The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

"You rascal, still haggling with me?"

"This is business, don’t you get it?"

"No problem. Let’s settle it this way... Forget it, considering you’re also working part-time as a companion, I’ll compensate you a bit more..."

"Compensate? Strange, how will you compensate me?"

He retorted, "How do you want to be compensated?"

"Haha, like the current popular drama, adding my name to the property deed?"

"So vulgar! Can’t I just gift you a set? Tell me, which location do you fancy? But don’t say you’ve got your eyes on Nangong, I can’t afford that..."

Yan Xixi also started laughing.

Who’s after property anyway?

"Enough of this, I still have some things to do."

"What things?"

"I need to prepare a few things, alright, see you..."

It’s getting late, time to make dinner.

She carried a basket of roses into the kitchen and even began to hum a tune.

Today, she’s in a good mood, maybe because Zhang Chuchu got eliminated; maybe because Huang Xiaojue is slowly recovering; maybe because her soul feels liberated: Yan Xixi, you don’t owe anyone.

Never hold onto a mindset of repaying kindness, in life, just don’t betray your conscience at crucial moments.

At that moment, Huang Xiaojue slowly got up from the recliner.

The evening breeze gently brushed, the path was fragrant with flowers, the open kitchen echoed with the sound of chopping vegetables, there was even a faint smell of cooking smoke...

Another beautiful night was arriving.

He saw the phone screen on the opposite table lighting up incessantly.

He didn’t have the habit of snooping on others’ phones, he just wanted to pass it to her.

But as he picked it up, he saw the screen full of messages.

"Silly girl, I’ve been feeling uneasy these past few days... Really, during such an important moment as your graduation ceremony, I didn’t come, I don’t think you’d forgive me so easily... The more I think about it, the more something feels off... So I said I’d come pick you up, and you keep making excuses... Do you not care whether I come or not? Hurry and tell me, have you truly forgiven me?..."

"Based on my experience, you’re not someone easy to deal with... Could it be, there’s some other trick up your sleeve?"

"Yan Xixi, I warn you, no little schemes allowed, not even a thought... Think about it, I rejected all the little schemes from women... Take Chuchu for instance, you told me to cut swiftly and decisively, and I immediately did... Now that I’m older, lacking in charm, but you, in your prime, you can’t bully me because of that..."

...

Many messages like this, laughable yet infuriating, Huang Xiaojue was secretly astonished, he didn’t expect Wan Donglin to speak to her in such a tone usually.

Even curiously watched that video.

When hearing his words, "I used many means to get her to agree to marry me..." Especially when seeing Zhang Chuchu yelling, "I’m truly disappointed in you... You’re actually this kind of person... Stop the car... I don’t want to deal with you anymore..."

Huang Xiaojue’s shock was imaginable.

At one point, he never thought Wan Donglin was sincere and genuine, always believed he deceived girls relying on money, offering opportunities at South Country University... Now, he just understood, it was far more than that.

The video with Zhang Chuchu explained it all.

Looking around the world, today, how many men dare to treat Zhang Chuchu like this?

Yet, he didn’t hesitate, nor feared offending Old Zhang, just went ahead and drove Zhang Chuchu away.

Huang Xiaojue suddenly lost all his strength, the last flicker of hope completely vanished.

"Xiaojue... Xiaojue..."

Yan Xixi prepared everything, wiped her hands and came out: "Xiaojue... Xiaojue, time to eat..."

No one around.

Her heart skipped a beat, suddenly she ran out in panic: "Xiaojue... Xiaojue..."
