Xiao Yichen prepared the noodles swiftly. As Lin Wan sat in the dining room, savoring the delicious and simple meal, she felt a sense of contentment.
“It’s really tasty!” Lin Wan was like a child, expressing her satisfaction with just a bowl of noodles.
Xiao Yichen observed the joy on her face and felt even more affectionate toward her. “I’ll make it for you again next time if you want.”
“Indeed…”
After their meal, Lin Wan waited in the dining room while Xiao Yichen cleaned the kitchen. When he was finished, he carried Lin Wan upstairs to rest.
That night, they fell asleep in each other’s arms, feeling happy and at peace.
As Xiao Yichen arrived at the East Mansion the following day, You Luan approached him hurriedly, presenting today’s newspaper.
“Mr. Xiao,” You Luan greeted respectfully, handing the newspaper to his boss and saying, “You and Miss Xu are featured in the headlines.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yichen’s brow furrowed, and he swiftly took the newspaper to read.
The front page featured a photo of him and Yanxi, accompanied by a headline.
Simultaneously, at Dream Phil Company, Lin Wan also noticed the news. She couldn’t help but feel a little concerned. The person in the photo was indeed Yichen, and the woman holding his arm, while not showing her face, was dressed elegantly and seemed quite young.
After scrutinizing it momentarily, Lin Wan decided not to dwell on it further. After spending considerable time with Xiao Yichen, she understood his affection for her, particularly after last night’s bowl of fragrant noodles. She believed he genuinely cared for her.
After closing the browser, Lin Wan returned to her work. She knew her current focus was winning the SU Collection design competition and securing a place at R1SD for further studies. She would have a bright future ahead.
After a busy morning, when Lin Wan and Shen Yun were having lunch together, Shen Yun asked Lin Wan softly, “Wanwan, the news today, it’s not true, right?”
Lin Wan didn’t answer Shen Yun but instead told her about Xiao Yichen cooking for her last night.
Shen Yun’s eyes shone with certainty, and she assured her, “Wanwan, your husband loves you dearly. Trust me, this news is entirely false. That woman must have instigated it to garner attention.”
Lin Wan agreed as she had considered the same possibility.
“Your husband is outstanding, and you two are privately married, so as long as you don’t let these scandals bother you, it’s fine,” Shen Yun counseled her.
“Indeed…”
At the East Mansion, Xiao Yichen returned to his office after lunch, intending to begin work. However, he received a call from Xu Yanxi.
“Chen, can you go shopping with me this afternoon?” Xu Yanxi’s coquettish voice emanated from the phone.
“Yanxi, I have some work this afternoon,” Xiao Yichen tactfully declined. He was worried about upsetting Xu Yanxi, adding, “I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”
“No, I want you to go shopping with me,” Xu Yanxi persisted. After a brief pause, she continued, “You go ahead with your work. I’ll meet you at East Mansion later, and when you’re done, we can go shopping together.”
After Xu Yanxi finished speaking, she had already decided without waiting for Xiao Yichen to say anything. She continued, “That’s settled then. See you later. Bye.”
Before Xiao Yichen could respond, the call ended.
He felt resigned as he knew Xu Yanxi’s personality well. After a brief pause, he reached for his phone and called Lin Wan..
