Upon witnessing her sonâs joy, Lin Wan couldnât help but feel happy, too.
Lu Hao observed the two of them, a smile playing on his lips. Their happiness brought him joy.
After breakfast, Lu Hao swiftly cleaned up the kitchen, and the family of three set off.
Lin Xiaoran sat in the back of Daddy Luâs car in high spirits. Humming a tune, he engaged in lively conversations with Daddy Lu and his mommy. The childâs innocent chatter contributed to the warm atmosphere inside the car.
After dropping his son off at kindergarten, Lu Hao drove Lin Wan to Elite Jewelry Company.
âIâll go in first. See you at home tonight.â Lin Wan bid Lu Hao farewell, opened the car door, and stepped out.
Upon seeing Lin Wan exit the car, Lu Hao promptly opened his door. Exiting the car, he swiftly approached Lin Wan on the other side.
âWanwan, I donât want to be separated from you,â Lu Hao expressed affectionately.
After stepping forward, Lu Hao slightly bent down, intending to kiss Lin Wan.
Upon sensing Lu Haoâs intentions, Lin Wan anticipated his move and turned her head to the side, presenting her profile.
He halted when Lu Hao was merely three centimeters away from Lin Wanâs profile.
Five years had passed, yet she still resisted accepting his kiss.
âLu Hao, this is downstairs of my company,â Lin Wan reminded him, pushing him away gently.
Lu Hao took a deep breath, attempting to calm himself before responding to Lin Wan, âOkay, hurry up and go to work. See you tonight.â
âMmâ¦â Lin Wan replied and hurriedly walked away.
Lin Wan couldnât shake off the nervousness as she returned to her office.
âLin Wan, whatâs wrong?â The concerned CEO, Bernard, inquired upon noticing Lin Wanâs distressed expression.
âOh, Iâm fine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Bernard.â Lin Wan snapped out of her thoughts and responded to the CEO.
âAlrightâ¦â Bernard nodded, recognizing that Lin Wan wouldnât divulge anything further. He continued, âCome to my office in ten minutes. Iâll discuss Something about the new company with you.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlrightâ¦â
After Bernard left, Lin Wan went to the pantry for a glass of water. After drinking, she sought repose before heading to the CEOâs office.
Seated at her desk, Lin Wan contemplated Lu Haoâs recent behavior. Then, a familiar figure gradually materialized in her mind, intensifying the yearning in her heart.
Xiao Yichen, how are you doing?
In the afternoon, when Xiao Yichen finished work and returned to Blue Bay villa, Auntie Li had already prepared food.
âYou can leave first. Come back tomorrow morning to clean up,â Xiao Yichen instructed Auntie Li.
âYes, sir,â Auntie Li replied, tidying up the kitchen before leaving Blue Bay villa.
Alone, Xiao Yichen didnât head directly to the dining room. Instead, he walked to the wine cabinet, pulled out a bottle of red wine, and grabbed a glass. Seated beside the cabinet, he started drinking.
With each glass downed in one gulp, Xiao Yichen moved on to the next. Completely oblivious to his empty stomach, he continued the harmful consumption.
Drunk, Xiao Yichenâs vision blurred. Upon leaning against the stool, he stared ahead.
Hazily, it seemed like he could see the person etched in his heart.
âHehâ¦â Xiao Yichen chuckled, persisting in his drinking.
After countless bottles, Xiao Yichen finally lost consciousness, though his mind remained clear.
âLin Wan, why are you leaving?â Xiao Yichen mumbled..
