Before Xiao Yichen could finish his sentence, Lin Wan hastily interrupted him, stating, “I’m fine. I just watched a drama. The male lead loves the female lead very much. I was touched, so I called you to talk to you.”

Upon hearing her explanation, Xiao Yichen offered a helpless smile on the other end of the phone, realizing the reason behind her call.

“Wan’er, don’t envy anyone, and don’t let anyone’s love move you,” Xiao Yichen pleaded earnestly. Believe in my love for you. You are my treasure.”

“I can do anything you want,” he added.

“Okay…” Lin Wan replied, daring not to say anymore.

“Be good and wait for me at home. I’ll finish my work as soon as possible. If possible, I’ll have lunch with you,” Xiao Yichen promised.

“Okay,” Lin Wan responded.

After ending the call, Lin Wan suddenly squatted on the ground, embracing her head as she cried.

Upon seeing Lin Wan in distress, Lu Hao promptly approached her.

He stood by her side, observing her shoulders tremble, understanding that she was crying. Yet, at this moment, Lu Hao found no words to console her. He could only quietly watch her cry.

With the announcement on the radio signaling the imminent boarding, Lu Hao knew it was time to intervene. He leaned down and said to Lin Wan, “Wanwan, it’s time to board the plane. Let’s go.”

Upon hearing Lu Hao’s voice, Lin Wan controlled her emotions, stood up, and nodded at him.

Before boarding, Lin Wan removed her SIM card and disposed of it in a nearby trash can.

After stepping onto the plane, Lin Wan felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Goodbye, Ancheng City!

Goodbye, Xiao Yichen!

It was nearly 7.00 pm when Xiao Yichen emerged from the hospital after changing his dressing. After driving to the law firm, he called his lawyer to prepare for work. Upon arrival, he delved straight into the main topic.

It was past midnight by the time Xiao Yichen completed his work at the law firm. He immediately headed toward Blue Bay villa.

Upon contemplating whether she had eaten by now, he recalled telling her he might join her for lunch. She should be waiting for me.

As the thought crossed his mind, Xiao Yichen couldn’t resist pulling out his phone to call her.

To his surprise, the call went unanswered. Puzzled, he wondered why the signal at home seemed to be failing.

After a brief consideration, Xiao Yichen decided not to make any more calls. He would drive home first.

He sped back to Blue Bay villa. As he entered the villa. His first observation was that Lin Wan was not in the living room.

At that moment, Auntie Li emerged from the kitchen. Upon seeing Xiao Yichen return, she displayed a hint of surprise. Simultaneously, she greeted him, “Mr. Xiao, you’re back.”

“Where is Wan’er?” Xiao Yichen questioned directly.

Auntie Li hesitated, taken aback by the unexpected inquiry. She assumed that Madam was with him, but Xiao Yichen seemed oblivious to Lin Wan’s whereabouts.

“Madam isn’t at home,” Auntie Li replied.

“Not at home?” Xiao Yichen frowned. She had informed him that she was watching television at home. How could she not be here?

“Yes, Madam wasn’t around when I came to the house to cook at 10.00 pm,” Auntie Li explained. She couldn’t fathom the current situation after witnessing Xiao Yichen’s changing expression.

Xiao Yichen’s face darkened, and he began to search for Lin Wan..
