It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Hidden Crisis

Nanny Wang's words were like a thunderbolt, shattering the fortress of peace of mind Wu Xinyan had just built. She hurried over and snatched the envelope, a familiar manila envelope with no signature or address.

She tore it open with trembling hands, but what came into view was not the vicious curses from last time, but a series of secretly taken photos. In the photos, she was walking in the garden with her pregnant belly, she and Luo Yichen were dining in a restaurant, and even a picture of her resting in the bedroom, taken through the gap in the curtains.

Each photo accurately captured her daily life, like a pair of invisible eyes, peeping into her life day and night, making her shudder. At the end of the envelope, there was a line of blood-red handwriting: **"Enjoy the last bit of peace, soon you will lose everything!"**

Wu Xinyan's face turned pale, and the photo slipped from her hand weakly and scattered all over the floor. Fear quickly wrapped around her heart like a vine, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"What's wrong? What's this mess again?" Luo Yichen rushed over upon hearing the noise. Seeing Wu Xinyan's strange behavior, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He picked up the photo on the ground, his face suddenly darkening.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you and the child." He hugged Wu Xinyan tightly in his arms, his tone firm and gentle.

Luo Yichen immediately called to strengthen the villa's security measures and sent more bodyguards around the villa to patrol around the clock. At the same time, he used all his connections to investigate the source of the anonymous letter.

However, all this could not alleviate Wu Xinyan's inner fear. Those photos and threats were like lingering nightmares, making her unable to sleep or eat.

"Xinyan, don't worry, everything will be fine." Luo Yichen felt distressed as he looked at his wife who was getting thinner and thinner.

"Yi Chen, tell me, could it be that my appearance has brought you bad luck?" Wu Xinyan's voice trembled, her eyes filled with anxiety and self-blame.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Luo Yichen interrupted her, "This is just the beginning. I will find the mastermind behind this and make him pay the price!"

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. Luo Yichen picked up the phone and his expression gradually became solemn.

"What did you say? Are you sure?" He hung up the phone, a cold light flashing in his deep eyes, "Xinyan, it seems that we underestimated the power of this mastermind..."

Luo Yichen hung up the phone, and his heavy expression made Wu Xinyan's heart clench. "Who is it? Did you find out anything?" She grabbed Luo Yichen's arm and asked anxiously.

"It's okay," Luo Yichen avoided her gaze and forced a comforting smile, "It's just some company matters, don't worry."

The more he said this, the more worried Wu Xinyan became. These past few days, Luo Yichen had been making mysterious phone calls and answering them, his expression a bit more gloomy than usual. She knew he was hiding something from her, and it was likely related to her.

"Xinyan, what's wrong with you? You look so bad." Zhao's best friend rushed over after receiving Wu Xinyan's call. Seeing her pale face and bloodshot eyes, she felt distressed. "Did those photos scare you again? Don't be afraid, I'm moving in with you today. We sisters can face this together!"

The arrival of Zhao's best friend somewhat dispelled the haze that had enveloped Wu Xinyan's heart. She held Zhao's best friend's hand tightly, as if grasping the last straw, "Thank you, I'm glad to have you here."

"Silly girl, we are best sisters!" Zhao's best friend patted her shoulder gently, her eyes slightly red.

Luo Yichen watched the scene with mixed feelings. He knew he should be honest and tell Wu Xinyan the truth, but he was afraid that she would be even more worried and scared after knowing it.

"I still have something to do at the company, so I'll go there first and come back to accompany you in the evening." Luo Yichen leaned over and kissed Wu Xinyan lightly on the forehead, then turned and left the villa.

Watching Luo Yichen's car disappear from sight, Wu Xinyan's heart seemed to be hollowed out.

"He must be hiding something from you." Zhao's best friend said firmly, looking at Wu Xinyan's lost expression.

Wu Xinyan smiled bitterly, "I know, but if he doesn't tell me, there's nothing I can do."

"Xinyan, you can't just sit there and wait for death!" Zhao's best friend held her hand and said firmly, "You have to cheer up, find out who is behind this, and protect yourself and your child!"

Zhao's best friend's words were like a revelation, waking Wu Xinyan up suddenly. Yes, she couldn't continue to be depressed like this. She had to face it bravely, for herself and for her child!

However, at this moment, the doorbell of the villa suddenly rang, and the servant ran in in a panic, "Madam, Director Lin is here and wants to see you."

Director Lin is a veteran of the Luo Group and has always been at odds with Luo Yichen. Why would he suddenly visit at this time? Wu Xinyan had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Let him in." Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

Director Lin walked into the living room, his sharp eyes swept over Wu Xinyan, and a hint of an ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Mrs. Luo, how are you?"

"Director Lin, is there anything that brings you here today?" Wu Xinyan asked calmly.

"It's nothing serious. There have been some rumors in the company recently. It's said that Mrs. Luo..." Director Lin paused, his tone meaningful, "You seem a little restless."

His words were like a stone that broke the originally calm surface of the lake, and Wu Xinyan's heart instantly sank to the bottom...

"Director Lin, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want." Wu Xinyan suppressed her anger and said in a cold tone, "I don't know what you mean."

