Normally, when he told her to comply, those two words were quite gentle. But now, with a hint of anger, she didn’t dare to continue resisting. She could only obey.

After Lin Wan settled onto the bed, she fell asleep on her side, with her back to Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen lay on the bed and observed the petite figure’s back. Then, he lifted the blankets and moved closer to embrace her from behind.

Lin Wan didn’t resist. Xiao Yichen was able to hold her. She closed her eyes and made an effort to breathe softly.

Xiao Yichen understood that she was in a bad mood. He wanted to talk to her, but seeing her like this broke his heart. Ultimately, he remained silent. He wrapped his arm around her waist and closed his eyes to sleep.

A few days later, Xiao Yichen drove Lin Wan to work today before heading to the East Mansion.

Upon arriving at the company, Xiao Yichen received a call from Lu Hao.

“Yichen, are you at the company?” Lu Hao asked.

“Yes, I just got here,” Xiao Yichen replied.

“Are you busy with work today? I’ll be heading to Eastern for business and thought I’d stop by to see you on the way,” Lu Hao inquired.

He was driving from the military compound to the city and wanted to give Xiao Yichen a heads-up so they could coordinate their schedules.

“I’m not too busy. Come over whenever you can!” Xiao Yichen responded. His brother was visiting the company, and he was a top priority. He’d make time to meet with him no matter how hectic his schedule.

“Great, see you later then,” Lu Hao confirmed.

“Alright.”

After hanging up, Xiao Yichen delved into his work.

By the time Lu Hao completed his tasks and arrived at the East Mansion, it was already noon. After visiting Xiao Yichen’s office, the two decided to grab lunch before resuming their discussion in Xiao Yichen’s.

After sitting in the reception area of Xiao Yichen’s office, they enjoyed a cup of tea and chatted.

“Yichen, do you know the area around Chengyang Road in the eastern district of Ancheng City?” Lu Hao asked.

Xiao Yichen momentarily considered and replied, “No, I’m unfamiliar.”

With that, Xiao Yichen asked again with concern, “Why do you ask?”

With a hint of concern, Lu Hao questioned, “1 need to find someone there.”

However, he masked his emotions too quickly for Xiao Yichen to detect.

“Who are you looking for? I can have my people search for them,” Xiao Yichen offered. He was more than willing to assist his brother in finding someone.

Lu Hao pondered momentarily before replying, “Never mind, 1’11 search for them myself.”

“I have some people under me, so I’ll let them search,” Lu Hao said. While he felt disappointed about not finding Lin Wan himself, locating her was a significant matter. He usually instructed his subordinates to watch for her whenever he had the opportunity. He believed that he would find her as long as Lin Wan was still in this city.

Upon hearing Lu Hao’s words, Xiao Yichen understood there was no need for further discussion and simply nodded.

He didn’t wish to push his brother, but whenever he sought assistance, he’d be ready to help.

Lu Hao changed the topic and asked, “I wonder if Brother Zishen is free these days? When can the four of us have a meal together?”

Then, Lu Hao realized he had misspoken and quickly corrected himself apologetically, “1 mean the five of us, including Sister-in-law.”

Upon hearing Lu Hao refer to her as “sister-in-law,” Xiao Yichen was thoroughly pleased. He responded, “Brother Zishen should be free. How about we schedule it for three nights from now? 1’11 contact Brother Zishen in advance. If the time changes, I’ll let you know.”

“Sounds good. Yichen, please make sure to bring your wife with you.” Lu Hao agreed with a smile..
