“I’ll stay in Blue Bay villa for now. We’ll see what happens after that,” Lin Wan stated calmly. Her words were devoid of excitement or emotion, as if she had already decided about something. She continued, “If he wants a divorce, I’ll leave once we’ve cut ties.”
Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Qiao Yujuan felt deep sadness for her. She couldn’t express many things, but after some contemplation, she simply said, “Wanwan, no matter what, here is your forever home.”
“Yes, Mom, 1 know,” Lin Wan replied, her eyes slightly red.
She had experienced disappointment and sadness in both family love and romantic love. Nevertheless, she always had a place to call home in her heart: her mother’s home.
After their conversation, Lin Wan chatted with her mother for a while before ending the call.
In the morning, Lin Wan was busy with work and didn’t even have time to grab a glass of water.
On the other side, in the East Mansion, it was already 11.00 pm when Xiao Yichen finished his work. He picked up his phone, initially intending to call Luo Ziyan, but upon second thought, he dialed Lu Hao’s number.
“Yichen.” Lu Hao answered the call.
“Yes, have you arrived at the restaurant?” Xiao Yichen inquired.
“I’m on the way,” Lu Hao replied calmly and concisely. “Yichen, I apologize for not personally inviting you and Zishen to lunch.”
“I understand.” There was no need for many words between brothers. Xiao Yichen added, “I’ll set off now. See you in 40 minutes.”
“Okay.”
After ending the call, Xiao Yichen left his office and dialed Lin Wan’s number.
The phone rang for a while before she finally picked up.
“Wan’er,” Xiao Yichen impatiently called out the moment she answered.
“What’s the matter?” Lin Wan’s tone was slightly chilly.
“Nothing,” Xiao Yichen replied. Upon hearing her voice, he felt extremely content. He continued, “Are you very busy today?”
“Yes, I’m preparing to submit the design draft,” Lin Wan replied.
“Good,” Xiao Yichen responded. “Don’t forget to have lunch on time.”
After having parted from her that morning, he already missed her intensely. Hearing her voice allowed him to suppress the yearning within his heart.
“Understood,” Lin Wan replied. After a few moments of silence, she added, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”
“Okay.”
Xiao Yichen was elated, but there were countless things he wished to express. Regrettably, he couldn’t do so over the phone. He agreed and waited for Lin Wan to end the call before doing so himself.
In the elevator, he couldn’t help but smile and think.
“Wan’er, I truly love you from the bottom of my heart!”
In a luxurious private room at a high-end restaurant, Lu Hao, dressed in a smart suit, sat on the sofa and waited.
Even while seated, his crossed long legs conveyed his tall stature. His exquisitely chiseled face and the unique aura he emitted gave him an air of nobility.
Luo Zishen and Luo Ziyan arrived together, and after a warm reunion, they hugged each other and sat down to chat.
Due to traffic congestion, it was already 11.55 pm when Xiao Yichen arrived at the private room.
Upon entering, he exchanged greetings with Lu Hao.
“Yichen.”
“Lu Hao…”
The two friends exchanged a brotherly hug, marking their first meeting in a long time.
Following a brief conversation among the four, they began their meal at the dining table.
As they ate, they were all in good spirits.
“Lu Hao, how long will you be staying this time?” Luo Ziyan asked. Given the nature of Lu Hao’s work, which required frequent travel and irregular work hours, he rarely stayed in Ancheng City. Hence, he asked the question..
