Show Meizhuo can accept Li An liking women who are sweet and demure, like Tian Tian—ladies from reputable families with graceful manners, befitting his status. However, she cannot accept him being attracted to someone as domineering and unreasonable as herself, especially if this woman is neither wealthy nor good-looking.

Or perhaps her acute intuition tells her that Li An would marry into a rich and powerful family for strategic reasons, marry an actress or model for status, but if he marries a poor and stubborn woman, it must be out of genuine affection.

What she cannot have, no one else can have. She doesn’t want anyone to win Li An's heart.

Syao Junhe glanced sideways at Show Meizhuo, the corners of his lips curling slightly before he straightened up and said seriously to Li An, "Since you’ve truly met someone who’s close to your heart, as an older brother, I can’t interfere. You also need to learn to cherish her. When you feel it's time, bring her out for us all to meet. That way, I can give my account of the situation to Uncle Li and Aunt."

Li An knew that Syao Junhe was speaking specifically to Show Meizhuo, so he smiled gratefully at him.

Show Meizhuo, on the other hand, paid no attention whatsoever to what her brother was saying. Clenching her teeth inwardly, she vowed: this little fox who’s hiding somewhere unknown—I will find you and disfigure your face!

The little fox spirit, who had been secretly cursed by Shao Meizhuo to transform ten thousand times, gritted her teeth and went to work on Monday morning. Just as she was worrying about how to continue working with Li An, the HR manager called her over.

The HR manager was a shrewd middle-aged man who always had a smile on his face and treated everyone kindly. He first complimented Yan Luoxi's recent work performance sincerely, but his words made her break out in cold sweat; she felt that her days of loafing around were truly unworthy of praise!

Usually, after praising an idle person like herself, the boss would follow with a "but," turning everything around and leading to her dismissal.

Yan Luoxi was both anxious and curious about how the HR manager would conclude this awkward situation. To her surprise, however, he turned out to be quite decisive: "…Yan Luoxi, given your outstanding performance recently, you will start working in the Planning Department from today!"

The HR manager's words were like a thunderclap for Yan Luoxi. She was still reeling when she entered the office of the Planning Department's manager.

For an ordinary university graduate like Yan Luoxi, being assigned to the Planning Department at Anrui International was already quite a promotion; and with the smiling gaze and warm words from the department manager, she felt even more honored.

The manager of the Planning Department was Fang Shinen, who needed just one character change to become "Shaolin's Ten Tigers." He was in his late forties with deep furrows on his forehead that made him look stern. However, when he looked at Yan Luoxi, his gaze was wandering and there was a slight smile on his face.

Yan Luoxi knew that the person sitting in this position, no matter how serious and proper he appeared to be, was also skilled at dealing with people. He must have sensed her somewhat special relationship with Li An, which is why he treated her so amicably.

The planning department manager arranged Yan Luoxi to sit in an external cubicle, temporarily handling some scattered tasks. Sitting in her own cubicle after many days of working at Aoni International, she finally felt a sense of work today.

Soon after settling down, Yan Luoxi started going through the files on hand, wanting to quickly immerse herself into this unfamiliar job. However, people would frequently walk past her and even make up reasons to say a few words to her from time to time.

Females are especially sensitive in such situations, especially someone like Yan Luoxi who felt somewhat guilty. She was very clear about her delicate position within the company since she started working as the tea lady beside Li An on that day.

The planning department was new to Yan Luoxi, but not vice versa. The planning department of Aoni International was large with a heavy workload; those who worked here had strong professional abilities and were mostly women.

These proud 'career women' had long heard about Yan Luoxi's name from that company-wide scandal several days ago and were secretly observing her now, wanting to see what kind of extraordinary capabilities the woman who had been by their "dream lover" Li An's side for so many days possessed.

Just as Yan Luoxi was feeling uneasy under the intentional or unintentional scrutiny from her colleagues, Fang Shnian called her in and handed her a stack of documents, saying without even looking up: "Take this to General Manager Li for me!"

Yan Luoxi walked into the elevator with a serious expression, under her colleagues' odd gazes. What was Fang Shining up to He seemed to be well-versed in human relations, but didn't he know that her situation was awkward and that she was the least suitable person to have any connection with Li An Yet here he sent her over to deliver documents!

Only when Yan Luoxi sat on the sofa in the president's office eating an egg tart did she realize her naivety. It wasn't because Fang Shining didn't understand the situation, but rather that he was too slick and adept at navigating it!

When Yan Luoxi knocked on President Li An’s door, he was busy on a call. He glanced up at her and gestured for her to come over. Not knowing his intentions, she felt nervous and took a long time to move.

While talking on the phone, Li An reached under his desk and took out a box of milk and a box of egg tarts. With his finger, he pointed at them and gestured for her to take them over to the sofa and eat them.

Hungry, Yan Luoxi's mouth watered as she looked at the appetizing snacks in front of her. But recalling the strange gazes from her colleagues earlier, she had a sense of pride and pushed the items back, quietly asking, "President Li, do you have anything else If not, I'll leave."

Her attitude made Li An’s teeth itch with frustration. Suddenly impatient, he raised his voice and speeded up his speech on the phone; the call ended quickly. He hung up and suppressed his temper to bark at her in a low voice, "Aren't you calling me President Li Then you have to listen to what I say. If I tell you to eat, then you eat."

Yan Luoxi was left speechless by him and could only take the food and drink unwillingly to sit on a nearby sofa. She quickly swallowed everything down; when Li An saw her put the straw of milk into her mouth, he raised one corner of his lips slightly before lowering his head back to read documents.ng' call and immediately got ready for a beating as they appeared before Li Haonan.Li Haonan calmly undressed and started asking, "Li An, when you were at home, did you forcefully possess Yan Luoxi, b...
