Chapter 62 Heartstrings and Dreams牽引魂魄的情愫與夢境

Yan Luoxi's eyes, leaned down to kiss her forehead as if soothing her, then pulled her hand and started walking away.Lian’s car was a jeep with excellent performance. Clenching his teeth, he pressed...Chapter 62: Soul-Linked and Dream-Tied

Du Zhijun never imagined that Li An would one day become her immediate superior, nor did she think they could be so close, living together through thick and thin.

Sometimes she felt it was like a beautiful dream or an illusion, laughing to herself many times secretly because of this.

But the greatest wisdom of intelligent people lies in self-awareness. Du Zhijun clearly understood the distance between her and Li An. In her heart, there was always a phrase she would silently repeat: such men are terrifying, beyond her control.

When Du Zhijun left her office, she noticed that the light in the president's office next door was still on, and Li An had not yet left either.

After these days of working together, Du Zhijun’s impression of Li An had changed dramatically.

In her original perception, Li An was just a spoiled, arrogant young master who indulged himself. She never expected that his work ethic, style, and wisdom would not be inferior to his brother Li Yi's in the slightest.

Investing in wind power projects is unlike other jobs where one can simply sit in an office directing affairs; this project requires daily field investigations to assess practical feasibility on-site. Every day when inspecting outside, Li An was never absent.

The Inner Mongolia grasslands stretch endlessly, but not everywhere is covered with smooth roads. To save time, off-road vehicles sped over the undulating terrain of the vast steppe, jolting everyone to their core.

Such inspection work could sometimes take a whole day, and upon returning, Li An never rested; he would wash his face, drink coffee, and immediately convene a meeting to discuss the results from the on-site investigation.

Gradually, everyone forgot that Li An was the playboy of the Li family and only remembered him as a meticulous and strict general manager who worked hard.

Du Zhijun felt心疼 when she saw Li An's日漸消瘦figure. She had thought his appearance was captivating; now she realized he possessed an even more compelling drive and action.

Curious, Du Zhijun slowly approached the entrance of Li An's office. She tiptoed to peek through the glass door when her hand accidentally brushed against it. The slightly ajar door silently and slowly opened, startling her like in a horror film.

The room was dark. Instinctively, Du Zhijun peered inside and saw piles of documents scattered on the desk, the laptop screen blank and in sleep mode. Li An lay asleep fully clothed on a sofa beside the desk.

Unconsciously, Du Zhijun stepped further into his office, stopping briefly before carefully approaching him to cover him with a blanket draped over the back of the couch.

This was the first time Du Zhijun saw Li An sleeping. Despite his fit and tall figure, even on such a comfortable sofa, he looked extremely uncomfortable.

Perhaps exhausted, despite not being able to stretch out his legs, Li An slept deeply. His lips were pursed and brows slightly furrowed, as if troubled dreams disturbed him, making sleep uneasy for him.

Du Zhijun held her breath and moved closer. She wanted to tuck the blanket on the back of the sofa around him. As she unfolded the blanket and gently covered Li An, he stirred slightly.

Scared, Du Zhijun stopped her actions immediately.

Li An didn't truly wake up; he merely moved his lips softly murmuring a name: "Lu Xi..." The tone was filled with情感和不捨she had never heard before in him.

Du Zhijun held the blanket, standing there dazed. She didn't know who Luoxi was or where she was now, but it was undoubtedly a woman deeply loved by Li An.

This woman must be so happy to have been passionately pursued by such an enchanting man!

The woman who was envied by Du Zhijun was currently in self-depression in the small town.

Shao Junhe would take Yan Luoxi out for walks every day, almost forcing her to bargain with street vendors, chat with people resting in parks, and dine at bustling restaurants. Gradually, Yan Luoxi got used to the lively crowds and became less closed off mentally.

Sudden summer rain came unexpectedly as Yan Luoxi and Shao Junhe were walking along the edge of town. A large dark cloud blew over them, and Shao Junhe quickly pulled Yan Luoxi into a nearby pavilion for shelter.

The fine mist-like rain began to fall swiftly, moistening the black tiles and pink walls of the little town. As the rain intensified, droplets fell like curtains from all directions around the pavilion.

Yan Luoxi watched as the clear raindrops kept falling before her, reaching out to catch a few for fun. A chill breeze blew by, making her shiver involuntarily.

"Don't stand here; it's chilly." A gentle voice came from behind her, followed by Shao Junhe wrapping his warm jacket around her.

Over the days he had been taking care of Yan Luoxi, Shao Junhe had gained experience. When they went out shopping every day, he carried a big bag on his back containing clothes, wet wipes, mineral water, small cushions...

Fascinated by the crystal clear raindrops falling like pearls, Yan Luoxi found them beautiful and inadvertently took another step forward.

"Luoxi!" Shao Junhe turned around to look for a tissue for Yan Luoxi, only to find that she had already walked outside the pavilion. Afraid that she would catch a cold from the rain, he called out to her loudly.

Yan Luoxi looked back dazedly, gazing at Shao Junhe's anxious eyes. Cold raindrops were pouring over her head and neck. She gradually focused her mind as if summoning a soul from afar and embedding it bit by bit into her body. Blinking her eyes, she gave Shao Junhe a bitter smile, with her gaze shifting like someone reborn.

Seeing Yan Luoxi in such a state made Shao Junhe feel dumbfounded and afraid. He watched as Yan Luoxi appeared dazed and confused, then suddenly woke up, her eyes seeming to clear up slightly.

Yan Luoxi saw the tenderness in Shao Junhe's gaze and felt stifled and sentimental inside.

Shao Junhe, how can you be so good to me, while the one who truly should have been by my side is nowhere to be found

Tears slowly filled Yan Luoxi’s eyes, and after a slight blink, they began to fall.

"Luoxi, what's wrong Did you get sick from the rain again" Shao Junhe was startled and rushed over, pulling Yan Luoxi into the pavilion and gently shaking her arm. "Luoxi, why are you crying Is it because I scared you just now Don't be afraid, don’t worry, I didn't mean to...I'm sorry..."

Yan Luoxi looked at Shao Junhe, the tears streaming down faster and faster. "I’m sorry, I should be the one apologizing. These days, I’ve been too selfish, running away from problems without facing them head-on, hiding myself in a shell and letting you take care of me...

It was my own fault for trusting the wrong person, not realizing that what he did was to retaliate against me. It’s all my own foolishness; since childhood, he has been playing with me, how could I believe he would fall in love with me...

I’ve made him suffer so much and caused him such humiliation before. With his vindictive nature, there's no way he’d let me off the hook. How foolish of me...I deserve this..."intravenous solution. Soon enough, Zhou Guangtao fell asleep.He didn’t know how long he had been sleeping when he felt someone standing by his bedside. He strained to open his eyes and found it was Yá...
