearing Yan Luoxi's words, Li Yi felt completely relieved. His eyes gleamed with a bright and radiant light as he said, "Luoxi, you really are an understanding and well-behaved child. No wonder my parents have liked you since childhood. You truly seem destined to be part of the Li family. Well then, in this case, it’s not a waste of how much my parents care for you. Since you’ve become husband and wife with Li An in name only, why don’t we set a date for your engagement"
He was preoccupied with his father who could appear at any moment like an ominous deity from the sky, so he dealt with the situation rather abruptly.
"What! Me and Li An getting engaged" Yan Luoxi felt somewhat dumbfounded. What’s going on Wasn't I supposed to be saved from this nightmare
Li Yi thought that this little girl was impatient with how slowly things were progressing, so he made a hasty suggestion: "An engagement is quite troublesome, why don’t you two just get married right away then After all, Li An isn't young anymore and you've already graduated from university. You're at the age when people usually get married!"
"Brother, I...I'm only twenty-two..." Yan Luoxi reminded him carefully, not wanting to argue too much with Li Yi. She hoped that her wise brother would realize his mistake and pull back before it was too late.
This shrewd man naturally picked up on the reluctance in Yan Luoxi's words; if she truly wanted this, there wouldn't have been such a dramatic effort from Li An to bend over backwards just for them to be engaged. He knew exactly how capable his younger brother was.
Right now, he was so anxious that he didn't even care whether Yan Luoxi agreed or not; all he wanted was to quickly arrange her engagement and marriage with Li An as soon as possible.
Slightly smiling, Li Yi said: "Luoxi, in a moment, my parents will come over here to take charge of the business. I'll mention your situation to them, then go over and greet them yourselves. Once they agree, you can have whatever you want; choose the date for your wedding yourselves..."
Tall, you truly live up to being the eldest brother; you really have the guts!
In the room, Li An privately cheered for his brother. The little missy whom he had been struggling to deal with was left dumbfounded by his brother's few words. Now it is clear that experience trumps youth!
Yan Luoxi stared wide-eyed, truly witnessing legendary decisiveness and ruthlessness. Within less than a minute, she found herself betrothed to Li Yan by Li Yi. At this rate, before the sun sets, they would be paying their respects as newlyweds and entering their nuptial chamber!
Big brother Li Yi, your reputation as the Lord of Hell in business is indeed not an exaggeration, but don't use me, a weak woman, as a pawn.
In the past, Yan Luoxi had always highly respected Li Yi. Whatever he said or did, she would carry out without hesitation and without any discounts. However, when it came to her own fate and livelihood, she could not afford to be vague about it.
She straightened herself up, mustered some courage, and spoke with utmost seriousness: "Big brother Li Yi, you seem to have misunderstood me. I've never thought of marrying Li An."
This person, Li Yi, was adept at reading people's expressions and sentiments. Seeing Yan Luoxi's expression change after he stated his opinion, he felt that things were going awry and that he might not be able to control her.
After hearing her solemn declaration, his certainty weakened somewhat.
This answer from Yan Luoxi made the usually composed Li Yi increasingly anxious. Her response was within the bounds of what he had expected; a man who had seen much of business’s strange and unpredictable waves should not be unsettled by it.
Anything that doesn't concern oneself can be dealt with lightly and set aside.
But now, this matter is closely related to him. What makes Li Yi even more頭疼is: one, Dad and Mom are arriving soon, leaving little time; two, Yan Luoxi's firm opposition cannot be easily resolved with a few words; three, the relationship between this little girl and his family is special, making it inappropriate to use any extraordinary methods; four, since he has already confronted her, if persuasion fails, he must let her leave, but will his reckless younger brother allow her to go
Li Yi leaned against the back of the sofa, still maintaining a calm and mild demeanor. Only he himself knew the torment he endured during this period.
The policy of being lenient had been used up, and attempting to deceive his way through was no longer viable. Li Yi, who went to great lengths for his younger brother, could only reluctantly make a heartfelt declaration: "Luoxi, although Lian is overbearing and arrogant, what he did to you was wrong. However, I am his elder brother, and I know that he truly likes you."
"Luoxi, you also know how self-important Lian is, but for your sake, he has already admitted his mistakes. He said he will be better to you from now on; he will try his best to make up for the harm he caused you..."
Yan Luoxi shook her head repeatedly, a sense of unreality rising within her.
Lian likes me!!!
The way he went to extreme lengths with malice, his varied methods, and the frenzied torment he inflicted on her—could this be how someone shows affection!!
"He... He would never like me..." Yan Luoxi shook her head vigorously, looking completely unwilling to believe it.
"He likes you, he really does. I know," Li Yi nodded vigorously, as if willing to stake his life on it.
"Elder Brother Yi, you know that since childhood, he has never looked up to me and always made things difficult for me. In his eyes, I am a fool, an idiot...
Li An, hiding in the room, wished he could bang his head against the wall. It felt like he was walking into a trap of his own making, with everything he had done before proving only that he was stupid.
"Some awkward young boys use special methods to attract attention from girls they admire," Li Yi said with a smile, trying to defend his brother in a calm manner.
"Even after growing up, he has never been kind to me. When he found out I was studying here, he came to cause trouble, threatened me with my classmates, and used Zhou Guangtao to force me to work at Anrui International. He played tricks on me at the company and made me take care of him in the hospital...
"Li An's personality is indeed peculiar, but his actions are a test for you," Li Yi felt embarrassed by his forced explanation, yet he had to persist: "Li An may have a quirky and extreme temperament, but in my heart, he has always been my best brother. I used to think that only an absolutely outstanding girl could be worthy of my only brother and become his wife.
But now, it turns out that he is more discerning than me, choosing you who are perfect. You are kind, resilient, strong, tolerant, and caring towards others; all these qualities are exactly what he needs. That's why I hope the two of you can get married and sincerely wish for your happiness."
Li Yi spoke with utmost sincerity, but his words were among those that pained Yan Luoxi most deeply—ultimately, wasn't he trying to send her and Li An into their wedding chamber
"Elder Brother Yi!" Yan Luoxi’s face was flushed with worry and frustration. for a meal.Sun Liangliang, seeing that Lian finally agreed to meet her, specially dressed up in summer outfits freshly customized from Milan, making her look ravishing. However, when Lian saw her, he...
