“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you at the law firm tomorrow,” affirmed the lawyer on the other end.

“Mm,” Xiao Yichen replied before ending the call.

Upon entering the bedroom, Xiao Yichen intended to take off his clothes and shower. However, as he emerged from the closet, Lin Wan emerged from the bathroom, freshly showered.

“Chen, go take your shower. I’ll dry my hair first,” Lin Wan directed Xiao Yichen.

“Alright,” Xiao Yichen agreed, though his mind was preoccupied.

He went into the bathroom for his shower. Twenty minutes later, he emerged to find Lin Wan already in bed. Xiao Yichen walked toward her.

Lin Wan wasn’t asleep. She was engrossed with her phone. Upon sensing Xiao Yichen’s approach, she instinctively made space for him.

Xiao Yichen joined Lin Wan, and their night continued.

Two hours later, Lin Wan feigned sleep, lying beside Xiao Yichen with closed eyes.

However, she was more alert than ever, grappling with emotions she couldn’t express to the man beside her.

He was her husband, her spouse, the person closest to her. She should have had mutual trust, openness, and honesty with him. At that time, she couldn’t do it.

The advantage of closing her eyes was that tears wouldn’t flow out. Even if she wanted to cry, she couldn’t let alone get Xiao Yichen’s attention.

Despite pretending to sleep, Xiao Yichen whispered tenderly in her ear, expressing his concern and affection for her.

“Wan’er, I didn’t push tonight because I see how tired you are, and it pains me.”

“But next time, you’ll have to make it up to me.”

“You belong to me, my Wan’er.”

With those words, Xiao Yichen held Lin Wan and dozed off, content and happy.

Once she sensed Xiao Yichen’s steady breathing, indicating he was asleep, Lin Wan opened her eyes.

She wanted to cry, but she didn’t dare to, not even to choke. Lin Wan could only endure silently like that, letting the vibrations in her heart calm down gradually.

For this man, she indeed had both love and hate.

Sometimes, Lin Wan felt she couldn’t discern her inner thoughts. It was a bit chaotic, but sometimes, she had some clues.

After letting her mind wander, Lin Wan decided not to think about it anymore and closed her eyes to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Lin Wan woke up feeling unwell.

Assuming her period was impending since Xiao Yichen hadn’t initiated anything that night, Lin Wan didn’t think much of it. After using the restroom, she drank water before returning to bed.

In a half-awake state, Xiao Yichen sensed Lin Wan’s absence and presumed she had gone to the washroom, feeling relieved when she returned.

“Why did you take so long?” Xiao Yichen inquired as Lin Wan settled back in bed.

“Oh, I was probably in a daze and lost track of time,” Lin Wan replied, uninterested in continuing the conversation.

“Let’s go back to sleep.”

“Sure. Let’s sleep together,” Xiao Yichen responded, moving closer to Lin Wan.

As long as she was by his side, everything seemed tranquil for him.

The following day, when the alarm went off, Xiao Yichen and Lin Wan stirred.

After turning off the alarm, Xiao Yichen gently spoke to the woman in his embrace, “Be good and catch a little more sleep..”
