章 299: Enough is Enough

"Ziyan." Xiao Yichen's voice cut through the air, carrying a noticeable edge of displeasure. Despite his clear annoyance, he maintained a stoic expression, mindful that they were best friends.

Luo Ziyan refrained from uttering the last few words, realizing that pushing the matter further might lead to a quarrel with Xiao Yichen. He gazed at Xiao Yichen, understanding his temperament but unwilling to back down. Luo Ziyan persisted, "Yichen, I speak the truth. There was never any genuine affection between you and Bai Lu. If not for her endorsement of that necklace five years ago, you wouldn't have maintained such closeness with her all these years."

Xiao Yichen fixed his gaze on Luo Ziyan, warning, "If you mention her name again, I won't let you off."

After being reminded of her by his mother and Ziyan, thoughts of that woman dominated his mind once more.

Luo Ziyan hesitated to say more, knowing that Xiao Yichen was angered.
