rapid desires piling up one after another, causing his throat to feel as if blood was rising."Luoxi... baby... I want... I really want...""Do you want it" Yan Luoxi flirtatiously smiled at Lian An."Wa...Volume 4: Fatal Love Web Chapter 52: Haze of Affection Unworry Chinese Network

He glared at the villa with some hostility, wishing he could blow it up if possible.

Yan Luoxi sneaked out of the car and tried her hardest to pull the heavy suitcase out from inside the vehicle.

Lǐ An saw how eager she was to leave and felt annoyed. He got out of the car, dragged Yan Luoxi's luggage box to the front door without much pleasantness, then looked at her as she hung her head in front of him, sighing, "Don't be foolish and believe everything others say; think for yourself. Don't end up helping someone count their money after they've sold you."

Lǐ An's stern warning cut deeper into Yan Luoxi than his previous sarcastic remarks had. Her eyes inexplicably welled up with tears. She murmured a goodbye to Lǐ An and dragged the large suitcase inside, shutting the door behind her as if she'd just unloaded a heavy burden from her shoulders. She fell back onto the sofa.

The crystal chandelier on the ceiling and the sunlight streaming in filled the room with dazzling reflections; yet Yan Luoxi suddenly felt oppressed.

Even though she didn't want to listen to Lǐ An's advice, his warnings kept ringing in her ears. Why did Rán Xù like her She had been pondering this question as well.

The key was self-awareness. As Yan Luoxi accepted Rán Xù’s care and affection, she repeatedly questioned herself about what it was that he found attractive in her.

Yan Luoxi never in a million years imagined that she would meet such a famous, red-hot movie star, let alone be fervently pursued by this dazzling celebrity who showered her with meticulous attention and affection.

She leaned on the sofa, thinking to herself how fortunate she was. As soon as she broke up with Zhou Guangtao, a man like this appeared in her life. If she hadn't gone through these experiences, if she weren’t cautious by nature, and without Li An’s reminders, perhaps she would have truly opened her heart to Ruan Xu.

But the reality was that she knew herself too well, and after enduring Li An's hot-and-cold warnings, her doubts and concerns grew even greater.

Yan Luoxi leaned on the sofa, thinking about these worrisome matters, gradually falling asleep.

When Ruan Xu returned, Yan Luoxi was still dozing off on the sofa, breathing evenly. Her eyes were half-open and half-closed; long eyelashes rested on her somewhat haggard and pale face. Occasionally, there would be slight tremors almost imperceptible to the eye. She had her delicate eyebrows tightly knitted together, clearly indicating that she was deeply troubled—looking at her made one feel particularly heartbroken.

He moved his hand, intending to stroke her face and brow to soothe her worries.

Just as Ruan Xu’s hand was about to touch Yan Luoxi's face, he suddenly froze mid-air. Subconsciously turning his eyes, the dark glass on the coffee table clearly reflected his expression, which carried an affection and tenderness even he hadn’t noticed.

He abruptly lowered his hand, turned around, walked briskly to the bedside, breathing heavily for quite some time before returning to the room to fetch a thin blanket for Yan Luoxi, gently laying it over her.

Even though Ruan Xu's movements were light, as soon as the blanket touched Yan Luoxi, she immediately woke up. With wide, somewhat panicked eyes, she looked at Ruan Xu before her as if he were a stranger.

"Luoxi, I saw you sleeping and wanted to cover you with a blanket," Ruan Xu hurriedly explained when he noticed her expression.

"Oh." Yan Luoxi came to her senses and looked around, spotting her large suitcase. She nodded at Ran Xu. "You're back. I'll go back to my room to sort out my clothes."

"Foolish girl," said Ran Xu, patting her head. "What do I have that's urgent I'm going to prepare dinner now."

Yan Luoxi nodded and pulled her suitcase back to her room.

She opened the suitcase intending to take out clothes and hang them in the wardrobe, but she suddenly hesitated. Is this really my home Can I truly live here without reservation

Yan Luoxi sat on the floor in deep thought, Li An's voice ringing in her ears, making her increasingly uncertain about her feelings for Ran Xu.

Sitting and contemplating, she considered going to her only remaining relative, her mother. But after a moment of thought, she dismissed it; despite their recent reconciliation, there was still a distance between them from years of separation.

Since running away secretly from the Li family, she had managed to live independently. She decided that in the end, she needed to talk to Zhou Guangtao and ask him to move out as soon as possible so she could sell the house full of memories. Then she would buy another smaller place elsewhere. This way, she'd have somewhere to stay and still have some extra money until she found a job.

Thinking about this, Yan Luoxi couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude. Even after so many years, she still needed the Li family's protection to live well.

Ran Xu had finished preparing dinner and saw that Yan Luoxi hadn't come out yet. He knocked on the door, which was slightly open, revealing her large suitcase untouched in its place and Yan Luoxi sitting lost in thought.

"Luo Xi."

"Ah." Yan LuoXi was surprised and looked up.

"Dinner is ready. Let's eat," Ran Xu called softly.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Yan LuoXi hurried to wash her hands.

That whole night, Yan LuoXi had been seriously distracted. Initially, Ran Xu thought it was because she had returned to the place where she used to live with Zhou Guangtao and had been triggered, hence her absent-mindedness. After eating, he noticed that Yan LuoXi looked thoughtful while watching TV and finally realized something was amiss. He touched her forehead; her temperature seemed normal.

"What's wrong, Luo Xi" Ran Xu squatted down in front of Yan LuoXi with a gentle voice: "Are you not feeling well or is there something troubling you"

"I'm fine." Yan LuoXi shook her head.

"Just give me two days. I've already started rearranging my schedule today. By the day after tomorrow at the latest, I can take you away from this heartbreaking place and we'll go out to clear our minds."

Ran Xu's tone was very soft, but Yan LuoXi shivered hearing it. She quickly said, "Ran Xu, let's not rush to leave yet. I... I want to think more about our relationship.at and pushed it towards Sun Liangliang.
