My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 569: Riverbank Ambush

Lin Wanxi locked herself in her room and hasn't eaten all day.

Mo Ying, as the personal female bodyguard, has been silently safeguarding Lin Wanxi's safety.

But there's nothing she can do when Lin Wanxi refuses to eat.

"Miss Lin, you should at least eat a little."

"If you ruin your health, I won't be able to explain to Brother Chen."

Mo Ying gently advised.

Lin Wanxi waved her hand, "I have no appetite; let me be alone quietly. You can leave first."

Alas.

Mo Ying sighed helplessly and quietly exited the room, heading downstairs.

Chen Xuan was sitting on the steps smoking, and upon seeing Mo Ying approach, he asked, "Wanxi still won't eat?"

"Yes, Miss Lin said she has no appetite."

Mo Ying spread her hands, "Brother Chen, I just don't understand why she insists on torturing herself like this."

Chen Xuan smiled bitterly, "Mo Ying, have you ever been in love?"

"No, and I don't have the inclination for it either." Mo Ying shook her head.

Chen Xuan flicked the ash off his cigarette, "That's why you don't understand the matters of emotion between men and women, and thus can't comprehend."

Mo Ying sat beside Chen Xuan, speaking with a hint of grievance, "Isn't it because of Yang Leshan? Why make it so complicated and indirectly torture herself?"

Chen Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile, "Relationship issues are inherently complex, difficult to explain and unclear."

"Alright, but regardless, one must eat during mealtime."

Mo Ying wore a helpless look, "Miss Lin won't eat or drink and just locks herself in the room. I'm out of options."

"Let's wait until it's dark." Chen Xuan pondered, hoping Lin Wanxi could work things out by herself.

An hour later, Lin Wanxi voluntarily walked out of her room and downstairs.

"Chen Xuan, come out with me for a moment."

"Alright."

Chen Xuan immediately stood up.

"Mo Ying, you don't need to follow. I'll go out alone with Chen Xuan to talk."

Lin Wanxi deliberately glanced at Mo Ying.

The two got in the car and left, with Mo Ying shaking her head helplessly, having no choice but to wait at home for their return.

"Wanxi, where do you want to go?" Chen Xuan inquired.

Lin Wanxi sat in the passenger seat, her hand on her forehead, "Let's go for a walk by the river."

Chen Xuan said no more and drove towards the riverbank.

A major river separated the two cities.

The southern bank was Jiangnan City, and the northern bank, where they were, belonged to Jiangbei City.

Chen Xuan drove along the riverbank road, slowly moving forward. As long as Lin Wanxi didn't call to stop, he kept driving.

After traveling a distance, they arrived at the outskirts.

"Wanxi, are we still going forward?" Chen Xuan asked with a dry smile.

Lin Wanxi finally regained her senses, "Let's stop here and accompany me for a walk."

Chen Xuan promptly parked by the side, and the two stood by the shore, facing the slightly humid cool breeze.

They walked slowly forward, without saying a word.

At this moment.

Wang Bin quietly followed them by car, keeping a distance.

Taking out his cell phone, he called Shen Zihao, "Young master, Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi have come to the riverbank. There are few people here, an ideal spot to strike!"

Shen Zihao's eyes lit up, "Haha, Chen Xuan deserves to die, walking straight into the gates of hell!"

Beside him, Qian Yuntian hurriedly said, "Young master Shen, only kill Chen Xuan; you must keep Lin Wanxi for me."

Oh?

Shen Zihao gave Qian Yuntian a meaningful look, "No problem, certainly making sure Young Master Qian gets his wish."

With a disdainful smile inwardly, after eliminating Chen Xuan and bringing Lin Wanxi back, Qian Yuntian would be irrelevant.

Both Lin Wanxi and Yang Leshan are top beauties; he wanted them all!

"Mr. Celestial Wolf, it's up to you next." Shen Zihao smiled faintly at a bearded man.

This person was the leader of the Celestial Wolf Assassination Squad, codenamed Celestial Wolf.

"It's a small matter!" Celestial Wolf sneered, "Set off, execute the hunt!"

Accompanied by the Celestial Wolf Assassination Squad, they quickly headed to the north bank of the river in Jiangbei City.

And as Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi walked along the riverbank, they were unaware that danger was closing in on them.

The two continued strolling along the bank, neither speaking.

The sun was about to set, leaving only the last glimmer of twilight.

Lin Wanxi recalled the journey the two had taken, with too many memories that were hard to part with.

Finally, she came to a halt and slowly spoke, "Chen Xuan, I really want to persuade myself to keep walking with you."

"But after much thought, I still feel being with you isn't suitable. The half-year agreement we made is almost up; it's time to make a decision."

Chen Xuan was taken aback, "Wanxi, is it because of Yang Leshan that you're having these thoughts again?"

Lin Wanxi didn't deny it, "I don't think my actions are selfish, but ultimately it hurt Shanshan, leading her down a path of no return."

"Perhaps only my departure can accomplish more for others! You can save Shanshan without any worries, freeing her from misery."

Chen Xuan shook his head, "I disagree!"

Seeing that they were about to argue again, Lin Wanxi proposed, "Why don't we leave it to fate with a coin toss?"

"If it's heads, we continue as a couple. If it's tails, I can only step back for you and Shanshan."

Despite his heartache, Chen Xuan chose to respect Lin Wanxi's decision.

A coin was tossed into the air, rapidly spinning.

The two simultaneously looked up at the coin, a decision of destiny.

At this moment, Celestial Wolf had already set up the sniper rifle, aiming at Chen Xuan.

"Little friend, you're about to bid this world farewell!"

Celestial Wolf's lips curved into a playful, sinister smile, his finger lightly resting on the trigger...
