Chapter 13: Unmarried Men and Women

n Luoxi cried for a little while and then wiped away her tears. She didn't want to wait here for Ran Xu's return but couldn't just pull out the needle and leave either. So, she increased the speed of...Chapter 13: Single Man and Woman Alone Together

Yan Luoxi had seen Li An's fierce side before, his ruthless demeanor, but she had never witnessed him being so angry. He was savage like a wild beast, as if killing her wouldn't be enough to satisfy his wrath. She was already somewhat afraid of Li An, and his threatening behavior now, with his terrifyingly malevolent gaze, made her body tremble uncontrollably.

"I asked you where you were!" Li An's grip tightened, causing Yan Luoxi pain that made tears pour down her cheeks. "I... I went back to my dorm..."

"Why didn't you answer your phone when you returned to the dorm Did you go meet someone surnamed Zhou" Li An's current erratic behavior was typical of a husband who had caught his wife in bed with another man.

"My... My phone was on silent mode, I didn't hear it ring. I didn't go see Zhou Guangtao, I really didn’t." Yan Luoxi firmly denied the accusation. She could not provoke Li An any further; she might be strangled right then and there, followed by Zhou Guangtao being shot.

Li An's hand finally loosened somewhat, and taking advantage of this moment, Yan Luoxi managed to break free from his grasp, rubbing her nearly shattered chin.

"Did you really not meet that person surnamed Zhou" Li An’s gaze swept repeatedly across Yan Luoxi's face as he continued to question her with exasperation.

"I truly didn't. I... I tried calling him, but he was busy at work and couldn't come out, so I went back to the dorm to check on Yu Fan and the others." Lies shouldn’t be entirely false; a mix of truth and falsehood is most convincing. To pass this test smoothly, Yan Luoxi used all her lying skills.

Li An mocked with a twisted smile: "How lowly can you be You called him! What did you call her for How do you feel now that she's busy and ignoring you Is it still not enough to prove how despicable you are"

Slightly sensing the danger had passed, Yan Luoxi let out a soft sigh of relief.

"Did you drink alcohol" Li An's sense of smell is as sharp as a hound’s, and his expression quickly changes.

"I... I did!" Facing the truth, there was no way to deny it; Yan Luoxi confessed.

"Who did you drink with" Li An interrogates Yan Luoxi with meticulous attention to detail.

"With Yu Fan and Zi Xin. Yu Fan quit her job today because she's in a bad mood." Yan Luoxi rolled her eyes, countering Li An, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't brought Su Meizhu here, Yu Fan wouldn’t have been humiliated. And without the humiliation, she wouldn’t have had to resign!"

Regarding what happened with He Yufan, Li An felt somewhat apologetic; his domineering attitude softened a bit. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Tell Yu Fan that it's okay if she doesn't work at Anrui anymore. I have several branches in this area that are comparable to Anrui in size and scale. She can choose wherever she wants."

"Really That’s amazing! Thank you!" Yan Luoxi sincerely thanked Li An, her face beaming with joy.

When she smiled like that, it was as if a child were laughing, her eyes curving into crescents. Looking at this, Li An's heart warmed up; all the worry, anxiety, irritability, and torment of the previous night seemed to dissipate, leaving him feeling soft and sweet inside.

He slightly exerted himself, pulling Yan Luoxi, who was standing by the bed, into his arms. Although he had received an explanation for what he wanted to know, there was still a lingering unease in his heart; only when she was confined beside him did he feel safe.

"What are you doing" Late at night, with only the two of them alone together like this, Yan Luoxi felt extremely uneasy. Yet, she dared not struggle hard for fear of hurting Li An's wound.

Li An leaned against the headboard and looked at Yan Luoxi with a smile so handsome it could bewitch the world: "Sleep with me tonight."

"This isn't good!" Yan Luoxi shook her head vigorously, like a rattle. She had just been flirting with Zhou Guangtao and felt an attraction towards him, but now she was in the same bed as Li An. Just as Li An accused her of being, she could truly be called a little hussy!

"Fine, I think it's great." As soon as Li An came into contact with Yan Luoxi’s soft and smooth body, he had an immediate reaction. If his current paralysis wasn’t an issue, he would surely devour the tender little flower bud whole.

Even though he was currently paralyzed, he still held firm to the motto of "Disabled in body but not in spirit," leaning forward to fiercely kiss Yan Luoxi and biting and gnawing at her. Half-weak and half-hating him, she pushed him away without being too forceful, repeatedly begging for mercy: "Don’t…don’t…Li An…don’t do this…It’s bad for your wound…If you tear it open again…you’ll need another surgery…"

Before she could finish her last sentence, Yan Luoxi let out a cry of pain. Li An had bitten her tongue harshly and said indistinctly: "Do you hate me so much You want more surgeries How are you like that evil wolf grandma"

"I have hair all over my face; don’t kiss me anymore." Wolf Grandma wasn't pleased.

Li An chuckled and said, “I like it. I heard people say having sex with animals is very exciting…”

"Get lost!" Yan Luoxi was at a loss for words, and Li An kept being playful. He really did think of her as the wolf grandma.

Just as Yan Luoxi was putting up a fierce resistance, she suddenly felt an uncomfortable sensation in her stomach and hurriedly yelled out: "Quickly let me go, I need to use the restroom!"

"Are you serious" Li An looked at her expression with suspicion, thinking that she might be tricking him.

“Hurry up, or it will be too late!”

Lian saw Yan Luoxi tightly clutching her abdomen, looking pale and not acting like she was faking it. He immediately let go of his grip, and Yan Luoxi sprang out of bed with a 'whoosh', quickly rushing into the bathroom.

Yan Luoxi probably overate at Haidilao that evening; all night long, she had been going in and out of the bathroom countless times.

This time, Lian finally felt relieved. Looking at Yan Luoxi's disheveled appearance with glee, he said vindictively, "I told you so! Don't do immoral things like cheating; it’s easy to suffer consequences!"

Yan Luoxi didn’t have the energy to argue back anymore. After her nth trip from the bathroom, she collapsed on the sofa with a ghastly pale face and closed her eyes weakly.

Lian was somewhat scared seeing Yan Luoxi, who had been full of vitality, now lying still. He immediately pressed the bell for a doctor to come over and demanded that he give Yan Luoxi an IV drip.

Upon hearing Lian’s demand for medical treatment, Yan Luoxi instantly thought he was taking revenge on her and fiercely opposed it. In the end, after persistent pleading, Lian instructed the doctor to give her a few pills and let her go back to sleep.

After this series of events, Yan Luoxi was genuinely exhausted; as soon as she touched her pillow, she fell asleep.

Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating the room with bright silvery light. Concerned about Yan Luoxi, Lian couldn’t sleep and instead turned his head to look at Yan Luoxi lying close by.

Her sleeping posture wasn't graceful, but her skin was flawless; fine down could be seen if one looked closely, like a baby’s skin. Perhaps because her stomach still felt uncomfortable, even in her dreams she had a frown on her face, and her long lashes fluttered softly with each breath, casting small fan-like shadows under her eyes against the light.

Seeing Yan Luoxi sleeping by his side like this, an unusual sense of peace washed over Lian. Her plain little face brought him comfort and a strange fascination.seriously ill and developed depression, nearly losing her mind."Lǐ An sat there dumbly, "Depression... Depression..."
