Chapter 46 Playboy

planning on calling that bastard Zhou Guangtao, are you That poor kid—what's so good about him..." As Li An handed her the phone, he spoke with a hint of sourness."Why can't I call him" Yan Luoxi was...Chapter 46 The Playboy

After Yan Luoxi received an injection for a day and her fever subsided, she said that she was afraid of pain and refused to receive another one. Shao Junhe dared not be too forceful in making the decision for her, so he could only let her have her way while trying to persuade her to take some cold medicine.

However, Yan Luoxi's cold persisted stubbornly without getting better. After her fever subsided, she started coughing and lost her voice, speaking with a heavy nasal tone.

Shao Junhe eventually insisted on taking Yan Luoxi to the First Hospital, but no serious illness was found there.

Shao Junhe knew that this was a mental illness manifesting in physical symptoms for Yan Luoxi.

Lie An's abandonment of Yan Luoxi did not cause her an irreversible trauma like life and death separation, but the despair and pain were far more tormenting. It eroded Yan Luoxi bit by bit from every tiny detail.

A lingering illness is like unraveling a tangled thread.

Although this was not a serious illness for Yan Luoxi, it did not get better quickly. She became noticeably thinner.

Every day, she just lay weakly in bed, staring blankly outside as if her soul had left her body. No matter what Shao Junhe said or did, she showed little reaction and remained silent.

Shao Junhe slept in his own room only when it was time to sleep; otherwise, he surrounded Yan Luoxi all day long.

He got up early to prepare breakfast for Yan Luoxi's room, then after breakfast, he would bring her medicine and gently suggest taking a walk downstairs. Although what he said was ignored each time by Yan Luoxi, he persisted in saying it three times daily, vividly describing the charm of this small town—simple, tranquil, clean, elegant...

Yan Luoxi turned a deaf ear to everything he said.

If Yan Luoxi insisted on not going downstairs, Shao Junhe would play music or put on a DVD for her, regardless of whether she listened or watched.

He would softly ask what she wanted for lunch and dinner, then be busy juicing fruits and buying local snacks for her...

Shao Junhe's day seemed to be spent solely for Yan Luoxi; at any time, as soon as Yan Luoxi looked up, he was there, tall and busy.

To make up for the emotional distance and unfamiliarity over these years, Shao Junhe used his thoughtfulness, patience, meticulousness, and gentleness to fill in each gap.

Shao Junhe devoted all his thoughts to Yan Luoxi daily, but her eyes were always sorrowful of another man. Regardless of what Shao Junhe did, it was like a transparent existence for Yan Luoxi; she ignored him.

Facing this kind of Yan Luoxi every day, with all her emotions and feelings revolving around another man, Shao Junhe felt lost and uncomfortable.

But none of that mattered. Nothing could compare to the realness of being close by her side, hearing her breath, watching her drink water and eat meals, calling her name, and spending day after day with her...

Shao Junhe did not want to overthink it; as long as he could take care of her and love her, that was enough—even if she didn't respond now.

He looked at Yan Luoxi, who was lost in thought while gazing out the window, with a heart full of tenderness.

That night, after Li An had humiliated Yan Luoxi and sent her away, he sat on the sofa wearing a finely tailored white shirt. His long legs were crossed, and the bright lights illuminated his incomparably handsome face. He smiled slightly, maintaining an extremely comfortable posture.

His act of vengeance ended perfectly; he had humiliated Yan Luoxi in front of everyone who knew about it and those who didn't know about it, completely restoring his dignity and pride.

Li An felt incredibly satisfied and at ease. The only thing that troubled him slightly was his best friend Shao Junhe.

After sending Yan Luoxi off, Shao Junhe turned back to glare angrily at Li An: "Li An, how could you do this Isn't this a bit too despicable"

"Is it any of your business" Li An looked at Shao Junhe with amusement, shrugging his shoulders. "How I act is none of your concern. Is she related to you Does this matter have anything to do with you"

"You... !" Enraged, Shao Junhe clenched his fists tightly; the veins on his forehead bulged.

“Hey, what are you two arguing about” Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Ming Zixi quickly pulled Shao Junhe away. Shao Junhe circled around the floor-to-ceiling window for a while before leaving without even saying goodbye.

Li An watched as Shao Junhe's back disappeared from view; his expression darkened slightly.

Suo Meizhuo was the happiest person tonight, even though her brother left in a fit of anger.

Her beautiful big eyes sparkled with excitement but she dared not show it openly, so she whispered to the two friends beside her, urging them to call Li An out to play.

The group of friends around Li An only knew a few who were aware of his tangled past with Yan Luoxi. Just now when they saw Yan Luoxi return and cause such a commotion, they all thought she was just another one of the many girlfriends that Li An had dumped. In their hearts, Li An was always seen as a carefree playboy, so they didn't think much about it.

These people grew up watching Li An's face to know his mood; seeing him unhappy now, they all started clamoring about newly opened entertainment venues and beautiful girls who had arrived. The Second Young Master of the Li family has been away for so long; he should go out and have some fun.

Before Li An could sort through his thoughts clearly, his friends were already clamoring to take him out. He turned around and instructed Sun Liangliang to change clothes upstairs, then happily took her out with the other young masters and gentlemen.

This group of people left in a flurry, calling their companions along.

In this city, all reputable entertainment venues and nightclubs were under the business empire of the Li family. Since childhood, Li An had grown up amidst opulence and debauchery; he was thoroughly familiar with such places and even somewhat weary of them.

The two young men who often fawned over Li An knew his thoughts best. They came to him eagerly suggesting, "Young Master An, recently our boss has opened a new club on the hillside. The restaurant serves the freshest seafood, the casino offers the biggest stakes, and the dancers are all mixed-race beauties; there's even hot spring baths. Shall we go there for some fun"

These people were clever enough to call Li Yi 'boss' but none dared to call Li An 'second brother'; they all called him Young Master An.

At this moment, Li An seemed somewhat absent-minded and turned to seek Ming Zixi's opinion. Ming Zixi himself was in a jumble of thoughts and simply nodded his head; the group then headed up the mountain toward the half-hill.

Their cars had just started up the hill when they could see from afar the gilded building on top, brightly lit, illuminating the entire side of the mountain with golden light. The grand clubhouse perched atop the rugged mountains looked like it was floating in the sky, truly resembling a paradise above. and sorrowfully beside Fang Jianghai, her face filled with shame and anger.Fang Jianghai took He Yufan straight to one of his private villas and led her upstairs to the bedroom.The luxurious bedroom...
