The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

"Li Zhen, it seems she really doesn’t have a boyfriend. I’ve inquired several times, and Li Xianzhen and the others say they’ve never seen any man visiting her..."

Li Zhen lightly said, "So what?"

Li Mingyu suddenly stammered, "Could it be that she..."

"What is she?"

"Someone’s new lover kept outside by a wealthy man? Otherwise, why wouldn’t she even come to the graduation ceremony?"

Li Zhen was startled and sternly refuted, "Impossible, she’s not that kind of person."

"Why impossible?? Although she’s low-key, look at the house she lives in, the clothes she wears, and I’ve even heard she has a designated nanny and chauffeur. Are you not aware of the labor costs in the United States? How can ordinary people afford them? If it weren’t for that kind of relationship, who’d pick up the tab?"

"Li Mingyu, you’re overthinking it. I assure you it’s absolutely not that kind of relationship."

"Do you know her past?"

"Not quite. But everyone has their privacy; why should we meddle?"

"Forget it, Li Zhen, I suggest you best give up."

Li Zhen laughed, "You’re the one who’s overthinking. Haven’t I told you all already? I’m just taking my girlfriend here for a fun day out. What, you’re not welcoming?"

"Is it my place to say welcome or not?"

Time passed quickly, but how could Yan Xixi sleep?

Tossing and turning, she simply moved a chair to the garden and sat quietly.

The moonlight had already faded, the dawn not yet arrived, it was the darkest time just before dawn, with a faint scent of roses in the air.

The phone hadn’t rung all along; yesterday, he had already spoken to her—tired, brief.

Wan Donglin, he really had completely forgotten about his graduation ceremony—

Originally, she held onto some hope, just like last time when she went alone to Boston out of spite, her first time on an international flight, heartbroken on the plane, but once she opened her eyes, saw him sitting right next to her.

Lifelong, she would never forget that surprise.

It was that moment she fell hopelessly, completly in love with him.

This guy, indeed was adept at creating surprises.

However, she knew that this time, there would no longer be any surprise.

Counting the time on her fingers, it was right when Mr. Zhang’s birthday banquet was happening, he was mingling with a whole lot of people in that world of his.

Finally, the call came.

"Xixi... I’ve made big trouble..."

She was startled, "What’s the matter?"

"I’m such an idiot! I won’t make it to your graduation ceremony..."

Inside, she wasn’t quite sure how she felt. But, somewhat comforted.

"Originally the Empress Dowager planned to attend, but Mr. Zhang sent her an invitation and personally sent someone to fetch her; there’s no way, she couldn’t come either... Xixi, I’m so sorry, I couldn’t make either of your graduation ceremonies..."

"I know, I already spoke to her on the phone tonight. Is she still alright physically?"

"Still quite okay. Ugh, Xixi, this time was really unfortunate, I should have come..."

She paused silently.

"Xixi, are you mad?"

"No."

Then, silence again.

For some reason, recently, clearly their phone calls were getting more frequent, texts more frequent, the days of reunion getting closer, yet, her moments of silence were also increasing... Truly, gradually feeling there’s nothing left to say.

"Xixi..."

She suddenly heard someone calling him on the other end, loudly, "Brother Donglin... Brother Donglin..."

Brother Donglin!

Chuchu from Zhang Family.

Just when Mr. Zhang’s birthday banquet was taking place.

The girl brazenly, "Brother Donglin... Brother Donglin..."

So rightfully so.

"Xixi..."
