Chapitre 186: You're the First Person

Xu Yanxi's voice carried a hint of gentleness and allure.

Xiao Yichen, however, remained unmoved by Xu Yanxi's words. The image of Lin Wan consumed his thoughts.

"Yanxi…" Xiao Yichen exerted some force to gently pull Xu Yanxi away from him, creating a distance between them.

He looked at Xu Yanxi's face seriously, his tone softening slightly as he said, "I treat you well, care for you, and love you, but it doesn't mean I want to possess you."

Upon hearing Xiao Yichen's words, Xu Yanxi couldn't quite grasp their meaning.

Chen loves me. I've witnessed his care for me, but he… doesn't want to possess me? Why?

"Chen, I…" Xiao Yichen interrupted Xu Yanxi's words.

"Get some rest. I'll be on my way." Xiao Yichen released Xu Yanxi's arm and briskly headed for the door.

Xu Yanxi watched him depart, her mind filled with speculations.

Is there another woman in Chen's life? Or has our distance grown over the years of separation?
