Lin Wan opened her tired eyes and found her mother standing by the bed.
“Mom,” Lin Wan greeted and then inquired, “Aren’t you supposed to have classes in the afternoon? What time is it now?”
“I asked another teacher to cover my class,” Qiao Yujuan informed her daughter. She followed with a concerned question, “Wanwan, are you okay?”
Knowing that Xiao Yichen had been involved with another woman, the mayor’s daughter, Lin Wan’s suffering must have been profound.
“I’m fine,” Lin Wan replied, rubbing her eyes again, concealing any signs of her tears.

“Then rest for a little longer. I’ll prepare lunch for you now,” Qiao Yujuan said, seeing that her daughter didn’t want to talk further. She would find a better time to have a serious talk with her later.
“Alright,” Lin Wan nodded.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yichen went to the Eastern Empire, and You Luan presented the findings of his investigation.
“Mr. Xiao, I’ve discovered that this reporter works in the entertainment industry. However, the news this time…” You Luan hesitated.
“Continue,” Xiao Yichen said sternly.
“This reporter is Miss Xu’s friend. He attended Miss Xu’s party last night, so…” You Luan felt he didn’t need to say more. Xiao Yichen would surely understand. “So all of this was Yanxi’s doing?” Xiao Yichen inquired.
“Yes,” You Luan confirmed. An entertainment reporter being able to publish headlines that extended beyond the entertainment realm indicated that someone was orchestrating it behind the scenes.
Xiao Yichen clenched his fists in frustration, most anger directed at Xu Yanxi.
But what should he do now? He had warned Yanxi before. Was he going to harm her this time?
She was someone he had protected since she was a child, and he couldn’t bring himself to hurt her.
“Do you know how to handle that reporter?” Xiao Yichen asked You Luan.
“Understood,” You Luan replied. He was well aware of how to handle it.
If he handled it the way Xiao Yichen would, that reporter would surely pay a heavy price.
“You may leave now,” Xiao Yichen ordered.
You Luan nodded and exited.

Qiao Yujuan observed her daughter eating obediently. There were many questions on her mind that she wanted to ask, but she was concerned that her daughter would become upset if she did. So, she decided not to broach the subject.
In the evening, Lin Wan and her mother watched television in the living room. Suddenly, Lin Wan initiated a conversation.
“Mom, have you ever regretted marrying Dad?” Lin Wan inquired while resting her head on her mother’s shoulder.
Qiao Yujuan, taken aback by her daughter’s sudden question, answered honestly, “No, even though your father let me down, we… were once in love.”
Listening to her mother’s words, Lin Wan said nothing further.
Qiao Yujuan waited for a moment but didn’t hear her daughter respond. She turned to her daughter and asked, “Wan’er, you and Yichen…”
“Mom, I love Yichen. 1 love him deeply,” Lin Wan stated while gazing at an empty spot ahead. Her heart felt calm and clear.
She genuinely loved Xiao Yichen. In a short period, they had spent every day together, and she had fallen in love with him. Her feelings were so deep that she couldn’t easily extricate herself.
Qiao Yujuan sighed and took her daughter’s hand. She spoke affectionately, “Wanwan, a person like Yichen is no ordinary man. There are countless temptations around him, and his world is highly unpredictable. Given his status, some things may not be long-lasting..”
