Despite her heart growing as cold as ice, nearly reaching sub-zero temperatures, she dared not resist, fearing she might worsen his wound.
Xiao Yichen fixed his gaze on Lin Wan. He couldnât quite decipher her current emotions, but he released his grip after some consideration.
Upon approaching Lu Hao, Lin Wan looked at him and said, âLetâs step outside and talk.â
From Lin Wanâs calm demeanor, Lu Hao could tell she had found her composure, albeit he could guess the source of that newfound serenity.
âOkay.â Lu Hao nodded in agreement.
âWait for me. 1â11 head upstairs and change my clothes,â Lin Wan informed Lu Hao.
Lu Hao nodded.
Lin Wan went upstairs to the room, retrieved her phone, and called Luo Ziyan, urging him to come to Blue Bay villa promptly before changing her attire.
Upon returning downstairs, Lin Wan gestured to Lu Hao, indicating they could depart.
Lu Hao began to walk toward Lin Wan, ready to leave with her.
Upon witnessing this, Xiao Yichen immediately strode forward, blocking Lin Wanâs path. He took her hand and implored, âWanâer, please donât go.â
He didnât want her to leave, fearing she wouldnât return once she left. He dreaded the thought of her following Lu Hao to the military zone, making her unreachable.
Xiao Yichen, standing in front of Lin Wan, remained calm. He met her gaze and inquired, âZiyan will arrive later. Please wait for him here.â
Now, she couldnât bear to utter the word âhomeâ. Is such a place still considered home?
âHave you contacted Ziyan?â Xiao Yichen asked.
âMm.â Lin Wan replied, then glanced at Xu Yanxi, who was nearby, her expression devoid of emotion.
Upon observing Xu Yanxi, Lin Wan felt a sense of relief. Since they were in love, she would grant their wish.
Xiao Yichen was protecting her, but he was also safeguarding Xu Yanxi, right?
She wished them well!
Gently, Lin Wan withdrew her arm from Xiao Yichenâs grasp and left the villa with Lu Hao. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWanâerâ¦â Xiao Yichen called out, wanting to pursue her.
However, Xu Yanxi suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yichenâs arm, preventing him from following.
âChen, Iâll stay here with you,â Xu Yanxi hastily offered.
Xiao Yichen struggled to free himself from Xu Yanxiâs grasp and chase after Lin Wan. He couldnât let Wanâer leave.
Yet, Xu Yanxi held him back, careful not to exert too much force due to his back, which was aching!
And so, Xiao Yichen watched his beloved woman depart with Lu Hao.
It was already half an hour later when Luo Ziyan finally arrived at Blue Bay villa. As he saw Xu Yanxi sitting beside Xiao Yichen, urgently tending to his injuries, Luo Ziyanâs heart skipped a beat.
âSit over there,â Luo Ziyan told Xu Yanxi with a touch of displeasure.
âSure,â Xu Yanxi replied, obediently relocating to a different spot for Luo Ziyan.
After Luo Ziyan settled down beside Xiao Yichen, he noticed the sweat on his face and the wounds on his back.
Instantly, Luo Ziyanâs expression darkened even more. He gazed at Xiao Yichenâs profile and inquired, âWhat happened? Whereâs Lin Wan?â
Once Luo Ziyan had finished his question, he scanned the surroundings for Lin Wan.
Previously, during Lin Wanâs phone call, she had only mentioned Yichenâs injury and urgently requested her presence. She hadnât provided any further details.
Before Xiao Yichen could respond, Xu Yanxi said, âI accidentally hurt Chen..â
