The soft and spacious bed was incredibly comfortable, and in no time, Yan Luoxi fell into a sweet slumber to the sound of birds chirping.

Yan Luoxi woke up to the sounds of chirping birds. The sky outside was already bright with morning light, and from between the curtains'縫隙，隱約還能看到遠處群山中未散去的晨霧。

"Good morning, my lady!" Li An, who had been awake for a while, looked radiant as he lay next to Yan Luoxi.

"Look at you now, groveling like a lackey!" Yan Luoxi teased him with a smile.

Li An didn't get angry, rather chuckled and said, "Master, shall I take you today to see the beautiful scenery of Scotland"

"Alright!" Yan Luoxi was delighted by Li An's antics.

After breakfast, Yan Luoxi and Li An set off with Xiao Zhanyan.

The car drove out of the white castle; a vast lake soon came into view. The water was as clear as a mirror, reflecting everything around it. Further ahead were lush green mountains, and green fields stretched out before them gradually. They passed through undulating hills and valleys, with gazelles occasionally jumping across their path, making Xiao Zhanyan clap his hands in delight.

Finally, their car reached the destination. Here amidst the mountain ranges, it was cool and pleasant, with thriving vegetation. Snow still capped the distant peaks, while wild grapevines climbed up trees and flowers bloomed in clusters by the lake.

Yan Luoxi got out of the car, threw down her shoulder bag, took off her wide-brimmed hat, and walked around excitedly. Li An hugged Yan Luoxi's waist from behind, saying, "I knew you'd like it, so I brought you here." He kissed her cheek and said, "Luoxi, my greatest effort in this life is for you; don't forget!"

“Don’t worry, I’m keeping that in mind.” Yan Luoxi giggled as she pushed Li An away and ran off to play.

The servants laid out large carpets on the grass. Li An placed Xiao Zhanyan onto one of them, letting her roll over and play by herself.

Li An took out his fishing gear, set up a tent nearby, and sat by the lake leisurely basking in the sun and fishing.

This was a moderately sized tourist area, with many people coming to enjoy themselves around here. Yan Luoxi couldn’t sit still to fish, instead wandering about and soon acquainting herself with some of these visitors.

Li An had an aloof personality, not very sociable in general, but seeing his wife enjoying the company and the lively atmosphere, they joined forces with these other tourists for fishing, barbecuing, picking grapes, and milking cows. They had a great time together.

The couple stayed here for over a month. When Li An noticed Yan Luoxi starting to feel bored, he planned on taking her somewhere else for a trip. But considering their child was with them, they could only go to places with developed transportation and relative prosperity.

Just as the two were looking at a map deciding where to go next, Li Haonan and Gu Xiaobei suddenly arrived because they missed Xiao Zhanyan.

The moment these two arrived, upon hearing that Li An intended to travel around the world, they immediately took their child away. The reason was simple: children needed a stable environment and were not suited for such wild adventures with them.

Without the kid around anymore, Li An and Yan Luoxi felt unrestricted. They drove through South America’s dense tropical rainforests; boarded world cruise ships to watch sunrises and moonsets over the sea; went skiing in Switzerland, sunbathing on Hawaii, even ventured to Antarctica for aurora borealis viewing that covered half the sky.

Lian and his wife were having a great time outside. They would fly back to visit their children every now and then, before going out again to play. After half a year of playing around, Yan Luoxi organized for them to go home.

She lay in the soft bedding, looking up at the exquisite carvings on the ceiling. "Lian, I'm tired of playing; I want to rest at home."

Lian reached out and held Yan Luoxi tightly. "What's wrong Do you miss home or do you miss the children"

Yan Luoxi turned around and looked steadily at Lian. "Dear, you should grow up now. Our parents are getting old, our eldest brother is tired; we need to go home and take on our responsibilities!"

Lian couldn't help being moved, and hugged Yan Luoxi tightly. "Luoxi, marrying you was really the right decision." Lian always felt that he owed a lot to Yan Luoxi, so he wanted to give her the best life possible by traveling around the world with her.

But he still couldn't forget about home; leaving his children in the care of his parents and letting his brother handle business affairs, it seemed like all Lian had done for twenty years was revolve around Yan Luoxi.

Yan Luoxi's heart yearned for her child. No matter how glamorous or beautiful a place they were in, no matter how dazzling the scenery, without her children beside her, there was always something missing in her heart.

Since Lian agreed to go home too, the two of them immediately set off and flew back home without delay.

Xiao Zhiyan had put on some weight over these past six months. His feelings for Li Haonan and his wife were clearly better than those towards Lian and Yan Luoxi; when he saw them approaching, Xiao Zhiyan went straight into Li Haonan's arms, refusing to budge.

Lian was in a foul mood about this, going back to the room to persuade Yan Luoxi to have another child.

In fact, over the past six months, Li An had been thinking about having another child, but Yan Luoxi said that they were too tired from their travels and didn't have a regular diet or rest schedule, so it wasn't a good time to have a baby. They had been in a hurry when they conceived Zhan Yan, and this time, they definitely needed to plan carefully for the sake of eugenics.

Li An thought that was reasonable. During their previous pregnancy and childbirth, Yan Luoxi had either been sad and distressed or worried and anxious; she hadn't enjoyed any proper prenatal treatment. When planning to have another child this time, he would definitely treat her like a precious ancestor.

When Yan Luoxi and Li An returned home, Yan Luoxi was in charge of taking care of the child while giving Li Hao Nan's couple some freedom to enjoy themselves. Li An officially started getting involved with the parent company’s business affairs, and Li Yi began dating.

Their long-troubled love journey finally seemed to be on a steady path. Yan Luoxi also began adapting to her life as a high-society wife: she would go shopping when idle, indulge in spa treatments, and every weekend, she and Li An would take their private jet to Zhu Kou City to visit Xue Liping.

Now, whenever Yan Luoxi went out, it was always to exclusive clubs where the clientele were either wealthy or of high social status. Many young and beautiful women came here for beauty treatments; everyone knew she was Li An's wife and couldn’t help but glance at her curiously.

This day, when Yan Luoxi entered the massage area, she saw two young and attractive women sitting on a sofa inside, either resting or waiting to be called by their masseuse.

Whenever Yan Luoxi came here for treatment, she always requested number 68 to give her a massage. Unfortunately, number 68 was busy today, so she sat down on the sofa and picked up a magazine at random.

A woman looked straight at Yan Luoxi twice before turning to another woman beside her: "Lu Lu, why aren't you wearing the diamond ring that Young Master An gave you It’s such a big rock; it's absolutely stunning!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The woman named Lu Lu glared at her friend and stood up in some agitation. “Let's go now. I have something else to do and won’t wait for the masseuse.”u Guangtao hadn't moved out yet, it would be better for her to leave.
