Lin Wan tidied up her clothes in the bathroom and washed up briefly. She tied her hair into a ponytail before opening the door to come out.
But just as she walked out of the bathroom, she saw Xiao Yichen standing at the door. Lin Wan immediately stopped in her tracks.
Xiao Yichen glanced at Lin Wan, then squatted down and prepared to help her put on her shoes.
When he realized that her feet were about to retreat, Xiao Yichen grabbed her ankle and said, âDonât move.â
Under Xiao Yichenâs cold order, Lin Wan dared not move and could only let him put on her shoes obediently.
After putting on his shoes, Xiao Yichen stood up and looked down at the little woman. His tone was much gentler. âDonât run around barefoot in the future. The ground is cold.â
Although the villa had wooden floors and carpets in some places, it was still cold.
Lin Wan did not speak. She looked to the side and did not look at Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen knew that Lin Wan was still angry. He suddenly bent down and leaned close to her. He pressed his face against her cheek and whispered intimately into her ear, âWanâer, I was too impulsive just now. 1 apologize.â âA best friend just came back. I chatted with Ziyan and Brother Zishen in the afternoon and drank some wine,â Xiao Yichen explained. â1 missed you too much, so when I returned and saw you at home, Iâ¦â
Other than her, he had never explained it to anyone else.
She was the only exception in his life. She was also the only person he wanted to cherish and protect!
Lin Wan listened to Xiao Yichenâs explanation. Now that she knew the real reason why he drank, she didnât feel as angry as before.
But how he treated her just now⦠and Auntie Li saw it. It was so embarrassing!
âGo wash up and have dinner,â Lin Wan hurriedly said. Then, she pushed Xiao Yichen away and walked quickly to the dining room.
Looking at Lin Wanâs back, Xiao Yichen felt more relaxed. At least he had explained it to her.
After hearing her words, Xiao Yichen went to the bathroom to wash up before eating in the dining room.
During the meal, Lin Wan did not speak. Xiao Yichen wanted to speak a few times but did not know how to say it. After the meal, the two of them did not say a word.
At night, Lin Wan lay on the bed after taking a shower. She was very sleepy and fell asleep after closing her eyes.
After Xiao Yichen exited the bathroom and lay on the bed, pulled Lin Wan into his arms. He wanted to say a few words to her. If she was in a better mood, he wanted to ask her permission before eating her. However, seeing that she was sleeping soundly, all his previous thoughts were dispelled.
âMmâ¦â Because she was too tired, Lin Wan lay in Xiao Yichenâs arms and did not resist. She snorted softly, and her body could not help but move.
Xiao Yichen thought he had disturbed her sleep, so he hurriedly whispered, âBe good and sleep. 1 wonât move.â
Lin Wan seemed to have heard Xiao Yichenâs voice in her deep sleep and rubbed her head against his chest.
Xiao Yichen was satisfied with her actions. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, and he was satisfied.
It was as if he could only return to his previous feelings while sleeping with her. He was very happy and at ease when he hugged her to sleep.
In the next few days, Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan interacted indifferently. Without Xu Yanxiâs interference or Xiao Yichenâs other news, Lin Wan gradually followed her heart and was no longer cold to Xiao Yichen. Although they did not show any intimacy, at least when they spoke, Lin Wanâs words were gentle and happy.
Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan sat in the dining room for breakfast this morning.
Xiao Yichen said, âWanâer, Iâll take you out for dinner one day.â
âThe two of us?â Lin Wan asked Xiao Yichen.
âThereâs also Brother Zishen, Ziyan, and a friend,â Xiao Yichen said. Ultimately, he explained, âI told you last time that he had just returned to Ancheng City..â
