Liangliang, you silly girl, how could you be so impulsive!" Sun Zhijun hurriedly tried to wrap a napkin around Sun Liangliang's injured arm.Sun Liangliang struggled with him, "Let me go! Let me die. Y...Chapter 81 Tender Love

Yan Luoxi was held by Li An and seated in his car, warm as spring. The spotless window glass clearly reflected her current appearance: a small face with a hint of blush, eyes filled with tenderness and satisfaction, lips slightly curled upwards, carrying an unnoticeable smile.

At this moment, she realized that no matter how stubborn and arrogant she appeared in everyday life, when she was about to fall on the ground, she still hoped for a pair of strong hands to firmly catch her.

The profile of Li An beside her was beautiful as he looked ahead with ease.

In this moment, something inexplicable softened and calmed Yan Luoxi's heart. It felt like an explorer who had been wandering alone for a long time, thinking they were used to the solitude, but suddenly found themselves in a warm place where they realized they hadn't rested in ages, making them unwilling to leave.

Thinking of this, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but let out a faint sigh. She wondered if she had suffered too much recently that she could develop such extravagant thoughts towards Li An. Deep down, she knew it wasn't good and must stop these dangerous thoughts immediately.

The man named Li An had caused her too many troubles in the past; she couldn’t afford to appear weak before him.

Li An, who was driving with sharp senses, heard Yan Luoxi's slight sigh. He reached out his big hand and held her slightly cold little hand tightly. The warmth and dryness of his hands comforted Yan Luoxi, making her turn towards him involuntarily. His handsome eyes were filled with a warm smile.

As Yan Luoxi looked at Li An, there was a moment of melancholy and admiration in her heart: Why couldn't it be Zhou Guangtao holding her hand right now Why didn’t Zhou Guangtao persist stubbornly like Li An If he pursued her as tirelessly as Li An did, maybe she would forgive him…

But there were no 'ifs' in this world.

"Miss, where do you want to go next I'll be your personal driver today," said Li An with a raised brow towards Yan Luoxi.

"I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to go home." Yan Luoxi hated her inexplicable and unfamiliar feelings towards Li An, wanting to avoid him immediately.

"Why would you go home To catch up with the pigs"

Li An’s slick attitude slightly reassured Yan Luoxi. She glared at him, "I don’t want to follow you anywhere!"

"Why not" Li An called out innocently.

"Being by the side of a handsome guy like you would make everyone think I’m your little personal maid."

"My girlfriend can't be seen as just some little maid," Li An thoughtfully tapped his steering wheel with his long fingers, "I’ll have to do something about that. Let’s take you for an SPA first and then go shopping…"

"Stop!" Yan Luoxi quickly interrupted, "We’re already so familiar; there's no need for this kind of treatment from you!"

"What kind of treatment" Li An was a bit baffled.

"When playboys chase after girls, they start with luxury car rides and flowers. Then come fancy dinners followed by shopping sprees with golden cards at boutiques. Late-night trips to the mountain top for star-gazing or beach fireworks are also part of their repertoire. The main event is conquering them with cars, houses, and money."

"Where did you hear all this" Li An looked at Yan Luoxi in confusion, "Has someone used these tactics on you before"

Impossible. He had kept a close eye on Yan Luoxi; if anyone tried to use such tactics on her, he would have known about it.

Yan Luoxi pouted and said, "Who would want to invest so much in someone like me I only see this kind of thing in TV dramas!"

Luo An spoke solemnly, "Do you want to experience it for yourself If you do, I can act on it right away."

"No," Yan Luoxi shook her head firmly.

Luo An frowned and said, "Why not Many women seem to want this."

Yan Luoxi sighed dramatically, "After the繁華過後是淒涼！你知道嗎，大多數男人攻陷一座城池後，隻會短暫地在那裡休憩一下，然後就向著下一座行進，留下女人獨自守衛這座空蕩的城池。這種落差太大了，我害怕自己在這樣的冷淡交替中得了傷寒！”

Luo An felt that Yan Luoxi's words were a subtle jab at him and glared at her, "Stop talking nonsense. Tell me where you want to go first!"

Yan Luoxi thought for a moment and said, "Let’s go to the supermarket." There was nothing to eat at home, so she had to live somehow. It didn't seem realistic to have Western meals every day, so she needed to buy some food supplies.

Luo An drove them to a nearby Carrefour near Yan Luoxi's place. With the lunar new year approaching, the supermarket was bustling with festive cheer; as soon as they entered, warm air and noisy chatter poured in from the entrance.

“A thousand homes gather together for reunion, joyfully welcoming the New Year...the New Year is truly special..." cheerful and celebratory songs echoed throughout every corner of the supermarket, which was decorated with colorful festivity.

Luo An had been alive for so long but had rarely come to a supermarket, especially recently. With his life being one of convenience where food and clothes were provided, he almost forgot that such places existed.

He noticed that the people shopping in the supermarket were either couples or married pairs; following Yan Luoxi around made him feel inexplicably elated.

"How about this place, you're not familiar with it, right!" Yan Luoxi looked at Li An who was looking around in a silly and clueless manner and smiled smugly. She then confidently took the shopping cart and pushed it straight to the food section.

"Follow me, and gradually you'll get used to it," Li An very gentlemanly took the shopping cart from her hand with a warm smile on his face.

The supermarket was packed with people. While Yan Luoxi looked around, she had to maneuver past other shoppers. Suddenly, her waist tightened as Li An pulled her over, "Come closer to me so that others don't bump into you."

Li An's figure was tall and imposing; although there were many people in the supermarket, few dared to approach him directly. With him holding her like this, Yan Luoxi felt much safer and more at ease.

She felt a bit pleased with herself but also slightly envious.

The food section was right ahead of them. Looking at the rows upon rows of frozen foods in the freezer display, Li An's mouth watered. "Luoxi, look at this lion’s head meatball..." Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Luoxi had already grabbed two bags of frozen dumplings and steamed buns from the shelf, then turned around to pick up a few boxes of instant noodles.

Seeing other housewives crouching down carefully selecting their meats and vegetables, Li An reached out to stop Yan Luoxi who was bending over to grab some ham sausages, "What are you picking all this for"

"Eating of course!" Yan Luoxi looked at him as if he were an idiot. "Put the ham sausage into a bowl of instant noodles, it'll be so delicious!"

Li An was speechless and pointed to a young woman nearby who was picking out vegetables, "See what she's buying"

"Oh, okay, let me pick some green vegetables too. They'll go well with instant noodles," Yan Luoxi accepted the suggestion humbly.eeding base that was so impressive in size and cleanliness—it even had lush green lawns laid across the ground.The variety of dogs here was extensive but all were large breeds—Siberian Huskies, German...
