Does he claim he can’t make it home for dinner just to accompany this woman for shopping?
As Lin Wan contemplated this, Xiao Yichen was already approaching her.
When Shen Yun witnessed this scene, she had a suspicion in mind, but she also felt somewhat anxious. After all, a prominent figure like Xiao Yichen was walking over, and she needed to be prepared for whatever might come.
Xiao Yichen stood before Lin Wan and gazed at her delicate face. He inquired, “Are you here for some shopping?”
Lin Wan suppressed her emotions and smiled, saying, “No, I’m here to have dinner with Yunyun.”
After her response, Lin Wan looked closer at the woman beside Xiao Yichen.
In sheer disbelief, Lin Wan’s eyes widened as she took a look.
Her face bears a striking resemblance to Xue J laying, and…
After a moment’s recollection, Lin Wan remembered the photograph she’d seen at the mansion. The girl in the picture was her.
“Are you… Sister Ruiling?” Lin Wan ventured to ask based on her deductions.
When she saw the photograph, she thought the woman was Sister Ruiling. Now that she was witnessing it first-hand, she was even more astonished.
“Sister Ruiling? No, I’m not!” Xu Yanxi replied in bewilderment. She was unaware of who Lin Wan was, yet she clarified, “Sister Ruiling is still overseas and hasn’t returned. My name is Xu Yanxi.”
Lin Wan stood there, feeling stunned and bewildered.
What is happening? Xu Yanxi? Who is Xu Yanxi?
The girl in the photo was hand in hand with Yichen and appeared close to him. Is it not Sister Ruiling, but rather this girl named Xu Yanxi?
Xiao Yichen couldn’t fathom why Wan’er brought up Sister Ruiling, but he was apprehensive that revealing the truth to Yanxi could agitate her. At that point, he couldn’t predict her actions.
“Head home after dinner,” Xiao Yichen told Lin Wan. He wanted to say so much but could not with Yanxi present.
Then, he turned to Xu Yanxi and said, “Let’s go.”
“Sure…” Xu Yanxi was so engrossed in Xiao Yichen that she barely noticed her surroundings. She clung to Xiao Yichen’s arm, and the two of them left.
Lin Wan remained rooted to the spot in a daze. She didn’t dare look back, but sorrow welled up inside her.
He leaves. He leaves warmly with that woman in front of me.
That woman isn’t Sister Ruiling, but Xu Yanxi, so their relationship…
“This…” Shen Yun felt very indignant for Wanwan.
She and Wanwan believed that Xiao Yichen wasn’t a womanizer, but seeing it first-hand proved their previous understanding was incorrect.
“Yunyun,” Lin Wan called out, her voice now subdued. “1 want to go home.”
“All right, let’s head back.” Shen Yun understood that Lin Wan’s mood had shifted, so she abandoned having dinner and left with her.
Xiao Yichen and Xu Yanxi sat across from each other in another restaurant. While Xu Yanxi enjoyed her meal, Xiao Yichen left his chopsticks untouched, his expression troubled.
“Chen, what’s the matter? Is the food not to your liking in this restaurant?” Xu Yanxi asked Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen snapped out of his daze. “No, you go ahead and eat. I’m not very hungry.”
“No, let’s eat together. Try this. It’s delicious,” Xu Yanxi insisted, using her chopsticks to serve food on Xiao Yichen’s plate.
Upon seeing Xu Yanxi’s initiative, Xiao Yichen reluctantly picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites.
Suddenly, Xu Yanxi inquired, “Chen, who were those two people we saw just now? Are they employees of the Eastern Empire?”
