The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

"Old Zhang, your two sons are the promising ones. They’re low-key and steady, while other rich kids are all about scandals and gossip. But look at them—they’re married with kids early, following the proper path. These days, it’s kids like them that give parents peace of mind."

"It’s not that I’m being modest; these two boys really fall far, far short compared to Donglin. Their vision, character, and ability are all lacking by a large margin. What good would it do if they’re not low-key? The older one is mature and prudent but too pedantic. The younger one can adapt, but he’s always impatient and can’t settle his mind. I truly don’t feel comfortable entrusting them with anything..."

"Old Zhang, you’re setting the bar too high. The two kids have long been recognized as top-notch figures in the circle."

"Big Sister, you might not know, but now Donglin has become my biggest trump card and best helper. I truly can’t imagine, without Donglin, who could take his place?"

Liu Daqing thought to herself, Old Zhang is clearly revealing his stance.

Others might not know her, but she knows that at the crucial final moment of the struggle, there were some matters Old Zhang didn’t even inform his sons about but told Wan Donglin.

This clearly shows intentional acceptance.

"Big Sister, though you live freely and enjoy peace, I have a request of you—not to send Donglin away so soon. I still need his help..."

Help? How long to help?

Back then, surrounded by flowers, don’t all men linger?

"You know, in today’s world, given my status, it’s very hard to find someone truly trustworthy and dependable. Donglin’s character and ability are top-notch, and he’s also like a nephew through family ties. I’ve always treated him like my own son. Big Sister, I desperately need Donglin, I hope you’ll agree to my request..."

It’s a highly sought-after position for many, the step-by-step advancement every man dreams of... Yet Old Zhang, with utmost sincerity, only says "I beg you!"

Respect for the virtuous, cherishing talent, thus it’s so.

For at least ten years now, the Wan Family will always be safe and unharmed, and will receive much care and benefits. But was all the hard work in the past just for this result?

In reality, after this battle, she’s felt terrified several times and lost heart, not too attached to the benefits this bustling fame and fortune bring anymore.

But what her son truly thinks, she hasn’t had the chance to privately inquire.

"Big Sister, look at this room full of talented young men, yet they really fall far, far short compared to Donglin... Sometimes, I really wish he were my son..."

Liu Daqing followed his gaze and clearly saw Zhang Chuchu running over, her voice like a silver bell: "Brother Donglin... Brother Donglin..."

Her heart gave a jolt.

Old Zhang’s words carry great meaning, indeed.

"However, Donglin seems a bit distracted today..."

Actually, Liu Daqing had already noticed that today, Wan Donglin often checked his phone, his mind elsewhere.

"Big Sister, does Donglin have something on his mind?"

She laughed: "Isn’t that right? He’s very anxious today."

Old Zhang was very surprised: "Why?"

"Today is my daughter-in-law’s graduation ceremony at South Country University. We were supposed to attend, but who knew it would clash with your birthday celebration, so we couldn’t go. The child has no other relatives at home and was counting on us to be there, definitely very disappointed. Donglin’s called her numerous times today but she hasn’t answered. It seems the couple is having a spat..."
