Lin Wan lowered her head and remained silent.
Upon seeing her silence, Xiao Yichen quickly examined her for injuries. Once he was sure she wasn’t harmed, he glared at Xu Yanxi.
“What’s wrong with you? Have you had enough of life?” Xiao Yichen shouted at Xu Yanxi, his anger even more intense than the previous night at Qinling Villa. Upon facing Xiao Yichen’s furious expression, Xu Yanxi was a little fearful, but her stubbornness and pride wouldn’t allow her to back down.
“Yes, I’ve had enough. Go ahead, kill me!” Xu Yanxi retorted loudly, her gaze challenging Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen understood her heightened emotions and frustrations, but it pained him to see her like this. She was being as forceful as ever.
As Xiao Yichen remained silent, Xu Yanxi realized that he wouldn’t act against her.
She took advantage of this moment to glare at Lin Wan with intense hatred. The urge to rush over and attack her swelled inside her.
Suddenly, her eyes fell upon a fruit knife on the coffee table. Her mind quickly processed the situation, and she reached for the knife. With a twisted face, she advanced toward Lin Wan and shouted, “Lin Wan, I’Ll end you today.’1
Startled by Xu Yanxi’s sudden movement, Lin Wan widened her eyes in fear.
Xiao Yichen was equally taken aback. He wanted to reach for the knife but was afraid of hurting Xu Yanxi in the process. At the same time, he couldn’t bear to see Lin Wan getting hurt.
As Xu Yanxi raised the knife and prepared to strike Lin Wan, Xiao Yichen swiftly turned around, shielding her with his own body.
The knife struck his back, and Lin Wan could feel his body tremble violently.
Xiao Yichen gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and held Lin Wan protectively, refusing to let go even for a second.
Upon seeing the blood oozing from Xiao Yichen’s back, Xu Yanxi was shocked. She took a few steps back, her voice trembling as she softly called, “Chen…”
Lin Wan, who had come to her senses, attempted to break free from Xiao Yichen’s embrace, but he held her tightly, unwilling to let her go.
“Chen, you..?1 Lin Wan finally noticed the blood on Xiao Yichen’s back.
The knife was aimed at her, and she had felt him tremble when it struck. He had shielded her.
Upon hearing Lin Wan’s voice, Xiao Yichen released his grip.
After Lin Wan poked her head out, she immediately gazed at Xiao Yichen’s face and noticed that his expression had changed from what it was just a moment ago.
“You…” Lin Wan suddenly felt like her whole being was on the verge of collapsing. The words she wanted to say seemed impossible to utter at this moment.
“Are you hurt?” Xiao Yichen asked her, then looked at her body.
Lin Wan immediately shook her head and stammered, “No, I’m not, but you…”
“I’m fine.’’ Xiao Yichen looked into the little lady’s eyes and tried to squeeze out a smile for her.
As long as she is fine!
Upon knowing that Xiao Yichen was lying, Lin Wan burst into tears. She looked at Xiao Yichen and didn’t say a word, just kept crying.
Xiao Yichen reached out to wipe her tears and gently said, “Be good, don’t cry, okay?”
