Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Yes, 1 guess so,” Xiao Yichen replied, not intending to provide further details.

“An employee of the headquarters or the branch company under the Eastern Empire?” Xu Yanxi persisted in her questioning.

“Yes,” Xiao Yichen confirmed.

Inwardly, Xu Yanxi pondered, “Yichen seems to have no knowledge of the basic staff at the headquarters. How can he possibly know employees at his branch company?”

Xu Yanxi decided to give up after becoming perplexed by the situation.

After their meal, Xiao Yichen dropped Xu Yanxi off at her place. During the ride, he looked ahead and inquired, “Yanxi, what are your plans for the day after tomorrow?”

“The day after tomorrow?” Xu Yanxi repeated, thinking momentarily before responding, “I should be free.”

“On that day, I’d like to treat you to lunch. 1 have something important to tell you,” Xiao Yichen explained.

lie resolved to disclose his marital status and have an honest conversation with Yanxi, hoping she’d find the strength to let go of her feelings and genuine happiness.

“Sounds great!” Xu Yanxi agreed cheerfully.

Xiao Yichen didn’t delve into the topic further. After seeing Xu Yanxi off at her door and bidding her farewell, he headed back to Blue Bay villa.

In the Blue Bay Villa, Lin Wan was not having dinner again. Tonight, she wasn’t feeling hungry.

After Lin Wan showered and went upstairs, she lay in bed, prepared to rest.

She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but sleep eluded her no matter how she tossed and turned. Her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of the day’s news and the image of Xiao Yichen with the mysterious woman in the evening.

Her thoughts were chaotic, and she felt quite agitated.

In the end, Lin Wan got out of bed, put on a coat, and went to sit on the balcony, gazing at the nighttime sky.

Xiao Yichen returned home, searching the entire ground floor, but there was no sign of his little lady. He quickly ascended to the second floor.

Upon opening the bedroom door, he found no trace of Lin Wan. Panic began to set in as he scanned the entire room.

When he spotted a figure on the balcony, Xiao Yichen rushed toward it.

Lin Wan was aware of the sound behind her as she sat on a chair on the balcony. She didn’t need to guess. It was Xiao Yichen returning home.

Xiao Yichen approached the balcony, heading straight for Lin Wan. He knelt on one knee, gently taking hold of her hand.

“Wan’er,” Xiao Yichen called out urgently.

Upon hearing Xiao Yichen’s voice, Lin Wan turned to face him.

As she looked into his eyes, memories of the night’s events replayed.

Unable to suppress her curiosity any longer, she asked the burning question gnawing at her, “Who is Xu Yanxi?”

“She’s my friend. She just returned yesterday, and she also happens to be the mayor’s daughter,” Xiao Yichen explained, not intending to hide any details from Lin Wan.

Upon hearing Xiao Yichen’s answer, Lin Wan felt a sharp pang in her heart. Is she his childhood sweetheart? Does that mean they’ve had feelings for each other since childhood? He must have liked her for a long time, and the way Xu Yanxi acted today, being very affectionate with Xiao Yichen, she must also… love Xiao Yichen very much, right?

Lin Wan asked, “Is your relationship with her very close?”

Xiao Yichen locked eyes with Lin Wan and nodded.

Indeed, he and Yanxi shared a deep bond. They had been close since childhood, but their connection was purely a sibling-like friendship. It was unrelated to romantic love.

Upon hearing Xiao Yichen’s response, Lin Wan smiled inwardly and decided not to inquire further.

It turns out I’ve been too naive all along. 1 assume he loves me just because of one good quality he has. How can 1 forget that no love is integrated into our marriage from the beginning?

And now that Xu Yanxi has returned, it’s time to wake up from this intoxicating dream.

“I’m tired. I’m going to rest now.” With that, Lin Wan stood up, gently withdrew her hand from Xiao Yichen’s grasp, and headed into the bedroom.

“Wan’er…” Xiao Yichen called out to her, but all he received in return was the sight of her cold and distant retreating figure..
