The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

After having dinner early, the sunset still lingered on the horizon.

Bored to death, Yan Xixi dialed someone’s cell phone.

"Hey, you big lout, what are you doing?"

"Hey silly girl, I’m working out... When are you coming back?"

She was overjoyed: "Well...let’s see...I’ve already confirmed my return date, and you can meet me next week, that’ll be about right..."

"Next week? Sure. I’ve been busy these past few days, but I’ll be free next week."

She asked curiously, "Have you been very busy these days?"

"Not too busy, just some scattered meetings that I can’t get away from."

She thought to herself, this is perfect, right? Not traveling, working from home, when I get back, I can catch him off guard, hehe, he’s sure to get a fright.

"Silly girl, how are you going to spend the rest of these days?"

"I won’t be idle, I have some things to organize. I’m very busy, no time for sentimental reminiscing..."

"Hehe..."

"What’s the ’hehe’ about?"

"I was afraid you’d be moping around because of Huang Xiaojue leaving..."

She chuckled silently.

In fact, men’s hearts can be even smaller than women’s.

"Oh right, big lout, weren’t you going to surprise me? Can you give me a hint?"

"Ahem... Once I reveal it, what’s the fun in that? Really."

"Can I take a guess?"

"Suit yourself."

"A romantic candlelight dinner? A mysterious engagement ring? Or something else?"

"None of those. Miss, your imagination is just too vulgar and limited."

"Then I won’t guess. Never mind, I’ll find out soon enough anyway."

"Alright, I should get back to work too."

"Wait..."

"What now?"

"Hey, big lout, why do I feel like you’ve been really busy lately? And I’m the one who called you first... That’s not like you before..."

"Do you have the nerve to say that? How many times have you proactively called me? Most of the time, it’s me initiating! What? You can’t do it for once?"

"Hmph... I just feel like you’re acting weird. You know how it is with guys, right? Whether or not you have time is up to you; once there’s no novelty, suddenly there’s no time, huh... Big lout, don’t let me catch you doing something..."

He laughed out loud: "Miss, you should speak with a little conscience. Just because you took the initiative for once, you’re making a big deal out of it? I’m curious to see what dirt you can dig up on me..."

"Just you wait and see."

"I’m game."

She laughed at herself, said goodbye, and set the phone down to go to the window.

In the dark of night, the countless lights of the city gradually lit up. Suddenly, she felt a gentle fondness for this city.

A classmate called, excited to hear she was still in Boston, and insisted on meeting. She went over immediately. In the small tavern were a few students chatting. Those who needed to leave had mostly done so, and the rest were preparing to go soon.

Inevitably, everyone talked about their future plans.

Among those present, quite a few came from wealthy families; some were heading to family companies to train and eventually take over; others were gaining experience elsewhere; even the regular folks had found satisfactory opportunities... A group of young elites, chatting and laughing.

Yan Xixi just listened, as she had always done.

Someone asked, "Yan, do you have any plans?"

She smiled, "I’ll take a break for now before deciding."

"Makes sense, you’ve worked hard these past two years, maybe take a one-month trip first."
