Chapter 109

id he still have time to show off and act cool What kind of behavior is this"Li An, you bastard, scoundrel! How can you be so shameless!" Yan Luoxi shouted as her heart ached so much it seemed like it...Chapter 109

Ni Xuanyi thought about her past self and suddenly found it very laughable; some people simply don't care what you're thinking.

But she couldn't recapture that feeling anymore. Now, when she was with Ruan Zhao, they rarely spoke to each other but rather silently kept one another company.

Not long after Ni Xuanyi left, Ruan Zhao panted heavily as he chased after her and called out: "Xuanxuan! Xuanxuan!"

Hearing his call, Ni Xuanyi felt a bit annoyed but turned around. She initially wanted to argue with Ruan Zhao, but seeing him holding her coat in one hand and a bottle of freshly squeezed juice in the other, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, she immediately softened.

"Xuanxuan, are you cold Are you thirsty" Ruan Zhao looked at Ni Xuanyi as if he were taking care of a child.

Ni Xuanyi wasn't heartless; she knew that there weren't many people who would genuinely be good to her. Even though Ruan Zhao's affection sometimes suffocated her, it was still sincere and single-minded.

These days, she had been vaguely waiting for Li Yi to find her, but when he didn't show up, her heart gradually turned cold and desolate in disappointment.

Li Yi wasn't doing well either. Work that used to bring him enjoyment now felt like a pressure and burden. For some inexplicable reason, Ni Xuanyi had started liking Ruan Zhao, and she left without looking back.

He was heartbroken but had no one to confide in.

Liyi couldn't understand why women's emotions had to be so complicated. It seemed that she wanted to die holding his hand, but everything changed in an instant.

He felt depressed and distressed.

Although Liyi was someone who didn't show their feelings easily, the immense disappointment and sorrow he harbored made him lose his usual gentle demeanor. His face remained somber, with a sharp wrist and a fierce attitude.

The senior members of the Dynasty Empire felt increased pressure when facing such a formidable boss. They would tremble before him and work extra hard to maintain their positions. Even those women who admired Liyi, like Tang Molili, cautiously hid their adoration for him and worked diligently to secure their spots.

Sitting in his office, after leaning back on the chair with his head resting against it and closing his eyes to rest, Liyi realized how busy he had been lately. Not only was he occupied with work, but also with the major incident involving Li An and Yan Luoxi— they suddenly had another child.

Concerning the future of the Li family, Liyi couldn't ignore it; he devoted a significant amount of time to them, which left piles of documents piling up in his office.

He massaged his sore temples and opened the drawer to take some medicine. Recently, he had been experiencing dizziness due to overwork, as diagnosed by the doctor who prescribed him some medication.

Liyi noticed a golden frame in the drawer containing a photo taken by Li An. The photo captured them fishing by the lake; Ni Xuanyi was lively and animated while sitting by the lakeside with her fishing rod, and he looked at her with a smile full of affection.

The youthful smile and joyful expression seemed to seep out from the photograph, compelling Li Yi to gently trace Ning Xuanyi's face with his fingers.

Xuanxuan, are you happy now Is what you have right now the life you want!

Ning Xuanyi waited and waited but eventually didn't receive Li Yi’s search for her. Under the endless care and company of Ruan Zhao, she finally agreed to his proposal.

She thought that if she married him, according to her temperament, as long as she married Ruan Zhao, she wouldn’t have any other thoughts for the rest of her life. She wanted to use this marriage to completely cut off all connections with Li Yi.

Ning Xuanyi lay lazily on the sofa watching TV while Ruan Zhao was dealing with documents at the other end of the house. Suddenly, his phone rang. He answered it and only said 'hello', but soon his expression changed. Then he walked into the nearby sunflower room.

Ning Xuanyi wasn’t too concerned about what Ruan Zhao did every day or who he was talking to on the phone; she merely carried a water cup to the kitchen for some water. She faintly heard Ruan Zhao’s voice from the flower room mentioning "Li An", making her heart tremble involuntarily, instinctively taking a few steps closer, wanting to hear more clearly.

Ruan Zhao's tone was very serious as he said in a low voice: "... Why does it concern us if Li An got lost in the forest Their family of brothers are all like that; if they don’t know the way around, why do they run around aimlessly It’s their choice to cross boundaries, we shouldn't pay attention to him..."

"What did you say Where is Li An lost!" Ning Xuanyi suddenly pushed open the door connecting the flower room and kitchen.

Ruan Zhao didn’t expect Ning Xuanyi would appear behind him all of a sudden, startling him greatly. He hurriedly put down his phone and smiled somewhat awkwardly: "The Li An we’re talking about isn't the same person you know, it’s a misunderstanding!"

"You can't brush me off!" Ni Xuanyi's eyes narrowed, looking quite fierce. "You can choose to tell me or not; if you don’t want to tell me, I can go ask Meng Mang, and if he doesn’t say anything either, then I’ll find out for myself."

Ruan Zhao seemed upset now, his delicate eyebrows furrowed. "Are the people of the Li family so important to you Even someone like Li An, who isn't Li Yi, can stir your heart"

"Yes." Ni Xuanyi answered firmly. "Because everyone in the Li family is kind to me; during my over four years in G City, they treated me as if I were part of their family. Even though I cannot be with Li Yi, when something happens to Li An, I can't just ignore it."

Ruan Zhao smiled lightly, his icy smile carrying a hint of sarcasm: "I understand; you still haven’t forgotten about Li Yi, and this is all to please him!"

"Think what you want. I’m going to see Li An no matter what, there’s nothing you can do to stop me unless I die." Ni Xuanyi's voice was resolute.

Ruan Zhao’s expression changed; his voice rose sharply. "Ni Xuanyi! You heartless person, threatening me with your life for them I won’t let you go see Li An no matter what, and we’ll see how long you can last!"

Ni Xuanyi stopped arguing with him, turning around to leave but was gently held back by a guard outside.

She looked at Ruan Zhao and sneered. "You actually dare to imprison me Fine, you're ruthless enough; let's see if I’m just as ruthless!" Then she ran quickly up to the rooftop and stood against the wind.

Ruan Zhao was scared now; his face paled. "Xuanyuan, what are you doing Come down quickly! It’s dangerous there!"happily, her face filled with sweetness and joy as she couldn't help but carefully reach out a hand to gently caress Li An's cheek. Her palm felt infinitely warm at this moment; she had to admit that...
