The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Xu Xiaoya is even more reliable than her boyfriend; almost every day there’s a text or a call. Without her, neither of them has many close friends, always afraid that if they don’t keep in touch, something might happen unexpectedly, and there’d be no one to call for help.

"Xixi, are you really going to attend the graduation ceremony alone tomorrow? Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have come..."

She had offered to come, but Yan Xixi declined.

Because Xu’s mom had just been discharged after a serious illness and hadn’t fully recovered, Xu Xiaoya herself was exhausted. Such a long journey was clearly unrealistic.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be back home soon."

"Alright, I’ll pick you up then. By the way, I’ve received all the gifts you sent me; you bought too many. Please don’t bring any gifts when you return; they’re too heavy and hard to carry."

She asked slowly, "Xiaoya, is everything okay back home? How about Huang Xiaojue, is he alright?"

Xu Xiaoya dared not answer, and she’s not adept at lying in front of Yan Xixi, so she could only say, "How would I know about him?"

Indeed, Yan Xixi thought, how could she have any connection with Huang Xiaojue?

Xu Xiaoya cautiously asked, "Is Mr. San really not coming?"

"He’s too busy."

Xu Xiaoya, for some reason, recalled Zhou Xiaoxuan’s words.

A man, no matter how much he loves you, if he keeps delaying marriage for five or six years—how do you deal with that?

Besides, for such an important occasion as graduation, Mr. San isn’t coming.

The reason she didn’t go was partly because of her mother’s illness, but more importantly because she firmly believed Mr. San would go; if he went, it wouldn’t be convenient for her. Had she known Mr. San wasn’t going at all, she would have gone no matter what. It’s too late to regret now.

"Xixi, will you marry Mr. San when you return home?"

Yan Xixi paused before smiling, "Marriage? Not necessarily. It’s a bit discouraging to get married right after graduation. Maybe I’ll focus on my career for a couple of years first... Alright, Xiaoya, don’t worry about me. Once I’m back, everything will naturally be resolved..."

Xu Xiaoya could hear the forced cheerfulness in her laughter.

Indeed, Yan Xixi’s smile was quite strained.

When she graduated from university, Wan Donglin was away and didn’t attend the ceremony;

This time, he still didn’t come.

Perhaps he’s completely forgotten.

And she could only choose to remain silent.

Seriously, can you completely forget such an important event? Or, perhaps because it conflicted with Old Zhang’s birthday banquet, he had to forget?

She could understand, but inside she felt anxious.

Really, sometimes your rival isn’t necessarily a woman; a man’s career, future, job, buddies... all of these can become your rival.

At that moment, the phone rang, and Li Xianzhen’s voice sounded frantic: "Yan, come out quickly."

"I’ve already gone to bed..."

"Oh my! You’re using such valuable time to sleep?" Li Xianzhen sounded as if he was listening to some great monster, incredulous, "Do you know what time it is? You can sleep every day, but Harvard is only for a short time; after this, we’ll be scattered across the globe, and you’d rather sleep than gather with us? Yan, are you really from Earth or Mars? I’m coming to pick you up now."

Yan Xixi turned over and got up: "Alright."

They were thoughtful; they chose a gathering place close to her home.

Once out the door, sure enough, Li Xianzhen’s car was already waiting; he’s always extremely enthusiastic when picking up pretty girls.

Once inside, a room full of people greeted her with laughter and chatter.
