“Is Yichen in the office?” Xu Yanxi paid no mind to You Luan’s bewildered state and inquired.

“Yes, he is,” You Luan replied calmly, his thoughts still caught up in trying to identify her.

A smile graced Xu Yanxi’s face as she approached the CEO’s office.

Upon reaching the door, Xu Yanxi didn’t bother to knock. She pushed the door open and entered.

Xiao Yichen was engrossed in reviewing documents. The sound of the opening door caught him by surprise, and a hint of annoyance rose. Who dares to barge in without knocking?

However, as Xiao Yichen’s eyes fell upon the person before him, even without fully seeing her face, he knew who she was.

“Yanxi?” Xiao Yichen called out.

“Chen…” Xu Yanxi uttered affectionately and immediately approached Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen stood up, his surprise evident in his expression.

She… How…

When does she return?

Xu Yanxi drew closer to Xiao Yichen, gazing affectionately at him for a while. Then, she extended her arms and threw herself into his embrace, holding him tightly.

“Chen, I’ve missed you. 1 missed you,” Xu Yanxi expressed emotionally.

Xiao Yichen stood still, not reciprocating her embrace. He allowed Xu Yanxi to hug him but did not reach out to hug her in return.

After some time, Xu Yanxi released her hold on Xiao Yichen and thoughtfully regarded his handsome face.

“Chen…” Xu Yanxi murmured, standing on her tiptoes, poised to kiss him.

Xiao Yichen realized her intentions, and just as Xu Yanxi’s lips were about to meet his, he leaned back and turned his face away, avoiding her kiss.

But 1 am the woman closest to his heart, and he is the person 1 love most. Why would he… want to distance himself from me?

“Yanxi,” Xiao Yichen called out. He reached out and gently held her arm, moving her a short distance away. They locked eyes.

“When did you come back?” Xiao Yichen inquired. Her sudden and unexpected return, and he hadn’t been prepared for it.

“An hour ago,” Xu Yanxi replied, sadness lingering in her heart. “My father sent me here.”

“Okay,” Xiao Yichen replied.

Xu Yanxi removed her sunglasses, finally allowing Xiao Yichen to see her face.

She had become even more beautiful and had acquired an added air of elegance.

Despite acknowledging her beauty, Xiao Yichen remained unmoved.

“Are you hungry?” Xiao Yichen asked. It was nearly noon. “Shall we go grab a bite to eat?”

“Sure.” Xu Yanxi nodded with delight. As long as she was with Yichen, she felt content no matter what they did.

Xu Yanxi’s prior sorrow gradually transformed into happiness at sharing a meal with him.

Xiao Yichen and Xu Yanxi exited the office and descended to the ground floor.

Only then did You Luan recollect that the woman was Miss Xu.

Upon observing his boss and Miss Xu departing together, You Luan grew increasingly concerned. With Miss Xu’s return, what about Madam…?

As Xiao Yichen and Xu Yanxi passed through the first-floor lobby, she suddenly grasped Xiao Yichen’s arm and leaned against him..
