Chapter 326 - 326: He Met Her!
In her presence, he found himself utterly powerless. She was like a seductive poison, and because of her allure, he yearned to take possession of her completely.
Lin Wan gazed at Xiao Yichen’s retreating figure until it vanished. She then composed herself, adjusted her clothing, and rejoined Katie and Sally at the dining table.
Lin Wan offered a brief explanation for her prolonged absence, and the trio settled the bill before departing the restaurant.
Upon reaching home, Lin Wan found the living room deserted, and her assumption that her mother had already retired for the night proved correct. After a refreshing shower, she lay on the bed, wrapped in blankets. Sleep eluded her for an extended period, her mind consumed by memories of Xiao Yichen’s face and the familiar sensation of his kiss.
Once, even the slightest embrace from him would set her heart pounding uncontrollably. Yet, now, that heartbeat was absent. It had vanished, never to return.
He had kissed numerous women, and undoubtedly, his body had shared intimate moments with many others.
Bai Lu, too, was among them, wasn’t she?
The more Lin Wan dwelled on these thoughts, the more perplexed she became. Eventually, she closed her eyes, coercing herself into a restless slumber.
The following day, armed with pertinent information, Lin Wan and Katie ventured outside the company to discuss collaboration with prospective partners.
One such visit led them to a modeling agency. As Lin Wan approached the receptionist for negotiations, she unexpectedly crossed paths with Xiao Yichen and You Luan.
Upon spotting Lin Wan, You Luan instinctively bowed respectfully and began to greet, “Madam…”
After uttering the first word, You Luan abruptly sensed the tension and decided against completing the greeting.
“Hello, You Luan,” Lin Wan acknowledged, recognizing the gesture.
“Yes, hello,” You Luan replied courteously, choosing not to address her further.
With Xiao Yichen and company personnel present, he refrained from using the “Madam.” Unsure of what else to call her, he opted to remain neutral.
“Why are you here?” Xiao Yichen inquired with an icy tone and expression.
Unwilling to engage in friendly conversation, Lin Wan responded indifferently, “I have a business to attend to.”
Upon declining further discussion, she shifted her gaze towards You Luan, softening her expression. “I’ll take my leave now.”
“Okay…” You Luan replied, bowing slightly.
Xiao Yichen seethed with anger. She dismissed his inquiry with just casual words but showed such courtesy to You Luan!
Upon observing Lin Wan’s departure, Xiao Yichen redirected his furious gaze toward You Luan.
As he sensed his boss’s displeasure, You Luan lowered his head, shrinking back, and remained silent.
It was merely a customary polite exchange. He had no ulterior motives!
“Go and take a look at why she is here?” Xiao Yichen interrogated You Luan, making his intentions clear. “You should know what to do.”
Upon arriving early to gauge the company’s capabilities for potential collaboration, he hadn’t anticipated encountering her!
If his hunch was correct, she was here for a partnership with Elite Jewelry.
“Yes.” You Luan nodded, fully aware of the situation. When Xiao Yichen took an interest in Elite Jewelry and didn’t see Lin Wan, he discerned Xiao Yichen’s motives.
After You Luan’s departure, Xiao Yichen retreated to a reception room to collect his thoughts. Sitting there, he contemplated something and decided to message You Luan..
