If he weren’t the CEO of the Eastern Empire, it would have been a pity if he hadn’t become an actor!

After Lin Wan had logged out of the post, she skimmed through the next few posts. The titles seemed to be related to Xiao Yichen.

Lin Wan had no time to pay attention to it. She exited the news interface and put her phone aside. She picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee.

Upon looking at the floor-to-ceiling window, Lin Wan’s eyes filled with tears, but she managed to hold them back.

Her pain, her heartache. She could only blame herself for falling in love with someone who didn’t love her.

He… she shouldn’t have loved him. She had no right to interfere with his world, life, and feelings. From the beginning, she had been out of her league. She was reaping what she had sown.

Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. Lin Wan and Xiao Yichen had a peculiar relationship during these two days. They shared the same bed but didn’t communicate or interact intimately. They ate together, but Lin Wan remained silent throughout the meals.

Xiao Yichen couldn’t do much about Lin Wan’s distant attitude, so he did his best to keep her company.

After Xiao Yichen finished his meeting in the afternoon, he received a message from Xu Yanxi reminding him not to be late for the evening party.

After reading the message, Xiao Yichen deleted it and dialed Lin Wan’s number.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

“Wan’er…” Xiao Yichen called out intimately.

“Yes,” Lin Wan replied coldly on the other end.

“I’m attending a party tonight, and I might return late,” Xiao Yichen informed her. He needed to tell her he wouldn’t be home on time, given they lived together.

“Okay,” was Lin Wan’s terse response, devoid of additional words.

Is he going to a party? He is going with Xu Yanxi, right?

Upon hearing Lin Wan’s cold response, Xiao Yichen found himself at a loss for words.

There was a profound silence on the call, neither side uttering a word.

“Are you… busy with work?” Xiao Yichen asked.

“Yes, I might have to work overtime today,” Lin Wan stated.

Xiao Yichen waited momentarily before suggesting, “Then go ahead. Don’t overwork yourself.”

“Mm…” Lin Wan hung up.

In the afternoon, Lin Wan continued to work overtime at the company. Meanwhile, Xiao Yichen selected a gift at the mall and drove to the Xu residence.

Xu Yanxi’s party was grand, but the guest list was short. It primarily consisted of her female friends and besties, with just a few men in attendance.

When Xiao Yichen arrived at the Xu residence, he first greeted Xu Yanxi’s parents.

A camera located some distance away captured this scene.

“Yanxi was fussing earlier because you weren’t here, but now she’s disappeared,” Xu Yaozhong said to Xiao Yichen with a smile.

This young man is genuinely outstanding. He is the president of the Eastern Empire, running it efficiently and effectively. Moreover, he has a multitude of strengths. There are no shortcomings in him. It’s no wonder Yanxi loves him so deeply.

“It’s okay, Uncle. I’ll go find Yanxi,” Xiao Yichen replied politely.

He remained respectful toward his elders, and if Yanxi could not control her emotions and did something, he would still indulge her.

“Alright, go ahead,” Xu Yaozhong said, also smiling.

Xiao Yichen nodded and then left to find Xu Yanxi nearby.

He only wanted to appear for a party like today, see Yanxi, and then leave.

At this moment, Xu Yanxi was chatting with her two best friends.. When she saw Xiao Yichen’s figure, she waved happily and shouted, “Yichen, Chen, over here!”
