The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

In the world of men, victory crowns the king, while defeat marks the bandit.

If Wan Donglin had lost, at this moment, his situation would likely be ten times worse than that of Huang Xiaojue.

Even in the depths of my heart, I despicably ask myself: Do I not wish for his victory? Is it not because of his victory that I can preserve myself and smooth the path of my future life?

It is precisely because of his victory that I am safe, and even Lin Zhiyun can be dismissed.

I have indeed enjoyed the fruits of his victory.

No egg remains untouched under a toppled nest.

If the enemy had won and he had fallen, what would my situation be now?

Even if I had luckily preserved my life and wealth, I would likely never dare to return to my homeland.

"People say when women talk about money, they become unbearably vulgar; when men talk about power, they become detestable... I’ve calmed down these past two days and reflect on the path I’ve walked, truly feeling there’s nothing left to battle for. I asked the Empress Dowager’s opinion, and she also agreed to wisely quit while ahead of the game..."

Her heart trembled, and she finally couldn’t hold back: "Would you really be willing to quit while ahead?"

He laughed: "In this world, no one can last forever. I haven’t lived for tens of years, yet I’ve seen three or four generations come and go before my eyes. When they are in power, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven; when they fall into misfortune, everyone suffers. When they are in their glory, how many sycophants could anticipate their defeat happening so swiftly?"

Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi, who didn’t believe their rule was as strong as a fortress?

And the result?

Not to mention, the business world is ever-changing. No one can remain evergreen forever.

People say wealth doesn’t last beyond three generations, that’s the reasoning.

"Miss, I have a question for you..."

"What question?"

"If I were to become an ordinary man and work a regular job with you, would you be happy?"

She giggled with laughter.

Suddenly, all the grievances dissipated like smoke.

"How long would that take?"

"Not long, truly—three to five months to wrap things up and bravely retreat, still preserving a good reputation."

Just like an idol superstar, you must not wait until the sun sets to become an eternal legend; it must be at the peak.

But many simply don’t have that courage—who would let go when the glory and profits are maximized? Or rather, everyone fears that the money will never be enough; don’t you see, many kings of the entertainment world withdraw only to shamelessly make a comeback again and again—holding concerts, going on tours, in various ways to snatch money... To put it plainly, it’s because the money’s almost been squandered and is no longer sufficient, so they come back out to earn milk money.

She thought to herself: Luckily, Wan Donglin doesn’t have to worry about not having enough money.

"Miss, I promise to fulfill what I’ve agreed to with you this time..."

She wanted to retort, but on second thought, indeed, he has never let her down on any promise; as for this ceremony, he had never promised to come beforehand, so it’s not considered a broken promise.

"Hmph...settle that Chuchu first, then we can talk..."

He laughed heartily: "I’ll take your advice, from now on, I’ll retreat whenever I see her, okay?"

"Mind she does that thing to you..."

"Haha, rest assured one hundred times over, I won’t meet her alone, I’ll never drink anything with her... In fact, starting today, I won’t even pay attention to her anymore. I refuse to believe she could be the mistress of a spider web cave. Besides, I’m not Tang Seng, right?"

Yan Xixi burst into laughter.
