Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Hao knew that Xiao Yichen was furious, but he didn’t hesitate to go against him to protect Lin Wan. “Wanwan said to let go of her.”

Xiao Yichen locked eyes with Lu Hao. His anger and impulse surged, but a shred of rationality remained to remind him of their brotherhood.

As Lin Wan witnessed Xiao Yichen and Lu Hao confront each other and the terrifying expression on Xiao Yichen’s face, fear overwhelmed her, and she couldn’t bear to look at him any longer.

“I-I-I’ll leave first,” Lin Wan stammered, rushing toward the door.

Luo Ziyan saw Lin Wan running away and realized transportation challenges in the suburban area. There were few taxis and private cars available.

“Lin Wan, wait!” Luo Ziyan shouted, hurrying after her.

In the hall, only three people remained. Luo Zishen positioned himself between Xiao Yichen and Lu Hao, fearing they might come to blows. He reached out to separate them, urging, “Calm down and release each other.”

But he didn’t pull them apart.

Luo Zishen looked at Xiao Yichen and said, “Yichen, we’re all brothers.”

Xiao Yichen, gradually regaining his composure, finally let go.

In response, Lu Hao also released his grip.

Despite the unexpected revelation’s shock, neither of them was angry with the other. They both fought to protect Lin Wan.

Xiao Yichen remained concerned about Lin Wan and couldn’t trust her safety to anyone else.

She had already taken root in his heart. Without her, he felt he couldn’t breathe.

“Lu Hao, Lin Wan is my woman, my legal wife,” Xiao Yichen, still upset, declared as he locked eyes with his brother.

Xiao Yichen finished speaking and, without looking back, walked briskly around Luo Zishen and left.

Lu Hao remained in place, fully aware that Xiao Yichen’s words had been a warning.

His heart ached. How can the girl he loves so profoundly be his brother’s wife? How can this be?

As Xiao Yichen drove away from Qinling villa, he called Luo Ziyan.

After a considerable pause, Luo Ziyan finally answered the call.

Xiao Yichen didn’t wait for Luo Ziyan to speak; he asked directly, “Where is she?”

“She’s in my car. I’ll send her back now,” Luo Ziyan replied.

Xiao Yichen mulled over the response but didn’t say anything.

Upon understanding Xiao Yichen’s emotions, Luo Ziyan continued, “Don’t worry. She’ll be okay.”

Without responding, Xiao Yichen hung up.

He felt a mix of relief and anxiety. In this situation, all he could do was return home and wait.

In Luo Ziyan’s car, Lin Wan had gazed out the window for a while before she suddenly said to Luo Ziyan, “Ziyan, I don’t want to go back now. Can you take me to the beach?”

Luo Ziyan hesitated but saw Lin Wan was deeply agitated and in a bad mood. He didn’t want to provoke her further or have her leave his car unexpectedly. “Sure,” Luo Ziyan agreed.

Once they arrived at the beach, Lin Wan stood by the fence, listening to the sound of the waves and feeling the sea breeze.

The cold sea breeze washed over her, but she couldn’t feel the chill.

Her heart was colder than the wind.

Luo Ziyan stayed beside the car, watching Lin Wan not far away. Her trembling body and aching heart were visible even from a distance.

Then, Lin Wan began to cry softly. Her sobs filled the air as she stared ahead, her eyes brimming with tears. Her heart ached, and she felt utterly drained..
