Xiao Yichen’s greatest concern was that she might be traumatized.
Fortunately, she came out unharmed. If something had indeed befallen her…
Xiao Yichen couldn’t bear to entertain the thought further. He feared what he might do in a fit of madness if anything had happened to his little woman.
“Mm…” Lin Wan replied softly to Xiao Yichen, nestling her head into his chest and pressing her face against him.
“Rest now. You won’t need to go to work for the next few days. I’ll have You Luan, arrange some time off for you.” Xiao Yichen’s voice was tender and soothing.
“Okay…” Lin Wan snuggled deeper into Xiao Yichen’s arms, knowing that, as the boss of Dream Phil Company, he could easily arrange leave for her.
The night was calm and quiet. Xiao Yichen gazed at the little woman in his embrace as she gradually drifted into a peaceful slumber, and his heart inexplicably settled.
Now that he had the chance to reflect, Xiao Yichen suddenly realized that this little woman had occupied his heart without him even realizing it. He seemed to have fallen in love with her.
He hadn’t given it much thought in the past, content to shower her with affection and adore her physically. However, amidst all his panic, worry, and ceaseless thoughts tonight, he couldn’t deny this fact.
He had truly fallen in love with her. The kind of love that emanated from the depths of his heart.
The following day marked a new beginning. Lin Wan awoke naturally and opened her eyes to find the handsome face of the man before her.
She looked at his features. Each one seemingly chiseled by an artist’s hand, she couldn’t help but appreciate his stunning appearance. Xiao Yichen was undoubtedly… quite handsome.
Lost in her reverie, Lin Wan couldn’t help but break into a smile. At that moment, her heart was clear.
Following yesterday’s ordeal, she realized her deep dependence on him. Is this… love?
During that harrowing scene, all she could think about was him. Her heart had declared her his woman. She would have rather fought to the death with those men than allow anyone other than him to touch her.
As Lin Wan was lost in her thoughts, Xiao Yichen suddenly opened his eyes, catching sight of her expression.
“Are you awake?” Xiao Yichen asked in his gentle tone.
Lin Wan immediately snapped back to reality and gazed seriously at Xiao Yichen. After a brief pause, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
“Mm…” Lin Wan replied softly.
A contented smile played on Xiao Yichen’s lips upon seeing her shy expression.
The two of them remained in silence for a long while. Eventually, Lin Wan gathered her composure and looked up again. She met Xiao Yichen’s gaze and asked, “Aren’t you going to work today?”
It should already be past eight, so why hasn’t he left yet?
“I’m not going today. I’ll stay home with you,” Xiao Yichen replied, his gaze filled with affection as he looked at the young woman.
“Mm,” Lin Wan replied, her lips curving into a smile.
They got up, freshened up, and went downstairs for breakfast.
Throughout the day, they enjoyed a relaxed pace. Xiao Yichen took Lin Wan for a walk in the vicinity and drove her around. By day’s end, he could see that her mood and complexion were back to normal, and the worry in his heart began to dissipate.
Thankfully, yesterday’s incident hadn’t left a lasting mark on her.
However, he couldn’t help but wonder who had subjected Lin Wan to this ordeal. They would never escape his vengeance!
At night, after dinner, while Lin Wan watched television in the living room, Xiao Yichen ascended to his study.
In the study, Xiao Yichen dialed You Luan’s number.
“Mr. Xiao,” You Luan answered the call.
“Any progress?” Xiao Yichen inquired directly..
