She rested her head on his chest, breathing in his familiar, clean scent, feeling utterly content.
As the flames grew larger, Leng Xunze spoke softly, "It's alright, wife. I'm here!"
"Mm."
Just as Wen Yan was about to pull away, a gentle tenderness flashed in Leng Xunze's eyes. He wrapped an arm around her waist, lifted her into his arms, and walked towards the exit.
Wen Yan, feeling a little overwhelmed, protested, "Husband, I can walk."
"Close your eyes, or they'll get irritated by the smoke."
Wen Yan's heart swelled with his tenderness at his words.
As Leng Xunze carried her near the door, she heard Yuan Jiamiao's voice from outside, "Xunze, are you alright?"
Leng Xunze nodded, scanning the surroundings. "Haven't you seen that woman?"
As he spoke, he gently set Wen Yan down.
Yuan Jiamiao shook his head. "She probably took a shortcut down the mountain. I've sent my people to search extensively; we should have news soon."
He then glanced at Wen Yan. "Miss Wen, I'm glad you're unharmed. Otherwise, Xunze would have turned the capital upside down."
"Find her quickly," Leng Xunze said in a low voice.
Wen Yan could feel his anxiety, and a wave of warmth washed over her.
She looked at Yuan Jiamiao. "Thank you, Young Master Yuan."
Yuan Jiamiao smiled. "If you want to thank someone, thank Xunze."
She nodded. Leng Xunze then asked, "Wife, how do you plan to deal with Wen Ya?"
"This time, I won't be soft-hearted anymore." Wen Ya had troubled her repeatedly, and this time, she would settle the score.
Leng Xunze agreed. "Let's deal with it once we find Wen Ya. We should head back first."
"Okay."
As Wen Yan followed Leng Xunze back towards the city, she saw him receive a phone call.
A few seconds later, Wen Yan asked, "Did you find Wen Ya?"
Leng Xunze nodded. "Yes, I've already had her taken to the villa."
"Good."
Half an hour later.
Wen Yan entered the hall to find Wen Ya tied to a chair with a blindfold.
The two bodyguards beside her greeted her, "Young Madam."
She nodded. Wen Ya, hearing her voice, immediately pleaded, "Sister, is that you? Please tell them to let me go."
Wen Yan sneered. "Wen Ya, have you become so good at acting that you even believe yourself now?"
"You've framed me and slandered me repeatedly. Do you think I'll let you off like before?"
Leng Xunze followed her in and sat on a nearby sofa.
He had intended to handle this himself, but since Yan Yan wanted to settle the score, he wouldn't interfere.
Upon hearing this, Wen Ya realized Wen Yan wouldn't fall for her act and dropped her pretense. "Wen Yan, if Father finds out I'm with you, what do you think will happen?"
Wen Yan's gaze turned cold. "Wen Ya, no one can save you today!"
With that, she instructed the two bodyguards, "You two, take her with me."
"Yes."
The two bodyguards approached Wen Ya, grabbed her, and led her out.
Wen Ya felt that Wen Yan wasn't joking and shouted, "Wen Yan, where are you taking me? If you dare do anything to me, my mother won't let you off! Let me go immediately."
Wen Yan showed no fear. "You should worry about yourself."
As they spoke, they had already gotten into the car, and it started moving.
Wen Ya completely panicked now. She quickly begged, "Sister, Wen Yan, please spare me one more time. I'll never dare again."
Wen Yan's expression was calm. Then, she remembered something and called Leng Xunze. "Husband, was Wen Ya the only one caught? Were her accomplices apprehended?"
Leng Xunze hummed. "I knew you'd need those people, so I had Jiamiao send them over first."
"Thank you." Wen Yan's face broke into a smile upon hearing this.
He had already arranged everything she hadn't even thought of.
Leng Xunze's lips curved slightly. "Call me if you need anything."
Wen Yan hummed. "I have something to tell you when I get back."
Leng Xunze paused, then nodded.
She hung up the phone. Wen Ya now realized exactly where Wen Yan was taking her, her face turning deathly pale. "Wen Yan, we're sisters, aren't we? Are you really going to send me there?"
"My mother only gave birth to me. I don't have a sister."
Hearing this, Wen Ya knew Wen Yan was determined not to let her go. Her eyes flickered, and she said, "I want to go home for a visit."
"Someone will watch you then."
Wen Yan knew what Wen Ya was thinking. As long as this big trouble, Wen Ya, was dealt with, she could handle whatever schemes that woman and Wen Shihao came up with.
An hour later.
After Wen Yan had dealt with Wen Ya's matter, she returned to the villa and received a call from Wen Shihao. "You sent your sister away?"
Wen Yan hummed.
Hearing this, Wen Shihao angrily exclaimed, "How can you be so vicious, sending your own sister away? Hurry up and get her out."
Wen Yan laughed instead of getting angry. "She hired people to kidnap me, tried to disfigure my face, and even tried to burn me to death. Do you think I'll let her off?"
"You're giving your sister a chance. After this lesson, she should learn her lesson. Besides, you weren't seriously injured, were you?" Wen Shihao's heart sank when he heard this and thought of the news of Wen's bankruptcy.
She had never believed Wen Ya would do such a thing.
Wen Yan found it ridiculous. "Are you saying I have to wait until Wen Ya disfigures my face before I can fight back?"
"If you won't help me, fine. But you're sending your own sister away now. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by outsiders?"
Wen Yan said, "If such a thing were to happen, I could handle it. But asking me to get Wen Ya out? Don't even think about it!"
With that, she hung up the phone.
Half an hour later.
As Wen Yan was about to head to the company, she received a call from Bai Quan. "Yan Yan, did you really send Wen Ya away?"
Wen Yan hummed. "How did you know?"
She hadn't told Bai Quan about this!
Then, she heard Bai Quan say, "The news is all over the internet now. Wen Ya actually kidnapped you. She really deserves it! Are you alright, though?"
She had found Wen Ya annoying for a long time.
Wen Yan smiled. "I'm fine. By the way, Quan Quan, how are you and Rong Beifeng? Are you planning to come back?"
"He's treating me well now, and I don't plan on returning anytime soon. It might be a while." Bai Quan's eyes sparkled with joy as she spoke of Rong Beifeng.
She knew how happy it felt to hear the man she had loved for years confess his love for her.
She had thought they would eventually go their separate ways, and she never expected them to get back together.
Wen Yan could hear the joy in Bai Quan's voice and was genuinely happy for her. "What are your plans?"
Bai Quan thought for a moment. "My parents are getting old, so we plan to move to the capital to live. It will be more convenient for my work."
Wen Yan smiled. "Then I'll wait for you in the capital."
They chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.
As she was about to leave, she received a call from Zhuo Feng. "CEO Wen, please come to the company quickly. Someone wants to see you and claims you've plagiarized their style."
