Despite their initial lack of romantic feelings in the early days of their marriage, she developed a deep and genuine affection for Xiao Yichen due to their excellent rapport.
From the moment they first met until now, she had never considered herself to be acting cheaply or stealing someoneâs fiance.
Had Xiao Yichen ever mentioned his prior engagement to Xu Yanxi, she would have willingly initiated a divorce and severed ties with him. Yet, Xiao Yichen had never disclosed such information.
âA clear conscience? You must be remarkably shameless,â Xu Yanxi scolded, her inner frustration intensifying.
As Xu Yanxi observed Lin Wanâs face, she recalled their confrontation at Blue Bay villa. However, she couldnât discern any scars on Lin Wanâs face. It seemed that she had been too gentle that day. Today, she intended to give her a more severe lesson.
âLin Wan, 1 wonât let anyone who dares to provoke me off easily.â With that declaration, Xu Yanxi was ready to attack.
Xu Yanxi was preparing to lunge at Lin Wan and engage in a physical altercation.
She was convinced that in a fight, she could undoubtedly overpower her. Today, she intended to settle the matter once and for all.
Upon observing Xu Yanxiâs impulsiveness, Lin Wan made no effort to escape and was fully prepared to defend herself in a physical confrontation.
However, just as Xu Yanxi raised her hand, poised to strike Lin Wan, a cold, commanding voice echoed through the design department, capturing everyoneâs attention.
âStop!â Luo Zishen stood at the entrance of the design department and directed this stern command at Xu Yanxi.
Upon his arrival at Dream Phil Company, Luo Zishen overheard some employees whispering and became aware that something was amiss. He sought information from the director of the Administrative Department and learned that someone was causing trouble for Lin Wan. He had no difficulty deducing the identity of the troublemaker, so he swiftly rushed to the design department and encountered the chaotic scene.
Upon hearing the resolute voice behind her, Xu Yanxi halted her actions and turned to face the entrance.
When she spotted Luo Zishen, Xu Yanxi was taken aback. She couldnât believe that Zishen was there.
Since childhood, Luo Zishen had always been the elder brother figure among his friends. He commanded respect from all, including herself and Yichen. Even now, encountering him would make her feel somewhat apprehensive.
Lin Wan also noticed Luo Zishen. Her countenance remained indifferent and unexpressive as she stood still, not uttering a word.
Luo Zishen approached, positioning himself between Lin Wan and Xu Yanxi. First, he glanced at Lin Wan to ensure she was unharmed, then turned his attention to Xu Yanxi.
âBrother Zishen,â Xu Yanxi greeted.
âWhy are you here?â Luo Zishenâs tone brimmed with anger.
âIâm here to confront this woman,â Xu Yanxi replied, casting Lin Wan a hateful glare. âShe stole my fiance.â
âFiance? Do you have a fiance? Why didnât I know about this?â Luo Zishenâs tone remained steadfast, a hallmark of his usual seriousness.
Given his authoritative demeanor and status, the words of Luo Zishen held great weight in the eyes of those present. His words were regarded as absolute truth.
âIâ¦â Xu Yanxi was at a loss for words. Before arriving, she contemplated using the term âfianceâ, believing Dream Phil Company would not take issue with Lin Wan over a mere âboyfriendâ or âchildhood sweetheart.â
âYanxi.â Luo Zishen gazed at Xu Yanxi, each word bearing no hint of jest. âThis is my workplace, my domain. Do you think itâs appropriate to come here and cause a commotion?â
He added, âOr perhaps you wish to demonstrate the prestige of the mayorâs daughter to my employees?â
