Chapter 9: Roll As Far Away As You Can

.No one dared to speak at the table; the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. Everyone knew too well about Li An's impulsive behavior and assumed he wanted to take his heartbreak from losing Yan Luoxi...Chapter 9: Go As Far Away As You Want To

Yan Luoxi admitted that she was a person who held grudges. Even after such a long time, she still remembered clearly what had happened back then; like an innocent child, she had been left in confusion and helplessness when Li An abandoned her.

At that moment, her entire world turned into a dead city, with pain from somewhere in her body nearly killing her.

Now, when she finally emerged from the darkness and decided to start a new life, this damned devil appeared again, refusing to leave her alone.

Yan Luoxi turned around and faced away from Li An, as if repressing her anger. After a long while, she slowly calmed down, turned back around, looked steadily at Li An, and said calmly, "I don't understand why you suddenly remember me again. You play with me like a cat playing with a mouse so many times already. To be honest, even if you're not tired of it, I am sick of this game.

Li An, this game is no longer new or interesting. You've taken your revenge, kissed me when you wanted to, slept with me—there's no suspense left at all now. I don't know what other tricks you're planning to play, but I'm really tired and won't cooperate with your act anymore. So please, let me go!" Yan Luoxi’s clear black-and-white eyes were filled with a cold emptiness, as if she was looking at a complete stranger.

"Luoxi, before this, I was possessed by an evil spirit; I know that what I did back then was wrong. At the time, I was too impulsive—blame me for it. Luoxi, this time, I really regretted what happened."

Li An gazed greedily at Yan Luoxi and spoke sorrowfully: "Luoxi, during the days we were apart, I truly saw through my own heart; I was selfish, narrow-minded, self-willed, arrogant, and never knew how to cherish things. After this separation, I really came to recognize my foolishness.

Luoxi, you have no idea how important you are to me. These days without you have been like a punishment for myself. I was wrong, and I want to change, Luoxi. Give me the chance to repent..."

Lian's voice was filled with sincerity and emotion.

Yan Luoxi raised her head, looking at Lian in surprise.

In the months since they had last met, Lian had changed—not in his appearance, but in his demeanor. Time and setbacks had given him a maturity that was evident, as well as an expression more focused and clear than before. She felt she could see into his heart through his eyes.

At this moment, Lian's heart was sincere and resolute.

But what good would that do What difference would it make

Yan Luoxi closed her eyes; the chaotic days filled with hurt and cruelty came flooding back to her. Recalling the painful scene, she shook her head violently.

"Lian, no matter what you say or do, I have only one thing to tell you: I hope that I never see you again!"

Yan Luoxi's words made Lian's figure tremble. A bitter smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he muttered to himself, "I know I deserve it, but Luoxi, I won't let go. I will spend my whole life making up for it." Unable to resist, he reached out to pull Yan Luoxi towards him.

Yan Luoxi forcefully shook off his hand as if it were contaminated with deadly bacteria, and said hatefully, "Won't let go For life As compensation for me" She pretended to be surprised and stared at Li An, then laughed mockingly. "Li An, this isn’t the first time you’ve said such things in front of me. Every time you repent, you always speak with firm determination and deep emotion."

She continued, "You once said, ‘Luoxi, I love you, I will give you happiness.’ You once said, ‘Luoxi, I’ll take care of you for life.’ You also said, ‘Luoxi, in this lifetime, I won’t let you suffer or get hurt at all.’"

Li An had made countless sweet promises. When I fell into your trap unwittingly, you would hit me hard and tell me that it was just a game to take revenge on me."

In response to Yan Luoxi's accusations, Li An felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. He looked at Yan Luoxi; usually sharp-tongued, he now didn’t know what to say. He raised his hand and swore like making a vow: "Luoxi, this time I really know I was wrong. I will change…"

"What do you mean by changing When we were young, you looked down on me; when I started to become someone worth noticing, you used the most vicious means to bully me; after I managed to escape and came to the capital city, you chased after me there and tormented me; since I couldn’t resist your tyranny, I ran away—I fled to the south, but then you followed here and acted pitifully to win my sympathy. You made me fall in love with you, and when I was about to marry you, you said that you didn't want me—then suddenly changed your mind and wanted me.

Now, you appear out of nowhere and make a big fuss by swearing under the heavens again that you still love me and asking me for forgiveness… Li An, isn’t this kind of behavior too much to bear"

Yan Luoxi’s words were like cold water poured over Li An's head. Li An admitted that every word and event she mentioned was true.

I have actually done even more despicable things that haven't been brought up yet.

She was driven to the end of her rope by him, no company dared to hire her. He used Heyu Fan and broke up with her and Zhou Guangtao. He didn't give Zhou Guangtao a chance to explain himself but tricked her into coming to Hainan... His illness wasn't as serious as he led her to believe; yet, he pretended to be on his deathbed in front of her...

"Li An, what gives you the confidence to go back on your words so arrogantly What makes you think that someone will always wait for you at their original place and act like a fool by waiting for you to toy with me over and over again!

It's because I'm foolish, an idiot, and stupid that you dare to play games with me! Let me tell you, Li An. From one experience of being deceived, one learns their lesson; no matter how silly a person is, they will learn from repeated trials like this. Remember well: Stay away from me as far as possible for the rest of your life and never appear in front of me again."

Li An was completely speechless under Yan Luoxi's scolding. His body gradually stiffened; his face paled bit by bit, beads of sweat trickled down his temples, and his eyes dimmed.

Seeing Li An in a daze, Yan Luoxi felt both hatred and satisfaction but also an indistinct bitterness at the same time.

She touched her belly with her hand, skirted past Li An who stood woodenly there, and walked steadily towards her mother's car as much as possible.

Xue Liping sat in the car; actually, she had been watching Yan Luoxi and Li An all along. Seeing her daughter return with a fatigued look on her face now, she didn't dare to ask too many questions either but started the engine silently and drove home.

Yan Luoxi didn't speak throughout the entire journey today; she was simply too tired after being pestered by Mrs. Wang and Li An together.el and the occasional cool touch of her hand truly made him feel more comfortable.He closed his eyes dizzily and somehow thought of Yan Luoxi. They were hugging each other on the sofa in their living...
