Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Xu Yanxi finished speaking, she focused on Xiao Yichen, refusing to avert her eyes.
This ti, Xiao Yichen didn’t respond imdiately. After a mont’s contemplation, he acknowledged that he had made such a promise.
“Chen.” Xu Yanxi’s tone suddenly shifted, resembling soone on the brink of tears. She assud a sad deanor and said, “You didn’t treat like this before. You used to be so caring, always considering my feelings. But now… you’ve beco so heartless!”
With these words, Xu Yanxi couldn’t hold back her tears and began to cry right before Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen, in the face of Xu Yanxi’s tears, felt distressed. He didn’t know how to react and beca utterly helpless.
“Alright, stop crying.” Ultimately, Xu Yanxi managed to win over Xiao Yichen with her tears. He gazed at the tearful Xu Yanxi and said in a sowhat chilly tone, “1’11 co the day after tomorrow. What ti and where should 1 be?”
“Eight o’clock, at the garden of my villa,” Xu Yanxi responded promptly, the tears vanishing, replaced by a grin on her face.
This tactic seed genuinely effective. In her youth, she would cry in front of Yichen and feign grievance when she couldn’t get what she wanted, and back then, Yichen always acquiesced to her wishes. Little did she expect that the tactic still held its power.
If necessary, in the future, she would employ this thod. She didn’t mind the ans as long as it secured her Yichen and achieved her aims.
“Got it,” Xiao Yichen said.
Afterwards, the two engaged in a brief chat. By using the excuse of being swamped with work, Xiao Yichen eventually managed to persuade Xu Yanxi to depart. He called for the front desk staff and escorted Xu Yanxi out of the East Mansion.
You Luan entered once Xu Yanxi was gone, holding a docunt to report on his duties.
After presenting his report, You Luan lingered for a mont.
“Anything else?” Xiao Yichen inquired.
You Luan nodded and said, “Yes.” He continued, “Mr. Xiao, the company is now abuzz with the rumor that Miss Xu… is your… fiancee.”
You Luan shared all the rumors circulating among the company colleagues with his boss, and he also relayed what Xu Yanxi had said in the first-floor lobby, as heard from his coworkers.
After listening to it all, Xiao Yichen suddenly beca incensed but couldn’t devise a strategy imdiately.
Lin Wan wanted a secret marriage, and he couldn’t reveal her true identity. They needed a reason to quell this public opinion that the public would unanimously accept.
Xiao Yichen pondered long before telling You Luan, “Spread that Yanxi and I are rely close childhood friends. She’s more like a sister to , and 1 have no romantic feelings for her.”
“Understood,” You Luan acknowledged, leaving the CEO’s office to carry out his tasks.
In the afternoon, Lin Wan completed her work at around 3 o’clock. She took a break in the pantry, having a glass of water and preparing a cup of instant coffee.
As she sat in the pantry with her coffee, Lin Wan decided to check the news on her phone.
A particular topic caught her attention. It was about Xiao Yichen’s supposed fiancee that had made headlines today.
After reading the article, Lin Wan realized that Xu Yanxi had made a dramatic entrance at the East Mansion earlier, announcing herself as Xiao Yichen’s fiancee to the employees.
A soft chuckle escaped Lin Wan’s lips, and her eyes turned slightly misty.
While she had been engrossed in her work all morning, Xiao Yichen was parading his affection in the company with his “fiancee.”
She couldn’t believe it. She marveled at how much effort and pretense he must have put into it to demonstrate that he had never felt such emotions for her..
