The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Li Mingyu said with a grin: "What’s up? Not welcoming your senior? I came to cheer you on. Aren’t you having a graduation ceremony tomorrow? Well, I have to show my support, right? Not only did I come myself, but I also brought a helper, pretty loyal, right? ... This is my college classmate Li Zhen, some of you have met him before. Oh, he graduated with a Ph.D. in Law from Cambridge..."

The group burst into laughter again, warmly inviting the two to sit down.

After a year or two, Li Zhen seemed like a completely different person.

He had obviously matured, impeccably dressed in a suit, exuding a robust, successful aura.

Yan Xixi was very surprised, but still polite: "Li Zhen, why are you here?"

Li Zhen casually replied: "I’ve been working on a few things with Li Mingyu, and I happened to come by this time. He mentioned there was a gathering, so I came along... By the way, your boyfriend isn’t coming to the graduation ceremony tomorrow?"

Yan Xixi suddenly felt very flustered, her face turning as red as blood.

She could disguise her feelings in front of others, but not in front of Li Zhen.

Especially since Li Zhen had seen the photo of her and Wan Donglin together.

Flustered, she lowered her head, picked up her beer glass, and took a big sip. This trace of panic was completely caught by Li Zhen, who just smiled it off without pressing further.

The atmosphere remained lively, with classmates chatting and laughing, but Yan Xixi was despondent, forcing a smile and saying little.

Until everyone couldn’t stay awake any longer, Li Mingyu stood up: "Everyone should go back and rest a bit, tomorrow is the key day. We need to be full of energy, not looking all haggard like a bunch of smokers."

The group dispersed.

Li Xianzhen caught up: "Yan, I’ll see you home."

Li Mingyu grinningly said: "Kid, step aside. Today, it has to be me, the senior, to escort her. It’s not your turn yet, is it?"

Li Xianzhen glanced at Li Zhen, unwilling to give in: "Senior, you can’t let personal matters take over."

Li Mingyu humorously retorted: "The three of us are from the same country, you’re from another. Isn’t that reason enough? If not, let me add that the three of us are alumni back home, and from the same hometown, as close as brothers. Li Xianzhen, are you still competing?"

Li Xianzhen also laughed.

Yan Xixi got into the car, sitting alone in the backseat.

Li Mingyu and Li Zhen were in the front.

However, she still felt uneasy, remaining silent.

Li Mingyu spoke first: "Xixi, I have the day off tomorrow, just in time to go to the ceremony with Li Zhen. I’m looking forward to seeing you in your cap, taking photos... You must look beautiful..."

She forced a smile: "No need to bother."

Li Zhen replied casually, "What’s so bothersome about that? It’s just on the way for us. Besides, my girlfriend is very eager to see Harvard, she’s been waiting for a chance to come to this spectacle, just never had an excuse. So, we’re using the pretext of cheering for you. This time, I can say I specifically brought her here."

Yan Xixi was taken aback, so she had been overthinking.

She immediately felt relieved, smiling: "That’s perfect. Tomorrow will be quite busy, I was worried I couldn’t properly host my fellow townsmen, so enjoy yourselves."

They dropped her off at her doorstep and watched as she opened the gate and went in.

She turned around and gave a sweet smile: "Thank you both."

Then her figure merged with the night, blending in with the roses.

For a long while, Li Zhen withdrew his gaze, and by then, the car had already traveled quite a distance.
