Lian seemed unable to accept and was secretly resentful about this sudden outcome, yet he felt powerless.
He wanted to throw a tantrum, to scream and shout. He wanted to question his father, mother, and brother why they didn't care about his feelings and just took Yanluoxi away!
If it wasn’t his parents who had taken away Yanluoxi, he would truly have the heart to kill someone.
But with both his father and big brother together, it was like having Buddha on top of Five Elements Mountain plus an incantation; no matter how great Sun Wukong’s abilities were, even turning around wouldn’t be possible under such constraints.
The dust had settled and the situation was irreversibly decided – Yanluoxi was truly taken away by his parents.
Lian didn't seem as anxious as before; he stood there with a cold smile, then returned to his old lazy self, indifferent to everything. He casually hopped over to sit on the sofa and said in a gloomy voice: "Brother, I’ll go home after finishing what I have to do here. You can head back first."
Liyi looked at Lian slowly with narrowed eyes, as if pondering the deeper meaning behind his words. Under Liyi's sharp gaze, Lian couldn’t look back openly and instead averted his gaze outside.
The thoughts in Lian’s mind were somewhat perceivable by Liyi; he knew why Lian stayed behind and wouldn't let him go unless given another chance to find Yanluoxi.
"Alan, I know how you feel. If you want to stay here and look for Yan Luoxi, I won't stop you."
Liyi sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, his tone serious. His patience was wearing thin.
"But Alan, remember one thing: don’t stir up trouble. The commotion this time is already big enough; we won't talk about how much it has stressed our father or me. Just consider your mother—since you were little, have you ever seen her so angry"
These years in the Li family, you know what position your mother holds. If you dare to make her upset again, even if your father breaks both of your legs, he might do it. Moreover, can't you bear seeing your mother so sad and distressed"
Sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression, Alan was twisting a banana into an unrecognizable shape. He flinched when his brother spoke.
Each word Liyi said seemed casual but was carefully chosen; his parents had handed him this ticking time bomb, and he needed to find a way for it to resolve itself without causing too much damage, even if Alan did explode—it must be contained within minimal impact.
"Alan, no matter what you do, there has to be limits. Men especially should know their responsibilities and boundaries; nobody can keep covering up your mistakes indefinitely."
Alan looked at his older brother; it seemed he hadn't slept well last night, with bloodshot eyes and dark circles under them. Though neatly dressed, exhaustion was evident.
"I understand, big brother. Go back home now; I'll just settle some matters here then return. Afterward, I’ll go home."
Alan’s voice sounded desolate, giving the impression of obedience: "Big brother, I know this has caused you trouble. Don’t worry, I’m not a child anymore and will handle things appropriately; I won't dwell on the past—I’ll start my new life."
Liyi sighed involuntarily. Alan was an adult with many responsibilities to manage, so he couldn’t stay here day and night watching over him. After considering it for a moment, he said: "I'll leave Wei Jie here; you aren't mobile enough, and he can take care of you."
Lian and Ruan Weijie were not very familiar with each other, and although he didn't want to let him stay, he was afraid that it would make his older brother's heart suspicious. Thus, he could only nod in agreement.
Zhou Guangtao and Yan Luoxi, under Li Haonan's suggestion, abandoned their long-term life in the north and resolutely returned to the south, settling down not far from their hometown city—Zhukou City.
Zhukou City was not very far from their hometown G City. This place, like G City, had excellent geographical conditions, strong government support, and a rapidly developing economy.
The city was filled with high-rise buildings; commercial buildings were clustered everywhere, the streets bustling with people. Golden skyscrapers pierced through the clouds, while on the magnificent river surface, numerous cargo ships sailed ceaselessly.
Li Haonan's plane brought Yan Luoxi and Zhou Guangtao here, but Li Haonan and his wife did not get off the plane. Li Haonan informed Zhou Guangtao that someone would pick them up after they got off the plane, and he had arranged temporary accommodation and a vehicle for them; everything else was left to their own efforts.
Until the moment of getting off the plane, Yan Luoxi still felt dazed. She mechanically bid farewell to Zhou Guangtao and the Li family couple, then followed him out. Only when she saw the unfamiliar city and the bustling streets did she realize that this was not a dream.
The unfamiliar place made Yan Luoxi feel anxious, but with Zhou Guangtao's company by her side, she quickly established a sense of home ground. She held tightly onto Zhou Guangtao's hand and looked at the city before them.
This was where they would strive and work hard for their future, where she would enjoy the joy and passion that this city brought her together with the person she loved most.
Zhou Guangtao felt Yan Luoxi's nervousness and squeezed her hand tightly, turning his head to smile at her, his eyes shining brightly.
For a young and ambitious person like Zhou Guangtao, although it was regrettable to lose his previous well-paid high-position job, he felt even more drawn towards the platform Li Haonan offered him, which allowed him to fully施展他的才能。
Who wouldn't want to unleash their creativity according to their own wishes and change the world Once such an opportunity comes along, one naturally yearns for success that they've cultivated with their own hands.
A man with ambition would never find a platform too big or obstacles too numerous. Only when he becomes the boss himself can it be considered true success. Relying on others—no matter who those people are—is not a sustainable strategy in the long run.
Zhou Guangtao was inwardly delighted by Li Haonan's support for him, even though he didn't show any outward reaction.
Yan Luoxi saw composure and excitement on Zhou Guangtao's face. In this unfamiliar city street, Yan Luoxi felt a vast bamboo forest in the chest of Zhou Guangtao. At this moment, he was so confident and calm.
The temporary residence that Li Haonan provided for them wasn't an overly luxurious villa nor a cramped room meant to test their endurance. It was a 120-square-meter apartment located on the sixteenth floor.
The interior decoration of the house was relatively simple but well-designed, with a large living room upon entering, accompanied by a bar counter and balcony, even including an extra study room.
The biggest advantage of this residence was its excellent location in the heart of the city. For two young people just starting their careers and families, there couldn't be a better place than this.
Yan Luoxi stood by the door with her mouth wide open in surprise, her eyes round as saucers; Zhou Guangtao, carrying his simple luggage, remained composed like distant mountains.ich scattered all over the floor. A startled ICU nurse who had just entered promptly jumped back out.The handsome face of Li An darkened with fury as he roughly grabbed Yan Luoxi’s chin in his hand, c...
