Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was already past eight when Lin Wan returned home. She entered the living room with a sense of disappointment and sat down on the couch.
Auntie Li wasn’t at the villa tonight, leaving Lin Wan alone in the spacious, empty villa.
After sitting on the sofa for a while, Lin Wan felt hungry. Only then did she go to the dining room to find something to eat.
Yichen must have informed Auntie Li earlier that she didn’t need to prepare dinner tonight, so now that Lin Wan has returned, there’s no dinner.
But where has Yichen gone? He promised to take me out for dinner tonight, yet I can’t reach him on the phone.
After a simple meal, Lin Wan no longer felt hungry. She returned to the living room, sat on the couch, and watched TV, waiting for Xiao Yichen to return.
In Lin Wan’s mind, Xiao Yichen might have been delayed due to something, considering his busy schedule. After all, he had been very busy, so last-minute changes were normal.
Their dinner wasn’t particularly lively in the restaurant’s private room, but it was not unpleasant either. After the meal, Luo Zishen and Luo Ziyan left first.
Xiao Yichen and Xu Yanxi got into the car. Upon noticing Xu Yanxi fastened her seatbelt, he suggested, “I’ll take you home.”
“No, I don’t want to go home,” Xu Yanxi immediately responded. She looked at Xiao Yichen with a determined expression. “1’11 stay in a hotel. Chen, please take me to one.”
Xiao Yichen, without showing any frustration, agreed. He started the car engine and took her to a hotel as she requested.
Xu Yanxi had reserved a five-star hotel affiliated with the Eastern Empire. Xiao Yichen parked the car in the hotel’s underground parking lot, and the two took the elevator to the suite’s entrance. A waiter was already waiting with a card.
“Miss Xu, here is your card.” The waiter handed the card to Xu Yanxi and greeted Xiao Yichen. “Hi, Mr. Xiao.”
“You may leave now.” Xiao Yichen acknowledged the waiter. As he finished speaking, Xu Yanxi opened the door and walked inside.
Xiao Yichen paused at the entrance for a moment before following her inside. “Chen, do you remember this room? 1 celebrated my 18th birthday here. You and Ziyan were the ones who threw me a birthday party.” Xu Yanxi reminisced happily as she looked around the suite.
Only then did Xiao Yichen recall that they hosted Yanxi’s birthday celebration in this very suite in this hotel.
However, those memories were distant and fading.
“Yanxi, have a good night’s rest.” Xiao Yichen approached Xu Yanxi. “Is it time to give me back my phone?”
Xu Yanxi smiled upon hearing his words, taking her phone from her bag and handing it to Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen accepted the phone but didn’t turn it on immediately. He placed it in his pocket and looked at Xu Yanxi. “Well… I should go now.”
He was eager to hurry home and check if Lin Wan was there.
He was deeply worried about his beloved wife.
He missed their dinner appointment today without any prior notice.
Upon seeing Xiao Yichen preparing to leave, Xu Yanxi swiftly walked over. Just as he took a few steps, she stood before him, blocking his path.
“Chen,” she called out coquettishly, touching his neck. “Don’t leave tonight… please?”
Xiao Yichen remained unmoved by her actions. He grabbed her arms and attempted to pull her away from himself.
“Yanxi, don’t…” Before Xiao Yichen could finish his sentence, Xu Yanxi’s voice stopped him.
“Chen, I love you. 1 truly love you.” Xu Yanxi gazed at Xiao Yichen’s handsome face and confessed affectionately. “I’ve chosen you since we were young, and now that we’ve grown up tonight… I want to give you everything I have..”
