Xiao Yichen’s heart skipped a beat, yet his footsteps remained resolute, carrying him forward.

“Yichen, I need to talk to you.” Lin Wan positioned herself in front of Xiao Yichen, obstructing his path.

Coming to a halt, Xiao Yichen gazed at Lin Wan’s petite face. After five years, she remained remarkably beautiful, even without makeup.

“Talk?” Xiao Yichen echoed, a question lacing his words.

“Yes,” Lin Wan affirmed, quickly adding, “Did you give the order to restrict Elite Jewelry from entering major shopping malls?”

Though she was 90% certain, she sought confirmation from him directly.

“Yes,” Xiao Yichen responded in a cold tone. “Ancheng City doesn’t welcome Elite Jewelry.”

D*mn, he won’t let her have a comfortable life.

A shiver ran down Lin Wan’s body at his reply, prompting her to step back.

Upon witnessing her trembling form, a sense of panic surged within Xiao Yichen.

She seemed so frail like she might collapse with the slightest breeze. Has she not eaten during the past five years?

Upon trying to steady herself, Lin Wan looked at Xiao Yichen and asked, “Can you reconsider Elite Jewelry’s restriction?”

“No,” Xiao Yichen answered almost immediately. He was prepared to push Lin Wan away and depart.

However, as he began to raise his hand, Xiao Yichen caught Lin Wan’s words.

“Then, what can I do for you to lift the restrictions on Elite Jewelry?” Lin Wan questioned Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen’s hand paused mid-air. He stared at the woman before him, his emotions in turmoil. Despite the chaos within, his words conveyed a steadfast decision. “Regardless, I won’t lift the restrictions.”

“Can’t I plead with you?” Lin Wan persisted. Anxious, her eyes threatened to turn red.

Xiao Yichen, who prevented Elite Jewelry from entering the mall because of her. She couldn’t let the entire company suffer due to her vendetta. Bernard had been good to her, and her colleagues were supportive. Elite Jewelry was akin to a second home, filled with the care and assistance of her friends. She realized his dream within those walls. Now that Elite Jewelry faced difficulties, she couldn’t simply turn a blind eye.

Xiao Yichen locked eyes with Lin Wan, his expression growing even angrier. Pleading with me? Did I permit it?

No, she is my woman. I don’t need her to plead with anyone, including myself.

Xiao Yichen abruptly cut off Lin Wan as he started to say, “Yichen, I…”

“Shut up,” Xiao Yichen nearly shouted, the anger etched on his face. “Even if you beg me, I won’t lift your restrictions.”

He would never allow her to beg him.

Xiao Yichen lowered his hand and walked past Lin Wan toward his car.

Lin Wan stood frozen, a sense of helplessness enveloping her. Tears threatened to fall.

His mind grew increasingly chaotic. She couldn’t fathom what he had just said. Is he targeting Elite Jewelry to get revenge and hurt me? So why does he refuse to grant a simple request?

Upon hearing the roar of a car speeding away, Lin Wan raised her head to see the flashy sports car disappearing.

Xiao Yichen drove until Lin Wan was out of sight in the rearview mirror. Only then did he gradually regain composure.

At that moment, Xiao Yichen’s eyes were tinged with red. Her recent appearance haunted his heart and mind.

Why would he allow her to plead with him? He loathed her. Why did she leave with Lu Hao five years ago? In what position did she leave him, her husband? How could she run away with another man?

Yet, even so, the love in his heart for her was more than a little!
