，可看著顏落夕一副為了周廣濤可以犧牲一切的樣子，二公子心裡頓時湧起一股強烈的不悅。For the last part, here's the translation without additional HTML tags:Originally, punishing Zhou Guangtao was just a whim of Li An, but seeing Yan Luoxi willi...Chapter 24: Who Can Love More Humiliously

Lǐ'ān stood there rigidly, watching Yán Luòxī wave goodbye to Zhōu Kuàngtāo with great reluctance. Despair and cold pain spread through his body like a freezing tide, causing the warmth in his heart to gradually turn icy.

The feeling was very cold and painful, but he knew he had to endure it.

Míng Zǐxī saw Yán Luòxī leave far away by taxi, while Lǐ'ān still stood like an ice sculpture. He mustered up his courage to pull at Lǐ'ān's sleeve and said with a sardonic smile: "Lǐ'ān, don't you see She’s saying her final goodbye. From now on, you can live happily with Yán Luòxī."

Lǐ'ān glanced sideways at him, barely managing to curve his lips into a smile: "Ah, yes. This morning, Luòxī told me that Zhōu Kuàngtāo wanted to see her for the last time. I think they should be given this chance to meet, as they have grown up together since childhood."

Shào Mǐzhuō glanced at Lǐ'ān and said with a smirk: "Lǐ'ān, you really love Yán Luòxī quite a bit. Even though you don’t know she met her ex behind your back, you’re still defending for her here!"

Lǐ'ān's smile froze on his face, feeling somewhat embarrassed and awkward to have his thoughts exposed. Recalling how he had lost face in front of these friends because of Yán Luòxī made him feel even more ashamed.

Shào Jūnhè noticed Lǐ'ān’s ill-tempered look just now, secretly worrying about Yán Luòxī. Upon hearing Shào Mǐzhuō's words, he quickly interrupted: "Mǐzhuō, don't talk nonsense!"

He meant well with this statement, but everyone was intelligent and upon hearing him say so, it made Li An’s lie for Yan Luoxi resemble the story of "Three Hundred Silver Here."

Li An's wounded heart was ignited by the brother and sister's two sentences, filled with sorrow and anger. He had already been shocked at his humble status in front of Yan Luoxi, and now he confirmed that their relationship had long ago been guessed by everyone.

Sadly, he smiled lazily towards everyone, trying to make his tone casual: "No matter what she does doesn’t matter. We’re getting married anyway; she’ll soon be my woman."

Shao Meizhuo had grown up with Li An and knew too well of his prideful nature, knowing that he was deeply hurt at this moment.

Serves you right for liking that stinky girl! This is self-inflicted!

Shao Meizhuo felt incredibly satisfied, her heart blooming with joy. Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she could not let it slip away: "Haha, Li An, your love is truly great, but sometimes in love, it's not about who loves more deeply or longer, it's about who loves more shamelessly. Li An, do you know why you can marry Yan Luoxi Because you’re shameless..."

"Meizhuo, shut up!" Shao Junhe, usually calm in nature, suddenly burst into rage, his fierce eyes staring at his sister.

If it had been before, if Shao Meizhuo dared to talk to him like this, Li An would have slapped her across the face ten times without hesitation. But today, he did nothing; amidst everyone’s horrified gazes, he even smiled at Shao Meizhuo.

When Yan Luoxi's final farewell with Zhou Guangtao appeared in the form of a scandal before both him and his best friend, Li An was filled with shame and anger. He tried to hide his emotions, pretending to be calm and composed, but his expression betrayed his true feelings.

Shao Meizhuo saw her brother openly supporting Yan Luoxi. Looking at Li An's defeated face, she, who already had a mouth full of venomous words, began to cheer for this man who was utterly devoted to Yan Luoxi without any reservations.

Shao Meizhuo sneered at Li An and Shao Junhe: "You two are no better. All these years, you’ve spent your energy flattering her and scheming to possess her, treating her like a princess, but she doesn’t give you the time of day.

Li An, by trying so hard to marry Yan Luoxi, you’re merely ending your era as a slut and jumping straight into an era as a live turtle…"

"Slap!" A loud slap echoed in the airport hall.

Shao Meizhuo covered her reddened cheek, looking at her brother with a mix of hurt and anger, seemingly unable to believe what had happened. She gritted her teeth and shouted: "Shao Junhe, you… dare to hit me…"

She was shocked as she held the burning pain on her right cheek. Clearly, she hadn’t expected Shao Junhe to slap her instead of Li An.

Ming Zixi was stunned, Li An was stunned, and Wu Tiantian was even more surprised. None of them had imagined that Shao Junhe, who usually spoiled his sister endlessly, would actually slap Shao Meizhuo!

Ruan Weijie, who is usually indifferent, reacts quickly today and comes to邵美卓's side in two steps, pulling邵美卓's arm and soothing her gently: "Meizhuo, does it hurt... Brother Dou didn't mean to; he just acted on impulse!"

"Get away from me!" In a fit of rage, Shao Meizhuo pushes Ruan Weijie away. Since childhood, when had she ever endured such humiliation Already shocked today and slapped by her brother, she feels utterly humiliated and enraged, no longer caring who hit her; like a mad tiger, she pounces towards邵君赫.

Young and stylishly dressed, they naturally attract attention. Now with the commotion, even more people are watching from afar out of curiosity, though the airport crowd maintains good manners and does not get close to gawk.

The most embarrassed by this situation is Li An, but since it's his doing, he can't just stand by while邵美卓, a shallow and belligerent woman, assaults his good friend—even if they are brothers.

Li An stretches out an arm, swiftly catching the back of Shao Meizhuo’s neck. Unprepared, she feels her body go numb with no strength left at all; she cries out in alarm and turns to see who attacked from behind.

"Are you crazy Are you a mad dog biting people recklessly" Li An lifts Shao Meizhuo as if she were a chick, holding her before him. With narrowed eyes full of menace, he stares directly into hers, saying each word deliberately: "Your brother slapping you was giving you an out; do you understand For what you just said, I could kill you right now. Do you believe it"

Seeing the fury in Li An's eyes, Shao Meizhuo is also very uneasy. What if he loses control and really kills her

But with years of seething hatred intensifying as Li An unreservedly defends顏落夕, Shao Meizhuo fearlessly sneers at him: "Haha, you only act like a big shot in front of me. If your wife cheated on you, you wouldn't even dare to say a word. Stop embarrassing yourself here; get lost as far away from me as possible, you coward!"orridge, and several plates of delicate pickles... a mix of Chinese and Western cuisine covering half the table.Relaxed, Yan Luoxi felt familiar with this scene, as if she had returned to her childhoo...
