Startled, Lin Wan swiftly closed the book, clutching it tightly as she turned towards the door.
Seeing that it was Xiao Yichen, Lin Wan's fear gradually subsided.
"I-I'm reading," Lin Wan stammered, not anticipating Xiao Yichen's sudden return. She stood her ground and obediently responded.
With a somber expression, Xiao Yichen approached. His gaze fixated on the book in her hands.
Standing before Lin Wan, Xiao Yichen snatched the book from her grasp and briefly examined its cover. Then, he shifted his gaze to Lin Wan and inquired, "Have you opened it?"
"I only read the title page. I haven't delved into the contents," Lin Wan truthfully replied.
Given Xiao Yichen's recent indifference and occasional bursts of temper, she wasn't surprised by his gloomy countenance.
"From now on, refrain from touching the books in this section," Xiao Yichen commanded.
