Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I’m going to sleep in my mom’s room,” Lin Wan stated.
Xiao Yichen furrowed his brow. Does she not want to be with me?
“Your mom has probably gone to bed by now. Let’s not disturb her,” Xiao Yichen attempted to contain the frustration in his heart, gently tugging Lin Wan back. He spoke softly, “Wan’er, let’s sleep here, alright?”
After a moment, Xiao Yichen added, “1 promise I won’t do anything impulsive.”
Upon hearing Xiao Yichen’s words, Lin Wan considered that going to her mother’s room at this hour might disrupt her rest, and so…
In the end, Lin Wan compromised. She had no choice but to let Xiao Yichen sleep in her room.
They both lay on the bed. Xiao Yichen held Lin Wan tightly as if she might disappear.
“Let go of me. 1 feel very uncomfortable like this,” Lin Wan struggled and requested. His grip was too tight, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Xiao Yichen gazed at the woman in his arms. In the end, he indulged her and loosened his hold.
Once Lin Wan felt comfortable, she closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
She didn’t want to open her eyes and think even if she wasn’t tired. She was afraid that the feelings she had tried to suppress would resurface.
Upon observing that Lin Wan had closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, Xiao Yichen pondered what to say but chose to keep it to himself. He took a deep breath and shut his eyes to rest.
After a while, Lin Wan heard his steady breathing. After confirming that Xiao Yichen was asleep, she opened her eyes and looked at his face.
She felt wretched and sorrowful. She loved him deeply, but he didn’t belong to her. He loved another woman.
When Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan awoke the next day, Qiao Yujuan had already prepared breakfast. After the meal, the three of them headed to work.
Xiao Yichen spent the entire morning engrossed in reviewing documents. At around 11.00 am, he heard a knock on the door. Upon granting permission for the visitor to enter, he was met by You Luan’s arrival.
“Mr. Xiao, I’ve just received the latest information. Mr. Lu has returned,” You Luan reported.
Xiao Yichen, engrossed in reviewing documents, halted all activity upon hearing You Luan’s words. His thoughts ceased as well.
Xiao Yichen raised his gaze to You Luan and inquired, “Is Lu Hao’s information accurate?”
Lu Hao was once a legendary figure in the military world and was now the youngest Minister of Transportation in S Country. He possessed perfect looks and charisma, hailed from a distinguished and noble family, and had once been one of the four young masters of Ancheng City alongside Xiao Yichen and the Luo brothers.
Lu Hao was also the best friend of Xiao Yichen, Luo Zishen, and Luo Ziyan, forming a tight-knit quartet.
“Yes, it’s undoubtedly accurate,” You Luan affirmed with a firm nod.
“Got it,” Xiao Yichen responded. He observed You Luan’s nod and watched him leave the office.
Once the office door was closed, Xiao Yichen reached for his phone and dialed Luo Ziyan’s number.
After two rings, Luo Ziyan answered the call and asked, “Yichen, has something happened to Lin Wan again?”
Xiao Yichen’s expression darkened instantly. He questioned, “Why are you always thinking about my woman?”
On the other end of the line, Luo Ziyan was momentarily at a loss for words. He hadn’t been thinking about her. He had merely speculated.
But his speculation didn’t seem to be on the mark this time.
Since he hadn’t guessed correctly, Luo Ziyan decided not to address Xiao Yichen’s question.. He cleared his throat and asked, “Why did you call me?”
