Chapter 15: Free and Uninhibited

ght out, Yan Luoxi asked excitedly, "Really That’s great!" Then she haggled, saying, "Actually, you should buy me this phone because you made me fall and break it."Lian looked at her childish demeanor...Chapter 15: Reckless and Free

Yan Luoxi was startled. Why did Li An come so early today Thinking of her boldness yesterday, she nervously smiled at him as she slowly walked over and greeted him勉強地打了聲招呼：“Mr. Li, good morning!”

Seeing Yan Luoxi before him looking completely refreshed, Li An couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. Today, wearing a suit dress with light makeup, Yan Luoxi exuded an entirely new, strange, and otherworldly beauty. Perhaps she was beautiful before too, but it had been overshadowed by her slovenliness and indifference. Now, like polished silverware, she radiated an ethereal glow that was enchantingly bewitching.

Yan Luoxi was frightened by Li An's silent presence and dangerous gaze; this man's thoughts were too unpredictable, especially when he remained silent—guaranteed to be plotting some evil plan.

She felt it wasn't safe for her to stay here any longer and stammered out: "Mr. Li, if there’s nothing else…"

"Come to my office." Seeing Yan Luoxi's flustered appearance, it was like looking at a frightened little rabbit—snow-white and cute. He suddenly wanted to pull her over and embrace her tightly, but when this thought flashed in his mind, he panicked and fiercely berated himself.

"I haven't changed into my work clothes yet!"

"Hurry up and change." Li An exhaled lightly; he had never noticed Yan Luoxi to be so quick-witted before. How did she know that seeing her dressed like this made him uncomfortable

If she were his own private property, he would gladly decorate her to dazzle everyone—let anyone who dared look covetously at her suffer the consequences; she was his and anyone who dares to move against her will face death. However, since she wasn't his now, such a beautiful appearance of hers could only bring more trouble.

"Oh, by the way, tell the logistics department that from today on you no longer need to wear the cleaning staff uniforms; instead, change into the blue uniform meant for logistics personnel." Li An thought—those cleaning staff uniforms really suited her too well.

Yan Luoxi deliberately dawdled when going to the logistics department to collect and change clothes. She had her own thoughts; Li An was busy with work, handling many matters, especially in the morning he had a tight schedule. By this afternoon, she hoped he would forget about disciplining her.

Wearing a loose and drab sky-blue uniform, Yan Luoxi returned to her seat dragging her feet, indifferent under the peculiar gazes of six beautiful secretaries at the reception desk.

She knew Li An was deliberately getting back at her, but she didn't care. There wasn’t anyone here who mattered to her anyway; a woman should adorn herself for one she loves.

Yan Luoxi thought that after so long, Li An had forgotten about her, but this time she miscalculated. As soon as she sat down at her desk, the red light on the internal line phone blinked urgently—she could only steel herself and walk into the CEO's office.

Mister Li An clearly wasn't in the mood to work today, his long legs folded up on top of the desk as he reclined back into his chair with closed eyes.

What did that mean Just because she had hung up on him earlier, now he was going to use his valuable morning time to deal with her!

"Stop standing there like an idiot, come over here and give me a head massage," Li An's domineering tone left no room for argument.

Yan Luoxi helplessly complied, moving behind Li An to massage his head. The morning sun illuminated the face of this man who possessed a rare beauty—his skin fair, features sharp and defined, with long eyelashes that made his entire appearance somewhat ethereal.

Devilishly handsome! Yan Luoxi couldn't help but purse her lips at the sight of this face that turned heads.

"Use more strength!" Li An seemed to have noticed she had zoned out and shouted at her with his eyes closed.

"Okay," Yan Luoxi focused, starting to concentrate on massaging Li An's head. This was a skill she excelled at; during the days she hadn't left the Li family compound, Li An would almost daily request this service from her.

With his eyes closed, Li An enjoyed the long-awaited comfort brought by Yan Luoxi's fingers, breathing in the faintly sweet aroma that was uniquely hers. It felt like a bouquet of flowers swaying gently, carrying an overwhelming fragrance—memories with the scent of fresh grass slowly resurfaced.

In this morning light weighed down by work, Li An suddenly recalled a song: If one day I quietly depart, please bury me in this early morning!

The phone rang at that moment; Yan Luoxi let out an inward sigh of relief and placed her aching hands aside. Li An stood up to take the call.

Li An handled business affairs with efficiency, "…Contract signing I don't have time now, postpone it… The other party might be unhappy if we push back the meeting Then tell them they can find someone else!"

Yan Luoxi stared in disbelief as Li An hung up the call sharply and then sprawled out on the desk with an order to massage his back.

Trouble indeed, whatever strength she applied today seemed to have no effect on him. She gritted her teeth, increasing her effort until she was exhausted and covered in sweat when finally, Li An frowned: "Did you not eat breakfast"

“Gurgle,” Yan Luoxi’s stomach gave a timely response for her.

