Chapter 252: Afraid of Losing Her

Lin Wan immediately stopped eating. Sitting on Xiao Yichen’s lap, it was inconvenient for her to continue her meal, and now she had to wait quietly until he finished the phone call.

Xiao Yichen glanced at Lin Wan, retrieved his phone, and checked the screen display.

Lin Wan looked over and clearly saw the name displayed on the screen.

Lin Wan’s emotions changed when she saw the caller ID, Yanxi.

Xiao Yichen, aware that Lin Wan had seen the screen, answered the call candidly without concealing anything. He put the phone to his ear and spoke briefly without raising his voice. “Speak.”

“Chen, where are you? Can you come out for dinner with me? I want to have the Western food we had last time,” Xu Yanxi’s coy voice came through the phone.

“I’m not available,” Xiao Yichen responded before hanging up.

Lin Wan could hear every word Xu Yanxi said because she was close to Xiao Yichen.

Unfazed and unafraid as she used to be, she let out a deep breath and suddenly placed her chopsticks down. Instructing Xiao Yichen, she said, “Let go of me.”

With that, Lin Wan got up and made preparations to leave.

However, Xiao Yichen’s grip did not loosen, and she could not free herself from his single hand.

Concerned about Xu Yanxi’s recent call, Lin Wan disregarded everything else as she began to resist, endeavoring to break away from his side.

How many times have they enjoyed Western meals together? Xu Yanxi is now requesting to dine at that particular Western restaurant.

Contemplating it, the experience was akin to a romantic candlelit dinner. Never had she partaken in such an occasion with Xiao Yichen.

The stark difference between love and indifference was clear!

Upon witnessing Lin Wan’s struggles, Xiao Yichen was adamant about not letting go.

He was not in a good mood as well.

His grasp remained firm, fearing that she might gravitate toward Lu Hao if he released her.

As Lin Wan persevered in her efforts to break free, it became increasingly apparent that she would not succeed. Her frustration mounted, and tears welled up in her eyes, trickling down her cheeks.

“Xiao Yichen, release me, let go of me!” Lin Wan shed all inhibitions, crying out and imploring him to relinquish his grip.

She yearned to escape from his embrace. He was not the same man she once knew, as Xu Yanxi’s presence surely encumbered him. She desired none of it!

Upon observing Lin Wan’s tears, Luo Zishen and Luo Ziyan were deeply distressed but did not dare to intervene. They were all too familiar with Xiao Yichen’s temperament. In the current state of affairs, he was seething with anger, and any wrong move on their part could jeopardize Lin Wan’s well-being.

Lu Hao, who had maintained his silence until then, sprang into action upon hearing Lin Wan’s tears. He approached Xiao Yichen swiftly and extended his arm to grasp Xiao Yichen’s hand. Exerting enough force, he skillfully subdued Xiao Yichen’s grip, allowing Lin Wan to break free.

Simultaneously, Xiao Yichen rose to his feet and instinctively stretched out his other arm to seize Lin Wan.

He had to prevent her departure and preclude her from leaving him. He was absolutely terrified of losing her.

However, Lu Hao appeared to have anticipated Xiao Yichen’s response. He adjusted his position and obstructed Xiao Yichen’s hand, ensuring Lin Wan’s escape.

Lin Wan fled and stood at a distance from Xiao Yichen. Her body trembled incessantly, and her tear-stained face was a testament to her emotional turmoil.

Xiao Yichen yearned to pursue Lin Wan, but Lu Hao stopped her. He was left with no opportunity to advance further.

“Step aside!” Xiao Yichen shouted at Lu Hao..
