Lì An was just about to call Zhāng Yīngdá when he thought better of it. If he called Zhāng Yīngdá out right now, there would be no one watching over Yán Luòxī and ZHōu Kuángtāo. Would they not then forget all inhibitions and reminisce about their old relationship
He was at a loss for what to do. Clenching his teeth in frustration, he stood by the rest area and cursed Yán Luòxī inwardly.
This damn girl! She made an excuse about Yè Zǐxīn coming over so that she could prevent him from visiting her or seeing her. He was left pacing nervously around while trying to sneak a peek at their baby, only to discover that she had found an opportunity to secretly meet up with her old flame when he wasn't looking.
Old lovers are the best; no matter where one goes in this world, they can never be forgotten!
Lì An suddenly thought of a line from a song and shuddered involuntarily. The more he imagined Yán Luòxī and ZHōU Kuángtāo reminiscing about their past together, the angrier he became. Grinding his teeth, after some deliberation, an idea finally came to him and he called over Xú Lìpíng.
Yán Luòxī was sipping white wine slowly and indulging in her nostalgia when she felt her handbag ringing. She took out the phone and saw that it was her mother calling.
"Luòxī, are you busy Can you come home" Xu Lìping's voice sounded anxious.
"Mom, what’s wrong Has something happened" Yán Luòxī asked anxiously.
"Baby just vomited some milk; I’m quite worried. If you have time, could you please come back"
"Alright, Mom, I'll be right back, don't worry!" Yan Luoxi agreed while standing up to hurriedly bid farewell to Zhou Guangtao and the others.
A child is a mother's flesh and blood. In Yan Luoxi's heart, no one could be more important than that little girl, not even Zhou Guangtao.
Seeing Yan Luoxi's expression change, Zhou Guangtao couldn't help but stand up too, asking with concern: "Is there something wrong at home Shall I send you back"
Zhang Yingda had noticed for a long time that Zhou Guangtao seemed to have unusual feelings towards Yan Luoxi. However, since Zhou Guangtao hadn't done anything inappropriate, Zhang Yingda didn't want to say anything. Hearing Zhou Guangtao's offer now, Zhang Yingda immediately spoke up: "Mr. Zhou, please sit down and eat; our driver will send Ms. Yan home. The secretary outside will take care of her."
Yan Luoxi was Li Ershaoye’s predetermined woman. If she were to be taken away by another man right under his nose, he would consider himself cursed with longevity.
In response to Zhang Yingda's reminder, Zhou Guangtao snapped back to reality, nodding silently as he watched Yan Luoxi leave the room in a hurry.
Standing nearby and resting, Li An felt relieved when he saw Yan Luoxi walk out of the private room. He was concerned that she might make a mistake in her anxious state and followed her all the way downstairs, watching as the driver from Hongyuan Group opened the car door to receive Yan Luoxi.
Li An watched the departing car, leaning against his own car door with narrowed eyes. For now, he had separated Yan Luoxi and Zhou Guangtao; to ensure that Yan Luoxi never saw Zhou Guangtao again, he needed a way to send Zhou Guangtao back overseas.
And if he wanted Yan Luoxi to stay by his side permanently without being disturbed by other men, he had to act quickly and bring her back soon.
Lian was an absolute doer. He didn't even go inside for lunch but sat in the car making phone calls right away, instructing someone to contact Zhou Guangtao’s overseas company and have his superior recall him back overseas as soon as possible, preferably never to return to China again.
After hanging up the phone, Li An was worried again.
Zhou Guangtao would be relatively easy to deal with; Li An could employ some means to drive him away. However, Yan Luoxi would be more difficult to handle. It seemed that he had to urge those people to expedite their efforts so that he could quickly win back Yan Luoxi.
Worried about the child, Yan Luoxi kept urging the driver to speed up and rushed home as fast as possible. When she returned, only her mother was in the baby's room; the little girl lay peacefully sleeping on a small bed.
Satisfied that the child was safe and sound, Yan Luoxi let out a sigh of relief. She asked her mom softly, "Mom, why did the baby throw up Is it serious"
"Perhaps she ate something uncomfortable at first and vomited twice; I panicked then and called you right away," said Xue Liping apologetically. "Afterwards, your daughter seemed to be fine as soon as she got my call—she played around for a while before falling asleep. Your lunch must have been ruined by this phone call!"
"Oh, no worries; I'm glad the child is okay," Yan Luoxi leaned against the small bed and gazed lovingly at her sleeping daughter. This beautiful little girl was getting more and more lovely as she grew up, resembling her father in every way.
Xue Liping looked over at her daughter nonchalantly and asked, "Where did you have lunch today Who did you eat with" If Yan Luoxi hadn't been involved with someone, Li An wouldn't have hurriedly brought her out as a shield to protect himself.
"I had lunch with some business friends," Yan Luoxi replied nonchalantly.
“What kind of business friends Didn’t you participate in a commercial negotiation this morning” Xue Liping pressed further.
Yan Luoxi's complexion darkened; she was working under the same roof as her mother, and some things were hard to hide from Mom. She answered softly, “It’s Zhou Guangtao who came to negotiate on behalf of a foreign businessman.”
"Zhou Guangtao!" Xue Liping couldn't help but widen her eyes. It turned out to be Zhou Guangtao who had returned, no wonder Li An was so nervous. "Luoxi, Zhou Guangtao hurt you pretty badly back then. You mustn’t be foolish and definitely cannot get together with him again..."
"I know, Mom." Yan Luoxi, seeing her mother about to launch into a long lecture, felt somewhat impatient and stood up to go back to her room.
Xue Liping looked at her daughter's retreating figure, narrowing her eyes thoughtfully.
These days, following in Yan Luoxi’s footsteps, she had become the executive assistant to the president of Hongyuan Group and was respected by all. This made Xue Liping feel extremely proud, more so than when she was Mrs. Sun Zhijun.
Especially during several cocktail parties where she encountered Sun Zhijun, Xue Liping felt particularly pleased.
The Hongyuan Group under her daughter’s husband was much bigger than Sun Zhijun's company. Seeing Xue Liping become the executive assistant to the president of Hongyuan Group, Sun Zhijun was quite surprised. When he later learned about Li An and Xue Liping's relationship through inquiries, all he could do was bear the humiliation and accept defeat.
Back then, Li An had been her daughter’s boyfriend; now that circumstances have changed, Li An is actually Yan Luoxi's fiancé.
If Sun Zhijun were a more stubborn person, perhaps he wouldn’t interact with Li An, Xue Liping, and the Hongyuan Group for the rest of his life. However, businesspeople are realistic; Sun Zhijun endured humiliation and pretended to forget everything. First, he took the initiative to apologize to Xue Liping, then played up their kinship by greeting her and building rapport.
Seeing how lowly Sun Zhijun was before her now compared to his cold-hearted divorce from her back then without any regrets, and seeing him swagger with his little girlfriend, Xue Liping felt a sense of satisfaction rise in her heart. Especially when she saw the way Sun Zhijijun's little girlfriend meekly bowed to her, it made her even happier.ce in her attitude towards him. He became excited and started chatting with Ni Xuanyi enthusiastically.Ni Xuanyi, feeling empty inside, felt a slight comfort hearing Ru Zhaos voice this time. She was...
