Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Upon hearing Bai Lu’s words, Xiao Yichen turned and left without offering a farewell.
As she observed Xiao Yichen’s departure, Bai Lu felt a twinge of reluctance. However, under the watchful eyes around her, she concealed her emotions with a forced smile and went to a nearby table, choosing solitude with a glass of wine.
Meanwhile, Lin Wan and Katie meandered along the garden path. Suddenly, Katie sensed discomfort in her stomach. She quickly informed Lin Wan, “Lin Wan, I need to use the restroom. Feel free to walk around; I’ll be back soon.”
With that, Katie released Lin Wan’s arm and hurried away.
“Katie, should I go with you?” Lin Wan asked with concern.
“No, I’m fine,” Katie hastily replied before disappearing.
Upon watching Katie leave, Lin Wan didn’t dwell on it. With people around, Katie would be safe.
Lin Wan continued her stroll. Abruptly, a towering figure blocked her path.
Upon looking up, Lin Wan saw an unfamiliar man.
“Hello, beautiful!” The man, slightly disheveled with visible stubble, regarded Lin Wan with an unsettling grin.
“Hehe, hello,” Lin Wan responded, her nerves on edge. It was evident that the man was not friendly.
“You’re stunning.” The man leered, his unwelcome smile scanning Lin Wan from head to toe. His gaze then lingered on her chest. “Beauty, I’ve booked a suite upstairs. How about joining me?”
Lin Wan discerned the man’s intentions and struggled to maintain composure. She smiled and replied, “I’m sorry, I’m not interested.”
“Why not?” The man persisted with his lascivious smile. Upon glancing at Lin Wan’s face and chest, he continued, “I promise you won’t regret it. Come on!” As he spoke, the man extended his hand toward Lin Wan.
Reacting swiftly, Lin Wan took a couple of steps back.
Yet, due to nervousness and high heels, she lost her balance and began falling backward.
She thought she would fall to the ground.
Suddenly, a long arm wrapped around Lin Wan’s waist and supported her entire body in midair.
Lin Wan’s mind went blank. Suddenly, she recognized a familiar scent.
Is it him?
Xiao Yichen lowered his head, meeting Lin Wan’s bewildered gaze. Unexplained anger surged within him, evident in his intense gaze.
After assisting her to stand, Xiao Yichen retained his hold on her waist, dismissing her attempts to break free.
Upon observing the scene, the man was dumbfounded, especially by Xiao Yichen’s ominous countenance. He didn’t know how to react.
“Mr. Xiao.” The man recognized Xiao Yichen and stammered.
“Do you want to ask her out?” Xiao Yichen ignored the man’s greeting. After saying those words, he fixed his gaze on the woman by his side.
Lin Wan sensed imminent danger. Xiao Yichen hadn’t assisted her in saving her; it was apparent in the aura he emanated and the fury in his eyes.
“Let go of me,” Lin Wan struggled persistently, attempting to escape Xiao Yichen’s grasp, but her efforts proved futile..
