The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

This time, it was her father who answered her.

Her father indulged his daughter even more than her mother did.

The couple exchanged glances, clearly thinking the same thing: having Wan Donglin as a son-in-law would be a great thing. However, there’s no way Wan Donglin would agree to such an arrangement. You don’t force things where you eat.

He patted the chair next to him and said softly, "Chuchu, come sit."

She smiled mischievously and sat close to her father, tilting her head, "Dad, I really like Brother Donglin. Can you tell him not to have a girlfriend, please?"

Old Zhang shook his head and smiled, "Silly girl, that’s not going to happen."

"Why?"

"He’s too old for you, it wouldn’t be suitable."

She was defiant, "But he looks very young, just like the older brothers."

"Oh, that’s not the case. He’s much older than you. His thoughts, his mindset are things you can’t comprehend. Two people who don’t understand each other can’t be together."

"No, I think he understands me well. I always love the gifts he gives me. Like the Barbie doll he gave me last time, I’ve always wanted one in that color, and he got it for me..."

A man sending a girl a Barbie doll—means he sees you as a little girl, not a grown woman.

Old Zhang laughed, "Adults give dolls to children. But for a girlfriend, usually these aren’t the kinds of gifts given."

"What kind of gifts are given to a girlfriend then?"

"One day, when a nice boy sends you something, you will know."

She stubbornly shook her head, "No, I only want Brother Donglin to send me gifts, I don’t like other boys."

"Why?"

"Because he’s my dream prince."

"Silly girl, you’re just being stubborn for now. Wait and see, when you’re a bit older, you’ll understand that there are many men in this world better and more handsome than he is. Wait for your birthday next year, I’ll prepare the grandest ball for you, where you’ll meet many boys of your age who understand your real thoughts..."

Chuchu fell into silence, her thoughts unknown.

Of course, Wan Donglin couldn’t afford to care what she was thinking. Because he was truly busy to the extreme.

The issue started from a quality safety problem.

During a spot check, a batch of food was found to contain harmful substances, the additives exceeding limits by a hundred times. Once the news was released, it caused widespread panic. This industry was the least significant segment of the Zhou Family Group, and it hadn’t been profitable for a long time. Yet, the incident happened right after the old A issue.

One stone causes a thousand waves.

Suddenly, a comprehensive inspection swept over everything, and all the company’s products were hit, with various issues surfacing—evidence concrete and without exception...

When the wall falls down, everyone pushes.

Even Huang Xiaojue was besieged daily by all kinds of phone calls—the media, upstream and downstream suppliers, and various departments with attitudes... Eventually, unable to bear it, he had no choice but to turn off his phone.

That day, he drove home early.

His father was alone at home, worried, and upon seeing him didn’t dare to ask much, only poured him a cup of hot tea: "Xiaojue, don’t put too much pressure on yourself..."

He just asked, "Where’s mom?"

"Alas!"

Father Huang sighed deeply, suddenly lowered his voice, "Xiaojue, you should leave."

He was stunned, slowly, "At this moment, how can I leave?"
