“Let’s eat,” Xiao Yichen stated calmly. “I’ll send you back after you finish.”
“Okay.” Bai Lu nodded, refraining from saying a word, and ate obediently.
After the meal, Xiao Yichen personally drove Bai Lu to Sheng Yi’s building. Unintentionally, he noticed the paparazzi nearby. Xiao Yichen abruptly seized Bai Lu, who was about to exit the car.
Perplexed, Bai Lu turned around to look at Xiao Yichen, wondering what was happening.
Upon leaning closer, Xiao Yichen whispered into Bai Lu’s ear, “I’ll bring you to the banquet on Saturday night.”
At that moment, due to a misalignment, the paparazzi could only witness the two sharing a kiss from their viewpoint.
The sound of camera shutters clicking echoed.
Xiao Yichen may not have heard it, but he could surmise. He intentionally lingered for a moment before parting from Bai Lu.
“Yes, I’ll be waiting for you at the apartment on Saturday. I’ll be ready for you to pick me up,” Bai Lu responded with a smile, her spirits lifted.
“Okay…” Xiao Yichen replied. To cooperate with the nearby paparazzi, he allowed a faint smile to grace his lips.
Xiao Yichen watched Bai Lu exit the car until she entered the company. Then, he started the car and drove away.
A somber expression lingered on Xiao Yichen’s face as he headed toward the East Mansion.
D*mn it, that woman’s face plagued his thoughts once more.
For five years, her figure and visage had occupied his mind nearly constantly.
Yet now, he recalled every detail, not because he missed her.
Rather, he hated her.
At the East Mansion, You Luan noticed Xiao Yichen’s return. He hastily grabbed an essential document and followed Xiao Yichen into his office.
Once Xiao Yichen settled at his desk, You Luan began reporting, “Mr. Xiao, here’s the latest news from the jewelry industry. A French company, Elite Jewelry, plans to establish a presence in Ancheng City.”
“Elite Jewelry?” Xiao Yichen repeated. He accepted the information from You Luan and skimmed through it.
While Xiao Yichen perused the data, You Luan continued the briefing. “Yes, Elite Jewelry, founded by a Frenchman five years ago, has established itself globally in numerous top-tier economic cities. Recently, it’s been confirmed that Elite Jewelry has initiated the application process for relevant permits.”
“Okay…” Xiao Yichen replied and offered no further remarks.
You Luan, dared not pose additional queries. He knew that Xiao Yichen would already have his thoughts and plans once he learned of this.
Five years ago, after Lin Wan left, Xiao Yichen ordered the disbandment of Dream Phil company. Following that, all jewelry companies in Ancheng City and the surrounding Lin City came under Eastern Empire. Now, the jewelry industry in Ancient City was entirely under Eastern Empire’s control.
Ancheng City, being the capital of Country D. Naturally, the entire nation’s jewelry industry rested in the hands of Xiao Yichen.
After You Luan exited, Xiao Yichen didn’t scrutinize the details of Elite Jewelry company. He cast it aside to deal with other matters.
In the morning in France, in a French villa, Lin Wan stirred from her slumber as the alarm resonated. Squinting, she glanced at the alarm clock nearby, then reached out to silence it.
“Lin Wan, I don’t want to get up!” A little boy snuggled in Lin Wan’s arms declared drowsily.
“No, Ranran. You’re a good boy. You can’t stay in bed. It’s time for kindergarten today.” Lin Wan addressed her son and slowly rose from the bed.
“Okay, then I’ll be a good boy.” Lin Xiaoran’s eyes softened as he sat up.
“Ranran, be good. Sit down and don’t move. I will get you a glass of water first,” Lin Wan instructed as she hurriedly got off the bed to fetch water for her son..
