Upon returning to the design department, Lin Wan requested a day off from the director, citing feeling unwell. She grabbed her bag and left the office.
Back at Blue Bay villa, Auntie Li was not at home. Lin Wan could not hang her bag on the hook at the entrance, so she dropped it on the floor and stomped upstairs.
Upon reaching the bedroom, Lin Wan locked the door behind her. She went to the corner of the room, squatted down, hugged her legs with both hands and buried her head in her knees as tears welled up.
Last night, he had gone to the office to keep her company and had dinner with her at home. Her heart had softened, and she almost fell for his apparent kindness. But today…
He had presented her with such a gift early in the morning.
Their marriage seemed to be just a game to him. In his heart, it was Xu Yanxi, his childhood lover, whom he truly wanted to marry. No wonder Xu Yanxi referred to herself as his fiancee.
Was he discussing his wedding date with Xu Yanxi last night with the mayor and his wife?
Is he planning to divorce me before marrying Xu Yanxi?
“Boohoo…” Lin Wan cried, feeling utterly miserable.
At the same time, in the East Mansion, Xiao Yichen headed straight for the meeting room after arriving at the office early in the morning. Upon returning to his office after the meeting, he was surprised to see You Luan knocking on the door and entering.
“Mr. Xiao,” You Luan greeted him before asking, “Did you visit the Xu family last night?”
Xiao Yichen frowned, uncertain why You Luan was inquiring about this.
You Luan observed Xiao Yichen’s expression and realized he was confused. He promptly handed today’s morning newspaper to him, saying, “The news is reporting that you and Miss Xu… are getting married soon.”
“And they also captured a photo of you communicating with the mayor,” You Luan added carefully. He believed this was a rumor and a scandal and feared that Xiao Yichen might become furious.
Upon hearing You Luan’s words, Xiao Yichen’s face darkened. He swiftly grabbed the newspaper and examined it, his expression increasingly grim.
“Find out the reporter.” Xiao Yichen angrily issued the order, then grabbed his car keys and phone before hurrying out of the office.
He drove rapidly to Dream Phil Company.
His wife must have already seen the news. He needed to clarify the situation.
He had no connection to Xu Yanxi. He couldn’t marry her, and he wouldn’t divorce Lin Wan. Never.
Upon reaching Dream Phil company, Xiao Yichen went directly to the design department.
His sudden visit shocked everyone in the design department, as they were engrossed in their work.
The department director, although taken aback, knew how to receive guests properly. He quickly approached Xiao Yichen and greeted, “Hello, Mr. Xiao.” “Where’s Lin Wan?” Xiao Yichen asked, his gaze scanning the office, searching for Lin Wan.
“Oh, Lin Wan isn’t feeling well today and has taken a day off. She’s not in the office right now,” the director of the design department replied truthfully.
Xiao Yichen frowned slightly, pondering for a moment. Without saying anything, he turned and left the design department.
After Xiao Yichen departed, the colleagues in the design department began discussing the situation.
“Why did Mr. Xiao come looking for Lin Wan? Is it possible…”
“No way, right? The news just broke today that Mr. Xiao is getting married.”
“But wasn’t that woman who came to the company last time the mayor’s daughter? She claimed Lin Wan stole her fiance.”
The office buzzed with shock. Could it be true that Lin Wan was related to Mr.. Xiao?
