Chapter 25 Big Brother, You're So Great
d at Li An before thinking that even without Li An’s interference, she seemed unable to take on the responsibility of running a company; the title of strong woman had nothing to do with her."Elder Bro...Chapter 25: Big Brother, You're So Great
The Second Young Master of the Li family held his phone and was in an exceptionally good mood, "Luoxi, where are you now Let's meet up to talk!" His voice was cautious, trying hard not to burst into laughter.
Yan Luoxi closed her eyes and recalled Sun Zijun’s hateful face and her mother's heartbroken appearance. With a heroic attitude of sacrificing herself for others, she answered Li An, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Luoxi repeatedly instructed the household staff to call her if her mother woke up, and absolutely not allow her mother to go out alone. Only after getting assurances from the staff did she head off to Li An's appointment.
When Yan Luoxi arrived, Li An was already sitting quietly in the tea room with a cup of red tea steaming fragrantly. He looked at her indifferently; Yan Luoxi casually glanced around the tea room and found the bright and spacious environment soothing.
"Big Brother, I'm sorry. It's hard to find a cab, so I made you wait." When she needed something from someone, Yan Luoxi’s words were still sweet, her eyes lively.
Li An picked up his teacup and drank several cups of tea before suppressing the excitement in his heart. Calmly, he pointed to a chair beside him, "Sit down."
Yan Luoxi was overjoyed; it was rare for Li An not to mock or scowl at her.
"What did you want to talk about on the phone" Li An picked up another cup of tea and sipped slowly.
The handsome man drinking tea in front of her looked like a beautiful painting. Seizing the opportunity while Li An was in a good mood, Yan Luoxi quickly said, "Sun Liangliang’s father wants to divorce my mother. I want you to think of a way to stop him from divorcing her!"
"Cough… you…!" Li An was choked by the tea and kept coughing until his face turned red. "You... why would you come to me for something like this!"
"That day, you were the one who told me that no matter what happens, I can always find you."
Li An was left speechless by Yan Luoxi's innocent expression. "So when your uncle is divorcing your mom, you come to me Do you think I’m God!"
Seeing Li An’s clear and gentle eyes looking at her like she was a little animal, full of affection, Yan Luoxi gained courage. "Right, you, the second young master Li, an unbeatably handsome man in the universe, dealing with that incorrigible old bastard Sun Zhijun should be as easy as squashing an ant or frying a bug!"
Li An was amused by Yan Luoxi’s words and laughed despite himself. His narrow but bright eyes glinted mysteriously; he flicked her forehead with his index finger without much force, saying, "Little dead puppy, don’t flatter me so highly!"
This was the kind of Li An that Yan Luoxi liked best—someone who was neither too distant nor too close to her and didn't treat her particularly well or poorly. She felt like a little girl in front of him and wanted to be a bit stubborn. "Second Brother, think of something to help me. If Sun Zhijun divorces my mom, she might go crazy."
Li An squinted his beautiful phoenix eyes at Yan Luoxi’s pouting lips as if she were whining like a child; he softened slightly and said gently, "Tell me what the situation is first!"
"Okay." Yan Luoxi nodded and began to recount her mother's situation with Sun Zhijun.
Li An took out a cigarette, lit it, and listened as she spoke. Occasionally he would nod or make some affirmative sounds; most of the time, he seemed more like an attentive listener than someone who was actively participating.
Seeing Li An’s indifferent expression, Yan Luoxi didn’t know if he would help her. She started to panic a little. "Second Brother, please help me! Your girlfriend is Sun Lingling; surely you don't want to see her family fall apart!
Lian's expression suddenly changed, and he coldly glanced at Yan Luoxi, saying, "She no longer needs to be breastfed; being away from your mother won't affect her."
Yan Luoxi felt embarrassed by Lian’s retort. Her hands, which were intertwined on the table, twisted anxiously together, making her knuckles turn white. "If... if you can’t help me, don’t torment yourself. I’ll leave..."
The moment she stood up, Lian grabbed her and forced her back into the chair. He looked at her with deep, dark eyes, saying, "You little brat, your temper is quite big; there’s no way you could beg like this. Before I even had a chance to say yes or no, you were about to run away!"
Yan Luoxi bit her lip and felt wronged as her eyes welled up with tears. How could he still be so inscrutable after what she just said!
Lian sighed softly, his gaze warming but his voice still somewhat stiff, "I really owe you from a past life!"
Hearing this, Yan Luoxi felt that there might be hope. She lifted her small face and flattered him with thick skin, "Second Brother, I knew all along that nothing is impossible for you."
"Wrong." Lian narrowed his phoenix eyes and pointed at her, looking disappointed as he said, "I can’t manage you."
Yan Luoxi was about to be enraged with shame when Lian chuckled and lifted her up like she was a little chick. "Fool, I’m just playing with you. Come on, I’ll send you home."
Even though he called her a fool, Yan Luoxi was still delighted because she felt that today’s Lian behaved much more normally.
He made some small jokes with her; although his words were somewhat inappropriate, they fit his vicious nature. He agreed to help her after a mental struggle, which fell within the realm of normal thinking. The thing that pleased Yan Luoxi most was that Lian didn’t cling onto her like he used to.
"Go back and comfort your auntie, tell her not to worry yet. I'll find a way to solve this issue as soon as possible." Before Yan Luoxi got off the car, Li An humanely reassured her with a charming smile that was as beautiful as peaches in bloom.
This angel-like Li An could not help but move Yan Luoxi; she truly felt so lucky to have such a versatile second elder brother!
"Elder Brother, you're so good. Thank you." Grateful and sincere, Yan Luoxi got off the car and waved at Li An inside the car.
Li An's expression visibly shook before he waved back at Yan Luoxi, "We're family; no need to be formal about it." With a swift turn of the accelerator, the car sped away without hesitation.
Having known Li An for over ten years, Yan Luoxi was seeing him in a whole new light today, finding him incredibly lovable.
Bounding and skipping back to her mother's place, she went upstairs where she saw that her mother was already up. Her face was carefully made up and she seemed to be changing clothes as if she were about to go out.
"Mom, where are you going" Yan Luoxi anxiously held onto Xue Liping's hand.
"I'm going to find Sun Zhijun." Xue Liping narrowed her eyes slightly, radiating a crazed excitement from being provoked.
"Mom, don't go looking for Uncle Sun yet. He already told me today that he actually doesn't want a divorce with you; what he said before was just to pacify the woman over there."
"Really" Surprise flashed in Xue Liping's eyes.reeted her. Around her were business professionals in sharp suits rushing to work, each appearing vibrant and energetic during their conversations, causing Xue Liping to secretly smile with satisfacti...
