Yan Luoxi sometimes liked Li An's slightly anxious demeanor; at such times, she felt a great sense of achievement. She looked at him kneeling before her, madly in love with her, and found it incredibly fulfilling and satisfying.

Yet, she was also afraid of this side of Li An because once he got started, he wouldn't stop for anything, his ardor intense enough to overwhelm her. Previously, every time they were together, Li An would never be satisfied until the very end, leaving Yan Luoxi completely exhausted.

At present, Li An was kissing Yan Luoxi like a ravenous wolf again, pinning down her body so she couldn't escape.

Seeing things get out of control, Yan Luoxi felt scared and wanted to back off. But how could Li An let that happen

Right now, he was on top of her, having full control over the situation, disregarding whether she agreed or not, his hands already unbuttoning her nightgown.

"Hey... Don't do this... It's daytime. Mom and the child might come back at any moment."

Yan Luoxi glared at him, protesting.

"Be good... My darling..." Li An cooed to her, completely ignoring her protests and the white eyes she gave him, moving down from her already swollen lips.

"No, no... I'm tired, sleepy... Need to rest... Stop it..."

Li An kissed Yan Luoxi's neck grandly. "Wait a moment... I'll make you sleep better."

"... Ouch, be gentler! Don't leave any marks; it wouldn't look good if they see them." Yan Luoxi shouted at the man who had buried his head in her neck and shoulders.

"Okay... I'll be more gentle!" Li An happily agreed when he saw that Yan Luoxi was no longer resisting.

He quickly took off his own clothes, revealing his broad and muscular body. He started to explore under Yan Luoxi's waist… Suddenly, the phone rang persistently.

Li An let out an angry sigh and looked gloomy, but he didn't stop what he was doing and ignored the ringing phone.

"Answer the phone, will you It’s really annoying!" Yan Luoxi couldn’t bear the disruptive noise anymore; she pushed Li An on top of her.

Li An was also irritated by this persistent ringing. With a murderous expression, he went to get the phone and just as he was about to hang up, seeing who was calling made him calm down immediately.

He sat down, took a deep breath to steady his breathing, then picked up the call and respectfully said, "Dad!"

"This is your mother," Gu Xiaobei's voice, tinged with anger, came through from the other end of the line.

“Ah, Mom!” Li An immediately chuckled in an extremely good mood.

"You naughty boy! You've become more and more cunning. When you were little, you always kept things from us. Now that you're grown up, you’re even worse—hiding everything important from us. Little Li An, this time your father is going to give you a good 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 can hit me or scold me, just don't get angry! Angry women age faster and look less beautiful..."

"Don't try to charm me with empty talk!" Gu Xiaobei ignored his smooth-talking, her voice still filled with irritation. "I want an explanation—why didn’t you tell me about such a big event as your marriage If I hadn’t caught sight of my eldest brother arranging for the PR department to purchase items, I would’ve been kept in the dark! Am I not your mother"

"Mom, regardless of what happened, it’s all because of me. But there was a reason behind it—I didn't want you to worry," Li An suppressed his laughter and tried to appease Gu Xiaobei on the other end of the phone. "You are my mom, so at some point, I had to tell you about my marriage. The reason I didn’t let you know earlier is that I was afraid it would upset you!"

Gu Xiaobei exhaled lightly and asked seriously: "What’s Lanxie's stance Is she truly forgiving you this time Does she willingly want to marry you, or have you been making things difficult for her"

"Of course she is willing," Li An glanced proudly at Yan Lanxi by his side. "Mom, don’t worry. This time, both Lanxie and I genuinely wish for a happy life together. To make up for the worries we’ve caused you in the past, when we return, we’ll bring you an extra special surprise!"

"What kind of surprise" Gu Xiaobei’s curiosity was piqued; she momentarily forgot her earlier displeasure.

"I'll let you know after I get back. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore."

Yan Lanxi saw Li An's self-satisfied expression and pinched him discreetly.

"Son, when are you planning to bring Lanxie home Our family hasn't had such an eventful occasion in a long time. Your wedding must be properly arranged," Gu Xiaobei’s mood shifted quickly; thinking about her son's upcoming wedding, she became excited.

"This time you get married, invite all of our relatives and friends to make it grand. Ask Lanxie what kind of wedding she wants—traditional Chinese style, Western style, or a blend of both"

Before Li An could say anything, a vague voice of Li Haonan came through the phone, "Don’t mix East and West; it looks ridiculous!"

"It’s now their son’s big day in life as he marries Luo Xi. They should be listened to. Why are you interfering" Gu Xiaobei complained to her husband.

Li Haonan didn’t speak again, and Li An couldn’t help but sigh inwardly at how his eldest brother often spoke up for their father. His dad had always been dominant all his life, yet he was unconditionally obedient towards their mother.

"Mom, Luo Xi’s a good girl. She listens to you the most. If you think what kind of wedding is suitable, then that will be our choice. You decide this matter." Li An flattered his mom while winking at Yan LuoXi playfully.

Yan LuoXi smiled softly.

"That won’t do. This matter must listen to Luo Xi. Women should act like queens during weddings, or when" Gu Xiaobei really loved Yan LuoXi and said, "Lian, pass the phone over to Luo Xi right now and tell her that whatever she needs just speak up…"

“Ouch… forget it. Just come back as soon as you can so we can sort this out together…”

Seeing how much his mother cared about him and Yan LuoXi, Li An felt touched and agreed, "Mom, Luo Xi and I will return in a few days, no need to worry."

Gu Xiaobei put her mind at ease after hearing that they could come back so soon. She quickly hung up the call.

The moment Li An placed down his phone, Yan LuoXi protested, "How can you agree with Auntie Xiaobei to come back in a few days There are still many things left unresolved here!"

"What’s there to resolve It just needs your mom. Leave it on me." Li An patted his chest confidently.by the end, she could only hold her chopsticks dumbly, staring at Zhou Guangtao across from her with his elegant fingers holding a glass, his metal cufflinks glinting slightly as he smiled at her and...
