He had previously cautioned Yanxi, but she paid no heed. It seemed he needed to devise an alternative approach.
Xiao Yichen and Luo Zishen didn’t leave Dream Phil Company until noon. Just before noon, Xiao Yichen took out his phone and sent Lin Wan a message.
At that moment, Lin Wan had saved the documents on her computer desk in the design department and was about to have lunch with Shen Yun. Suddenly, her phone chimed, signaling a message.
Lin Wan picked up her phone and checked her messages. It was a message from Xiao Yichen.
“Please come to the meeting room. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Initially hesitant, Lin Wan wasn’t eager to go. However, considering Xiao Yichen’s usual approach, she realized he might personally come to the design department.
Hence, she felt resigned and apologized to Shen Yun, who had already left for lunch with her other colleagues and headed for the meeting room.
Upon her arrival at the meeting room, she found that Luo Zishen had already departed.
Xiao Yichen approached Lin Wan and stood in front of her. He drew her into his embrace, holding her tightly.
“Let go of me.” Lin Wan attempted to break free. After all, they were in a professional setting, and someone might enter.
“Wan’er,” Xiao Yichen uttered softly.
As a result of his voice, Lin Wan gradually gave up.
Once Lin Wan had calmed down, Xiao Yichen proposed, “Let’s have lunch together. Brother Zishen has already gone to the restaurant.”
“You go and accompany Brother Zishen. I’ll have a simple meal. I still have work in the afternoon,” Lin Wan stated. Although she was immensely grateful to Brother Zishen for his help today, she didn’t genuinely desire a meal with Xiao Yichen.
“You can take the afternoon off. You Luan will request leave on your behalf.” Xiao Yichen insisted. The little lady’s productivity would probably decline after the commotion Yanxi caused this morning. Therefore, he intended to bring her home after lunch to rest for a few hours.
After considering it, Lin Wan concluded that she didn’t have much work scheduled for the afternoon. In her present mood, inspiration was in short supply.
“I’ll head to the office to retrieve my bag.” Lin Wan said. She had made a promise to Xiao Yichen, after ail.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you in the underground parking lot.” Xiao Yichen agreed.
Lin Wan nodded.
At a high-end restaurant near Dream Phil Company, Luo Zishen had reserved a private room and awaited the arrival of Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan. Twenty minutes later, they entered.
The three of them conversed as they dined.
Lin Wan remained relatively reticent, though something seemed different today. When she beheld the sumptuous array of dishes before her, her appetite waned, and the sight of greasy meat dishes even elicited a sense of nausea, inexplicably.
“Why aren’t you eating? Is the food not to your liking?” Xiao Yichen observed that Lin Wan beside him hadn’t eaten much for a considerable period and inquired.
“No, I’m just not very hungry,” Lin Wan replied. In Brother Zishen’s presence, she realized she shouldn’t engage in a cold war with Xiao Yichen.
Upon hearing her response, Xiao Yichen offered softly, “Try to eat a little, alright?”
Lin Wan nodded without further comment.
After their meal, Luo Zishen returned to the Luo Group, while Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan returned to the Blue Bay villa.
Upon their return, Auntie Li wasn’t at the villa. Feeling tired, Lin Wan retired upstairs to rest without exchanging words with Xiao Yichen.
When Lin Wan ascended the stairs, Xiao Yichen didn’t follow her. After waiting for a while, he ascended to the bedroom. There, he spotted Lin Wan resting on the bed. Upon recognizing her fatigue, he opted not to disturb her and went to the study to focus on his work.
Lin Wan slept for an extended period, awakening at four in the afternoon. Following her ablutions, she descended from the bedroom in her casual wear. She noticed Auntie Li tending to household chores on the first floor.
“Madam,” Auntie Li acknowledged Lin Wan’s presence and greeted her.
“Hello,” Lin Wan responded.. She then inquired, “Auntie Li, what are you preparing for dinner?”
