Upon hearing Lin Wan’s words, Luo Ziyan immediately felt more at ease. A faint smile crept across his lips as he responded, “Yes, Lu Hao is Yichen’s and my best friend, as well as Big Brother’s. Since junior high, we’ve known Lu Hao and our friendship has endured all these years.”

Lin Wan nodded, signifying her understanding.

They continued to chat for a while, and when Luo Ziyan sensed Lin Wan’s mood had improved, he suggested, “It’s getting late. Let me take you back.”

Lin Wan considered it and agreed. It was indeed quite late. Even though she didn’t want to return to Blue Bay villa and had no desire to see Xiao Yichen, she had no other place to go.

“Sure,” Lin Wan replied, getting into the car with Luo Ziyan.

In Blue Bay villa, Xiao Yichen sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression, anxiously waiting. His emotions were in turmoil.

Lin Wan hadn’t returned. When he had called Ziyan earlier, he couldn’t reach him, and he had no idea where they were.

Where is Wan’er?

When a noise reached Xiao Yichen’s ears, he instinctively glanced at the window. Then, he immediately stood up and headed toward the door.

He could hear the sound of a car outside. It must be Wan’er.

Xiao Yichen spotted Lin Wan disembarking from Luo Ziyan’s car as he exited the villa. He quickly picked up his pace, making his way toward Lin Wan.

Lin Wan saw Xiao Yichen approaching but paid him no attention. Instead, she looked at Luo Ziyan and said, “Thank you for returning me.”

“You’re welcome. Get some rest tonight,” Luo Ziyan replied.

“Mm…” Lin Wan nodded.

At that moment, Xiao Yichen had already reached Lin Wan’s side. He extended his arm and pulled Lin Wan into his embrace. He questioned her in a cold tone, “Where did you go?”

Lin Wan didn’t struggle in Xiao Yichen’s arms, but she didn’t answer him either.

She addressed Luo Ziyan, saying earnestly, “Ziyan, you’re my friend, a friend who knows me well.”

Lin Wan’s words in front of Yichen surprised Luo Ziyan.

But upon reflection, she had revealed many of her innermost feelings to him that night. He now understood her better, and she had become a cherished friend to him.

“Indeed, you’re a friend I hold dear,” Luo Ziyan responded with conviction.

He wanted to cherish this friendship based on Lin Wan’s innocence and kindness.

After Luo Ziyan departed, Lin Wan broke from Xiao Yichen’s embrace and returned to the villa. However, Xiao Yichen pulled her back.

“Tell me, where did you go?” Xiao Yichen inquired, the lingering anger still apparent in his eyes.

Does she have any idea how worried 1 have been? I’ve nearly gone mad from concern.

Lin Wan struggled twice but couldn’t break free. She ceased her resistance and met Xiao Yichen’s enraged gaze, replying, “Where I went is none of your business.”

“Lin Wan. I have the right to know,” Xiao Yichen said as he gritted his teeth.

She was his legal wife. Didn’t he have the right to do so?

“Heh.” Lin Wan gazed at Xiao Yichen, a sardonic smile on her lips. “Rights? The rights of a husband? Xiao Yichen, before you exercise these rights, ask yourself whether you’ve fulfilled your responsibilities as a husband.”

How could a married man exercise his husband’s rights when he was engaged in an ambiguous relationship with another woman?

Xiao Yichen frowned, understanding why Lin Wan was angry. He stated emphatically, “Lin Wan, I haven’t cheated on you..”
