"No," Lin Wan replied to Su Xiaorong. Her back had been turned towards her friend, but she turned around now.
"Could we chat for a bit?" Su Xiaorong asked, hoping to keep her friend company and offer comfort in her unhappiness.
"Okay."
…
The next morning, Su Xiaorong and Lin Wan, who hadn't gotten much sleep, looked weary.
Lin Wan applied makeup to hide her dark circles, and the two had a simple breakfast of bread and milk. Afterwards, they headed downstairs to go to work.
As they left the apartment, Lin Wan stopped upon spotting a car not far away.
She wondered why he was still here. Hadn't he left all night?
Initially, Su Xiaorong couldn't comprehend the reason for Lin Wan's abrupt stop. But as she followed her friend's gaze, she vaguely discerned a man in a car not far off.
Xiao Yichen was a public figure, and she was aware of him from seeing his face in major news publications now and then.
