Sitting on Ran Xu's sofa, Yan Luoxi had a rather absent-minded look. She was completely stunned by Li An's words.

She didn't expect Li An to be so proactive that he actually came all the way down to her building. Frowning with difficulty, she negotiated with him, "If you have something to say, just speak up. I've already gone to bed and won't come downstairs."

"Don't make excuses!" Li An's fiery temper flared up, his tone brusque, "It's not even late, yet you're already in bed! Are you a pig"

Yan Luoxi wanted to casually admit being a pig but suddenly remembered an instance when she had confessed to being a dog in front of Li An. He promptly responded by saying that she shouldn't praise herself anymore. She strained her eyes wide, battling wave after wave of dizziness. "I'm tired and don't want to go downstairs. Is that alright, Second Young Master"

"Fine." To Yan Luoxi's surprise, Li An was rather accommodating this time around. "If you don’t want to come down, I’ll climb up instead. What do you want to eat Fruits or snacks"

Saying these words, Li An struggled to suppress his laughter from spilling over. Would this little girl find it troublesome if she heard him talk like that

He imagined her petite face contorting with worry and confusion, and felt genuinely content.

"How could you come to my house!" Yan Luoxi sucked in a breath of air, having known all along that this scoundrel couldn’t be trifled with. Look, he had already started causing trouble at her doorstep!

With leisurely ease, Li An asked, "Why can't I come to your house You're my sister; whether it was in the past or now, you are still my sister. Why is there a problem for me to visit"

Yan Luoxi felt speechless and wanted to ask heaven how she should deal with this rival!

"Yan Luoxi, what's your decision Do I go up or do you come down" After waiting for a while, seeing that Yan Luoxi was pretending to be dead, Li An’s voice began to reveal impatience.

"You can't come up, and I can't go down," Yan Luoxi said firmly.

"What do you mean" Li An raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not at home."

A mocking laughter came from the other end of the phone, "Little dead brat, who are you trying to fool The light in your house is on!"

Yan Luoxi felt a pang in her heart. Zhou Guangtao finally returned early, but only when she wasn't home! Did he bring He Yufan back with him!

"Speak up! What's wrong Are you at a loss for words now that your lie has been exposed You lying scoundrel, I'm going upstairs right now to reveal the ugly truth!" Li An's tone was aggressive.

"Don't come upstairs!" Yan Luoxi took in a deep breath, feeling as if her lungs were stuffed and there was no room for air. "I... really wasn't at home. The person who is at home is... Zhou Guangtao!"

Mentioning Zhou Guangtao's name now made Yan Luoxi's heart ache deeply; her voice trembled.

Li An caught the unusual tone in Yan Luoxi's voice and became instantly alert, "Did you argue with Zhou Guangtao Where are you"

This man really was clever. Yan Luoxi resignedly admitted, "I'm outside."

"Don't try to play games with me; I know you're outside. Tell me exactly where you are!" Li An's volume suddenly rose sharply, sounding incredibly stern.

Yan Luoxi couldn't help but shiver in fear, clearly hearing the sound of grinding teeth from Li An.

She turned to look at the kitchen, where Ran Xu was bent over and busy. The stove was steaming hot. She mustered up her courage and said, "Where I am has nothing to do with you. Is there anything else If not, I'll hang up!"

Lǐ n's tone came with uneasy breathing, "Have you thought this through I'm giving you another chance now. Tell me where you are immediately."

Yán Luòxī truly couldn't stand Lǐ ān’s arrogance and dictatorship. She answered heroically, "No." Then she cut the call abruptly, thinking it wasn’t enough, so she turned off her phone.

When Lǐ n heard Yán Luòxī hang up on him, he panted in anger. He immediately called her back again, only to find that she had switched off her phone.

Damned girl, daring to cut my call!

"SHIT!" Lǐ n slammed his fist onto the steering wheel and spat out a word from between clenched teeth. He hated himself for being so clever for the first time in his life.

He had been busy with his own matters, only to be absent at the critical moment. Thinking about where Yán Luòxī might have gone made him pant even more furiously. Perhaps he really ended up doing things for others, giving that Ran Xu a chance to show off his loyalty and letting him steal the limelight.

With a complex mood, Lǐ n placed a call in a low but sinister voice, "Find out where Yán Luòxī is right now, as well as the whereabouts of that Ran Xu."

Afraid of attracting attention from Lǐ Hào Nán and his brother, Lǐ n did not dare to buy property here. He only used a friend’s name to book a long-term suite at a five-star hotel.

He returned to the hotel with a grim face, and his personal butler immediately made him a cup of green tea that filled the room with its fragrance and steam.

Lǐ n had just taken off his coat when he received another call. "Young Master An, Miss Yán is at Ran Xu's seaside villa. He’s there too."

He angrily swept his hand, causing the teacup to crash and shatter on the floor with a clattering sound, leaving wet tea leaves stuck to the coffee table.

Lì An paced back and forth in the room like a mad caged animal.

This was truly a case of perfect planning except for one flaw; how could he have failed to secure Yán Luòxī at that critical moment He had overestimated her patience and devotion to Zhōu Kuàngtāo. He thought she would still endure the situation, feigning indifference for some time, but instead, she had reacted so swiftly!

No woman had ever made him work as hard as this one; these days, he meticulously planned every move, neither getting too close nor too distant from her, never being overly kind or cruel to her, ensuring that she wouldn’t be alarmed while also not forgetting about him.

He was waiting for the moment when Yán Luòxī would expose Zhōu Kuàngtāo’s scandal with Hé Yǔfán. When she needed comfort most, he intended to appear by her side; once Zhōu Kuàngtāo was out of the picture, he would be the only person she could rely on.

But then Rǎn Xù appeared unexpectedly.

Lì An was furious and fell back onto the bed, pulling out a cigarette box to light up as deeply inhaling.

Even someone as clever as he had underestimated this situation. His efforts were almost thwarted by Rǎn Xù gaining an opportunity in such a way.

This infuriated him immensely.

And what about that brat Usually, he appeared loyal to Zhōu Kuàngtāo, but this time, how could he have made the decision so decisively and cut ties with Zhōu Kuàngtāo According to Lì An's calculations, Yán Luòxī should have pretended for a while longer.

Lì An got up from bed, rushed to the safe, and retrieved an envelope containing recent investigation reports on Rǎn Xù. He needed to study this person thoroughly now; he had to review everything meticulously because in the next step, he could not afford any more setbacks. full of needle marks from intravenous injections.
