Chapter 56: A Devil With Wings

e a vague silhouette.This day should have been happy and joyful for Lian.Ever since that day when he secretly saw Yan Luoxi take Zhou Guangtao's call, ever since he accidentally witnessed Yan Luoxi's...Chapter 56: Winged Devil

Yan Luoxi looked at the luxurious surroundings before her, feeling as if she were in a dream. The pretty sister had said that this place would now be her home, but could it really be true This was somewhere only seen on television!

She looked around curiously and with surprise, like an old peasant woman entering the Grand View Garden for the first time, feeling anxious in this unfamiliar and luxurious environment. Fortunately, the pretty sister was kind and friendly to her.

Yan Luoxi was not used to calling Gu Xiaobei "Aunt Li." Given Gu Xiaobei's youthful, beautiful face with a hint of mischief, it felt wrong to call her that.

"Did they come back" Gu Xiaobei asked while taking off her coat, addressing the butler Ms. Li who had walked up to greet her.

"The eldest少爺has returned," replied Ms. Li respectfully, giving Yan Luoxi a warm glance.

"Then go and call everyone over; I want to introduce the child to them all." Gu Xiaobei held Yan Luoxi's hand and walked towards the sofa.

"Dad, Mom, you're back!" A young man around sixteen or seventeen years old came from a nearby floral greenhouse. He had an upright posture with a trim waist, prominent brows, phoenix eyes, a straight nose, thin lips, and a face that was extremely similar to Li Haonan's.

Unlike Li Haonan, this young man did not exude an aura of coldness from head to toe. Instead, he had an elegant air about him; his clear eyes swept across Yan Luoxi in a glance filled with depth like the ocean, and the glimmer that passed through them was captivating.

"This must be Little Sister Luoxi!" Li Yi stood in front of Yan Luoxi and flashed a smile that made people feel as if they were basking in warm spring breeze.

The warmth immediately filled Yan Luoxi's heart.

“Mm.” Gu Xiaobei clearly was very satisfied with her eldest son’s attitude. She held Yan Luoxi's hand and introduced her, "Luoxi, he is my eldest son, Li Yi. You call him big brother."

"Big brother." Yan Luoxi tilted her head up, her little face flushed red as she stared adoringly at the handsome young man before her, calling him大哥 (older brother) with genuine affection.

Li Yi smiled brightly as if he had discovered a rare treasure. He ruffled Yan Luoxi's hair and said happily, "It’s great! I finally have a little sister!" His joy was written all over his face.

Luo Haonan glanced at Li Yi from the side and frowned slightly. This child seemed to be becoming increasingly insincere and slippery in a way that made one feel uneasy. But when he saw how his eldest son could make his wife beam with happiness, he pursed his lips and ultimately remained silent.

Looking at her kind and amiable big brother, Yan Luoxi was so touched she almost cried.

SHE never expected to be this fortunate; the eldest young master of the Li family turned out to be so approachable and easy-going!

Although Yan Luoxi was young, she had a strong sense of self. She loved reading books and often found that in many stories, children from wealthy families either looked down on or cruelly oppressed poor children.

Even on the way here, she had anticipated that she might face刁難和排擠from Li’s children. She never imagined that this unexpected outsider would be so popular!

At this moment, the servants gathered in the living room, standing neatly in two rows before the sofa, about a dozen people, each with lowered heads and hanging hands.

Gu Xiaobei pulled Yan Luoxi’s hand and sat upright on the sofa. "I’ve called everyone here today to announce something important: Mr. Li and I have adopted a daughter named Yan Luoxi."

Yan Luoxi got up obediently, speaking politely. "Hello, everyone, my name is Yan Luoxi."

Gu Xiaobei nodded satisfactorily, her voice slightly raised. "From now on, this will be her home. You must treat her the same as you would our two sons; she is your Miss."

Yan Luoxi was surprised to notice that the pretty sister sitting next to her at this moment had an aura of不容質疑的威嚴in her brows and eyes, her tone and demeanor eerily similar to the imposing Li Uncle.

In a flash, Yan Luoxi no longer dared to call Gu Xiaobei ‘pretty sister’ in front of her. She even stopped whispering it to herself.

The servants respectfully called out together: "Miss!"

Yan Luoxi was startled by the title but knew that Aunt Li was backing her up, and she mustn’t show any weakness. She sat straight and tightly pursed her lips so that her豁牙子would not be seen.

Gu Xiaobei waved to dismiss the other servants and called the housekeeper over, instructing her to look after Yan Luoxi more carefully in the future. She then instructed Li Yi to accompany Yan Luoxi while she and Li Haonan took the housekeeper upstairs to arrange a room for Yan Luoxi.

Li Yi had his own way of dealing with young girls like Yan Luoxi; he was gentle, polite, and measured in his words and actions without any hint of impatience or condescension. Yan Luoxi felt honored but uneasy under such attention.

Naturally cold-hearted as he was, Li Yi would be patient enough to entertain this little girl half out of respect for his mother and half due to the past decade-long torment by Li An. Seeing teenage boys now made him feel exhausted without reason; thus, facing a young girl like Yan Luoxi was truly a relief.

"Who's that person"

Yan Luoxi, who had been watching Li Yi attentively, jumped in surprise at the sudden voice from behind. She quickly turned around to see an overly handsome half-grown boy with sweat on his forehead and dark eyes boldly staring her up and down.

Li Yi frowned slightly, pulled a tissue off the coffee table, stood up, and walked over to wipe the sweat off the boy. He softly said, "This decision was made by Mom; there’s no room for negotiation. Please don’t act foolishly and upset her!" Then he turned back toward Yan Luoxi with his previous gentle smile naturally on his face, “Luoxi, this is your second brother, Li An.”

Younger Li An was an exceptionally beautiful youth, angelic in appearance, with a refined and noble countenance like a character from a comic book. However, when he did not smile, the crescent-shaped eyes flashed with mischief.

Yan Luoxi felt somewhat tense under Li An's gaze; she lowered her head and called out "Second Brother" timidly.

Li An didn't respond but sat down on the sofa. In this household, he was known for his domineering and capricious nature, and he strongly opposed this suddenly introduced younger sister of his, not hiding any negative emotions. He complained loudly: "Brother, why is Mom so suddenly full of ideas"beating..."Mom, my dear mom, please calm down first. I'll explain everything to you; it wouldn't be worth harming your health over this," Li An quickly began soothing his mother with sweet words. "You...
