Luo Ziyan was perplexed. Shouldn’t Auntie Li be at the villa at this time?
However, despite no response at the door, Luo Ziyan knocked.
Eventually, the door opened. Luo Ziyan saw Xiao Yichen’s figure and detected the sharp scent of alcohol.
“Have you been drinking?” Luo Ziyan inquired with a frown. Upon observing him more closely now, Xiao Yichen appeared utterly dejected. Stubble adorned his chin, and he seemed lost in a daze.
It had been a long time since she had seen him like this.
“Why are you here?” Xiao Yichen asked.
Upon hearing Xiao Yichen’s feeble voice, Luo Ziyan responded, “I’m concerned, so I came to see you.”
“Hehe…” Xiao Yichen chuckled. “Don’t worry, I won’t die.”
With that, Xiao Yichen turned around and walked inside.
Luo Ziyan followed, trailing behind Xiao Yichen.
When he noticed the scattered bottles in the living room, Luo Ziyan’s eyes widened, and he said to Xiao Yichen, “Xiao Yichen, do you want to drink yourself to death?”
“Will I die?” Xiao Yichen asked Luo Ziyan, and more importantly, he asked himself.
She is no longer around, so what does it matter if I live or die?
Luo Ziyan didn’t know what to answer. He saw Xiao Yichen sitting down on the sofa and walked over to sit beside him.
Upon understanding that he was in a bad mood, Luo Ziyan thought momentarily before saying, “Yichen, since Lin Wan has left, you… Think about your life from now on.”
Lin Wan and Lu Hao had departed. This was a massive blow to Yichen and humiliation. He must be in a very bad mood.
However, as his best friend, he hoped he would not be immersed in sorrow and would get over it as soon as possible.
“I don’t have the rest of my life,” Xiao Yichen told Luo Ziyan. He turned to look at Luo Ziyan and continued, “If you’re here today to persuade me or say something unimportant, then you can leave. In the future, you don’t have to come again.”
After saying that, he turned around and didn’t even look at Luo Ziyan.
Luo Ziyan looked at Xiao Yichen and didn’t know what to say.
The two of them stayed like this. After a long time, Luo Ziyan only instructed Xiao Yichen not to drink, to smoke less, and to eat on time. After that, he left Blue Bay villa without saying anything else.
After Luo Ziyan left, Xiao Yichen leaned against the sofa and looked at the snow-white ceiling. He vaguely seemed to see Lin Wan.
“Wan’er, you’re back,” Xiao Yichen murmured with a smile.
“Wan’er, I miss you.”
“Wan’er, come here. Let me hug you!”
Three days later, the stock market had just opened in the morning at the Luo Group. Luo Zishen was sitting in his office reviewing documents. Before he had the time to care about the stock market, his assistant knocked on the door and walked in. He hurriedly reported.
“Mr. Luo, look at the stock market. Eastern Empire’s shares have been falling.”
Upon hearing the assistant’s words, Luo Zishen immediately turned on his computer and checked the stock market.
After browsing through the changes in the stock market, Luo Zishen quickly took his phone and dialed Xiao Yichen’s number.
However, after calling several times, no one picked up.
Luo Zishen was a little anxious and called Xiao Yichen’s office.
Someone answered the call, but it wasn’t Xiao Yichen. It was You Luan.
“Mr. Luo, Mr. Xiao hasn’t come to the company recently,” You Luan answered truthfully. Since Madam left, Mr. Xiao had yet to enter the Eastern Empire. He had been going to Blue Bay villa every day for two days. But no matter how hard he knocked, no one opened the door..
