“Let go of me.” Lin Wan struggled, but she couldn’t escape Xiao Yichen’s grip.
“I missed you so much,” Xiao Yichen held her tightly and whispered.
He had been sleepless all night, with the image of Lin Wan filling his mind. Now that he saw her, he couldn’t let go.
Lin Wan resisted briefly but then surrendered. She stopped fighting and let Xiao Yichen hug her, saying nothing.
They remained like that until Xiao Yichen reluctantly eased his embrace, though he didn’t completely let go. Instead, he turned her around, bent down, and kissed her lips.
“Hmm…” Lin Wan couldn’t remain silent when he kissed her so passionately. She started to resist once more.
Lin Wan’s resistance only fueled Xiao Yichen’s fervor.
He longed to claim her right then and there, to show her that she was his only woman and that his body only belonged to her.
However, the rational part of his mind reminded him that they were in the office, which was not the right place for such an intimate encounter with Lin Wan.
After a while, Xiao Yichen reluctantly released Lin Wan but kept her in his arms, not allowing her to leave.
Once Lin Wan caught her breath, a hint of self-deprecation flashed across her face. She asked, “Xu Yanxi didn’t satisfy you last night?”
Xiao Yichen frowned at her words, looking down at the woman in his arms with surprise.
Did she think he wanted to be with Yanxi?
“Have you had enough?” Lin Wan continued, “Can you let go of me now?”
Xiao Yichen’s frown deepened. Lin Wan’s words surprised him and wounded him deeply.
He wanted to be close to her, but it was merely a way to vent in her eyes.
Reluctantly, he released Lin Wan.
After being let go, Lin Wan promptly turned around, opened the door to the manager’s office, and exited.
Xiao Yichen watched the closed door with a heavy heart, bitterness, and discomfort consuming him.
Lin Wan didn’t return to her office. She went straight to the restroom, locked herself in a stall, and cried.
It was already 9.00 pm when Xiao Yichen returned to the Eastern Empire. When he entered the office, You Luan was waiting to report to him.
“Mr. Xiao, the receptionist, just called. Miss Xu has arrived,” You Luan said.
Xiao Yichen was furious upon hearing this.
“Go ahead,” he ordered.
You Luan nodded, fully understanding what Xiao Yichen expected. After exiting the CEO’s office, he grabbed a document and left the top-floor office.
Xu Yanxi, in a slim-fitting red dress and ten-centimeter heels, approached Xiao Yichen’s office with a seductive walk.
“Chen…” She called out to Xiao Yichen affectionately and moved closer with a smile.
Xiao Yichen stood his ground and glared at her.
Xu Yanxi extended her hand to embrace him when she reached him, but Xiao Yichen stopped her.
He swiftly grabbed her arm, restraining her.
“Chen…” Xu Yanxi called out, her surprise evident as she looked at Xiao Yichen.
“What more do you want?” Xiao Yichen asked angrily, his eyes filled with resentment.
He despised her but couldn’t truly hate her. Yet, he felt a sense of disgust for her actions.
Xu Yanxi was baffled and didn’t understand what Xiao Yichen meant.
“You are willing to do anything to achieve your goal, right?” Xiao Yichen continued, his gaze intense as he stared at Xu Yanxi..
