Lǐ An was infuriated when he saw Yán Luoxi acting crazy, countless women crying and pleading for just one call from him, yet this dead girl actually blocked his number and pretended not to recognize his voice. When had a great guy like himself ever suffered such humiliation!

He originally worried that the rumor about him and Hè Yufan might hurt Yán Luoxi, but now he decided to let it fly freely in the air of Anrui International.

To his surprise, however, this gossip had no effect on her at all. She was immune as if she were invincible; wherever your lies may fly, she continued stuffing herself with food in the cafeteria during work hours and left happily chatting with colleagues after work. The only one feeling depressed now was himself.

These days when Yán Luoxi came to his office to deliver documents, he noticed that her face looked rather stiff and hesitant, devoid of any hatred or aversion, as if she did not know him at all.

Lǐ An felt somewhat anxious. Knowing that her feelings for him were virtually zero, why create such a misunderstanding with Hè Yufan He wanted to clear things up with her today before this dim-witted person came up with more foolish ideas.

After waiting in his office for a while and seeing no sign of Yán Luoxi, he became somewhat agitated. Could it be that the little girl had come up with another trick to avoid him

Lǐ An painfully pressed on his temples, picked up the phone and dialed Fāng Shìnián's number. Fāng Shìnián was the most slick and experienced person, fully aware of what he felt for the little girl, and knew when to speak and when not to. Therefore, there was no need to hide anything from him.

As soon as Lǐ An picked up the phone, Fāng Shìnián's anxious voice came over: "Mr. Lǐ, an employee elevator has broken down, Miss Yán appears to be inside."

Lian's head buzzed, and he quickly called Yan Luoxi. This time, Yan Luoxi was scared and promptly picked up the phone, her voice trembling with tears: "Second Brother, the elevator is broken; you need to find someone... Ah..." As the elevator suddenly jerked, Yan Luoxi screamed again.

"Don't hang up, it's being fixed. Don't move around, crouch down..." Lian rushed out of the room with his phone in hand. Every time Yan Luoxi shouted on the other end, his heart skipped a beat. By the time he stepped out of the executive office, his heart was pounding heavily.

There were already people fixing the elevator at the door when they saw Lian come out and hurriedly informed him: "Mr. Li, the elevator is fixed."

Lian shouted into the phone loudly, "How are you"

A while later, a weak voice responded, "Nothing serious, I just feel dizzy and weak in my legs. Just seeing an elevator makes me shiver."

Relieved, Lian exhaled heavily and walked to a quiet corner to softly comfort her: "You were scared; don't be afraid."

"Yeah, I was scared," Yan Luoxi obediently continued. "Mr. Li, I won’t dare take the elevator again. In the future... can you not make me deliver documents for you"

“Wherever you want to go, just get lost!” Lian exploded in anger; his previous gentleness seemed nonexistent. This damn girl always made him want to yell at her. Even now, she still wanted to avoid him.

From that day on, Lian no longer had Yan Luoxi deliver documents for him. Since she didn't have any feelings towards him, why should he be overly sentimental He, Lian An, lacked nothing but women.

To provoke Yan Luoxi, Li An started to deliberately and unintentionally interact with He Yufan. Their gossip was spreading half-truthfully in the company, but those who were most interested in uncovering the truth about their relationship weren't Yan Luoxi, but rather the manager of the public relations department. How she dealt with He Yufan, who had a seemingly ambiguous relationship with the CEO, would be crucial to her future career prospects.

During a company social event that Li An attended, the PR manager試探性地帶何雨凡一起參加，想看看她的反應。在酒桌上，厲安對何雨凡表現得很是關照，幾次替她擋駕喝酒，引得其他人不停地起鬨取笑，稱讚他憐香惜玉。

After the banquet, the PR manager discreetly slipped away. The others also had ulterior motives and moved to the side, leaving only He Yufan with Li An. Li An, as gentlemanly as ever, offered to see her home.

The streets were filled with slow-moving traffic; streetlights and car headlights intertwined into countless beams of light. Looking at Li An, who was focused on driving beside her, she found him strikingly handsome. Although she hadn't drunk much tonight, her cheeks flushed as if she had.

No matter how bold and open she usually was, she still felt shy in this confined, quiet space with the man she loved. She pursed her lips and softly said, "Thank you, President Li."

Li An seemed somewhat distracted; he gave a soft 'mm' in response and after some silence, suggested, “I noticed you didn’t eat much at the party. Why don’t we get some late-night snacks”

He Yufan suppressed her ecstatic excitement and replied with feigned restraint, nodding shyly.

A moment later, Li An seemed to recall something important; he said, “Right! Invite your colleague from the dorm too. We don’t want her thinking anything.”

"Sure." He Yufan thought of Yan Luoxi, who was probably hungry at this hour and would be delighted if she were invited for a midnight snack.

Indeed, as soon as she called and invited Yan Luoxi for late-night snacks, Yan Luoxi readily agreed with great enthusiasm on the other end of the line.

"Don't be so slovenly; tidy up a bit before coming down. There's still a man here," He Yufan reminded her softly over the phone, knowing how casual Yan Luoxi was.

"Who is it" It sounded as if Yan Luoxi had cucumber in her mouth, making crisp "crackling" sounds.

"Mr. Li," He Yufan replied with a hint of satisfaction.

The line went silent immediately.

Li An had been eavesdropping attentively since He Yufan started the call, and when he heard her mention him and then silence from Yan Luoxi, his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

Liang was clever; he always knew how to handle people and women. No matter how much he liked a woman, he would never be too clingy or she might become capricious and arrogant. At the right time, he needed to give her some space, but not for too long, as that could breed resentment. He felt it was the right moment to give Yan Luoxi an escape.

He was naturally proud and wouldn't lower himself to seek out Yan Luoxi first; hence, he wanted to use He Yufan's invitation tonight to get her to come over. But now, it seemed this little rascal wasn’t going to make things easy for him. The tactics that worked on every other woman were ineffective against Yan Luoxi.ttle Wife, Five Degrees RomanceHe Yufan accompanied Fang Jianghai out for an afternoon.
