Yan Luoxi guessed that Li An must have been frustrated by those few nurses, which was why he had such a severe emotional outburst.

He’s just experiencing an early midlife crisis!

With a wooden expression on her face, Yan Luoxi inwardly scoffed.

Yan Luoxi's passive response left Li An helpless; he closed his eyes and said, "I want to be discharged."

"Really" Just like she wished for, Yan Luoxi was overjoyed and exclaimed out loud.

Their obvious excitement triggered a reaction from certain people. Li An suddenly opened his eyes with a dazzling gaze, and the landlord's temper flared up again: "Why are you so happy Do you think I being discharged means there’s nothing to do with you Let me tell you—I’m going back home after discharge, and you have to come back to serve me!"

Yan Luoxi watched helplessly as Li An burst her hopeful bubble. She retorted angrily: "What right do you have to be so domineering Are you the tyrant Huang Shiren Do I even have any freedom left Let me tell you—I’m not going to earn your ‘two hundred and fifty’ anymore, I’m leaving right now!"

Li An's dark eyes swept sharply over Yan Luoxi, who was angrily gesturing with her hands. He barked at her in a loud and stern voice: "Shut your mouth! These few days of indulgence have made you completely lose yourself; how dare you shout and scream in front of me!" His voice was harsh yet clear.

Yan Luoxi was so angry that her face turned red, and she clenched her teeth tightly but really dared not to confront Li An anymore. She knew very clearly that under his charming appearance lay a bad temper like a barrel filled with gunpowder; once ignited, it would unleash energy she couldn’t handle no matter the reason.

"You are now an employee of our company. The chairman is sick, and the HR department designated you to take care of me in the hospital. Therefore, before I recover, your job will be to look after me."

Li An's injury was a fracture. It takes about 100 days for bones and tendons to heal properly. Although his condition wasn't severe, the doctor said that he would still need to wear the cast on his leg for another twenty days before it could be removed. Even after removing the cast, he wouldn’t be able to engage in strenuous activities temporarily and would still need someone’s care.

With Li An's current dictatorial declaration, she seemed doomed to remain under his charge forever, which made Yan Luoxi anxious. She raised her voice again, "Then can I quit your company Can I resign tomorrow"

"You can resign if you wish, but before doing so, it would be wise for you to carefully read the contract. After submitting a resignation letter, there's a one-month notice period; those who violate this rule will have to pay compensation." Li An casually swung his uninjured leg.

"What Compensation!" Yan Luoxi stared at Li An with wide eyes.

The issue of compensation wasn't trivial in Li An’s view; it was a threat!

Knowing that it was a threat, Yan Luoxi still slowly closed her mouth, swallowed hard, and lowered her head, gazing blankly at the ground beneath her feet.

A penny can humble even the most heroic of men. When living life, isn't every minute associated with money

"Snap out of it! Hurry up and pack your things; let's go home. I don't want to spend another minute in this damned place!"

See, I was right—I guessed that Lei An must have hit a brick wall. The place he considered heaven yesterday has become utterly detestable today.

Yan Luoxi frowned and ignored Lei An as she began to pack her things. Her loose ponytail swung behind her head, seemingly aiding in venting her anger.

Lei An watched Yan Luoxi's helpless yet infuriated demeanor with great satisfaction. When she passed by him, he suddenly reached out and pulled the hair tie from her head without warning.

Yan Luoxi abruptly turned around, her disheveled hair flying wildly in the wind, perfectly matching her furious expression. "What are you doing Pushing me, threatening me—now you want to toy with me as well I'll tell you, I have my limits!"

Lei An held her hand and said affectionately, "Luoxi, do I make you extremely angry by doing this"

Yan Luoxi thought he had finally come to his senses. She nodded slightly, only to be met with another outrageous statement: "I just love seeing you so furious—it's like watching a lion king." Then, he burst into an extremely rude laugh.

"Go to hell!" Yan Luoxi fiercely shook off Lei An’s hand. In her twenty-two years of life, she had never met anyone more selfish or self-centered than him—whimsical and capricious with no regard for others' feelings. She decided that the next day she would quit her job at the company; she could only endure this devilish fellow for another month.

Lei An quietly left the hospital without informing any of his friends or colleagues, including Shao Junhe and Ming Zixi, under instructions from his attending physician.

This was not the first time Yan Luoxi had come to Li An's house; she had previously misbehaved here after drinking. As soon as she entered, her heart raced and her face flushed.

To hide her nervousness, she carried her luggage inside. While putting down her bags, she faintly heard Li An talking to his bodyguard at the door. She felt something was amiss and rushed out, only to see that Li An had dismissed his bodyguard right there at the entrance.

"You... Why did you let him go" Yan Luoxi's mouth opened wide in alarm.

Li An grinned slyly as he wheeled himself over and grabbed Yan Luoxi’s hand, looking deeply affectionate. "Luoxi, I want to enjoy our private world together!"

Yan Luoxi felt like she had been hit by high-voltage electricity or stung by a venomous bee; she swiftly pulled away from Li An and stepped back defensively, saying without hesitation: "I’m telling you that right now there are just the two of us in this room. We have a purely professional relationship as boss and employee. If you dare to make any inappropriate moves or harbor ill intentions toward me, I will leave immediately."

Li An's handsome face turned ashen; his fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white, as if he were enduring great pain. Yan Luoxi could almost hear the grinding of his teeth. She couldn't comprehend why he was so upset just because she had warned him.

After a while, Li An suddenly sneered and adopted an indifferent tone: "Do you think you're some celestial being Every man in the world is after you. Why don’t you look in the mirror and see your unappealing self Do I look like I would be interested in someone as plain as you

Back then, when we were together at home, it was because I was young and inexperienced, temporarily intrigued by you due to proximity, but now that I’m older, I wouldn’t give a second glance. The last time here was when you were drunk and out of control, throwing yourself at me.

Where do you get off thinking so highly of yourself Do you really think you’re irresistible Even if there might be something slightly attractive about you, it’s long since lost its appeal to me. Don't you think I’m a bull that enjoys chewing cud and savoring the past!"terday, when the situation was so uncertain, he showed no sense of crisis; today, after his parents left early with Yan Luoxi, he still didn't think about anything negative.Li Yi felt a dull pain in h...