Liliang was so amused by her anger that she felt better. She lazily sat up and appraised Yan Luoxi from head to toe, smiling satisfactorily, "You actually look like a Smurf!"

If Smurfs looked like this, children would definitely have nightmares at night!

Yan Luoxi understood the principle of being under someone's roof and also knew that Liliang disliked her silent and blank expression. So she pouted and nodded, trying to make her silence appear as obedience.

Liliang inexplicably found Yan Luoxi cute. Alright then, if she learned to be obedient, it would do. He asked in a drawn-out tone: "Why did you call in sick yesterday"

"There were some things at school."

"What kind of things could there be at school now"

Yan Luoxi really wanted to slap that boring handsome face. Let him ask these questions repeatedly like an old woman: "Nothing important, I resolved them all as per your instructions on the phone."

Liliang was very smart and knew that Yan Luoxi was tired of his questioning. His expression changed suddenly; he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. "You little brat! How dare you hang up on me yesterday"

The feeling of being on edge returned!

Yan Luoxi hated Liliang's unpredictable mood swings, where everything was peaceful one moment and stormy the next. That was why she didn't like staying with him; it felt as if there was a bomb waiting to explode at any time.

Liliang’s grip on her wrist hurt her. As she tried to pull away, she paid for her reckless behavior: "I'm sorry! I acted impulsively yesterday and I apologize again... Mr Liliang."

The term 'Mr Liliang' brought back memories of the previous day; Liliang's eyes narrowed with displeasure. He looked at her fluttering eyelashes and delicate nose, gritting his teeth: "Yan Luoxi, dare you call me Mr Liliang again"

This embrace was restraining and domineering; his moist breath caressed her face, making the air seem dangerous. Yan Luoxi was flustered and dared not look at Liliang, calling out quietly: "Second Brother..."

Before she could finish speaking, her chin was caught by Liliang who then lifted her face to meet his hot kiss. Yan Luoxi’s eyes widened in shock; fear rose rapidly in her heart.

Lian's kiss was urgent and forceful, full of intensity and desire, disregarding Yan Luoxi's fear and shivering. As she kept pushing back, he followed her closely; whenever she retreated further, he pursued relentlessly, as if there were no next moment to waste, until finally pressing her against the desk with nowhere else for her to go.

The back of Yan Luoxi hit the hard edge of the desk, causing her muscles to hurt and her bun at the nape of her neck to press painfully. She was trapped in an awkward position on Lian's office desk, unable to speak out or call for help since her mouth was firmly sealed.

Lian’s large hand moved up along her waistline, tracing the contours of her chest, while his agile and supple tongue finally let go of her lips, greedily moving downwards.

Yan Luoxi's repressed breath turned into panting. She wasn't surprised by Lian’s passion and impulsiveness; she knew how unrestrained he could be in this aspect. Even though they were in the office with constant footsteps heard outside the door, nothing could stop him from indulging himself recklessly.

Lian feared no one but the world, yet Yan Luoxi did fear. As Lian started to unbutton her uniform piece by piece, his scorching palm slipped into her bra and covered her heaving chest, fingers lightly pinching and pressing at the top.

"Stop it! Please stop!" Yan Luoxi cried out in embarrassment and anger. Zhou Guangtao's warm face flickered before her eyes, black pupils narrowing slightly with a smile playing on his lips.

Lian’s actions grew wilder and he refused to heed her protests; like a soldier who had burned his boats behind him, he only pushed forward, ignoring all resistance. Yan Luoxi felt his hands pulling down her pants, realizing that she was truly going mad.

She struggled with every limb, kicking and punching, but this seemed to further provoke Lian's frenzy, making his body approach the point of no return even faster as he hastened to consume her completely.

Frustrated by her own feeble strength, Yan Luoxi seized a random item on the desk in desperation. With all her might, she struck him over the head; a muffled thud was followed by Lian’s forehead bleeding.

Lian finally ceased his movements, wiping his face with one hand and staring at it as blood trickled down from his forehead. His eyes blazed with fury when he saw the red liquid on his palm.

"You dare hit me Are you looking for death" His hand raised high in anger. Yan Luoxi shut her eyes in terror, her complexion pale. She had actually broken Lian's head!

The expected pain never came; upon opening her eyes, she saw that Lian had withdrawn his arm, though the anger still shone in his eyes alongside a hurt and pained expression. "Do you hate me so much Did you know this ashtray could kill"

Yan Luoxi’s body stiffened as she realized what she held was a crystal ashtray; she had caused serious trouble.

Lian no longer paid her any attention, getting up and entering the bathroom inside to retrieve a clean towel for his wound.hou Guangtao sighed in self-reproach. "Luoxi, I'm sorry for neglecting you these days and causing you pain. Today, I acted so unreasonable, I'm truly sorry... "I'm sorry, my dear. Zhou Guangtao though...
