Chapter 74: Chapter 74 She Doesn’t Want to Count

An Yan pressed her lips together primly and asked, "So, does that mean when you find him and the danger is gone, I can make friends normally?"

"Mm-hmm!"

"Li Tianyao, why didn’t you tell me all of this sooner?"

"Because these are things I should bear! You chose me because you wanted a good life with me, not to live in fear because of me!"

This statement was indeed truthful! If she had known from the beginning that being with him could mean facing the threat of death at any moment, she would have been insane to choose him!

Yet Li Tianyao’s current expression made her subconsciously uncomfortable.

It was as if he was waiting to see her moved by his words! But why should she be moved? What does Gu Shifang or Gu Jiufang have to do with her? Why should she be dragged into his vendetta?

"Does this count as tricking someone into marriage?"

"What did you say?" The man looked visibly surprised.

"I did choose you, but in all the time we’ve been together, you never told me about the huge trouble you’re in!"

"So?"

"So, since you care so much about me, you definitely wouldn’t want me to be in danger, right? If that’s the case, our previous agreement is void."

An Yan met his gaze, her fingers unconsciously twisting together below, gently rubbing.

She wanted to test something. To see if he was genuinely concerned for her safety or if it was just his possessiveness.

Li Tianyao twisted the Buddha beads on his wrist, a prickling sensation in his chest. He curled his lips and snorted, "Girl, I’m giving you one chance to rephrase that!"

Provoking him and still wanting to back out? Did she take him, Li Tianyao, for a dead man?

Meeting his threatening gaze, An Yan composed herself and said, "I meant that until you catch that man, I guarantee I won’t associate with other men, to avoid getting into danger and implicating you!"

"Good girl!" The man smiled with satisfaction and placed a piece of beef on her plate. "Let’s eat!"

"Oh." An Yan lowered her head mechanically, eating absentmindedly.

Now she was sure. Li Tianyao’s possessiveness was unwavering, and it probably wouldn’t change even if they caught his enemy in the future! So she still had to find a way to break up peacefully! And she had to act fast. After all, the sooner they split up, the sooner she could escape his nonsensical world of feuds and vendettas.

To this day, An Yan couldn’t fathom how, in a society governed by law, someone would dare to throw a child into a pack of dogs. Even if it were for practicing Ancient Martial Arts, such a perverse method shouldn’t be used, right? Were the state laws just for show? Could the scenes from Tianyao’s dreams actually be fabrications of his subconscious?

An Yan’s brows furrowed unconsciously again.

She thought she had to leave, and soon!

After the meal, the two went to the study together.

Li Tianyao sat at his desk reviewing documents, while An Yan nestled into a beanbag chair, holding a thread-bound ancient book, lost in her own thoughts.

After thinking for a moment, she reached for her laptop and typed into the search bar:

What kind of women do men hate the most?

The results were ranked as follows:

1. Women who lack substance, are shallow, materialistic, and only know how to shop!

2. Women who cling to men regardless of the situation!

3. Drama queens! Always saying, "You don’t love me!" So annoying!

An Yan’s eyes lit up.

Shallow, materialistic, shopaholic—that she could do. Isn’t it just constantly asking for money? Wait, that’s not a good idea. The one thing Li Tianyao isn’t short of is money. So only the second and third points were applicable.

Her mind made up, An Yan closed her laptop and turned to look at Li Tianyao.

She had to admit, the man was truly handsome, especially his profile. Like a handsome statue in a sketching class! Even the shape of his brow bone was captivating.

KNOCK KNOCK!

Lu Feng knocked and entered, approaching Li Tianyao to whisper, "Ninth Master, the Commander has requested your presence back in the city tomorrow at noon for a debriefing!"

"Mm-hmm!"

"Then I’ll arrange a flight for nine o’clock tomorrow morning?"

"Mm-hmm."

Having received a definitive answer, Lu Feng excused himself.

An Yan’s eyes instantly lit up even more, her burning gaze making it impossible for Li Tianyao to ignore. "What is it?"

An Yan grinned. "I want to visit my second brother tomorrow..."

"Absolutely not!" the man stated directly, not even letting her finish.

An Yan wasn’t angry. She curved her eyes, smiled, and said, "He’s my brother, my own flesh and blood! Even a fool could see that person couldn’t possibly pose as my second brother!"

"Still no."

Gu Jiufang wouldn’t consider such things when looking for a host; any man could be a potential target.

An Yan persisted, "I must go! Just like you have things you want to do, what I want is for my family to be harmonious and happy!

"I exposed Bai Xiaoyun and An Shimeng for that very reason!

"Now, my father and eldest brother have changed. As long as I can bring my second brother back, my wish will be fulfilled. Could you really bear to see me falter at this final step?"

Li Tianyao said nothing.

An Yan pressed on, "You just said I was the person closest to you. You’re afraid of bad people taking me away, but aren’t you afraid of hurting my feelings?"

Li Tianyao’s mouth twitched noticeably.

An Yan, sensing victory was within reach, said, "Since you’re worried about me, then why don’t you accompany me? We’ve never actually gone out together since we got together."

An Yan put on a deliberately coy voice, "I know you’re busy, but no matter how busy, you can’t ignore your fiancée’s needs.

"You just said I’m very important to you! Yet you won’t even accompany me. That’s really unfair of you!"

Although she hadn’t made any particularly intimate gestures, merely affecting that coquettish tone was enough to draw his gaze to her red lips. He swallowed hard and asked, "Where to?"

"An Ancient Style Village. I’ve heard the scenery there is exceptionally beautiful, with lush mountains and clear waters. All the buildings have preserved their ancient appearance..."

Watching her red lips open and close, Li Tianyao suddenly reached out and beckoned with a finger. "Come here!"

"What for?"

"Let me see your itinerary!"

See for yourself! She already had it ready on her phone!

But as soon as she drew near, he reached out, cinched her waist, and pulled her onto his lap. His long, strong fingers cupped the back of her head, cutting off any retreat. His cool, thin lips pressed against hers.

An Yan raised a hand to push him away, but then slowly retracted it.

Her mind frantically reminded her: She was now a clingy little vixen, wanting to stick to him every second, regardless of the occasion!

Fortunately, his kiss, aside from conveying his desire, didn’t make her uncomfortable.

Only when his advances became too bold did An Yan decisively press down on his fingers.
