When he is the elder brother
However, just as Yan Luo Yi had finished rejecting her, she had just taken two steps back when the man stretched out her long arm and once again tyrannically took her into her embrace.
"Alright, stop messing around and come back with me." Pan Lixin"s voice seemed like it was coaxing an awkward child.
Yan Luo Yi"s heart ached. In his eyes, did he think that she had gotten into some sort of conflict with him after leaving these past few days?
Yan Luo Yi closed her eyes. Even under the intense struggle, she still gently, soundlessly wanted to leave his embrace.
However, the man was unwilling to do so. Pan Lixin"s long arm tightly wrapped around her waist as he lowered his head to size up her expression.
At this moment, Yan Luo Yi"s expression carried a hint of pain and sorrow, causing him to be stunned. Facing her expression, he started to feel helpless.
He stretched out his hand, allowing her to take two steps back. Yan Luo Yi lifted her head, a man she hadn"t seen for half a month seemed to have lost some weight as well. Was it because of her?
"Luo Yi, tell me, why did you suddenly leave?" Pan Lixin"s eyes were pleading.
Yan Luo Yi bit her lips. She could not tell him the reason, nor did she know how to explain it. Pan Lixin sighed. He had investigated Yan Luo Yi"s contact information, but had never come into contact with her as much as possible. Therefore, when she was with her, she had changed her love for him.
"Did I do something wrong?" How did I disappoint you? " Pan Lixin was finding the reason himself, because he felt that all of this was his fault.
Yan Luo Yi immediately became flabbergasted and shook her head with all her might. "No, it has nothing to do with you. Li Xin Ge, don"t blame yourself, it"s not your fault."
She didn"t want him to feel guilty and remorseful. If he was wrong, it was her fault.
"Then tell me, why did you leave me? Was there a reason? Or who threatened you? " Pan Lixin had thought through all of the reasons within this period of time, but he could not determine which one.
Yan Luo Yi gently shook her head, "No, it"s my own fault, it has nothing to do with anyone. Li Xin Ge, I"m sorry, I"ve disappointed you."
Pan Lixin"s breathing slightly quickened, and he immediately took a step forward, wanting to hold her hand. Yan Luo Yi sensed that she had hidden her hand behind her back, and was silently refusing his approach.
Her action made Pan Lixin"s heart feel as if it was being grasped by a force, and it was a bit painful.
Did she really hate his approach?
When Pan Lixin saw Yan Luo Yi"s calm expression, it was true that she did not seem to be under any threat or pressure. Her calmness, however, caused him to feel even more uneasy.
"Did I put pressure on you?" Pan Lixin asked in a low voice. He was about to be promoted to Pavilion Master, could it be that this ident.i.ty of his was causing her to feel pressured?
She continued to shake her head, "No, it has nothing to do with you, it"s my own fault. Li Xin Ge, please forget about me, you will meet a better woman."
Pan Lixin frowned, she lowered her voice yet she said in an unquestionable tone, "In this life, other than you, I will not accept any other woman."
Yan Luo Yi"s eyes widened. The resolution in her eyes was absolute, like a forbidden spell that had come to envelop her.
Yan Luo Yi suddenly turned around and shook her head frantically, "No! We can"t be together... "No way."
Pan Lixin frowned, she said that it was impossible, she said that it was not possible, but in her tone of voice, she did not have any intention to reject him, it was just that, it was as if there was some kind of force that made her reject him.
"Why not? "Why not?" Pan Lixin"s unfathomable eyes flashed with speculation.
"No means no, I …" Yan Luo Yi really wanted to say the reason, because she wanted him to know that she was an unlucky person, and that she wanted him to stay away from her.
Pan Lixin went forward and forcefully pulled her shoulders over, causing her anxious and fl.u.s.tered eyes to meet his. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a low and deep voice, "Luo Yi, why not?"
"I …" Yan Luo Yi closed her eyes as her tears slid down her cheeks.
