“I told you last time, you don’t need to be so formal,” Luo Zishen said, his tone considerably softer than when he conversed with Xu Yanxi. “You’re my sister-in-law, so I should assist you.”

“Thank you, Brother Zishen,” Lin Wan altered her way of addressing him this time.

A faint smile graced Luo Zishen’s face. He gave a slight shake of his head, implying that gratitude was unnecessary, and he continued, “Yanxi’s temperament is quite extreme. Whatever she does, I hope you can have faith in Yichen.”

On behalf of his brother, Luo Zishen added, “Yichen was able to marry you in the first place. You’ve been living together for so long. In his heart… you hold a special place.”

Certain sentiments went unspoken. After all, emotions were shared between the two. All that could be hoped for was that Yanxi wouldn’t strain their bond and would continue to thrive.

“But he still cares about Xu Yanxi, doesn’t he?” Lin Wan inquired, her gaze focused on Luo Zishen.

Luo Zishen fell silent. It was true that Yichen still held a place in his heart for Yanxi. After all, they had known each other for over two decades, and in their childhood circle, Yichen was well-known for always protecting Yanxi.

At that time, everyone recognized how important Yanxi was to Yichen. He would go to great lengths for her.

Upon observing Luo Zishen’s silence, Lin Wan mulls it over. Beyond expressing her gratitude, she had little else to discuss.

“Brother Zishen, if there’s nothing else, I’ll return to work,” Lin Wan said.

Upon hearing her words, Luo Zishen nodded.

Lin Wan stood and departed from the meeting room.

As she stepped out of the meeting room, Lin Wan caught sight of Xiao Yichen swiftly approaching.

At that moment, Lin Wan’s annoyance resurfaced.

She longed for peace, to be immersed in her world and to find respite.

Xiao Yichen also spotted Lin Wan at that instant. He hurriedly approached her and examined her. His worry was evident, yet he didn’t speak.

After confirming that she was unharmed, Xiao Yichen inquired, “Wan’er, she didn’t do anything to you… did she?”

Lin Wan felt a surge of anger upon hearing Xiao Yichen’s words. However, her heart fluttered briefly when she met his concerned gaze and worried expression.

His expression, his demeanor, and his eyes were unmistakable.

At this moment, he was genuinely concerned about her.

Yet, she couldn’t believe he loved her.

Lin Wan regained her composure, suppressing her emotions, and replied, “I’m fine.”

She strode past Xiao Yichen and headed toward the design department.

Xiao Yichen turned and watched Lin Wan’s retreating figure. His brow furrowed deeply, and his heart… ached.

After Lin Wan left his sight, Xiao Yichen finally turned around and returned to the meeting room, aware that Luo Zishen was there.

Luo Zishen displayed no surprise at Xiao Yichen’s arrival. He instructed his assistant to bring over two cups of coffee, and they sat in the conference room and engaged in conversation.

“I supported Lin Wan today, but I can’t guarantee I can do so next time,” Luo Zishen remarked, conveying the underlying message.

“Yes, I understand,” Xiao Yichen acknowledged. He glanced at Luo Zishen and said, “Thank you.”

Luo Zishen didn’t attach great importance to his brother’s gratitude. He was concerned, “Find a way to prevent Yanxi from acting recklessly. Otherwise… the one who’ll suffer injuries will be Lin Wan.”

If Xu Yanxi and Lin Wan were to engage in a confrontation, both of them knew the result was predictable.

“Yes.” Xiao Yichen nodded..
