In the director’s office at the Commerce Department, Lin Wan engaged in a 20-minute discussion with the director, presenting her proposals earnestly. However, the director swiftly dismissed all her suggestions.

“Mr. Wang, our company is genuinely eager to collaborate with yours,” Lin Wan hastily intervened, hoping to salvage the opportunity.

Upon contemplating for a moment, the director revealed the truth. “Miss Lin, your company’s terms are indeed commendable. Elite Jewelry’s brand positively influences the industry, but…”

A pause ensued, and he observed Lin Wan’s surprised expression. He continued, “Miss Lin, did you happen to see Mr. Xiao earlier? We are about to embark on a significant collaboration with him.”

Lin Wan was momentarily stunned before comprehension dawned. This modeling agency refrained from partnering with Elite Jewelry due to Xiao Yichen.

While Lin Wan acknowledged Xiao Yichen’s influence in Ancheng City, experiencing it firsthand was different.

Now, she could genuinely perceive its impact in various aspects!

Upon choosing not to press further, Lin Wan bid farewell to the director and exited his office. Waiting outside, she encountered You Luan.

“Madam.” You Luan greeted her softly.

“You Luan, there’s no need to address me like that,” Lin Wan replied gently. “I’m not Mrs. Xiao. Just call me Lin Wan.”

Smiling at her request, You Luan refrained from continuing and redirected the conversation. “Mr. Xiao is waiting for you in the reception room. Please follow me there.”

Upon considering You Luan’s suggestion, Lin Wan decided to proceed. She wanted to engage in a conversation with Xiao Yichen. How long would he persist in targeting her?

In the reception room, Lin Wan found Xiao Yichen seated. Approaching him directly, she stood before him and asked, “Xiao Yichen, what exactly do you want?”

“Nothing,” Xiao Yichen responded calmly. He picked up a cup of tea from the small table before him, took a sip, and leisurely placed it back. Then, he continued, “I just don’t want things to be too easy for you.”

Five years ago, Lin Wan had expressed her desire to resign. Xiao Yichen had granted her freedom, anticipating she would lead a pampered life at home. Little did he know, this was her plan before leaving.

Frustrated, he realized that she had contemplated leaving the jewelry company five years ago. So now, he aimed to complicate her professional life in the industry. He intended to demonstrate the cost of playing with him!

Yet, in her presence, uncertainty clouded his thoughts. Even his intentions remained unpredictable, subject to change in the next moment.

Upon hearing Xiao Yichen’s words, Lin Wan’s heart ached instantly, and tears began growing.

Not letting me have an easy time? When have I had an easy time in the past five years? Caring for Ranran and grappling with guilt, I had never truly found peace.

Upon suppressing her emotions, Lin Wan took a deep breath, attempting to conceal the turmoil. She met Xiao Yichen’s gaze and said, “Yichen, consider it a plea from me to spare Elite Jewelry, okay?”

“Beg me?” Xiao Yichen grew agitated, swiftly standing up and advancing toward Lin Wan. He stared directly into her eyes and demanded, “What do you have to offer in exchange?”

Upon meeting his intense gaze, Lin Wan bit her lip. After a prolonged silence, she said, “Name it. I’ll agree as long as it’s within my power to give.”

“Come back,” Xiao Yichen asserted firmly. His gaze pleaded with her, and he implored, “Come back to me. Return to our home..”
