After this incident, Yan Luoxi clearly saw through Li An's true nature. He was perverted, mentally unstable, and crazy, a devil who acted on impulse without restraint—someone she could not afford to provoke.

In front of Li An, she became completely silent, lowering her head and living by his side in an inappropriate and shameful manner, submitting herself as a slave.

Shao Junhe and Shao Meizhuo had lived with Li An the longest and naturally noticed his odd behavior recently. The usually energetic boy would stay at home, ignoring calls to come out or allow others to visit him. Whenever he did go out, he always brought Yan Luoxi along everywhere, demanding her presence regardless of what they were doing. His mood swings were unpredictable, and he was either hitting or scolding her.

In response to Li An's arrogant and bizarre behavior, Shao Junhe simply regarded it as his usual domineering personality. It was just another twisted way for him to torment others. Shao Junhe sought every opportunity to approach Yan Luoxi but felt that she seemed to be deliberately avoiding him. Thus, he eagerly awaited the return of Aunt Xiao Bei.

Shao Meizhuo understood Li An far better than her brother because she loved him.

Sao Meizhuo was always concerned about and kept a close eye on this playmate with an insatiable curiosity. Through recent observations, based on her acute intuition, she sensed something illicit between them.

Every time Li An scolded Yan Luoxi, his lips would curl up in a subtle smile; whenever he ordered her to do things for him, his eyes would follow her back until it disappeared.

One evening during a gathering, after drinking too much, Li An's gaze kept inadvertently shifting towards Yan Luoxi. He laughed when she did and didn't even realize how foolish he was acting.

Shao Meizhuo and Li An were of the same kind; she knew they tended to express what they really wanted through denial, love masked as hate, and attention despite their pretense of disinterest.

Although Li An was actively bullying Yan Luoxi, oppressing and humiliating her, verbally abusing her in a cruel manner, as the woman who knew Li An best, Shao Meizhu's intuition told her that Li An had grown up. Although it took him longer than others and his behavior was unconventional, he finally showed interest in women—his romantic rival had appeared!

Li An, this exceptionally clever person, was using the most awkward way to conceal his budding affection.

At some point, Shao Meizhu felt overwhelmed by these tumultuous facts. But who was she A beautiful and powerful female superhero, after two days of secretly crying at home, she quickly regained her composure.

She would take action to eliminate the demoness Yan Luoxi before Li An, this immature maniac, realized his feelings for her.

Determined, Shao Meizhu acted immediately. While Li An was away, she suddenly went to the Li family home and saw Yan Luoxi reading by a round table in the garden. She quietly approached and, catching Yan Luoxi off guard, abruptly lifted her shirt, revealing small red marks on her pale skin that pained Shao Meizhu's eyes.

Yan Luoxi jumped away like a frightened rabbit, staring at Shao Meizhu in shock. "Miss Shao, what are you doing"

Shao Meizhu's jealous eyes glowed with hatred; her voice had changed slightly. "Did Li An do these to your body"

"No." Yan Luoxi immediately denied it. She was most afraid that others would uncover the truth she had tried so hard to hide, exposing their relationship. If people found out she was Li An's favored lover, she truly couldn't bear it.

Shao Meizhu looked like a scorned woman. "Stop denying it. There are only two men in the Li family now; if not Li An, then it must be Li Yi."

Yan Luoxi had always respected Li Yi since childhood and blushed at Shao Meizhu's words. "I won't allow you to speak of Brother Li Yi like this."

"Hmph." Shao Meizhu snorted coldly. "Don't be afraid; I'm not here to harm you. I want to help you get rid of Li An."

You're so kind Yan Luoxi looked at Shao Meizhu in puzzlement.

Shao Meizhu knew that her usual image wasn't very good, but she still felt uncomfortable with how Yan Luoxi was looking at her. She said somewhat disdainfully: "Do you really like being Li An's little female slave"

"Who would want to!" Yan Luoxi replied sourly. She didn’t have a natural inclination towards demeaning herself; if not for the circumstances forcing her hand, who would willingly subject themselves to such humiliation

"Then let me help you leave this place," Shao Meizhu said with an incredibly firm tone.

Yan Luoxi knew that Shao Meizhu had always enjoyed antagonizing Li An since childhood and understood that the girl was bold and reckless. Perhaps she could truly help her.

In these days, she really suffered under Li An's bullying. He came up with more ways to torment her, became bolder, sometimes even disregarding the setting and wanting to vent his desires at a moment’s notice.

Yan Luoxi had thought countless times about how she could escape from Li An. She originally believed that since he was about to start school soon, waiting for him to go abroad would solve everything, only to find out that he decided not to study overseas and wanted to attend university locally.

She hoped that when Aunt Xiao Bei returned, Li An might behave better, but unexpectedly, Aunt Xiao Bei called back saying she was going around the world with Uncle Li.

The world under Li An's shadow had no light at all. Shao Meizhu’s suggestion truly touched Yan Luoxi's heart.

"I'll provide you with a substantial sum of money to ensure that you live comfortably for many years without worry. I will also arrange for you to get a new ID and find an opportunity to help you leave here." Shao Meizhuo, heavily influenced by her family's ways, is very adept at handling such matters.

Yan Luoxi warily looks at Shao Meizhuo. "Why are you helping me so much" Her intuition tells her that Shao Meizhuo dislikes her and wouldn't help for no reason.

"Because I like Li An, and I don’t want you to maintain an inappropriate relationship with him." Shao Meizhuo’s almond eyes widen as she growls at Yan Luoxi, much like a first wife would toward a third party lover.

“I see, I understand!” Yan Luoxi quickly nods. She clearly remembers that just days ago, Shao Meizhuo had beaten up an aspiring beauty who was pursuing Li An.

"Are you going to leave or not"

Yan Luoxi thinks for a moment. If she leaves, Li An won't be able to find her and no one will be able to threaten him into doing something harmful to Zhou Guangtao. Furthermore, there’s Uncle Li protecting Zhou Guangtao.

Furthermore, why can’t she treat herself better Why must she live a life of enduring humiliation and hiding her true self Why can't her life be vibrant and colorful Why must she always play the role of a saint, considering others' feelings before acting for herself Why can’t she live once just for herself!

Really, she's had enough of Li An, this madman who acts like an engine driving everything.

Yan Luoxi raises her head and looks into Shao Meizhuo’s hopeful eyes. With determination in her heart, she nods once.
