After a brief pause, Lin Wan walked over.

However, as she approached Xiao Yichen, he gently pulled her into his arms.

Xiao Yichen seated Lin Wan on his lap, one arm encircling her waist, while the other hand extended to the supper plate. He offered it to her, saying, “Please, have some.”

She must be hungry after working so late.

As Lin Wan gazed at the meal and felt Xiao Yichen’s affectionate actions, she couldn’t suppress her feelings. Her heart raced with excitement.

Lin Wan reached out, taking a portion of the supper from the plate.

After the meal, they lay on the bed, preparing to rest.

Lin Wan, exhausted from her day’s work, quickly drifted off to sleep.

Xiao Yichen watched the delicate features of the woman beside him, and his desire was reignited. However, he couldn’t bring himself to disturb her peaceful slumber, so he restrained himself.

Eventually, Xiao Yichen’s restraint waned. He kissed Lin Wan tenderly while she slept, savoring the moment before finally rising from the bed for a cold shower.

The following day, when Lin Wan arrived at the company, Shen Yun angrily pulled her into the stairwell.

“Wanwan, what’s going on?” Lin Wan was puzzled by Shen Yun’s early morning anger and couldn’t fathom why Shen Yun dragged her into the stairwell.

“Wanwan, Xiao Yichen has gone too far,” Shen Yun said as she handed Lin Wan a newspaper.

Lin Wan accepted the newspaper, unsure what had provoked Shen Yun’s anger until she read the headline on the front page.

The headline read: “Empire’s President Suspected to Marry Mayor’s Daughter Soon.”

And the subheadline read: “A Business and Political Union—Xiao Yichen and Xu Yanxi: A Match Made in Heaven.”

As she read the news and saw the accompanying photos, which included images of Xiao Yichen with the mayor and the mayor’s wife and another of him whispering closely to Xu Yanxi.

Lin Wan felt her world unravel. In front of Shen Yun, she couldn’t hide her emotions, and she took a few steps back, leaning against the wall, almost feeling faint.

“Wanwan, what is Xiao Yichen playing at? He’s reaping benefits while watching the pot. What does he take you for?” Shen Yun fumed on behalf of her friend.

Lin Wan remained silent, her mind in turmoil as she leaned against the wall. She felt overwhelmed by the news. Eventually, the emotional turmoil became too much for her to bear, and she lost consciousness, slumping against the wall.

“Wanwan, Wanwan…” Upon seeing Lin Wan about to fall, Shen Yun rushed to support her.

“Wanwan, wake up…” Shen Yun called out, anxious.

After a while, Lin Wan regained consciousness in Shen Yun’s arms.

Lin Wan opened her eyes and stared into the distance for a long time. Finally, she said, “Yunyun, help me… up first.”

“Okay.” Only then did Shen Yun help Lin Wan stand with some difficulty.

Lin Wan leaned against the wall for a while, doing her best to push the distressing news from her mind. After composing herself, she took a shaky step forward.

“Wanwan, what are you going to do?” Shen Yun knew that Lin Wan was upset, but she was uncertain about her next course of action.

“I’d like to request a leave,” Lin Wan said, her emotions now much better than before..
