jump in pain, but she was held back by him.Unable to bear it or escape from it, her tender body hurt as if being burned by a raging fire. She couldn't help screaming out loud, yet the moment any sound...Chapter 34 (Part 1) Strip Down
From Yan Luoxi's position, the surroundings were vast fields stretching far and near. Occasionally, some blurry dark shadows appeared, which were scattered rural cottages; however, their outlines had become indistinct in the heavy rain.
After being battered by this sudden downpour, every part of her body was utterly exhausted. She lay on the ground with continuous rainwater dripping into her mouth and nose, making it seem as though she could hardly breathe, as if death would come at any moment.
Just when she felt hopeless and wanted to close her eyes, a car approached from afar. Its headlights pierced through the rain curtain, looking exceptionally bright.
Yan Luoxi didn't have much hope left; in the pouring rain, she weakly waved her hand, unsure whether this tiny gesture would catch anyone's attention inside the vehicle.
Fortunately, someone noticed her. The car sped toward her and suddenly braked beside her, causing waves of water to splash onto Yan Luoxi almost hitting her face.
Yan Luoxi didn't have time for curses; she gratefully looked up at the car door that had opened in the rain.
A tall man stepped out of the vehicle. The heavy rain instantly drenched his high-end casual wear. Through the rain curtain, Yan Luoxi carefully observed and when she recognized who it was, she wished she could immediately dive into a nearby sewer drain.
Lǐ njū stood high above, looking down at Yán Luòxī who was crouching on the ground with a pale face and a disheveled appearance. Filled with hatred, he gritted his teeth but didn’t have time to scold her before bending down to lift her out of the puddle and quickly putting her in the back seat of the car.
Finally able to sit inside the warm and comfortable car, Yán Luòxī couldn't help letting out a soft sigh. Lǐ njū got into the car afterwards, frowning when he saw that she was still trembling.
With a gloomy expression, he turned on the heater and silently took off his dry undershirt without saying anything, handing it back to Yán Luòxī: "Take off all your clothes and put this shirt on."
"Ah!" Drenched by the heavy rain, Yán Luòxī's mind wasn't functioning well, but she still knew that she shouldn't casually take off her clothes in front of a man, especially him. Even though her soaked clothing was dripping water onto the leather seats forming puddles, she weakly shook her head: "No need, I’m already drenched anyway."
"Idiot! Stop arguing with me!" Lǐ njū finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore. His face had originally been grim but now turned even more pale as he shouted at Yán Luòxī, “I repeatedly warned you not to trust Rǎn Xù lightly. You wouldn’t listen; fine, I could’ve waited for just two days and given you proof. Instead, you foolishly eloped with another man again! How can you be so foolish Why do you believe others so easily Now you've been fooled again, are you going to admit it now”
Seeing Lǐ njū’s contemptuous and enraged expression as if he was looking at a hated enemy, Yán Luòxī suddenly became furious too. She pointed her finger at him: "What right do you have to scold me Everything is because of you. You are the source of all evil; it's your fault that Rǎn Xù’s childhood sweetheart died, and it's your fault for hurting his heart and making him seek revenge…"
She wanted to say more but her voice choked up as tears streamed down her face.
"You are truly looking for faults to blame others!" Li An was furious and slapped away Yan Luoxi's accusing finger from his nose. "Foolish woman, do you know the truth of the matter Yet here you are, dictating to me!
The woman surnamed Mei met me at a gathering with friends and fell in love with me. She thought that her looks would be enough for me to look at her differently if she were willing to lower herself.
That period was when you secretly ran away. I couldn't stand any women, so I never even looked at her. No matter how much she tried to curry favor with me, I didn't want anything to do with it.
She grew up alongside Ran Xu like childhood sweethearts, and later on, when he found out about this, she felt humiliated and hopeless, so she committed suicide by jumping off a building. From start to finish, I never paid her much attention or touched her. She wanted to die herself; what does it have to do with me"
Li An's eyes were reddening as he panted angrily. "If you're like Ran Xu and insist on blaming someone for the woman's death in an unreasonable way, I might even say that she died because of you!"
"M-Me What do I have to do with it" Yan Luoxi looked at Li An in surprise.
“Back then, your running away made me feel hopeless and caused me not to care about any women. If you hadn't run away, perhaps I would have had hope for love again and accepted the woman's advances. Then she wouldn't have died, and none of this would be happening today!"
Yan Luoxi rolled her eyes and didn’t want to listen to Li An’s nonsense. She didn’t feel up to arguing with him anymore either. She pulled back slightly, hugging herself as if cold, her left cheek pressed against the chair's backrest.
She looks really pitiful right now, her face is pale with a greenish tinge, and there's no color in her lips. Her hair sticks to her face due to the moisture, and she has dark circles under her eyes with long wet eyelashes.
Might be because of the cold, her whole body trembles uncontrollably; she curls up into a ball like a little shrimp.
Lǐ n sighed softly and turned around to try his best to lower the anger in his voice while persuading her earnestly, "Take off your wet clothes. It will take some time before we get back to the city center; you'll fall ill if you keep wearing them."
At this moment, Yán Luòxī's head was spinning, but knowing she would definitely fall sick, it didn't matter whether she changed her clothes or not now. Thus, she weakly shook her head again.
Seeing how wet and worn-out Yán Luòxī looked while still stubbornly refusing to comply, Lǐ n was livid with anger. Narrowing his eyes, he gritted his teeth, "Do you think I haven't seen your body Change into dry clothes now or else I'll rip off the wet ones and help you change!"
Yán Luòxī was frightened by Lǐ n's fierce appearance; this madman might actually tear her clothes. She grumbled, "I... I'll change my clothes, but don't look back!"
"You really haven’t looked in a mirror, right You don’t know how ugly you look now!" Lǐ n spoke harshly as he turned on the car heater to maximum and tossed Yán Luòxī a box of tissues. "Use these to clean the seat so that your dry clothes won't get wet."
Yán Luòxī, blushing with trembling hands, struggled to take off her wet clothes and quickly put on Lǐ n’s shirt.ly understands himself.Yan Luoxi happily nodded."Where are you going to stay" Li Anke wasn't as cheerful as she was, furrowing his brows as if he would eat her alive if Yan Luoxi said the wrong thing....
