Lin Wan truly felt unwell. Her heart ached, and her head throbbed with dizziness.

“Sure, let’s go!” Katie agreed, supporting Lin Wan as they made their way to a quiet spot with a small stool.

Xiao Yichen couldn’t help but steal glances at her figure. As he saw her walking away, a pang of pain struck his heart.

She had lost weight, but her beauty remained intact. Tonight, the way she dressed and carried herself exuded a captivating beauty.

“Yichen, let’s enjoy some red wine,” Bai Lu suggested, offering Xiao Yichen a glass.

Xiao Yichen turned to Bai Lu, his expression neutral. He accepted the glass, clinked it with Bai Lu, and took a couple of sips.

As the ceremony was about to begin, Xiao Yichen, having arrived on time, needed to take the stage and address the gathering.

“Go ahead. I’ll wait for you here,” Bai Lu said with a considerate smile.

“Alright,” Xiao Yichen replied, walking to the side of the podium without glancing at Bai Lu.

While the host spoke on stage, Xiao Yichen, waiting at the side, called a waiter over. “Where’s my VIP lounge?”

“Mr. Xiao, your VIP lounge is 1106, the one on the west side of the first floor,” the waiter replied politely.

Xiao Yichen nodded. When he heard his name called, he ascended the stage.

Lin Wan and Katie didn’t join the viewing platform, yet Lin Wan’s heart ached as his voice echoed through the speakers.

Upon having missed him for over five years, memories of him that were once blurry in her mind now surged back with a surprising intensity. His magnetic voice stirred emotions in her heart like never before.

“Well, as expected of the head of Ancheng City’s jewelry industry. That voice is so commanding.” Katie sighed.

Lin Wan snapped out of her reverie. Trying to sound serious, she said, “Indeed, as you just witnessed. He’s a man of elegance and nobility.”

“True. It’s a shame he already has someone he likes. Otherwise, I’d love to meet him and perhaps have a romantic rendezvous accidentally,” Katie indulged in her fantasy of an unmarried girl, imagining a chance encounter with her ideal lover.

Lin Wan remained silent. She was no longer lost in her thoughts. She heard his voice, but her heart remained indifferent.

After Xiao Yichen concluded his speech, people mingled and chatted.

Lin Wan and Katie had been sitting for a while. Unable to stay idle, Katie suggested, “Lin Wan, let’s explore the area nearby. I initially wanted to network, but seeing everyone so engrossed in their conversations, I suddenly lost interest in such lively occasions.”

“Yes.” Lin Wan agreed. Such social gatherings were not her preference.

“Come on, let’s stroll around,” Katie proposed, and the two began walking along the paths surrounding the venue.

Upon Xiao Yichen’s return to Bai Lu, he anticipated a conversation but initiated it himself.

“I’m going to meet some friends. Feel free to enjoy yourself, okay?” Xiao Yichen informed her.

Bai Lu couldn’t express what she intended to say, but with experience in such situations, she understood the importance of tact. “Sure, go ahead.”

In a public setting, Bai Lu refrained from saying anything that might lead him to dislike her. Men valued their careers and connections, displaying their temperament in social circles..
