Lin Wan was unsure of what was happening. She became terrified and remained still, unable to move after Xiao Yichen yelled at her.
Xiao Yichen widened his eyes and observed the wound on Lin Wan’s neck in disbelief. He couldn’t comprehend what had occurred.
What has happened to her?
Puzzled, Xiao Yichen tentatively reached out and touched Lin Wan’s neck wound.
Lin Wan, who didn’t comprehend Xiao Yichen’s expression, felt pain and couldn’t help but exclaim, “It hurts…”
Upon seeing Lin Wan frowning, Xiao Yichen quickly retracted his hand. He didn’t dare touch her again, but he frowned.
“What happened?” Xiao Yichen asked Lin Wan, his voice filled with obvious concern.
Only then did Lin Wan realize that Xiao Yichen had discovered her injury.
“I’m fine. It’s just a minor injury,” Lin Wan murmured. She had no desire to revisit that unbearable incident, let alone speak of Xu Yanxi. Her heart was exhausted.
After deep breathing, Lin Wan continued, “I’ll go upstairs.”
Lin Wan turned around to depart.
However, Xiao Yichen acted swiftly as she did. Just as she stepped away, he took a large stride forward, encircling her with a long arm and pulling her tightly into his embrace from behind. He bent down, resting his head on her shoulder.
“Wan’er, let’s go home, okay?” Xiao Yichen’s voice was gentle and tender, a unique gentleness reserved for her.
He didn’t know what had happened to her. She wasn’t willing to discuss it now, and he couldn’t force her. Nevertheless, he couldn’t bear for her to leave him. He wanted to take her home and be by her side.
Upon hearing Xiao Yichen’s tone, Lin Wan’s heart began to race, but her resolve remained unshaken.
“I don’t want to return home tonight,” Lin Wan replied, recognizing Xiao Yichen’s domineering personality. She couldn’t confront him and implored, “Can you let me stay here for the night?”
Xiao Yichen couldn’t refuse her request, though he was deeply unwilling.
Lin Wan awaited his response, but when none came, she realized this was not a solution. She struggled and said, “I’m cold. 1’11 head inside.”
With a concerted effort, Lin Wan managed to break free.
This time, she escaped without turning back.
Xiao Yichen remained rooted in place, watching Lin Wan enter the apartment. His heart ached profoundly.
You Luan stood not far away, watching as his boss had been standing like this for more than ten minutes.
You Luan couldn’t help himself and stood beside Xiao Yichen, respectfully asking, “Mr. Xiao, should we go back first?”
He added, “I will have someone here to guard Madam. She will be completely safe.”
“No need,” Xiao Yichen’s icy voice uttered two words, followed by, “All of you, leave.”
You Luan did not understand why Xiao Yichen acted this way, but he comprehended his intentions. He couldn’t defy him, so he ordered his comrades to retreat.
Xiao Yichen stood in the cold breeze, gazing at the apartment. He remained there for a lengthy period before returning to the car.
Inside Su Xiaorong’s apartment, Lin Wan lay on the bed, unable to sleep. Her thoughts were only based on Xiao Yichen and Xu Yanxi’s comments that afternoon.
“Wanwan, are you asleep?” Su Xiaorong wasn’t sleeping either. She knew Wanwan’s mood had deteriorated after she met Xiao Yichen, so she probably wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight..
