Chapter 25: Each with Their Own Agenda

without any complications. Yet, he couldn't help himself, unable to forget.His temper wasn’t good, but for Yan Luoxi’s sake, he had repeatedly restrained himself. Many times, he thought about giving...Chapter 25 Everyone Has Their Own Agenda

Luo Yi Haonan couldn't remain indifferent under his wife's punishment. He stretched out his big hand, half supporting and half pulling Yan Luoxi up from the kneeling position to sit on a nearby couch.

He spoke in a very amiable tone: "You child, who taught you this Why do you kneel so easily Uncle Luo just told you that it was Li An's mistake. Not wanting to marry him is normal; we wouldn't force you."

Gu Xiaobei still felt that Yi Haonan wasn’t being friendly enough and pinched him from behind.

Yi Haonan, thoroughly convinced by the pinch, finally broke into a smile. His handsome eyes looked cold yet warm at the same time: "What I said before was because I thought you are a girl, and if we didn't offer to let you marry Li An after such an incident with him, it would seem like we're bullying you. But I never meant to force you."

Gu Xiaobei found Yi Haonan's words this time very appropriate and satisfactory; she smiled at him approvingly, while Yan Luoxi finally understood what Uncle Luo meant and showed an embarrassed smile.

Luo Yi Haonan raised a brow at his little wife and snorted inwardly. With his extensive experience, he could surely deal with these two silly girls!

"What about Li An How are we going to explain this to him" Gu Xiaobei asked, lifting her small face.

As soon as she saw that her husband had joined her side, she immediately stopped thinking and passed the problem onto the head of their household.

"This kid is so stubborn!" When Yi Haonan spoke about Li An, he couldn't help but sigh. His youngest son might have done too many bad things to be as fortunate as him. Even his own mother refused to support him in getting a wife.

Gu Xiaobei's eyes, like the surface of a lake, softened as she looked up at him with admiration. "Haonan, I know you have the best solutions!"

Literally wanting to vomit blood, Little Wife Gu spared no effort in using her charm, so he had to put in some work or else such treatment would never happen again.

As they say, experience trumps youth; Lü Haonan did have a way to deal with Li An, the question was whether he was willing to do it.

Seeing his wife's hopeful little face looking up at him with a smile, it made one’s heart soften. How could Lü Haonan let her down

After some thought, he said, "Tell Li An that Luo Xi needs time to think about it; meanwhile, we’ll soothe him first and then take Luo Xi away while he's sleeping at night."

"What" Gu Xiaobei’s expression was one of disbelief as she frowned. "Clearly, it’s his mistake, clearly he made unreasonable demands. Why do we need to soothe him first And why does Luo Xi have to sneak out"

Yan Luoxi had no objections to Lü Haonan's suggestion; if only she could leave this place right now, even crawling through a dog hole was fine with her.

Lü Haonan looked at Gu Xiaobei indulgently and patted her head. "Stay calm. Since Luo Xi doesn’t want to marry Li An, we need to have a long-term plan for dealing with this situation. You don't know how crazy your son is; if we let Luo Xi go now, will he just accept it If we handle this improperly, there’s no guarantee that once we leave, he won’t find Luo Xi again and the same thing will happen over and over...

This consequence was something I hadn't anticipated. If Li An catches me again, given his penchant for vengeance, he would undoubtedly torment me even more severely; could there still be any hope for my survival

Yan Luoxi looked at Li Haonan with great reverence. Uncle Li certainly has a long-term perspective!

"What should we do then" Gu Xiaobei's face was filled with worry, and in this moment, his son seemed to have transformed into a demon, ready to pounce on Yan Luoxi at any time.

Li Haonan smiled confidently, soothing his somewhat childlike wife. "Don't worry, I have a plan. First, we'll keep Li An occupied. Then, taking Yan Luoxi with us, we will visit Zhou Guangtao. If Zhou Guangtao is not bothered by what has happened to her and still wishes to be with her, we’ll send them both away to another city to start anew."

When she suddenly heard Li Haonan mention Zhou Guangtao at this moment, Yan Luoxi was momentarily taken aback. The image of the graceful figure flashed through her mind as if from a distant world.

"...If Zhou Guangtao doesn't accept Yan Luoxi, then it will be easier to handle; we’ll send her abroad to any country she chooses. If she doesn’t want to leave the country, moving to another city is also an option. Changing her name and identity, in this vast world, Li An won’t find her."

Gu Xiaobei noticed Yan Luoxi's momentary distraction when Zhou Guangtao’s name was mentioned; she nudged her husband with dissatisfaction. "What do you mean easier to handle Guangtiao is such a sensible boy. If he could come forward and ask us for help to save Luoxi, how could he refuse being with her"

She then held Yan Luoxi's hand, somewhat apologetically saying: "Ignore your Uncle Li; he’s just so straightforward. He doesn't include emotions in his rational plans. Guangtiao has been waiting for you and looking forward to you!"

Yan Luoxi nodded sadly. Regardless of what would happen between her and Zhou Guangtao in the future, at least Uncle Li's arrangement was comprehensive. She could finally be free from Li An; she could finally let go of her tense heart.

Lǐ Hào Nán couldn't understand women's thoughts. Listening to Gu Xiabei and Yán Luòxī chattering and consoling each other with meaningless words, he grew impatient and decided not to bother with what they were saying. He bid farewell to Gu Xiabei before heading downstairs.

Lǐ n, who had been restlessly waiting for news downstairs, finally spotted his tall father and immediately perked up, shouting, "Dad!" as he rushed over enthusiastically.

The sudden loud voice startled Lǐ Hào Nán. In more than twenty years, Lǐ Hào Nán had never seen Lǐ n act so affectionate towards him before. He was overwhelmed with感慨 (sighs), realizing the tremendous power of love that could even soften a stubborn person like Lǐ n.

Alas... alas... She has no intention, while he is deeply in love!

"Dad, how did the talk go" Lǐ n looked at his father with an intense eagerness, his fingers trembling slightly and his speech punctuated by short breaths.

Lǐ Hào Nán stared at Lǐ n. With a face like jade, eyebrows like distant mountains, and eyes as bright as stars and the moon, he looked up at Lǐ Hào Nán with sincere anticipation, his features highlighted beautifully under the orange lamplight.

His younger son was so outstanding in appearance and intelligence, yet Yán Luòxī didn't love him!

Unable to accomplish what his son wanted, Lǐ Hào Nán felt a bit guilty but couldn't show it. Maintaining the stern demeanor of a family patriarch, he solemnly said, "Don’t get excited. I talked to Luoxi about this matter, but she says she needs more time to think."

Lǐ n's joyful expression instantly vanished. He had thought that if his father intervened, nothing would be impossible, yet Yán Luòxī still needed more time!because their father, who loved his wife dearly, couldn't bear to see her upset.Unsurprisingly, they heard their father's 'loving' call and immediately got ready for a beating as they appeared before...