Pan Lixin"s heart ached because of her. If this was his fault, then she would definitely blame herself to the end. But why was she in such pain?
"Luo Yi, look at me. I need you to tell me, do you love me?" Pan Lixin asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice. He wanted her to personally say the same answer.
Yan Luo Yi let out a light breath as she opened her eyes. It was a man who had eyes filled with deep feelings for her that made her heart beat intensely, so how could she not love him? The person she loved the most in this life was him.
"I …" In the bottom of Yan Luo Yi"s heart, she had already loudly answered this question, but when she spoke it, she hesitated, but if she admitted it, then it would be even more inseparable.
"Is this answer really that difficult for you?" Pan Lixin"s heart was filled with a sense of loss, her hesitation had already corroded his heart.
Yan Luo Yi lowered her eyes. She had been hiding from him for so many days, why had she come here?
It was to protect him, to keep him safe. If she told him the truth now, then everything would return to its starting point. He would be injured.
Her grandparents, her parents, her adoptive parents, and her foster father, they had all proven in their lives that she was the one who was born to bring disaster upon her family. Her brother had been in a car accident, and he had also been shot.
Why were they all in trouble and she still in good shape? Why didn"t something happen to her? Why?
All of these things surfaced in Yan Luo Yi"s mind, and her heart slowly became resolute, even her eyes became calm. She blinked, and even forced back her tears.
Pan Lixin was waiting for her answer and his heart was in a panic. He saw that Yan Luo Yi"s sad eyes had slowly turned into determination and calmness.
"Luo Yi, answer me." Pan Lixin"s breathing slightly quickened.
Yan Luo Yi looked up at him and smiled, "Li Xin Ge, thank you for taking care of me during this period. Thank you for finding my past and helping me take care of my foster father.
Pan Lixin"s pupils contracted tightly. Looking at her smile which was as bright as the sun, her words, were like a lock that locked onto his intense emotions.
Brother? She started to think of him as an older brother?
Yan Luo Yi looked forward to the request, "Is that alright? Li Xin Ge? "
Pan Lixin held onto her shoulder, and with a slight tremble, he pulled her fist back.
"You only think of me as your brother?" Pan Lixin asked with a hoa.r.s.e voice, his eyes which were as clear as spring water, it seemed that there were no traces of love in his eyes.
Yan Luo Yi lowered her eyes, "I"m sorry, I might have made you misunderstand in the past."
Pan Lixin"s heart thumped. Thinking back at this moment, this relations.h.i.+p, it was as if he had always thought that in terms of love, her reliance on him, her liking him, was only love in his eyes.
And in her heart, she only considered him to be her brother?
Suddenly, a moral wall fiercely blocked his heart. If she only treated him as an elder brother, then he would have long been distracted by her. He even had thoughts of wickedness towards her, and even yearned for her at night.
Pan Lixin took a step back. In his pocket, the proposed ring seemed to be unnecessary.
That was true. She was still too young. She couldn"t differentiate between love and kins.h.i.+p, so she couldn"t be blamed.
Pan Lixin"s gaze seemed to be enduring something as he softly sighed, "Alright, Luo Yi, take good care of yourself and return home at any time."
When he finished, he turned around with a steady gait, as if he had a trace of confusion in his steps. When he was at the door, he held his palms against the doorframe, as if to use the force of the door to steady himself.
When Pan Lixin was about to leave, he turned around to look at the girl behind him. Luo Yi pursed her lips and smiled as she sent him off.
Pan Lixin"s heart was in a mess, he closed the door and left.
Just as Qin Zheng was thinking that his distinguished self was about to succeed, that the Miss Yan might have already agreed to the proposal, when he saw the man who walked out from inside, Jun Yan"s face turned a little pale white, and the look in his eyes became even more unfathomable and unfathomable than usual.
"Sir." Qin Zheng immediately reached out to support his.
