Lin Wan experienced a brief moment of astonishment, yet her expression remained composed. She replied, "He's still in France. He'll be back later."
Xiao Yichen, unable to contain his emotions, lost control. The hand that gripped Lin Wan's chin swiftly shifted, wrapping around her neck with intensity.
"Oh, Xiao Yichen," Lin Wan gasped uncomfortably.
Her weakened body struggled to draw breath, and dizziness clouded her senses.
Upon observing Lin Wan's pained and desperate expression, Xiao Yichen's grip gradually eased, though he didn't release her entirely. He continued to hold onto her neck.
Lin Wan, fighting to breathe, mustered enough strength to look at Xiao Yichen and said, "Xiao Yichen, I left you five years ago. I didn't want to come back this time…"
Before Lin Wan could finish her sentence, Xiao Yichen's face loomed closer.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yichen sealed her lips with a forceful kiss before Lin Wan could react.
