Chapter 58 The Mastermind (Part 2)

"You feel uncomfortable if you don't blabber nonsense for a day!""Ouch!" He Yufan cried out softly. "Hypocritical and wicked little woman; Zhou Guangtao must be blind to have chosen her."Zhou Guangtao...Chapter 58 (Part 2) The Culprit

He Yufan took big gulps of tea, pursed her lips together, and tried to sit up straight as she forced a smile. "Luoxi, are you now in an official romantic relationship with Li An Have you confirmed your feelings for each other"

Yan Luoxi had been getting along well with Li An recently, sharing intimate moments together. Hearing He Yufan's question, she couldn't help nodding her head and smiling.

"Your緣分has finally come to fruition; it’s a good thing you both didn’t miss out on each other." He Yufan pretended to be casual by spreading her hands wide and shrugging her shoulders, but the disappointment in her eyes was hard to conceal.

Seeing He Yufan's demeanor, Yan Luoxi felt a sharp pang in her heart. "Yufan, it’s my fault for what happened before. If… if I hadn't acted so recklessly back then and had been less petty, if I could have let go generously, you would be with Brother Guangtao now..."

"Don’t mention him to me!" He Yufan's voice suddenly rose as though someone had stepped on her tail.

Yan Luoxi was taken aback and blinked puzzledly. "I… I didn't mean any harm…"

He Yufan forced herself to regain composure, twisting her lips bitterly. She wanted to say goodbye to Yan Luoxi and quickly end this awkward and disappointing encounter.

She pushed the teacup in front of her away. "Luoxi, you should probably head back; Li An might be looking for you if you’re gone too long!"

Yan Luoxi realized that He Yufan was hinting for her to leave. She reluctantly stood up and walked towards the door, truly unwilling to part ways with He Yufan.

As He Yufan stepped out of the teahouse, he slowed his pace and gave Yan Luoxi a deep look, "Luoxi, goodbye!"

Yan Luoxi was really reluctant to leave He Yufan. She watched as He Yufan walked away and called out, "Yufan!" She wanted to tell him how much she missed him, but the words felt insincere.

At this moment, He Yufan also felt uneasy. Her face showed a mix of emotions; she turned around hesitantly before finally turning back and walking away.

The streets were now bustling with more people. Yan Luoxi, slender and delicate, stumbled as she was pushed by the crowd. She suddenly had no idea where to go or what to do, her mind filled only with the reality of He Yufan being Fang Jianghai's mistress.

Yufan, Yufan, Yufan... She repeated his name over and over again as she stood motionless by the roadside, tears streaming down her face.

Only she knew how proud and noble He Yufan had once been; only she knew how optimistic and beautiful a person she used to be!

During their four years of university, so many men had pursued her—richer, younger, handsomer than Fang Jianghai—but none managed to win her heart. She remained pure and uninterested until now, when she chose an older man who was neither young nor handsome.

The busy street was filled with people and vehicles; everyone seemed happy and festive except for Yan Luoxi, who stood alone by the roadside, weeping bitterly.

After an unknown period of time, when the sky turned completely dark, Yan Luoxi finally came to her senses and remembered Lì n at the hospital. She realized she needed to go back immediately or else Lì n might worry about her.

She wanted to call Lì n but upon taking out her phone, she found it was already dead. As she turned around intending to head back to the hospital, she discovered that she had no idea where exactly she was standing and couldn’t find her way back to the hospital at all.

Yan Luoxi could only ask passersby on the roadside for directions while heading towards the hospital. By the time she returned to the hospital, she was so tired that her legs hurt.

Before even entering Lì n’s ward, Yan Luoxi noticed through the door glass that it was brightly lit up. Based on previous experiences, at this hour, Lì n would already be lying in bed with only a bedside lamp turned on.

Yan Luoxi thought to herself that since Lì n hadn’t slept so late into the night, he must have been waiting for her. She hurriedly quickened her pace and as soon as she opened the door, “Yan Luoxi!” Shao Meizhuo’s figure appeared before her eyes like a ghost.

“You didn’t run away” This was Ming Zixi's surprised cry.

"Run" What kind of question was this Yan Luoxi asked, somewhat dumbfounded: "Why would I run"

"Didn't you know that the Young Master Lì thought you had run away again His face was so ugly and he threw everything in his room that could be thrown. He also scolded those two bodyguards who were following you until they lost sight of you, yelling at them till their ears turned blue. If it weren't for us stopping him, he would have gone out onto the streets to look for you himself. This fiery temper of his... if we hadn’t stopped him, he might have eaten us alive…" Ming Zixi rattled on and on, translating everything to Yan Luoxi.

"Why do you talk so much nonsense Shut your mouth and get out!" Lì n, lying in the bed inside the ward, shouted loudly.

When Ming Zixi heard Li An's shouting, he immediately called out to his team members, "Brothers, the culprit has returned. We can finally escape this suffering. Let's leave quickly!"

The group left in a hurry. Shao Junhe walked over to Yan Luoxi, gave her a meaningful look, sighed lightly, and then left.

As soon as these people left, the room seemed empty all of a sudden. Yan Luoxi took a few steps forward and finally noticed the mess inside the room.

The broken cups, medicine bottles, smashed fruits with juice spilling everywhere, trampled flowers in tatters, even her bed sheets, hospital gown, and skirt—all were thrown on the ground with several clear footprints of anger!

Yan Luoxi was already unhappy inside, and seeing this mess made her hand clench into a fist involuntarily. She looked up at Li An angrily, "What are you trying to do Why did you throw my things on the ground Aren't you being too disrespectful"

Li An's face was ashen now, with veins popping out on his forehead, "Why do you think I am doing this You just took a walk around the street for a while. But when you didn’t return after such a long time, I thought you were dead!"

Yan Luoxi was very angry inside but, thinking that she had been at fault first, she did not want to argue with Li An anymore since he still wasn't well. So she took a deep breath and called in the special caregivers from outside to help her clean up the mess caused by Li An.

Li An panted heavily, his chest rising and falling rapidly as he continued to shout angrily: "I asked you a question! What were you doing for so long"

"I was dead," Yan Luoxi answered gloomily, remembering what Li An had just said. their backpacks, she noticed some beautiful wildflowers growing on a cliff and moved closer to take a look.The area was covered with tiny, slippery mosses; just a small step forward caused Yan Luoxi'...
