He had already missed the chance to see his sister-in-law last time and was determined not to miss it this time.

“Okay.” Xiao Yichen nodded, feeling much more at ease as he thought about his beloved.

At Dream Phil Company, the Design Department was in a meeting. Everyone was reporting the total number of orders and designs this quarter.

After Lin Wan finished her report, the director gave a summary. Then, he spoke to everyone in the Design Department, “The final results of the SU Collection design competition are about to be released. Additionally, the allocation for overseas study opportunities will soon be announced. My initial thought is that if Lin Wan secures first place in the SU competition, she will be given an overseas study opportunity. You can all see her outstanding performance.”

After the director’s words, he glanced around the room at all the employees.

Most of the employees nodded, indicating their agreement with Lin Wan receiving the opportunity. Lin Wan’s design skills were superior to theirs, making her one of the best in the Design Department.

A few individuals appeared dissatisfied, but they chose to remain silent as they were in a meeting.

After the meeting ended, it was time to leave for the day. Lin Wan tidied up her desk before heading home with her bag.

Back at Blue Bay villa, Xiao Yichen had not returned yet. Lin Wan changed into her comfortable clothes and went downstairs to the living room, where she sat and watched TV while awaiting Xiao Yichen’s arrival.

When it was close to 7.00 pm, Lin Wan heard a sound at the door. She turned around and saw Xiao Yichen entering.

Xiao Yichen also spotted Lin Wan and walked directly to the living room, sitting beside her.

“When did you get back?” Xiao Yichen inquired. His arm reached out to hold Lin Wan.

“An hour ago,” Lin Wan replied. Her voice remained calm, concealing her true emotions.

Xiao Yichen wanted to engage in a conversation, but Lin Wan spoke before he could say anything.

“Auntie Li has already prepared dinner. Let’s eat!” Lin Wan stood up and walked toward the dining room, paying no attention to Xiao Yichen following her.

Xiao Yichen’s arms remained empty, and he also felt a sense of emptiness within himself. His heart turned cold.

Though he frowned slightly, his expression didn’t change much. He stood up and joined Lin Wan in the dining room.

Throughout the meal, Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan sat opposite each other. Lin Wan remained silent, and Xiao Yichen attempted to speak several times but didn’t know what to say.

In the end, Xiao Yichen gathered the courage to speak, “Wan’er, 1’11 take you to meet some friends in three days. I have another friend. Ziyan and Brother Zishen will also be there.”

After hearing Xiao Yichen’s words, Lin Wan waited momentarily before responding, “Understood.”

With that, Lin Wan resumed eating. Her expression was detached, and her eyes remained clear, concealing her thoughts.

In the awkward atmosphere, Xiao Yichen struggled to find the right words. He gazed at Lin Wan briefly before lowering his head to focus on his meal.

After dinner, Lin Wan went upstairs to shower and prepare for bed.

Xiao Yichen was busy with his studies. It was already past 10.00 pm when he eventually returned to the bedroom.

After showering and lying on the bed, Xiao Yichen pulled Lin Wan into his arms and leaned down to kiss her.

“Ugh…” Lin Wan was roused by Xiao Yichen’s advances and resisted strongly.

Nevertheless, Xiao Yichen ignored Lin Wan’s resistance and savoured her sweet lips..
