The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 616 - 613: Are you breaking up with me? 8_1

Wan Donglin spoke with a grave tone, "Huang Xiaojue didn’t get this job thanks to Zhou. I’m well aware of the details of his application process. He stood out from several candidates entirely on his own merit. To be precise, it was due to his clean background. In fact, even now, he has never tried to butter up Zhou. He is much smarter and more cautious than I imagined."

Yan Xixi couldn’t believe it.

She took a deep breath after a long pause. "If that’s the case, why did Zhou Ting give his family so many benefits?"

"Zhou Ting is a formidable character. How else could she completely drag Huang Xiaojue down? Huang’s mother is greedy and vain, and Zhou Ting catered to her tastes. If Huang Xiaojue’s life is truly ruined, it will definitely be because of his mother. However, he is clearly vigilant. Otherwise, Yang Wei wouldn’t just be a minor city management team leader."

Yan Xixi lowered her eyelashes and remained silent.

Wan Donglin stared at her, slowly saying, "Xixi, there’s something I need to tell you..." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

She raised her head in puzzlement.

"Years ago, I gave Huang Xiaojue a check for 200,000 and told him to stop bothering you. Later, when he couldn’t find you anywhere, he had someone return the check to me. He said that if I ever abandoned you one day, you should keep it for your protection... Even though I have always disliked him, that guy is indeed a very rare good person!"

Yan Xixi opened her mouth, but she didn’t say a word.

"Xixi..."

He called her name three times before she finally came to her senses.

He gave her a wry smile. "Do you think I’m despicable?"

She suddenly laughed. "Would you stop being despicable if I blamed you?"

He was unconcerned. "Aren’t I being noble now? HEH. You’ve already fallen for me, so naturally, I don’t need to be despicable anymore."

She glared at him, annoyed. Wasn’t this guy just boasting?

She lazily lay in his arms. "Donglin, when are we going to the United States?"

"The passport, visa, and all other formalities are complete. We can go whenever you want. Xixi, is there anything else you need to prepare?"

"I can’t think of anything right now. It doesn’t matter; you’ll handle everything for me anyway."

His arms, which were holding her, suddenly slackened, and his gaze also turned quite strange.

Yan Xixi didn’t notice and continued to act sweet. "Donglin, you have to accompany me on registration day. I’m scared if I go alone..."

"Why be scared? Just think of going to the U.S. as a trip to another province."

"No way. I have never been abroad or even on a trip to another province. In my entire life, I’ve never even been on a plane. Donglin, I dare not go without you."

Wan Donglin was stunned.

For so long, he had completely overlooked this.

"Xixi!"

"What’s wrong?"

"You can’t rely on me for your entire life. What will you do if I’m not by your side one day?"

She was startled and sat up. Why did his words sound so creepy?

Without realizing it, she had developed a habit of depending on him. From when they first met until now, from graduating college to getting into Harvard, even during the year they were apart, he had silently supported her from behind under his online alias... Since he had always been there, why would he suddenly not be there?

He said earnestly, "Xixi, remember, you must never lose the ability and courage to live independently."

She asked uncertainly, "Donglin, what are you trying to say?"

"!!!"

"Are you breaking up with me?"

"..."

Her eyebrows shot up. "Donglin, do you have someone else?"
