Chapter 164: Chapter 164

An Yaoluo was simply furious!

He had thought it was just Yanyan who had returned, but to his surprise, the person he had just seen was Li Tianyao!

In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping, he was in Yanyan’s room, pressing her against the bathtub!

He was already enraged, and the situation worsened when An Yan turned her head, revealing marks on her neck that were impossible to hide!

Trembling with anger, he slammed the seafood he was holding onto the table, then grabbed a stool to smash it down on Li Tianyao!

Li Tianyao caught the stool leg and stood up, restraining him.

An Yaoluo grew even more furious.

He used to be angry at this man for bullying his sister; now, he was infuriated at his own powerlessness against him.

Furious, An Yaoluo kicked out at Li Tianyao.

An Yan quickly reached out to hold his leg. "Big Brother, it’s not what you think. Calm down!"

The veins on An Yaoluo’s neck bulged. "You’re taking his side? I’m your big brother!"

An Yan signaled Li Tianyao to let go, then pulled An Yaoluo aside to explain, "He wasn’t bullying me just now; he was helping me. I dropped something under the bathtub!"

An Yaoluo frowned. "What was it?"

"The thumb ring I always wear around my neck. It fell off while I was bathing. My arms are too short to reach it, so I asked him to help me get it."

"You lost something, and I’m right here in the house. You didn’t ask me, you asked *him*?"

An Yaoluo felt a pang in his heart.

"Of course I asked him. He was already in my room. Was I supposed to tell him not to help and go downstairs to find you instead?" Follow current novᴇls on ⓝovelFire.net

An Yaoluo was speechless. He glared furiously at Li Tianyao, then turned to An Yan, his expression softening as he reined in his emotions. Rolling up his sleeves, he said, "Just you wait!"

It was just something that had fallen under the bathtub, wasn’t it? He could easily get it out for his sister. But with Li Tianyao here, crawling on the ground to retrieve it would be a definite blow to his image. So, he decided to lift the bathtub.

He tried to lift it, but the bathtub didn’t budge. He applied more force, but it still wouldn’t move!

An Yaoluo suddenly deflated. "I’ll go downstairs and get some tools..."

Before he could finish speaking, the bathtub was lifted. Li Tianyao had lifted it effortlessly with just one hand.

That schemer! He could have lifted the bathtub easily, so why did he have to use such a suggestive position?

After retrieving the thumb ring, An Yan put it back in her pocket.

Then she told An Yaoluo she was going to move in with Li Tianyao.

An Yaoluo’s face immediately darkened. "Yanyan, didn’t we agree you’d stay home until the wedding?"

"It’s not that I don’t want to stay home, but because..." An Yan considered it. If she told her brother about Gu Shifang, they probably wouldn’t be able to accept it. So, she altered her explanation. "Big Brother, you saw my variety show, right? Do you know what all those bottles and jars in the cave were?"

"Antiques, right? Wasn’t the cave an Ancient Tomb?"

"No, it was all drugs! Because I exposed them, the drug traffickers might try to retaliate against me."

Hearing the commotion, An Zhongbo, who had come upstairs, was aghast. "Those antiques were tools used by drug traffickers to hide drugs?"

"Yes. That’s why Tianyao suggested I move in with him. Dad, Big Brother, you should know, Tianyao is very skilled in martial arts."

"It’ll be safer living with him."

After much thought, An Zhongbo finally nodded in agreement for the sake of his daughter’s safety.

"Wait here for a moment."

With that, An Zhongbo wheeled himself downstairs and went back to his room.

An Yan thought he was going to give her some kind of weapon for self-defense. However, a few minutes later, she saw An Zhongbo emerge with a travel bag in his hand.

"I’ll accompany Yanyan! At my age, if I do encounter danger and die, so be it!"

An Yaoluo said, "Dad, you stay. I’ll go!"

An Yan looked at them, exasperated yet amused. "Stop fooling around, you two. None of you know any martial arts. If something really happened, you’d just be easy targets! Of course, if you’re really that worried, then I don’t have to go."

"Besides, Li Tianyao is right next door. I suppose he could get here before they... finish me off."

Upon hearing this, the An father and son instantly lost their will to argue. "Alright, go then. But..."

An Zhongbo glanced at Li Tianyao and lowered his voice. "Yanyan, you’re a girl. You have to protect yourself!"

An Yan gave an awkward hum of acknowledgment, nodded quickly, and then hurriedly pulled Li Tianyao away.

The two of them walked out of the An Family’s main gate. The Li Family’s gate was just a few dozen meters away.

An Yan deliberately slowed her pace. "A little slower. We need to make sure Gu Shifang’s people know I’m going to your house, right? We don’t want them going to the wrong door."

Li Tianyao reached out and ruffled her hair. "You don’t need to worry about that. I’ve already arranged everything."

As they spoke, a crowd of people emerged from the Li family’s villa.

"Congratulations, Ninth Master! Congratulations, Miss An Yan!"

Mu Chenyuan and his group of friends were there with their dates, and Tan Yanzhe and his band of followers were also present with their dates.

One could say that nearly all the wealthy scions of Luocheng’s prominent families had gathered.

Everyone surrounded An Yan and Li Tianyao as they entered the villa.

No one knew how Lu Feng had managed it, but in what seemed like the blink of an eye, a party venue had been set up on the lawn.

There were fairy lights, dining tables, barbecue grills, and all the seafood An Yan had bought was being put to good use.

An impromptu small stage had even been set up, where a few curvaceous women were singing and dancing.

Everyone was laughing and cheerfully congratulating them, presenting wedding gifts one after another.

An Yan was speechless. Weren’t they still discussing the wedding? What on earth were all these people doing?

"Mu Chenyuan found out we registered our marriage and organized all this himself. It’s also a good chance to let Gu Shifang know you’ll be living with me from now on," Li Tianyao explained earnestly.

An Yan glanced at him. She had a distinct feeling she’d been tricked.

"Sister Yan!" A young girl ran out from the crowd.

It was An Yan’s former deskmate, Mu Enyu!

She was so small and had been standing in the crowd, so An Yan hadn’t even noticed her.

An Yan wasn’t fond of such loud, ostentatious gatherings, so she took Mu Enyu inside the house.

The moment they were inside, the young girl couldn’t wait to blurt out, "Sister Yan, I heard from Su Siming and Liang Chen that you saved them! You’re so amazing!"

The girl’s eyes curved with excitement, her small face flushing. "And on the variety show, your performance was incredible! Everyone is calling you the Crusher of Scrubs!"

"Everyone?" An Yan asked, surprised.

"Yes! All our classmates watched that show. You’re an idol for the entire school now! Oh, right, where’s your Little Squirrel?"

An Yan turned to look at Wen Ya. Wen Ya turned and gestured, and soon a servant approached, carrying a glass tank about half a meter square.

Inside the tank, a small Green Snake was slithering around cheerfully.

Meanwhile, Little Squirrel sat despondently on a dry branch.

When it saw An Yan, its eyes lit up. "SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK..."
