Luo Yi was graceful in his manners and demeanor but exuded an innate aura of dominance. He gave a faint smile to Luo An, "You've grown up; don't keep using your childhood excuses on me anymore. There are some things I won't hold against you, there are some things I can take the blame for, and there are some things I can shield you from in front of our parents. Who cares that you're my little brother But this doesn’t mean you can continue to be a willful child who acts without thinking about consequences or refuses to grow up!"
"Big Brother..." Luo An lowered his head, conceding he was at fault as he looked at the blooming flowers on the coffee table.
I thought that after your insistence on getting engaged and married to Yan Luoxi, you finally had a sense of direction about your life. I never expected this turn of events! "Luo Yi's eyes were cold as he stared at Luo An. "Tell me, why the sudden change Why did Sun Liangliang suddenly appear, causing such a commotion at the airport"
"It’s not like you… didn’t you tell me to wait before getting engaged and said not to rush things" Luo An scratched his head as he met his brother's gaze honestly, trying to convey that he hadn't done anything wrong.
“Bang!” The pen that had previously been casually held in Luo Yi’s hand was suddenly thrown on the ground. A pure gold pen cap collided with the wooden floorboards, making a clear sound.
Luo An saw his brother's expression turn icy and grew afraid. His big brother usually treated him very kindly and rarely showed such anger towards him. Seeing this reaction from his brother, Luo An was still quite intimidated.
"I told you not to rush, I asked you to wait a little longer. First, it's for you to understand your position and think about the responsibilities you'll have after engagement, how to be a husband, how to be a father! Second, it's to give the family time to prepare. A Li Family child getting married cannot be done hastily."
Lǐ Yì’s eyes were full of anger and sharpness, as if he was holding a knife, "I never told you that you could have mood swings, change your mind frequently, act without responsibility or end a relationship casually!"
Lǐ n felt ashamed from his brother's scolding but didn’t want to be easily defeated. He muttered in a low voice: "Later on, I found out that I don't feel anything towards Yán Luòxī, so I decided not to go through with the engagement and ended it."
"Nonsense!" Lǐ n slapped the table and stood up angrily. “Lǐ n, tell me what you've been doing all these years Apart from traveling far and wide, stubbornly pursuing Yán Luòxī with your wits, have you done anything else”
“Alright, since you're young and our family is wealthy, I don't expect you to do any proper work. It's understandable that you want to pursue the woman you love. I support you putting all your efforts into it. But now that you've got her in hand, how can you suddenly say there’s no affection and want to get rid of her”
Under his elder brother's relentless questioning, Lǐ n felt embarrassed. Thinking about Yán Luòxī leaving him with tears, he was heart-stricken, but then remembering the reason why they broke up made him feel defiant again, and he argued in a sly manner: "Just because I got her, it became tasteless. Haven't you heard that what one doesn’t have is always the best Once you get it, there's no meaning."
Lǐ Yì rubbed his temples painfully with his fingers, able to deal with armies and business competitors easily, yet finding this playboy of a brother completely beyond his control.
sighing in frustration, he said, "Li An, how immature and irresponsible of you! The whole world can see through your heart, but only you are blind to it. Don't you know that what you're doing is being unfair to Yan Luoxi and neglecting yourself You might regret this for the rest of your life!"
The Li family had informants all over the city. Now that Li Yi was in charge of the Dynasty Empire, any news would be reported to him.
Li An caused such a big stir; on the same night, Li Yi found out while he was abroad. However, it was daytime there, and he was busy attending meetings, so he assumed Li An was just arguing with Yan Luoxi and didn't inquire right away.
After two days, when he had finished his work, he inquired again and discovered that Li An was serious this time. He really drove Yan Luoxi away while he was having fun at home.
Li Yi understood his younger brother's feelings for Yan Luoxi and feared that Li An would regret it later on. He also worried about Yan Luoxi’s safety, so instead of calling Li An immediately, he sent people to find out where Yan Luoxi had gone.
When his subordinates informed Li Yi that Yan Luoxi was with Shao Junhe, Li Yi's head buzzed. He knew that fate probably wouldn't give this reckless younger brother a chance to regret.
If Shao Junhe wasn’t around Yan Luoxi, Li Yi would have immediately called Li An and shouted or scolded him until he went to fetch Yan Luoxi back. Even if they weren’t going to be engaged anymore, Li Yi wanted his younger brother to apologize to Yan Luoxi for his unpredictable behavior and avoid making their mother upset again.
However, Yan Luoxi already had Shao Junhe by her side, with Shao Junhe having deep ties to their Li family. Li Yi could only sigh and pretend not to know about this.
Who would have thought that even overseas, he couldn’t pretend ignorance in peace, as Li An started causing trouble at home again, indulging in drinking, gambling, fighting, and womanizing with a relentless spirit of refusing to stop until his parents returned.
With no choice but to act, Li Yi had to leave unfinished business abroad and rush back to stop Li An’s outrageous behavior.
Hearing his older brother speak in a tone similar to Ming Zixi's, Li An felt rebellious. Why did everyone assume that he couldn’t live without Yan Luoxi Why did they all think that the regretful one had to be him
Was Yan Luoxi the only woman in this vast world Was he unable to survive without her
The brat’s bad temper flared up again; he lifted his chin and looked out of the window, saying, “I’ve already had my fill with her. You can rest assured that I won’t regret it.”
Li Yi understood his younger brother’s extreme and arrogant nature; the more one said, the angrier Li An would become. Fuming with anger, he gritted his teeth and said, “Li An, when you were young, your temper was already bad, to the point of doing no good deed but many evil ones. Mom and Dad scolded and beat you, and I always protected you. I thought that one day you would grow up and mature, but it turns out that as you grew older, instead of improving, you became even worse, more wicked than ever before! You’ve taken your capriciousness and brutality to their extreme!”per overlooking the city's night view.
