Chapter 15: A Night of Intimacy

em simple but are actually complicated."Luoxi..." Schuyler Liping was surprised to see tears falling down Yan Luoxi's fair face. "Why are you crying Don't worry about Mom, I'm fine...""Mom...I...Alas!...Chapter 15: A Night of Intimacy

Yan Luoxi walked towards Zhou Guangtao's office and felt that everyone seemed to be looking at her strangely along the way. She looked down at herself; her clothes were tidy, so what was going on Could it be that they had noticed her relationship with Zhou Guangtao.

She couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. If people knew about their relationship, then some wouldn’t dare to act too brazenly anymore.

The first time the office was decorated, since Zhou Guangtao was busy at work, Yan Luoxi had handled it all herself. The space matched black and white colors, elegant and simple.

To avoid any misunderstandings, Zhou Guangtao rarely invited Yan Luoxi to his office.

The moment Yan Luoxi entered Zhou Guangtao's office, she saw him standing by the window with his back turned towards her on a phone call. She didn’t disturb him and instead walked around the office looking here and there. She noticed a beige cushion placed on the black leather chair, decorated with patterns of narcissus flowers—a clear mismatch to Zhou Guangtao’s usual style.

Her gaze lingered briefly on that cushion.

"Sit down!" When Zhou Guangtao finished his call and turned around, he smiled warmly at her before pointing towards the sofa.

Seeing that Zhou Guangtao seemed to be in a good mood, Yan Luoxi felt relieved. Seeing the door was shut tight, she took two steps forward, wrapped her arms around Zhou Guangtao's waist and said sweetly, "Where did you go last night I missed you!"

Zhou Guangtao stroked her head with his hand, saying apologetically, "Sorry, there were some urgent matters at the company last night. I left hurriedly without letting you know. What did you do last night

Yan Luoxi hugged his waist and pulled out a prepared excuse: "After you left last night, I didn't feel like eating alone, so I didn't eat dinner. I just had some snacks and watched a movie before going to sleep!"

The Zhou Guangtao beside her remained silent for quite some time, puzzling Yan Luoxi who looked up at him.

She saw that the gaze he shot her was as deep and dark as an ocean, filled with contemplation, as if she were a strange creature.

"Brother Guangtao, what’s wrong with you" A bit nervous and scared, Yan Luoxi asked.

“Luoxi, am I really that unworthy of your trust” Zhou Guangtao's expression was one of fury and pain mixed together.

"No... no!" Realizing the situation was getting serious, Yan Luoxi gradually let go of Zhou Guangtao’s waist.

Zhou Guangtao couldn't help but sneer; his whole body shook as he walked to the table and turned on the laptop. "Today's news put you on the front page. You probably haven’t seen it, which is why you continue lying!"

Yan Luoxi stared at the computer screen in disbelief.

The cover headline was written in large red characters: "Mysterious Female Companion of Male Star Ran Xu Makes Her Appearance; Spent an Entire Night Together."

There were two sets of photos, one taken during the night and another during the day. Each set included timestamps, locations, people involved, and images.

The group of nighttime photos shows dim streetlights illuminating Ran Xu's doorstep. Dressed in pajamas, Ran Xu warmly embraces me at the door as I enter from outside. Although my face is blurry, people who know me can still recognize me immediately.

The photos must have been secretly taken when I went to deliver medicine to Ran Xu last night.

In another scene this morning, with somewhat disheveled hair, I hurriedly left Ran Xu's house. Soon after, wearing only sleep pants and draped in a casual jacket, Ran Xu followed me out and drove off with me.

The author exaggerated the time details of when Yan Luoxi arrived at and left Ran Xu's place, suggesting that both were disheveled and appeared intimate, implying they spent the entire night together!

Yan Luoxi felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow; her head spun. She looked up at Zhou Guangtao with an ashen face, swallowing hard before murmuring, "Brother Guangtao... I..."

She didn't know what to say; she wanted to explain but felt guilty about the lie she had just told.

Zhou Guangtao stared at her intently, his eyelids trembling uncontrollably. The anger in his eyes nearly eclipsed the dark irises, and he said through gritted teeth: "You two are so eager to meet that you do it minute by minute You're rushing like this"

Yan Luoxi's heart skipped a beat; she hastily explained: "It’s not what they’re saying. After you left last night, Ran Xu called me and said he had a fever and needed medicine!"

Zhou Guangtao's facial muscles twitched as his eyes darkened. Pointing at the images on the computer screen, he asked, "Delivering medicine So that’s why you two were hugging Delivering medicine is enough reason for you to spend a whole night together"

"We didn't do anything! I really just went to deliver his medicine. He likes to joke around; when I arrived, he hugged me as a greeting. Later on, since his condition worsened and he wanted company, I stayed because... he did have a fever in the middle of the night... Brother Guangtao, please don’t misunderstand us..." Yan Luoxi was at a loss, her eyes welling up with tears.

She knew that everything she said wouldn't be convincing. Last night, she had indeed been任性, and she shouldn't have stayed at Ran Xu's house. She hadn't anticipated the consequences would be so severe.

Zhou Guangtao's dark eyes narrowed dangerously. "Luoxi, even if what you say is true, and you are just ordinary friends, it was my fault for misunderstanding your relationship without thinking clearly. But why did you lie when I asked you earlier"

"Ah!" Yan Luoxi hurriedly apologized for her foolish lie. "Sorry, Brother Guangtao, I didn't mean to deceive you! I know you don't like me interacting with Ran Xu, so I lied out of fear that you would get angry!"

Zhou Guangtao gritted his teeth and couldn't hold back his anger anymore. "Luoxi, when I choose not to reveal everything, it's not because I'm indulging or encouraging you in any way, but as a sign of my respect for you. Does tearing off the mask and openly discussing things serve any purpose

But apparently, I misunderstood your intentions. From the incident with Li An onwards, you've repeatedly lied to me, continuing until now. You keep using this method to fool me.

Your initial behavior in front of me was as if there were no connection between you and Li An at all; but look what happened! And now you say you have no relationship with Ran Xu—what's the truth

Yan Luoxi, is it amusing to treat me like a fool"

Yan Luoxi froze, tears hanging on her eyelashes. Zhou Guangtao’s outburst was like a resounding slap in the face, leaving her dizzy and filled with shame, causing her heart pain as if cut by a knife.

The hand she held began to tremble involuntarily—Zhou Guangtao still hadn't forgotten about her involvement with Li An. That was an indelible stain on her life that could be pulled out at any time as a negative example for discussion.

"Brother Guangtao..." Yan Luoxi's voice trembled, and tears fell from her eyes in droves.s bodies better than she knows her own. She thinks that as long as Li An gives her a chance to show what she can do, he will be enchanted by her.The only thing currently worrying Lulu is Li An's unpre...
