The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

"Previously, Zhou Ting was someone you disliked, and she was of no benefit to you; but it’s different with Zhang Chuchu, isn’t it? If she uses some kind of trick, wouldn’t you fall for it easily?"

He was curious to the extreme: "What kind of trick could she use? I just don’t believe she could possibly overpower me."

"Hey, is that so absurd? If a young girl likes you, wouldn’t you feel flattered? Situations arise, meeting casually often, over time you become familiar. On a dark, windy night, after three or five glasses of red wine, with a little something added in; she has a plan, you pretend to be clueless, one tries to catch by letting go, the other half-heartedly resists, then, the raw rice gets cooked into a meal... And then, the lady, naturally pregnant, forces you to marry her. Whose daughter is she? Would you dare not take responsibility? From then on, you two would shamelessly be together..."

Someone’s mouth dropped open, more shocked than words can express.

Only after a while did he exclaim: "Young lady... your imagination is so rich! Truly worthy of being a genius at South Country University. How on earth did you come up with such a melodramatic plot..."

She didn’t bother responding to him.

"If such a melodramatic plot could work so well, I wouldn’t know how many thousands of women have successfully forced me into marriage... I’d probably set a Guinness World Record for marriages and divorces..."

She was unimpressed: "Other women fail at forcing marriage because their fathers aren’t old Zhang!"

"Haha, silly girl, I’m telling you, besides you, no other woman in this world would dare force such a marriage."

"..."

"If you tried forcing it now, I might consider it."

"..."

"Sigh, young lady, let me be truthful with you. Yes, I was wrong in this matter, and it’s not that I forgot, nor was it a matter of not having enough time. It was just that, at that moment, I chose what I believed to be the more important victory... That’s the nature of men, once they achieve some sort of interim victory, they get so carried away. A few years ago, when Zhou Ting’s family was at its peak, many people who used to be like dogs in front of me began to avoid me, even deliberately belittled me, even scum like Wang Xiaohao dared to flaunt... Eh, I’m no sage above worldly affairs, naturally, I’m just a common person. Honestly, during those days, I swore to defeat my rivals, to climb back to the peak... So, I couldn’t resist attending that celebration banquet, and indeed, everyone praised me that night, flattering me, individual by individual, wagging their tails and bobbing their heads, so hypocritically respectful after disrespect... Xixi, now thinking back, I find myself truly intolerably vulgar..."

"..."

She was momentarily stunned.

When he made excuses, she was always unhappy.

However, when he spoke his heart, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.

"See, young lady, the rough hero you once worshipped turns out to be just another common person. Are you very disappointed? Is your impression of me plummeting from then on?"

Yan Xixi truly didn’t know how to respond.

She was full of resentment, but at this moment, she was somewhat inexplicably saddened.

Indeed, he had waited for that moment, facing life and death for three or four years, even nearly dying two or three times.

Don’t talk to me about sages above worldly affairs, if truly aloof, Jiang Ziya wouldn’t have come out at eighty to seek wealth; Zhuge Liang wouldn’t have shown his skills in chaotic times. Even Tao Yuanming had to wait until he was frustrated in officialdom, truly unable to mix, to "not bend his back for five bushels of rice."
