BXBX NOVEL Chapter 211 - 211: I’ll Be With You
“Yes, I did. 1 took plenty of photos. Don’t worry,” the friend said with enthusiasm.
Xu Yanxi nodded and smiled. “Do you know how to write tomorrow’s news?”
“Absolutely! I’ve been a reporter in the entertainment industry for three years. Even if this isn’t entertainment news, 1 know how to spin it,” the friend replied confidently.
“Mm…” Xu Yanxi responded with satisfaction.
Xiao Yichen drove straight home and entered the living room. He scanned the area, but there was no sign of his wife. Xiao Yichen hurried up the stairs.
Upon opening the bedroom door, he peered inside and found the dark room. After switching on the lights, he realized the bed was empty.
Wan’er isn’t at home?
Xiao Yichen felt confused. Upon gathering his wits, he quickly retrieved his phone and dialed his wife’s number.
The phone was picked up after three rings.
Lin Wan’s calm voice answered, “Hello…”
“Where are you?” Xiao Yichen inquired, a mix of worry and excitement in his voice.
“I’m working late at the office,” Lin Wan replied.
Xiao Yichen frowned. He thought, “Why is she still working at this hour?”
“Are you finished?” Xiao Yichen suppressed his excitement.
“Not yet,” Lin Wan replied in her calm tone.
“Okay…” Xiao Yichen replied and hung up.
Without much deliberation, he left the bedroom, descended the stairs, and exited the villa. He drove in the direction of Dream Phil company.
The office building was still illuminated, including Dream Phil Company. Lin Wan was the sole occupant left in the design department’s office.
Her gaze remained fixed on the computer screen, fingers flying across the keyboard. In the silent night, the only audible sound was the rhythmic tapping of her keyboard.
The monotonous keystrokes heightened Lin Wan’s sensitivity to any other sounds. When she heard footsteps, she turned to see who was approaching.
Xiao Yichen strode toward her.
His unanticipated arrival took advantage of Lin Wan. She watched him approach in astonishment.
Only when he stood before her did Lin Wan ask, “Why are you here?”
“I’ve come to keep you company,” Xiao Yichen replied as he pulled a chair next to Lin Wan’s desk and seated beside her.
“Didn’t you go to the party?” Lin Wan inquired.
“It’s finished,” Xiao Yichen replied, then turned his attention to Lin Wan’s computer screen and asked, “Are you working on the information for the presentation?”
Having some knowledge of jewelry design, he had a vague idea of what she was working on at the moment.
“Mm,” Lin Wan replied without delving into details.
“You can keep working. I’ll stay with you,” Xiao Yichen said.
“No need,” Lin Wan replied, concerned about the possible presence of colleagues from other departments. “You can go to the conference room and wait for me.”
Xiao Yichen didn’t reply to Lin Wan’s words. He said, “You’re the only one working late on this floor.”
In other words, there was no one else around to see him here.
Upon hearing Xiao Yichen’s words, Lin Wan contemplated for a moment but ultimately didn’t say anything. She continued with her work.
When Lin Wan completed her tasks, it was nearly midnight. The two of them left the office together.
When they returned to Blue Bay villa, it was well past 1.00 a.m. Lin Wan took a late-night shower. When she emerged from the bathroom, she found a late-night meal waiting on the bedroom table.
“Come over.” Xiao Yichen gestured from the sofa, inviting Lin Wan to join him..
