Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After her workday ended, Lin Wan left the office building alongside Shen Yun. Following their goodbyes, Lin Wan proceeded to where she typically awaited Xiao Yichen.
She stood by the roadside not far from the company, patiently waiting.
However, as 20 minutes passed, then 4.0 minutes, there was still no sign of Xiao Yichen.
Finally, Lin Wan’s patience ran out. She retrieved her phone and dialed Xiao Yichen’s number.
At that very moment, Xiao Yichen was driving to the restaurant with Xu Yanxi.
When his phone rang, he reached for it and, upon seeing the caller’s name, he realized he had forgotten to call Lin Wan.
With a sense of urgency, Xiao Yichen was about to answer the call when Xu Yanxi, who sat beside him, snatched the phone from his hand.
“Who’s calling?” Xu Yanxi inquired casually at first, looking at Xiao Yichen’s phone. “Who’s Wan’er?”
Xiao Yichen was stunned and hesitated for a response. After a moment, he began, “It’s important…”
Before Xiao Yichen could finish, Xu Yanxi interjected.
“It must be a woman. You can’t answer it.” She took action on Xiao Yichen’s behalf and ended the call.
Subsequently, Xu Yanxi did not return the phone to Xiao Yichen. Instead, she turned it off and placed it in her bag.
“Chen, I’m back now. You are not allowed to interact with any woman other than me. Work is an exception, but I want to keep a close eye on you,” Xu Yanxi declared with an air of confidence and willingness in her voice.
“Yanxi, you…” Xiao Yichen was displeased with Xu Yanxi’s actions, but he understood her personality well, and her actions were expected.
Xu Yanxi appeared somewhat upset when she glanced at Xiao Yichen. She showed no intention of reconsidering her actions, appearing even more agitated than Xiao Yichen. She turned her gaze toward the window.
Upon observing Xu Yanxi’s demeanor, Xiao Yichen felt at a loss.
As he gripped the steering wheel tightly and focused on the road ahead, Xiao Yichen felt deeply concerned about Lin Wan.
Is she still waiting for me near the company?
Xiao Yichen blamed himself for not calling her in the afternoon. It was his oversight.
Upon their arrival at the restaurant’s private room, Luo Zishen and Luo Ziyan were taken aback when they saw Xu Yanxi.
“Zishen, Ziyan, there’s no need to react so dramatically upon seeing me, is there?” Xu Yanxi addressed the brothers with a smile.
“No, Yanxi, why did you suddenly… return? There was no prior indication!” Luo Ziyan was still in shock.
“I wanted to surprise you. So, surprise!” Xu Yanxi responded with a smile.
Once Luo Ziyan slowly adjusted to the surprise, he decided not to dwell on it and inquired, “1 thought Yichen would bring Lin…”
However, Luo Ziyan’s elder brother interrupted him before he could finish.
“Ziyan,” Luo Zishen called out with a hint of gravity in his eyes. He addressed his younger brother, “Let’s order.”
It’s inappropriate to talk about Lin Wan on such an occasion.
Though he wasn’t aware of how Yichen was handling the situation. Yanxi’s personality was well-known, so the topic of Lin Wan was left untouched for now.
Luo Ziyan promptly regained his composure and concealed his emotions. He smiled at Xu Yanxi and asked, “What would you like to eat, Yanxi? I’ll order for you.”
Upon seeing Luo Ziyan’s enthusiasm, Xu Yanxi decided not to read too much into it and began discussing the menu with him.
Xiao Yichen and Luo Zishen exchanged glances but remained silent.
