My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 695 - 677: Difficulty Breathing

For some reason, Lin Yixun suddenly felt the air around her getting thin, making it hard for her to breathe.

"I need to get some fresh air."

She put down her wine glass and, without waiting for Shen Xu’s response, started walking towards the entrance of the banquet hall. Seeing her uneasy expression, Shen Xu wanted to follow her, but after just a few steps, he was surrounded by a group of people.

"President Shen, so you are here. I heard your company’s newly developed game software is a huge success. Congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Shen Xu responded absentmindedly, his eyes fixed on Shi Yi’s receding figure.

Shi Yi was summoned by him, and he didn’t feel at ease seeing a visibly pregnant woman leave alone.

"I’m sorry, excuse me for a moment."

Shen Xu dodged a certain company’s president who was approaching to engage in small talk and headed straight for the hall entrance. But when he stepped out of the banquet hall, the corridor was deserted.

"Damn it, where did she go?"

Worried and frustrated, Shen Xu pulled out his phone and made a call, but the ringtone came from his suit pants pocket.

He then remembered that Shi Yi didn’t bring her handbag when she left and had temporarily put her phone with him.

He had no choice but to return to the banquet hall, quietly reassuring himself that she was an adult and nothing should go wrong.

Besides, even if Shi Yi was heartbroken, she wouldn’t do anything foolish. She was just a person who worried unnecessarily.

With this in mind, Shen Xu felt a bit more at ease. However, upon returning to the banquet hall, he inadvertently noticed that Leng Yixiu and the girl he brought along were nowhere to be seen, despite being the center of attention earlier.

In fact, after leaving the banquet hall, Lin Yixun went to the hotel’s rooftop. She had stayed at this hotel before; the rooftop had a garden with a unique layout, and the air was fresher up there, hence she went there.

The wind on the rooftop was strong and a bit cold. Lin Yixun sat on the wooden bench for quite a while, finally managing to catch her breath. However, her mind kept replaying the scene of that girl holding onto Leng Yixiu’s arm tightly and her crisp voice saying, "I am his girlfriend!"

Lin Yixun slowly stretched out her hand to her heart, wondering why it hurt faintly.

A sudden answer flashed in her mind, making her soul tremble uncontrollably.

She closed her eyes abruptly, taking a deep breath. Lin Yixun, Lin Yixun, have you forgotten everything that happened just because someone once gave you a few candies?

Lin Yixun, you hate him, you have to hate him for a lifetime.

She continuously reminded herself, reminding herself not to forget the past. She couldn’t let her parents die with unfulfilled grievances underground, and she couldn’t let Xing Yi die in vain.

At that moment, a cheerful voice suddenly came from the rooftop entrance. Perhaps it was a sixth sense, but the first image that flashed in Lin Yixun’s mind was a doll-like little face. Sure enough, the next moment she heard a familiar voice.

"Wanwan, stop fooling around."

She naturally recognized the familiar voice and unique tone of the man. His tone, though helpless, was imbued with indulgence. That soft "Wanwan" was even more tender and lingering in Lin Yixun’s ears. If earlier, in front of people, Lin Yixun could still persuade herself that they were just playing along, what about now?

For some reason, Lin Yixun didn’t want them to see her there. So her body moved before she could think, and she quickly hid behind a potted plant.
