Chapter 119 - Equality Before Love

e himself was foolish!Yan Luoxi wasn’t pleased; her face showed a slightly sharp sarcasm: "Do you think everyone is like you Calculating at every turn. I trust him.""Huh-huh, how ridiculous! You're tw...Chapter 119: Equality Before Love

Although Li Haonan heard Li An's apology, he still felt angry inside. He thought that since Li An had caused such a big trouble, it wouldn't feel right if he didn't punish him physically. Clenching his fists and frowning, he seemed to be searching for where to start.

Gu Xiaobei, who had followed her husband for many years, could tell from the look in Li Haonan's eyes what he was thinking. Although her son’s mistake was significant, she couldn't help but feel heartache at the thought of him being beaten by her husband’s iron fist.

She tugged at Li Haonan's shirt and gently said, "Let's go outside. Let the child rest and recuperate; there are still many guests waiting for us to entertain them."

The pleading look in his wife’s eyes reminded him of her days of worry and fear recently. How could he bear to make her suffer more He glared fiercely at Li An, then left with Gu Xiaobei.

Seeing that his father had finally left, Li An secretly let out a breath of relief. To the mother who was making faces back at him, he bowed and said thank you.

Walking beside Gu Xiaobei, Li Haonan clearly perceived the small actions between his wife and son, but due to his love for his wife, he could only無奈地裝作不知道。

Lying in bed, Li An couldn't help but think of Shao Junhe again. Had that bean gone back to find Yan Luoxi Or was he out on business Why didn't I see him earlier

Just as he was tossing and turning, the door opened, and Ming Zixi entered with his squad, including Shao Junhe. When Li An saw Shao Junhe, an inexplicable sense of peace settled over him.

"Oh my, little Li An, you really know how to cause trouble! Our vast southern coast wasn't enough for your antics; now you've come all the way to the Golden Triangle causing chaos. Everyone had to accompany you on this tour!" As soon as Ming Zixi stepped into the ward, he started complaining with a pout, praising Li An's daring deed: "Well, thanks to you, I got to visit the Golden Triangle too. To be honest, it's not such a bad place..."

"Stop talking nonsense and pour me some juice; I'm thirsty!" Li An impatiently interrupted Ming Zixi's chattering. He had been feeling parched ever since he woke up but didn't dare to order his mother around with his dad present. Gu Xiaobei, having been spoiled by Li Haonan over the years, had forgotten how to take care of a sick person and hadn't thought about pouring water for her exhausted son.

"You really deserve it; you're asking me to pour your juice," Ming Zixi muttered with a pout. Before he could go pour Li An some juice, the gentle and considerate Wu Tiantian had already brought him a glass of juice.

“Thank you!” Li An gave Wu Tiantian a warm smile: "My sweet sister is still the best; she knows how to care for people."

Hearing Li An’s words, Wu Tiantian pursed her lips and her eyes reddened as if she was about to cry.

“Sis, what's wrong Did someone bully you Tell Brother, I'll help you teach him a lesson!” Li An immediately asked in a serious tone.

"Who else could it be but you!" Wu Tiantian had endured for so many days and finally couldn't hold back her tears. She burst into sobs: "Brother Li An, why do you treat yourself like this If anything happens to you, we all…"

Wu Tiantian's crying sound also brought tears to Shao Meizhuo's eyes. She stood by and cried while giving Li An a resentful glare with her eyes.

"Alright, stop crying. I promise that no matter what happens in the future, I will never do such impulsive foolish things again." Li An made his promise, trying to console the two girls who were sobbing bitterly. His eyes glanced subtly at Shao Junhe.

Shao Junhe had lost a lot of weight recently; everyone's eyes were bloodshot and their faces looked haggard with exhaustion. Li An didn't know if he had turned out this way because of worry for himself, or due to concern over Yan Luoxi at home.

Li An admitted that he was petty-minded, but whenever it involved Yan Luoxi, no matter what the situation, he couldn't be magnanimous.

Shao Junhe had been agonizing with worry and self-reproach. Finally, after waiting through days of torment, he received news that Li An was safe. During these few days, Uncle and Aunt Li as well as his own parents had thoroughly understood the situation regarding Li An, Yan Luoxi, and everything else.

Although no one blamed him, everyone knew that the commotion caused by Li An was because of Yan Luoxi, and indirectly, his relationship with Yan Luoxi contributed to it all.

In recent days, Shao Junhe had been in extremely low spirits. Seeing now how Li An glanced at him subtly, he felt even more heartache. He and Li An grew up together since childhood; their bond was like that of brothers. Was it possible for them to drift apart from each other

Ming Zixi led everyone out of Li An's room after speaking with them for a while. Seeing the gradually weakening expression on Li An’s face, he recalled what the doctor had instructed upon entering and politely asked everyone to leave, giving Li An time to rest properly.

Shao Junhe walked to Li An's bedside, half lowering his eyes as if he dared not meet Li An's gaze. "Li An, rest well. We'll come and see you later."

At this moment, Li An was thinking only of Yan Luoxi. Seeing Shao Junhe about to leave made him anxious; disregarding everyone else’s gazes, he called out, "Bean Sprout, wait a while before leaving. I have something to tell you."

Aware that he had to talk with Li An, Shao Junhe did not avoid it and nodded his head.

Ming Zixi and Shao Meizhuo exchanged glances, naturally knowing the reason why Li An wanted to keep Shao Junhe behind. They all walked out in unison as if they shared a mutual understanding.

Seeing everyone leave, Shao Junhe looked at Li An with a complex expression and said softly, "Li An, I'm sorry!"

Stimulated by Shao Junhe’s words, Li An's eyes narrowed slightly. He smiled dismissively, "You owe me nothing. It was I who abandoned Yan Luoxi back then; I did wrong and deserved any punishment."

Furrowing his brows, Shao Junhe took a deep breath, "If I hadn't been with Yan Luoxi and someone else had been instead, perhaps you wouldn’t have suffered so much pain. To be honest, being such a good friend isn’t very sensible."

"Everyone is equal before love; you’ve already given me over ten years of your life, it’s unnecessary to continue yielding to me." Li An looked out the window with a forlorn expression. The victors are heroes while the losers are villains. Shao Junhe now having won the heart he desired naturally said whatever sounded good.ed his head to look at her once and said in a soft voice: "There are some things behind your seat; you can get them yourself."When Yan Luoxi turned around, she saw that the long seat behind her was fi...