"Mrs. Luo, why are you so angry? I'm just kindly reminding you," Director Lin walked slowly to the sofa, sat down, and crossed his legs. "The position of a wealthy wife isn't easy to hold. Some people appear to be so glorious on the surface, but who knows how many shameful things they've done behind the scenes..."

"Director Lin, please speak with some respect!" Zhao's best friend couldn't stand it any longer and stood up and shouted angrily, "If you have any evidence, show it. Otherwise, it's defamation!"

"Evidence?" Director Lin sneered, took out an envelope from his pocket and threw it on the coffee table, "See for yourself!"

Wu Xinyan picked up the envelope, opened it, and her face turned pale. Inside the envelope were several photos of her and her college classmates. The photos were taken at very tricky angles and looked very ambiguous.

"I had someone get these photos from your college classmates," Director Lin said, looking at Wu Xinyan's panicked expression, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. "Mrs. Luo, do you have anything else to say?"

"These photos don't mean anything," Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. "They and I are just ordinary classmates."

"Ordinary classmates? Then how do you explain your secret meeting with them in the hotel?" Director Lin pressed on, his tone filled with sarcasm. "Mrs. Luo, do you really think we are fools?"

"You..." Wu Xinyan was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she was unable to refute.

"That's enough!" Zhao's best friend snatched the photo and tore it to pieces. "Director Lin, don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just want to take this opportunity to slander Xinyan and destroy her relationship with Yichen so you can profit from it!"

"Ms. Zhao, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want," Director Lin said, narrowing his eyes and speaking dangerously. "I advise you to mind your own business."

"I'm determined to intervene!" Zhao's best friend met his gaze fearlessly. "Do you think no one knows about the dirty things you've done? I'm telling you, I've already had someone investigate you, and there will be results soon!"

Director Lin's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "We are a company that is upright and not afraid of your investigation. But Mrs. Luo, you'd better take care of yourself. Otherwise, you might end up dying without knowing how!"

After saying that, he stood up and left.

"Xinyan, don't listen to his nonsense. He is just trying to scare you!" Zhao's best friend comforted the pale Wu Xinyan, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"I know," Wu Xinyan took a deep breath, her eyes gradually becoming firm. "I can't just sit there and wait for death. I have to find out who's behind this and protect myself and my child!"

At the same time, Luo Yichen was also investigating the source of the anonymous letter. He used all his connections and finally found out that the anonymous letter was sent from a company that had close ties with Director Lin.

"Director Lin, it seems you really want to go against me!" Luo Yichen put down the information in his hand, a cold light flashing in his eyes...

"Xinyan, let me accompany you to the mall today to relax." Zhao's best friend suggested.

"Okay." Wu Xinyan nodded. She really needed to go out for a walk and relax.

The two walked out of the villa, got in the car, and drove towards the mall... On a sunny afternoon, the bustling commercial street was bustling with people. Wu Xinyan and her bestie Zhao strolled in front of the dazzling windows, trying hard to put the gloom behind them.

"Xinyan, what do you think of this necklace? It suits your temperament very well!" Zhao's best friend pointed to a diamond necklace displayed in the window of a jewelry store, trying to attract Wu Xinyan's attention.

Wu Xinyan forced a smile and was about to speak when suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and then a black car rushed towards them out of control!

"Be careful!" Zhao's best friend exclaimed and suddenly threw Wu Xinyan to the ground.

The harsh sound of brakes and the screams of the crowd intertwined into a chaos in Wu Xinyan's ears. She felt dizzy and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Xinyan! How are you?" Zhao's best friend's anxious voice came. Wu Xinyan struggled to get up, but found that she could not move.

"Don't move, you might have sprained your ankle." A low and familiar voice sounded above her head. Wu Xinyan looked up suddenly and met Luo Yichen's anxious and worried eyes.

"Yi Chen..." The moment she saw Luo Yi Chen, Wu Xinyan's tense nerves finally relaxed, and tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.

Luo Yichen carefully picked up Wu Xinyan and took her to the hospital. After examination, fortunately, it was only a minor sprain and nothing serious.

"Fortunately, you are okay, otherwise..." Luo Yichen held Wu Xinyan's hand, with a hint of fear in his tone.

Wu Xinyan held his hand in hers and said softly, "I'm fine. I'm sorry to have made you worry."

At this time, Luo Yichen's cell phone rang. He answered the call and his face gradually became gloomy.

"I understand." After hanging up the phone, Luo Yichen's eyes became incomparably firm. "Xinyan, I've already checked it out. This 'accident' was arranged by Director Lin. He has already stopped at nothing to achieve his goal!"

Wu Xinyan was shocked when she heard this, but she quickly regained her composure. She knew that escape was not a solution. Only by facing it bravely could she protect herself and her child.

"Yi Chen, we can't just sit there and wait for death anymore, we have to fight back!" Wu Xinyan's eyes were firm and resolute.

Luo Yichen nodded, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. "I have decided to publicly expose Director Lin's true face at tomorrow's board meeting and make him pay for his actions!"

As night fell, a storm was about to break out. Luo Yichen made a phone call, "Lawyer Sun, I need you..."
