L Li An's unexpected arrival greatly relieved Yan Luoxi's pressure and even stole the spotlight from her. Since these people stopped surrounding her to gossip, she didn't mind losing her limelight.

The atmosphere in the ballroom was getting better by the minute. Waiters were weaving through the hall with trays full of champagne glasses as enthusiastic greetings filled the air. Li An was very considerate, chatting amicably with everyone and gesturing for Yan Luoxi to come over so he could introduce her to some old acquaintances.

Yan Luoxi had no choice but to grit her teeth and walk over to Li An's side, allowing his "wolf claws" to rest on her waist. He would occasionally touch or pinch the skin exposed outside her clothes. To develop relations with clients, she could only mutter softly at first, “What are you doing Behave yourself!”

"How can I be blamed for this when you dressed like that It's not as if my hand intentionally went inside your clothes," Li An said innocently.

He was being greedy and unreasonable, which infuriated Yan Luoxi no end.

A while later, Yan Luoxi felt something amiss with the way Li An looked at her. His big hand also became more inappropriate behind her back. Seizing an opportunity when no one was paying attention, she stomped hard on his foot with her high heel.

Unable to scream out loud, Li An merely frowned slightly and reined in his roaming hand a bit. He glanced at Yan Luoxi and whispered softly, "No need to be so ruthless! If you cripple me, will that look good on your face"

Yan Luoxi snorted and looked around, muttering to herself: "Are you a cripple or paralyzed What does it have to do with me"

Lǐ n felt deeply offended by her words but swallowed his anger, took a sip of alcohol, adjusted his mindset, then continued to say: "Fine, if I'm air in your eyes, you can just ignore me!"

"Listen, don't think that helping me like this means I'll be indebted to you." Yan Luoxi warned Lǐ n sternly. "If you show up unannounced at my company or in my territory again, I will resign from my position."

Lǐ n clenched his teeth and was too furious to speak; this little girl had a habit of turning her back on people the moment she crossed a river.

Although Lǐ n no longer dared to come over to Yan Luoxi's company after being warned by her several times, he still occasionally sent her some surprises or annoyances—sometimes flowers, sometimes chocolates, and other times help when she was struggling with business partners.

Faced with such a difficult person as Lǐ n, Yan Luoxi could only continue treating him like air. That day, she received a call from her best friend Zī Yèxīn who used to study with her; Zī Yèxīn was coming to Zhu Kou City for work and wanted to see Yan Luoxi.

Yan Luoxi was thrilled at the news and arrived early at the airport to pick her up. Upon arrival, she received a notification that Zī Yèxīn's flight had been delayed by two hours due to air traffic control. She could only head slightly disappointedly towards the café across from the terminal to wait for Zī Yèxīn there.

Outside the coffee shop, Yan Luoxi, preoccupied with thoughts about her misfortune caused by air traffic control, ran into a person walking out of the door. While rubbing her slightly sore nose, she apologized: "Sorry... ." When she saw the well-dressed man in front of her with neatly styled hair and an elegant face, she suddenly found herself unable to speak.

The man in front of her seemed even more excited than she was, staring at Yan Luoxi with trembling lips. It took him a while before he muttered out, "Luoxi, it's really you, it's really you..."

For a moment, Yan Luoxi couldn't bring herself to speak; her heart felt like it was rapidly contracting and then suddenly expanding infinitely, making her feel as if she were being tossed about by the waves of the sea, almost suffocating.

The man across from her stood there for a while with his gaze fixed on Yan Luoxi's face before he managed to regain some composure. He opened his mouth and said, "Luoxi, it’s been so long!"

Yes, indeed it had been such a long time.

Yan Luoxi felt a thumping in her chest; she never would have imagined that one day Zhou Guangtao and she would unexpectedly run into each other like this, and that they would greet each other as if strangers and say "it's been so long!"

"Brother Guangtao..." Yan Luoxi seemed to squeeze out these three words from between her teeth, after which she couldn't continue.

At this time, someone at the coffee shop entrance needed to enter or exit. It was obviously inappropriate for them to stand there like that. Zhou Guangtao woke up before Yan Luoxi and pulled her back into the coffee shop, taking a seat in a quiet corner.

The coffee shop played soft background music. Zhou Guangtao looked at the long-missing Yan Luoxi in front of him; his eyes narrowed slightly. She was still so beautiful. More accurately, under Li An's protection, as a mother she had become even more graceful and mature, full of charm.

Zhou Guangtao, even though he was abroad, never changed his concern and affection for Yan Luoxi. Abroad, he could only rely on hearing through the grapevine or asking others to learn about her situation, so he couldn't immediately grasp what was happening with her. By the time he found out that Yan Luoxi had broken up with Li An, she already had his child.

He regretted not having another chance to be there for Yan Luoxi when she needed him most — to take care of and accompany her, to atone for past wrongs.

When Zhou Guangtao learned about the situation Yan Luoxi was in, Li An had already started pursuing her again with more determination and passion than ever before. It could be said that no male insect could come close to her now.

Zhou Guangtao began to believe that Li An truly loved Yan Luoxi; after so many years of糾纏 (entanglement), care, and companionship, if someone hadn't been deeply in love with her, who would waste such a long time

Year by year, Zhou Guangtao witnessed Li An's obsession, stubbornness, and unwillingness to let go. This kind of dedication was something he couldn't achieve himself.

Zhou Guangtao lost the opportunity to win Yan Luoxi back again. When he heard that she had given birth to a daughter for Li An, Zhou Guangtao suffered several sleepless nights in anguish. He didn't know if he was longing or jealous. The last glimmer of hope vanished with the child's arrival.

Seeing Yan Luoxi clearly distracted and out of it, Zhou Guangtao chose to speak first, "Luoxi, are you going to the airport to pick someone up"

"Yes. Ye Xixin is coming for a conference here. She can stay for a week. I want her to come live at my place. We haven't seen each other in so long... I miss her." When Yan Luoxi was nervous, she tended to talk more and ramble on without coherence. Looking at Zhou Guangtao smiling kindly at her, she felt awkward and touched her nose while asking a silly question: "Ye Xixin, do you remember her" face and the obvious annoyance around his eyebrows, so he hurriedly pulled these two clueless silly girls away, saying, "Oh, you both should go soak in the hot springs with your brother.
