After shedding tears for a while, Lin Wan gradually regained her composure. She continued to gaze ahead, motionless.
Luo Ziyan sensed it was time and walked over to her side, whispering, “Lin Wan, it’s time to go back.”
Lin Wan didn’t reply to his comment but instead said suddenly, “Ziyan, do you know? Even in the past, when my stepmother and sister mistreated me, 1 never held any hatred toward them. But now, 1 despise Xu Yanxi. 1 hate her for tearing my family apart.”
Luo Ziyan stood by Lin Wan’s side and listened in silence. He was aware that the call during the meal had been from Yanxi.
Understanding the bitterness in Lin Wan’s heart, he felt sympathetic. If he were in Lin Wan’s shoes, he’d probably feel the same way, no matter how good Yanxi’s past relationship with Yichen had been. Now that Yichen had made it clear that he no longer loved her, and he and Lin Wan were already married, she had no right to disrupt Yichen’s life further.
“I love Xiao Yichen. 1 truly love him,” Lin Wan conveyed her emotions to Luo Ziyan, her voice trembling, perhaps from the cold or the profound sadness. “I want to lead a simple life with him. We’d work together during the day and share dinner and TV in the evenings. Our lives would be straightforward and uncomplicated, but…”
Lin Wan paused, leaving her sentence unfinished.
Luo Ziyan comprehended the depth of Lin Wan’s words and the sorrow she was currently experiencing.
“Lin Wan,” he called softly after a moment’s contemplation. He added, “You should tell Yichen about your feelings. He’ll undoubtedly provide you with the life you desire.”
He had faith in Yichen’s love for Lin Wan. If Yichen knew what Lin Wan yearned for, he’d surely put in the effort to ensure she enjoyed a peaceful and happy life.
“Heh…” Lin Wan chuckled wryly and continued, “Perhaps, in the past, 1 might have believed that he would grant me that life. But now, I don’t believe it anymore.”
She had been disappointed by him on numerous occasions. Furthermore, she repeatedly confirmed his relationship with Xu Yanxi. How could she believe in this now?
Was she to believe that the two of them were innocent? But what evidence could she find to refute those words and facts?
Luo Ziyan considered speaking further, but upon seeing Lin Wan’s cold profile, he refrained from doing so.
She appeared sad. If he said more, it might make her emotions even more turbulent.
After they silently stood there, Luo Ziyan removed his coat and placed it over Lin Wan. Feeling the cold and realizing she was still dressed, he knew she must be colder than he was.
“Thank you,” Lin Wan said, her emotions now more under control as she expressed her gratitude to Luo Ziyan.
“Lin Wan,” Luo Ziyan called out to her.
“Hmm?” Lin Wan turned to meet his gaze, her eyes locking onto his.
“Have you ever loved Lu Hao?” Luo Ziyan inquired.
Lin Wan was taken aback, not comprehending the meaning behind Luo Ziyan’s question. “What do you mean?”
Upon seeing Lin Wan’s bewildered expression, Luo Ziyan continued, “Have you ever loved him?”
“He was my childhood friend. We were just childhood playmates,” Lin Wan clarified, providing her response. “There’s only friendship between us..”
