Chapter 59 Sibling Affection Endures

he sat in the bathtub surrounded by warm water. Her body relaxed, and she couldn’t help but smile, her eyes curving like a crescent moon. When Zhou Guangtao has more money later on, I’m going to make...Chapter 59: The Enduring Affection Between Brother and Sister

When Li An said this to Yan Luoxi, there was an unusually gentle quality in his expression, unlike the lofty and cold demeanor he had earlier that was intimidating. Because of this rare gentle smile, the air seemed suddenly filled with a lingering fragrance, easing everyone's anxious hearts.

Yan Luoxi felt a chill down her spine when she heard Li An call her 'sister'. She found his flirtatious smile unsettling and even dangerous, as if it exuded an aura of killing intent.

Troubled by Li An's smile, Yan Luoxi was jolted back to reality by the frantic squeezing of her hand by Xue Liping. Still half-dazed, she heard herself say, "Hello," and forced a smile at Li An in an attempt to appear calm despite her fear.

Sun Jingjing didn't notice the brief exchange between Li An and Yan Luoxi. Leaning on Li An's chest, she basked in everyone's admiring glances, feeling incredibly pleased with herself.

Finally, she could redeem her past humiliation and gain respect.

Li An waved to the people around him and said amicably, "You all go about your business. Today I'm not some Mr. Li but simply an actor's family member."

Hearing this, Sun Jingjing was so thrilled that her eyes were almost brimming with tears as she gazed up at his captivating features and coquettishly replied, "Mr. Li, you're always so busy; I didn't expect you to attend the ceremony personally."

Li An looked at Sun Jingjing, raising an eyebrow in a way that was incredibly alluring.

Li An gazed at Sun Jingjing with his eyebrows raised in an enticing manner, "This drama marks a turning point in your acting career. Before we didn't know each other; from now on, I won’t miss any important moment of yours.

What a heartfelt declaration of love!

Lǐ n and Sūn Liàngliàng's deep affection made those around them shoot envious, admiring, and resentful glances. Yán Luòxī heard a song in her mind: Brother and sister have long-lasting feelings, just like the river that flows day and night. Even if the water stops flowing at some point, brother will always be by my side...

Thinking of this song, Yán Luòxī couldn't help but laugh out loud with a 'chuck'. She thought her laughter was not loud enough to attract attention in the noisy crowd, yet Lǐ n still raised his head and shot her a meaningful glance.

Yán Luòxī was startled by this look and dared not move again. She stepped back into the crowd and accidentally bumped into someone, saying "Sorry, sorry..." as she turned around to face a handsome face that made her spirits soar.

He had an excellent posture, with his shoulders open and height just right. Yán Luòxī looked up at this familiar screen face in awe.

"Miss, if you don't mind, could you please lift your foot" Rǎn Xù smiled gently, his voice deep yet clear and very pleasant to the ear.

Yán Luòxī snapped out of her reverie, feeling embarrassed. She quickly moved her foot away, looking at the stain on Rǎn Xù's white shoes with discomfort, "Sorry... I should have... How about this" she struggled to think of a solution; surely she couldn't kneel and wipe his shoes for him "...I have wet wipes in my bag, you could use those."

"No problem, Miss doesn't need to worry." Rǎn Xù waved dismissively, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes. "There's nothing perfect in this world anyway; there's no point in being overly demanding!"

How could such an accomplished and popular star look so melancholic Yán Luòxī wondered if she had misread him. She stared at Rǎn Xù again, confirming that it was indeed her mistake.

The person in front of her had a somewhat dreamy appearance, and was smiling slightly at her now. Instantly, Yan Luoxi's entire world became enchantingly beautiful.

"Miss, my name is Ran Xu." Ran Xu's gaze flickered slightly.

"Ah... I... I know your name is Ran Xu! I've seen you in so many plays!" Yan Luoxi looked at Ran Xu dumbly; his smile was really warm, like young Apollo, bright and brilliant.

The corner of Ran Xu's mouth curved upwards slightly, a smile spreading to the corners of his eyes. He extended his hand towards Yan Luoxi, "I am introducing myself to you now, Miss. What’s your name"

Yan Luoxi didn’t understand why Ran Xu had the thought of knowing her; she opened her mouth halfway, somewhat stunned, with a look of surprise and confusion in her eyes. But out of habit and politeness, she still extended her hand and said her full name, "I'm Yan Luoxi."

Ran Xu’s hand was warm and dry; he shook hands politely with Yan Luoxi before letting go.

"Miss Yan, are you related to Ling" asked Ran Xu in a soft tone.

“Yes.” Yan Luoxi didn’t understand why such a big star wouldn't be flocked by the masses or media hounds but would instead spend time chatting with her!

She casually glanced around and only then realized that most people’s attention in the hall was drawn to Li An, who wasn’t a celebrity but attracted more attention than one. These people were surrounding Li An, asking after his well-being.

She and Ran Xu were standing on the north side of the crowd, in a corner of the hall. Apart from them, who felt neglected, everyone else was surrounding Li An and Sun Jingjing.

Yan Luoxi couldn't help but feel a sense of shared misfortune with Ran Xu as she secretly peeked at his handsome face. When he asked her where she worked, she casually replied: "Nanfang Precision."

"... The time for the開機儀式 (opening ceremony) is about right now; your cast and crew should be getting into position..." Li An's voice, which had risen slightly, carried a hint of displeasure to Yan Luoxi's ears.

Out of curiosity, Yan Luoxi turned around to find that the Second Young Master Li, who was still smiling like spring rain moments ago, now looked serious and imposing. A natural air of leadership radiated from him: "Immediately organize people; go sit outside right now so as not to keep the media waiting..." Just like his usual domineering style, he issued direct orders without asking or discussing.

The managers and assistants around Li An probably didn't expect him to change so quickly. After being stunned for three seconds, they nervously hurried into action. The director called out to Ran Xu, Zhu Yan, and others, leading them quickly towards the exit.

Although it was sudden, as Ran Xu rushed forward, he whispered to Yan Luoxi: "Miss Yan, we'll meet again."

The people in the hall were all startled into scrambling out hurriedly when Li An suddenly snapped. Only a few staff members, Sun Jingjing, Xue Liping, and Yan Luoxi remained with Li An.

Li An, holding onto Sun Jingjing's arm, smiled warmly at the slightly nervous Xue Liping: "Auntie, let's go outside!" Then he turned to look at Yan Luoxi with a disdainful gaze: "Sister, is this your first time seeing such dazzling celebrities You seem quite excited!"in her mouth, "Eat this first. Don't move around anymore. Stay here and wait for me."Yan Luoxi nodded obediently like a child.A short while later, Li An carefully brought over a bowl of soup, sitting...
