Chapter 191 - 191: Never Had the Right to Decide
When Xiao Yichen took a shower and lay on the bed, Lin Wan had already closed her eyes and fallen asleep.
Xiao Yichen carefully drew Lin Wan into his arms and held her as she slept.
With her presence, his world was bathed in sunshine!
At the dawn of a new day, Lin Wan opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Xiao Yichen’s face. He was gazing at her.
“Are you awake?” Xiao Yichen asked gently.
“Yes,” Lin Wan replied. Her voice lacked the previous coquettishness, appearing more distant.
“It’s still early. Would you like to sleep a little longer?” Xiao Yichen suggested, his hand caressing her cheek.
“No,” Lin Wan responded, pushing Xiao Yichen’s hand away and getting out of bed to freshen up.
When Lin Wan arrived at Dream Phil company for work, Shen Yun could tell immediately that Lin Wan was in a subdued mood. It must have been due to what had occurred yesterday.
Shen Yun wanted to ask Lin Wan, but she was concerned that she might trigger Lin Wan’s sadness, so she opted not to inquire for now.
The day passed swiftly. Upon her return home in the afternoon, Lin Wan had just stepped into the living room when she noticed Xiao Yichen descending the stairs and approaching her.
Xiao Yichen reached his long arm to draw Lin Wan into his embrace.
“Did you have a tiring day at work?” he asked, showing concern.
“It’s alright,” Lin Wan responded composedly, her gaze directed away from Xiao Yichen.
Upon seeing her aloof demeanor, Xiao Yichen felt slightly uneasy, but he understood the reason behind her behavior.
“Dinner isn’t ready yet. Shall we sit on the sofa and wait?” Xiao Yichen’s tone remained gentle.
Lin Wan didn’t utter a word but nodded.
Xiao Yichen held her hand, and they moved to the sofa together. Xiao Yichen used both hands to guide Lin Wan onto his lap as she was about to sit down.
Lin Wan felt awkward as she sat on Xiao Yichen’s lap, and her emotions felt forced. She avoided looking at Xiao Yichen.
She had previously considered this gesture intimate, but now it felt awkward and even… unwilling.
Has that woman, Xu Yanxi, experienced this before?
Despite her thoughts, Lin Wan remained silent. The two of them sat there in silence.
After dinner, Lin Wan retired upstairs to rest while Xiao Yichen went to his study to work.
Once he had completed his work and returned to the bedroom, it was already past ten o’clock. Xiao Yichen saw Lin Wan asleep on the bed and smiled.
After taking a shower, Xiao Yichen lay on the bed. He couldn’t contain the longing and pulled Lin Wan into his arms, initiating an intimate encounter.
“Go to sleep,” Lin Wan mumbled sleepily without opening her eyes.
Xiao Yichen didn’t hear Lin Wan’s words and impatiently expressed, “Wan’er, I want…”
Lin Wan had no energy to respond and didn’t know how to react.
Will he refrain if 1 decline? In all these moments in bed, I have never truly possessed the right to decide.
In the end, Xiao Yichen had his way with Lin Wan.
Xiao Yichen’s initial intentions of seeking her favor and trying to ignite her emotions gradually faded, replaced by a hint of rising anger.
After a considerable time, Xiao Yichen left Lin Wan’s side and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
Lin Wan lay on the bed, gazing at the ceiling with vacant eyes. Eventually, she grabbed the blanket beside her, wrapping herself up tightly..
