Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Though uncertain of the potential consequences of pushing Xiao Yichen to his limits, she believed she had an advantage. Given the depth of their relationship, Yichen would likely refrain from extreme cruelty toward her.
Lin Wan sat by the bedside inside the Blue Bay villa as Luo Ziyan meticulously applied medication to her wounds.
“Does it hurt?” Luo Ziyan inquired, feeling sympathy for the delicate woman before him.
These scars were the result of Yanxi’s actions. Understanding Yanxi’s temperament well, Luo Ziyan had anticipated Lin Wan’s predicament, yet he hadn’t expected it to occur so soon. He couldn’t help but wonder if more such instances might follow.
Lin Wan smiled and assured Luo Ziyan, “It doesn’t hurt.”
Even if it did, she couldn’t show her pain before him.
Luo Ziyan contemplated further questions but sensed Lin Wan’s low spirits. Considering her emotional state, he refrained from probing and focused solely on the medical procedure.
Upon Xiao Yichen’s return, he entered the bedroom and observed Luo Ziyan attending to Lin Wan. Xiao Yichen stood beside them, silently watching.
Luo Ziyan, feeling Xiao Yichen’s intense gaze, tactfully suggested, “Please sit over there. You’re disrupting my work.”
Xiao Yichen paid no heed to the comment. Not only did he stay put, but he also inched closer to Lin Wan and sat beside her.
He tenderly embraced her, inquiring with care, “Is it painful?”
Lin Wan offered no response. Her gaze remained fixed on a point before her, her voice silent.
Upon recognizing their interactions were amiss, Luo Ziyan discreetly shifted his focus to packing away his first aid supplies once he had applied the medication.
Xiao Yichen continued to regard Lin Wan for some time, realizing her reluctance to respond. Without further delay, he gently moved her to the center of the bed and encouraged her to lie down before tenderly draping a blanket over her.
“Would you like to rest for a while?” Xiao Yichen spoke gently, his tone always filled with tenderness, exclusively reserved for her.
Lin Wan remained silent and closed her eyes, choosing not to acknowledge Xiao Yichen or look into his eyes.
She feared her heart might race if she stared at him too long.
She loved him so deeply that no pain or scars could diminish her feelings.
Having observed Lin Wan close her eyes and doze off, Xiao Yichen left the bedroom.
Luo Ziyan followed him into the living room, where the atmosphere was strained.
Luo Ziyan inquired, “Why did Yanxi come to Blue Bay villa?”
Deeply appreciating his brother’s competence, he couldn’t help but wonder why Xiao Yichen hadn’t anticipated the need to safeguard Lin Wan immediately upon Yanxi’s return.
Xiao Yichen sighed and admitted. “It’s my fault.”
He confessed to prioritizing the need for Yanxi to hear the truth, not foreseeing that Yanxi would visit Blue Bay villa and, shockingly, harm the woman he loved.
Upon sensing his brother’s evident distress, Luo Ziyan couldn’t find it in himself to cast blame. He asked, “Did you reveal your relationship with Lin Wan to Yanxi?”
Luo Ziyan suspected that Yanxi might have discovered Xiao Yichen’s relationship with Lin Wan, prompting her visit to Blue Bay villa.
Xiao Yichen nodded in affirmation.
Upon understanding the situation, Luo Ziyan refrained from asking additional questions. Before departing, he warned, “Take good care of Lin Wan. Ensure she doesn’t get hurt again.”
As an onlooker, Luo Ziyan had known Yanxi for quite some time. However, he was not unfamiliar with Lin Wan and believed she was the most suitable person to accompany his brother..
