The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

"How about this, I’ll come and see you tonight... Anyway, I have nothing this afternoon... I can pick you up on the way back..."

"No need, I want to be alone for a while."

He was silent for a moment, but still friendly: "Yan Xixi, don’t worry too much, gatherings and separations are common. Besides, cousin Huang Family naturally has his own arrangements."

Yan Xixi suddenly asked, "Li Zhen, do you think he’ll really be safe in the future?"

"..."

"Have you found out anything? Who exactly hurt him??"

Li Zhen had to smile bitterly, "Yan Xixi, I really can’t help with this. I know nothing about the situation back home. Moreover, such confidential matters, people like us can hardly find out..."

Yan Xixi was speechless.

Right, such things, let alone Li Zhen, even Wan Donglin, does he really know everything?

After a long time, she quietly hung up the phone.

Only long after did she remember that she had forgotten to thank Li Zhen.

From morning till night, Yan Xixi lay weak on the bed.

She hadn’t eaten anything, yet she didn’t feel hungry at all. Only parched with thirst, she poured herself a cup of warm water, but her steps faltered.

The kitchen still had an abundance of ingredients, which she had driven to the supermarket to buy just two days ago, but now they were unnecessary. When she was alone, she never bothered to cook.

Even half a chicken was still lying in the sink. She originally took it out to defrost, but in the summer heat, after half a day, it had developed a strange smell. She threw it into the trash can.

Her steps were light and floating, as if she’d lost her soul.

He was her little companion, but now, he’s finally gone.

In her heart, hadn’t she been preparing for this scene long ago? Yet when it truly came, why did it feel like a knife cut her heart?

When he rose high with brilliance, she never wept over his departure; but now, amid life and death, oceans away, she’s heartbroken.

The phone screen kept flashing, but she had no will to look.

Nor the strength.

In the evening, she habitually got up to prepare dinner: "Xiaojue... What do you want to eat tonight?"

She opened her mouth, only to realize the surroundings were empty.

Just herself left.

The moonlight had long climbed the treetops, and surroundings were still filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, the night so gentle and enchanting... But for the first time, she deeply felt that this was a foreign land—

This vast and remote town is foreign scenery.

Suddenly surrounded by boundless loneliness, even a faint fear—like after her mother had just passed away, waking up every night to find the vast room left only herself.

Friends, family, lovers... There’s nothing.

She dreaded this vast isolation, so she turned on the TV.

But it was all various foreign languages: ... She flipped through, unable to find any familiar language—there was no station received here.

She desperately longed to hear a familiar voice, even if it were dialect.

But after going through, she dejectedly turned off the TV.

All the lights in the house were on, bright as a grand ball. But only she, barefoot, walked on the cold floors of the bedroom, living room, dining room... and the terrace...

"Xiaojue... Xiaojue..."

She couldn’t open her mouth.

She knew he had already gone far, far away.
