Lin Wan’s struggle only fueled Xiao Yichen’s anger.

What is her intention in trying to break free? Is she planning to go to the suite with that man?

Confused by the situation, the man quickly clarified to Xiao Yichen, “No, no, Mr. Xiao, if it’s the woman you like, I… I didn’t mean any harm.”

Knowing the circumstances well, the man understood that Xiao Yichen was interested in this woman due to his ambiguous actions. He wasn’t about to admit it.

He still wanted to live a few more years. Dying at the hands of Xiao Yichen would be a terrifying prospect.

“Get lost,” Xiao Yichen commanded coldly, not bothering to look at the man as he made a hasty exit.

“Alright, alright, I’ll get lost!” The man repeated himself. Then, he hurriedly turned around and stumbled away.

With only Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan remaining, Lin Wan realized her struggle was futile, so she stopped resisting.

Beside Xiao Yichen, she summoned her courage and met his gaze.

“Xiao Yichen, it’s been a while,” she said composedly.

The hatred in Xiao Yichen’s eyes bordered on murderous rage.

“Indeed,” Xiao Yichen responded, his thin lips parting slightly. Upon clenching his fists, he was filled with an overwhelming hatred for this woman.

“Mm…” Lin Wan winced in pain, her brows furrowing as if a dagger had struck her waist. The pain was intense.

Xiao Yichen’s heart trembled at seeing Lin Wan’s pained expression. However, his overwhelming hatred for her drowned out any empathy.

Suddenly, he removed his hand from Lin Wan’s waist. The next moment, his firm grip shifted to her arm, pulling her toward the hotel building.

Before Lin Wan could react, Xiao Yichen had already towed her several steps away.

Though Lin Wan staggered, she managed to steady herself. Upon glancing at Xiao Yichen’s gloomy profile, she urgently asked, “Xiao Yichen, where are you taking me?”

Ignoring her words, Xiao Yichen entered the hotel lobby, making a beeline for Room 1106 on the west side.

Once inside the room, he forcefully propelled Lin Wan against the door, pressing her down.

“Xiao Yichen, let go of me,” Lin Wan pleaded urgently. She attempted to break free, but escape proved impossible with a solid door behind her and Xiao Yichen’s imposing frame in front.

Xiao Yichen reached out, his fingers pinching Lin Wan’s chin. Upon gazing at her delicate face, his mind swirled with conflicted thoughts.

Almost every night for the past five years, it was this face, this familiar aura, that haunted his dreams. It felt like a poison, lingering in his body for more than five years. Until this moment and even in the future…

“Why are you back?” Xiao Yichen questioned, his voice unusually cold.

Lin Wan was momentarily stunned, silenced by his intensity.

She knew he would be furious, possibly even murderous, but she couldn’t afford to appear weak.

She left for her reasons five years ago, and her return was equally motivated. They had parted ways long ago. It didn’t matter now.

Upon attempting to muster confidence, Lin Wan met Xiao Yichen’s gaze and spoke calmly, “I will come back if I want to.”

Her response only fueled Xiao Yichen’s anger further.

She could come and go whenever she pleased, while he…

After she left, he felt as though he had lost his soul. Every night for the past five years felt like an eternity. Upon learning of her return, his heart stirred again. Just moments ago, he had held hope. Now, her answer only intensified his internal turmoil.

“Where’s Lu Hao?” Xiao Yichen inquired, the intensity in his eyes unwavering..
