Lin Wan smiled calmly and told Katie, “Let’s go over there. We can have something to drink.”

“Sure,” Katie responded. She took Lin Wan’s arm, and the two walked toward the nearby wine table.

Amidst the chatter of groups around them, Lin Wan and Katie engaged in conversation while sipping their drinks.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the crowd. Before Lin Wan and Katie could grasp the situation, they overheard someone nearby exclaim, “The CEO of Eastern Empire is here. Xiao Yichen has arrived!”

Upon hearing this news, Lin Wan felt a strange emptiness in her mind. It took her a while to process, and she found herself standing rooted to the ground in a daze.

Is Xiao Yichen here? Why is he here?

Considering that Xiao Yichen managed Ancheng City’s jewelry industry, his presence at such an event seemed reasonable.

“Lin Wan, are you alright?” Katie sensed Lin Wan’s emotions and asked with concern.

“Yes, I’m fine,” Lin Wan quickly replied, attempting to regain composure.

Upon struggling to steady herself, Lin Wan turned around. Surprisingly, she locked eyes with Xiao Yichen as he entered the venue.

Their gaze met at first sight.

After Xiao Yichen entered the venue, he intended to survey the surroundings. However, as his eyes landed on a specific spot and he prepared to look away, he met a pair of eyes. Suddenly, he felt frozen, unable to avert his gaze.

She is here.

Who brings her here? Or have I underestimated Elite Jewelry? Is she coming to represent her company?

Standing beside Xiao Yichen, Bai Lu initially smiled at the surrounding crowd. Gradually, she noticed that Xiao Yichen stood still, showing no intention to proceed further.

Bai Lu withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiao Yichen. She softly called out, “Yichen…”

Xiao Yichen immediately turned around and looked at Bai Lu. “Yes.”

“Let’s go in,” Bai Lu suggested with a smile, unaware of anything amiss with Xiao Yichen.

“Okay,” Xiao Yichen replied. He continued to walk with an indifferent expression as if what he had just witnessed did not exist.

Internally, however, his heart was already in turmoil.

Lin Wan remained in her spot, observing Xiao Yichen and the woman beside him. She couldn’t believe it.

His companion isn’t Xu Yanxi?

What about Xu Yanxi?

Could Xiao Yichen have had numerous women around him in the past five years?

Lin Wan gradually averted her gaze, trying to comfort herself.

She had nothing to do with him anymore. She shouldn’t care about who was by his side.

For someone as high and mighty as him, many women aspired to be his wife. Now that the person beside him wasn’t Xu Yanxi, it was not unexpected.

“Bai Lu is lucky to have hooked up with a big shot like Xiao Yichen. She doesn’t have to worry for the rest of her life.”

“Absolutely. Bai Lu has been with Xiao Yichen for more than five years.”

Overheard discussions reached Lin Wan’s ears. Lin Wan processed two pieces of information. First, the woman’s name was Bai Lu, and second, she had been with Xiao Yichen for five years.

“Lin Wan, you don’t look too good,” Katie observed Lin Wan’s stunned expression.

“Oh,” Lin Wan replied, regaining her composure. She felt embarrassed that Katie had caught her off guard twice. “Let’s go to a quiet place and sit for a while. I’m not feeling well..”
