you. If you don't want to leave, I can leave immediately," Yan Luoxi said as she pretended to sit up.Lǐ An took one look at her and hurriedly retreated toward the door, bowing repeatedly to Yan Luoxi...Chapter 36: Understanding Clothes Better Than People

Yan Luoxi tightly gripped the teacup in her hand. Over these years, she had experienced many things and suffered greatly, learning some truths about the world—some habits die hard!

She knew that Li An wouldn't be so kind to her; he had always treated her poorly and never spoke to her kindly. How could he spend time every day preparing breakfast for her in different ways, or let her stay in the employee dormitory All these actions were just his way of finding more opportunities to humiliate her; it was simply another means of tormenting her.

After all these years, she was still nothing but a plaything for him during moments of passion. This reality had never changed.

Seeing Yan Luoxi's face instantly pale, Li An felt as if everything reverted to the past—the way she would cower in a corner after being bullied or wronged, clamping her lips shut tightly, that frail and helpless little figure—he could never forget it.

Time flew by, and she became more repressed and resilient. It was rare now to see the fear and distress of old in her eyes; yet seeing her like this made his heart ache even more, wishing he could slap himself for being so insincere. Hadn't he already decided to be nice to her Why did he keep provoking her with words—just because she scratched him a couple times

When ordering the dishes, He Yufan and Ye Zixin were very reserved, each picking an innocuous vegetarian dish as if going through the motions. Knowing Yan Luoxi's love for meat, Li An deliberately ordered heavy-flavored dishes that she would enjoy.

While waiting for their food, He Yufan turned her eyes around and pretended to be curious and innocent, boldly asking her question: "Mr. Li, do you have a girlfriend"

Leaf Xin couldn't help but look up at Li An, and Yan Luoxi, who had been fidgeting with her teacup, perked up to listen curiously to Li An's response.

The expression on Li An's face was hard to read; he only stared intently at Yan Luoxi as if his gaze were piercing through the top of her head and beyond.

Yan Luoxi waited for a moment, seeing that Li An hadn't spoken, she couldn't help but look up at him. Their eyes met, and when she saw him staring intensely at her, her heart raced wildly; she unconsciously tightened her grip on the teacup, fearing that Li An might suddenly start blabbering nonsense again.

Seeing Yan Luoxi's anxious expression, Li An seemed finally satisfied. He turned to look at Hey Ruifan, who was eagerly waiting for his answer: "Not yet, but perhaps in the near future."

This single sentence made Hey Ruifan feel elated and optimistic about her prospects.

The manager here knew that Li An had a quick temper and served their food promptly. The dishes were visually appealing and delicious, causing both Hey Ruifan and Leaf Xin to praise them repeatedly. Li An tilted his head slightly towards Yan Luoxi; he noticed that the usually ravenous girl barely touched her plate of sumptuous dishes, clearly still pouting.

Yan Luoxi seemed tired, hardly speaking or eating. She just stared blankly at a spot as if lost in thought but also as if not thinking about anything at all.

Li An chatted enthusiastically with Hey Ruifan and Leaf Xin for a while before it appeared he suddenly noticed the gloomy Yan Luoxi. He asked her seriously, "Miss Yan, why aren't you eating Do you not like the taste of the food"

Yan Luoxi looked at his hypocritical face and felt as nauseated as if she had swallowed a fly. However, she had to force a smile on her face: "No, the food is delicious. I’m eating." After saying that, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating noisily, knowing that Li An hated it when people made slurping noises while eating.

When someone wants to be disliked, they can come up with endless creative ways to do so, which is much easier than trying to win others' favor.

He Yufan couldn’t sit still seeing Yan Luoxi acting this way. She kicked her under the table twice but when she didn’t react, pretended to joke and said, "Why are you eating without any grace today"

"Oh, then I won't eat vegetables anymore. Drinking soup is okay, right!" Yan Luoxi acted dumbly as she poured herself a bowl of soup and drank it loudly.

He Yufan helplessly glared at the unladylike Yan Luoxi.

Li An saw that Yan Luoxi was deliberately making a scene. He was both amused and annoyed, wanting to mock her but held back because He Yufan and Ye Zixin were still there. This person wasn’t very patient anyway, and hearing He Yufan and Ye Zixin at this moment made him feel extremely irritable.

Just then, Shao Junhe called, inviting him to soak in the hot springs. What a lunatic! Soaking in the middle of the night Li An was so angry he wanted to curse but thought it might be a good opportunity to escape. Perhaps after he left, Yan Luoxi could eat more freely!

Thus, he said that he had urgent matters and needed to leave. He ordered several dishes and two bottles of red wine and told the three of them they could take what was left home for tomorrow’s meal.

An Li preemptively settled the bill and instructed the driver to wait for them downstairs. They could leave whenever they were done eating.

Watching An Li leave, He Yufan clasped her hands together in admiration: "Who would have thought there are such wonderful men in this world Not only is he incredibly handsome but also so considerate and understanding. He even planned our dinner for tomorrow! Whoever marries him will surely be the happiest person alive!"

He’s not just good at interpreting people's minds but also good at taking off their clothes!

Yan Luo夕 muttered to herself, picking up her chopsticks and frequently reaching for the dishes in front of her: "Haha, you enjoy your happiness. I’m going to be selfish!"

Moving was quite exhausting. Yan Luo夕 was really hungry after折騰ing半 a night. She had previously refused to eat what An Li ordered out of anger towards him for his inappropriate behavior in the car and at the dinner table. Now that he was gone, she thought, why not enjoy the food So she started eating.

An Li stood by the suite door at this moment. Through the crack in the door, he saw Yan Luo夕 happily digging into her meal. He let out a gentle sigh of relief and felt immeasurable tenderness towards her childish behavior. Scolding her playfully as "Little brat," he left with ease.

He Yufan brought Yan Luo夕 into the employee apartment of Anrui International in an extremely ostentatious manner, and all B大 students interning at Anrui International were also fortunate enough to move into the employee apartments as a result.

This exceptional arrangement naturally caused quite a stir within Anrui International. Gossip spread like wildfire, and everyone had one question: Who was it that managed to get the usually strict and cold-hearted President Li to make an exception Who had such charm or could be so detestableself; and the child was healthy and getting more beautiful every day.Li An held the chubby little baby in his arms. After just seven days of growth, this child seemed to have undergone a transformatio...
