“I’ll leave sooner or later. If I leave now, you can redecorate the wedding room and marry…” Xiao Yichen suddenly shouted at Lin Wan before she could finish her sentence.
“Lin Wan…” Xiao Yichen was genuinely furious this time. He no longer had the patience to control his emotions and glared at Lin Wan.
Redecorate the wedding room? Get married?
After registering their marriage, he hadn’t held a wedding ceremony or redecorated their new home. Did they need to decorate it now?
Marry? Marry whom? He wouldn’t marry anyone else except her!
Upon seeing Xiao Yichen’s anger, Lin Wan felt a bit intimidated. She gazed at Xiao Yichen timidly.
After witnessing her fear, Xiao Yichen regretted being so harsh just now.
He managed to control his temper and said, “The news today is false. Trust me.”
“Last night, I attended Yanxi’s party. 1 exchanged brief words with her parents, and we were photographed together because of the noisy surroundings. But 1 didn’t do anything intimate with her, nor do I love her. 1 promise,” Xiao Yichen explained.
Upon hearing Xiao Yichen’s explanation, Lin Wan’s heart wavered slightly, although she maintained a cold demeanor.
“Let go of me first,” Lin Wan calmly stated, her gaze fixed on Xiao Yichen’s eyes.
Xiao Yichen obediently let go of Lin Wan.
Lin Wan had no intention of arguing with Xiao Yichen. She still felt uneasy about his previous display of anger.
“I want to spend a few days at my mother’s place,” Lin Wan said, seeking Xiao Yichen’s approval.
Xiao Yichen was at a loss for words.
How could he prevent Wan’er from spending time with his mother-in-law?
Furthermore, would it upset her to stop the mother and daughter from meeting?
“I just want some peace for a few days,” Lin Wan added when she didn’t hear a response from Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen’s heart softened, and he nodded. “Alright, I’ll pick you up in two days.”
Upon hearing Xiao Yichen’s agreement, Lin Wan responded, “No need.”
With that, Lin Wan got back into her car. This time, Xiao Yichen didn’t stop her. Lin Wan started the car and drove out of Blue Bay villa.
Qiao Yujuan was at school when she received a call from her daughter about staying with her for a few days. She gladly consented.
“Wanwan, you have the keys to the house. Go home and make lunch for yourself. I’ll prepare something for you after my classes in the afternoon.” Qiao Yujuan deeply cared for her daughter.
“Yes, Mom. I know,” Lin Wan replied. She was in a gloomy state and didn’t feel like talking much. She feared that discussing it further would make her think about Xiao Yichen and Xu Yanxi, causing her to cry.
“Alright, I’ll see you at home.”
Qiao Yujuan hung up the phone after exchanging a few words with her daughter. Upon returning to her office, she overheard a few teachers discussing the gossip surrounding the president of the Eastern Empire in Ancheng City. Qiao Yujuan approached for more information and instantly understood why her daughter wanted to stay with her for a few days.
Lin Wan arrived at her mother’s place and went directly to her small bedroom. She lay on the bed, wrapped herself in a blanket, and wept quietly.
She truly wished to believe Xiao Yichen’s words and have faith that he had no involvement with Xu Yanxi, but she couldn’t.
He and Xu Yanxi had grown up together. It was impossible for them not to have feelings for each other. Moreover, the recent news was too closely tied to them. She couldn’t just ignore it!
Lin Wan felt exhausted and eventually drifted off to sleep.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Lin Wan faintly heard someone calling her.
“Wanwan, Wanwan…”
