Chapter 66

ormy night they spent together in the mountain villa before, but every glance and suggestive word from Zhou Guangtao and He Yufan stung her heart like pricks.Another night without returning!Yan Luoxi...Chapter 66

Ruan Xi's purpose for this visit was simply to follow Meng Mang and spend more time with him. Now that she heard Meng Mang say he wanted to go back, she also said she would return home along with him, so Ni Xuanyi could rest at home in peace.

Ni Xuanyi originally intended to bring them together; seeing them decide to return together, she agreed readily.

After sending off Meng Mang and Ruan Xi, Ni Xuanyi returned to the Li family mansion and took a leisurely walk alone in the large garden.

In these more than three years, she had virtually made the Li family her home.

At first, she was quite afraid of Lady Li An's sharp tongue, but after spending time with her, she discovered that she was just a paper tiger, a silly child who appeared fierce and was actually timid inside.

When she first met Li Haonan and Gu Xiaobei, Ni Xuanyi felt very tense and anxious, fearing they would dislike or look down on her. If not for the sake of Li Yi, she wouldn't have wanted to see them ever again.

But once she actually saw them, Ni Xuanyi had no more worries at all.

Uncle Li Haonan may appear stern and severe but, upon learning that she was from the Golden Triangle and had saved Li Yi's life, he treated her with great kindness and care, regarding her as family or even his own child, treating her better than how he treated Li An.

Aunt Gu Xiaobei doesn't act like a typical lady of high society. On the contrary, she seems to be an eternal child, naive and kind-hearted. When she's with Ni Xuanyi, it feels like they are friends, being very friendly and chatting freely without any restraint. Sometimes, she even leads them into doing some unimaginable absurd things.

Of course, such times are rare. Uncle Li Haonan is extremely protective of his wife to a degree that others can't comprehend; he doesn’t want anyone else to interact with her except himself. He feels like everyone else has ulterior motives towards his wife and rarely lets his sons get close to her either. Therefore, about ninety percent of the time, they live outside.

Both Li Yi and Li An understand their father’s feelings well, so neither of them bothers trying to win over their mother's affection anymore.

The Li family's mansion is huge, luxurious, and beautiful but lacks liveliness. Previously, when Li An was around, he would occasionally invite some friends for wild parties in the garden, but now that he has left to pursue his love interest, this large garden has become utterly quiet.

After taking a walk around the garden, Ni Xuanyi returned to her room for lunch and then went to sleep. In the afternoon, she watched DVDs in the audio-visual room while waiting for Li Yi to come back from work.

However, instead of Li Yi returning home, she received a call from him saying that he had urgent business at an out-of-town company and would have to take an evening flight there.

Ni Xuanyi felt somewhat disappointed but didn’t dare show it. She told Li Yi that she could look after herself well and reminded him to be careful on his journey, assuring him that he could go worry-free.

Spending a day alone in the big house made Ni Xuanyi miss her working days. Even though they were busy, they were fulfilling.

While she was aimlessly watching TV on the sofa, she suddenly heard car horns outside. She thought Li Yi had changed his mind and come back early, so she jumped up with joy to go out.

A fashionable and eye-catching sports car parked at the entrance of the villa. The handsome man Li An got out of the car, smiling insincerely as he looked at Ni Xuanyi who was standing dumbfounded at the door, saying: "You're still running around even though you’re injured Did you think it was my big brother coming back! Hahaha!"

Ni Xuanyi shot him a glance. "Why did you suddenly come back Where's your little beauty"

Li An’s expression suddenly became complicated, uncertain. “You’ve already become the Lone-Armed Zen Empress now; take care of yourself and mind your own business!”

Ni Xuanyi figured he had been frustrated outside, so she didn’t reply to him anymore but walked into the house herself to continue watching TV.

Li An’s mood was indeed not good. When he entered the room, his face was gloomy and he started making phone calls without saying a word; the voice on the speakerphone was always calm: "The user you are trying to reach has turned off their phone."

The next day, Li An didn’t leave home but spent the entire day in unpredictable moods. Ni Xuanyi cautiously avoided him all along and did her best not to become a trigger.

It wasn't until afternoon that Li An seemed to finally get through on the call; initially, he deliberately yelled at the other end of the phone, but then laughed out loud after hearing something from the other side, his voice instantly becoming cheerful. His gloomy face finally brightened up.

In the evening, Li An was in high spirits and invited many friends over for a barbecue and drinking session in the large garden at home to chat and socialize.

Ni Xuanyi found herself bored and followed Li An and his group to join them. In the past, this was something she disliked doing most, but ever since starting her job, she had become much more laid-back; she felt it was nice for everyone to get together and chat.

The speaker played nostalgic songs; a tune called "Red Berries in Bloom" made Ni Xuanyi miss her parents, and she felt a bit sad for a moment. Li An seemed to be in high spirits tonight.

Ni Xuanyi sometimes ate something, and at other times pointed at her chin while listening to their idle chit-chat. She especially enjoyed hearing Ming Zixi talk solemnly but frivolously with his face pulled tight, and she also loved seeing Li An smile; when he smiled, he was truly handsome, with white teeth and a radiant demeanor, and the contours of his brows and eyes resembled Li Yi's, yet he had something delicate that Li Yi lacked.

"What are you looking at Are you imagining my big brother" Ni Xuanyi wasn't prepared for this teasing from Li An; her face quickly turned red. In front of Li An, Ni Xuanyi easily became tongue-tied and stammered evasively, "You should drink less; don’t you have to leave tomorrow"

"Yeah, our Xuanxuan is good; she knows how to care for others!" Li An laughed heartily, holding his glass while gazing absentmindedly at the distant sky, a slight smile playing on his lips. His dark eyes seemed filled with emotion. Ni Xuanyi knew he must have been thinking about the girl named Luo Xi.

Ni Xuanyi's phone rang at that moment; she thought it would be Li Yi, but it was actually from Meng Mang, saying that he and Ruan Xi had already arrived home. Hearing the commotion here, Meng Mang asked curiously, "Xuanxuan, where are you Who are you with"

"I'm with my friends," Ni Xuanyi replied briefly.

"What kind of friends I hear a lot of noise! You have injuries; why don’t you go back to sleep instead of going out partying!" Concern and displeasure were evident in Meng Mang's voice.

"Ah, okay, I'll head back to bed right away. Don't worry, I’ll take care of myself."

"Humph, if I had known you still had the energy for this, Ruan Xi and I wouldn’t have returned; we could have gone out partying together," Meng Mang was obviously feeling jealous.bear to leave this place.He and Yan Luoxi stayed here every day without any interruptions from others. They ate together and slept together. Yan Luoxi was incredibly indulgent toward her "sick" man, a...
