Lin Wan sobbed even harder as Xiao Yichen tried to console her.
At that unexpected moment, Lu Hao entered the villa.
Lu Hao had come to find Lin Wan. Upon reaching Blue Bay villa, he noticed the open door and decided to enter.
However, what he encountered in the living room immediately furrowed his brow. âWhat is happening here?â
Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan turned to face Lu Hao simultaneously. Lin Wan wanted to question him, but her concern for Xiao Yichen held her back.
Lu Hao was acquainted with Xu Yanxi and was aware of the past connection between Xiao Yichen and Xu Yanxi. Upon observing the situation, he quickly approached and stood next to Xiao Yichen, his gaze fixed intently on his back.
In a matter of seconds, Lu Haoâs stern glare shifted from Xiao Yichen to Xu Yanxi, who stood nearby, and he asked in a firm tone, âIs this your doing?â
Xu Yanxi, no longer startled, regained her composure and responded, âYes, it was me. The person 1 wanted to hurt is Lin Wan, butâ¦â
Xu Yanxiâs sentence was left hanging, her eyes filled with worry as she gazed at Xiao Yichen.
Upon hearing Xu Yanxiâs admission, Lu Hao decided to confront her.
Whether it was Wanwan or Yichen, he would make her pay double the price if she had harmed them.
However, just as Lu Haoâs fist was about to reach Xu Yanxiâs face, Xiao Yichen suddenly intervened.
âLu Hao, stop!â Xiao Yichen called out to him, looking at Lu Hao.
Lu Hao was taken aback by Xiao Yichenâs words but complied.
Lin Wan, too, was surprised by Xiao Yichenâs intervention.
What is he doing? Is he protecting Xu Yanxi?
Instantly, Lin Wanâs heart grew cold once again. It seemed he still had strong feelings for Xu Yanxi.
âDonât hurt her,â Xiao Yichen implored Lu Hao. He may not have loved Yanxi, but he couldnât bear to see her harmed.
These words bewildered Lu Hao, and Lin Wan couldnât help but chuckle inwardly.
So, he isnât protecting me earlier but that woman.
âXiao Yichen, youâ¦â Lu Hao inquired with a perplexed expression.
Could it be that he still loved Xu Yanxi? But Wanwan is his wife.
Xiao Yichen understood Lu Haoâs uncertainty but chose not to respond. Instead, he asked, âWhy are you here?â
In response to Xiao Yichenâs question, Lu Hao replied icily, âIâm here to find Wanwan.â
Lu Haoâs gaze then turned to Lin Wan.
Lin Wan was uncomfortable. Knowing that Xiao Yichen was injured, she gently withdrew from his embrace and attempted to approach Lu Hao.
However, as Lin Wan stepped forward, Xiao Yichen gripped her arm and told Lu Hao, âSheâs with me. If you have no other business, you can leave.â
He didnât want Wanwan to meet Lu Hao, especially not because he feared losing her.
âI have something to discuss with her,â Lu Hao admitted. He couldnât sleep all night after seeing Wanwan yesterday, not knowing she was Yichenâs wife. He came to find her early this morning, wanting to have a conversation to learn about her life all these years and to express his feelings, even if she was Yichenâs wife.
Upon hearing Lu Haoâs words, Lin Wan spoke up before Xiao Yichen could say anything.
âLet go of me,â Lin Wanâs voice was gentle, her tone light, and her expression indifferent.
Xiao Yichen looked at her, but there was no emotion on her face.
âYichen, youâre injured, and 1 donât want to resist. Please let go of me,â Lin Wan continued, her voice still soft..
