At the sound of the sharp scream, everyone's gaze shifted from Mu Lingqian and Wen Xiangyang to behind them. Yan Xin followed the direction everyone was looking and saw a woman in a light blue dress standing by the large front gate not far away. The woman was staring intently at Mu Lingqian and Wen Xiangyang.
Desperation was etched in her eyes.
Xiao Lan...
Yan Xin instinctively moved a step forward. However, as she looked at Wen Xiangyang, who was also startled by Li Lanxi's scream, she tensed her fists, then halted her steps.
"Ah——!"
The screams from Li Lanxi continued, echoing with a desperate despair, as if her world had entirely collapsed. Like a madwoman, she grabbed her own hair, staring in the direction of Mu Lingqian and Wen Xiangyang.
As Mu Lingqian heard Li Lanxi's scream, he released Wen Xiangyang's lips but held her hand tighter. Proceeding to pull Wen Xiangyang into his arms and holding her tightly, he let go and said, "Wait for me to return."
