The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 247: Lost and Found 3_1

When the hot tea arrived, she couldn’t sit any longer. She stood up and said, "Mr. Wan, I should go home now."

He meticulously toyed with the key to the safe. "It’s getting late, Xixi," he said, his voice low. "You should go freshen up and rest."

Unable to bear it any longer, she turned and walked away.

He pulled her back again, his gaze red-hot, his voice searing, "Xixi, I won’t let you leave me!"

She closed her eyes in despair. This time, she struggled with all her might to break free, yet in the next moment, she found herself collapsing into his arms. He completely lost control, swept her up, and strode towards the stairs.

This sudden assault almost broke her. For him, however, it was the beginning of a grand feast. Her snow-white face, flushed crimson with anger and fear, resembled a rose suddenly blossoming under the sun. It was a sight so stunning it nearly made him lose his composure.

"Xixi... Xixi..."

He had never been this tender, this cautious, his voice hoarse. "Xixi, these past few days, I’ve been missing you... I still can’t live without you..."

This wasn’t a confession; it was a display of dominance.

What had he promised her back then? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Yan Xixi, rest assured, I usually get tired of things in two or three months. I’ll naturally let you go then..."

"Yan Xixi, when I’m bored, I’ll help you find a way to make a living. There are many wealthy men in the business school. If you’re lucky, you might even marry one of them..."

"Yan Xixi, this is a contraceptive pill. If you don’t take it on schedule, you should know the consequences if anything happens..."

His words still echoed in her ears, yet he was going back on them—to be precise, he had always gone back on his words.

And he chose to do this, of all times, on the eve of her marriage to Huang Xiaojue.

This Demon! He’s clearly here to cause trouble, to humiliate both her and Huang Xiaojue. She was about to get married, but he clearly didn’t think he’d had his fill. Now, on a whim, he wants to toy with her for another couple of months. Once he’s tired of her again, he’ll just toss her back to Huang Xiaojue!

The overwhelming humiliation made her eyes turn bloodshot.

However, he clearly ignored her fury, his mind completely consumed by the joy of their reunion...

Just as his lips were about to touch hers, she moved with lightning speed and—SMACK!—a resounding slap landed hard on his face. Whether he hadn’t anticipated it or simply hadn’t had time to dodge, the sound was incredibly loud.

The force of the blow was immense. Wan Donglin was utterly stupefied and unwittingly released her, his face burning.

She quivered with rage. "Wan Donglin, we’re through! Why won’t you leave me alone? I’ve returned the money, and I didn’t take your boutique. I don’t owe you a single penny! What right do you have to keep tormenting me?"

His heart felt as if it were being sliced by a knife, and for a moment, he was utterly speechless.

She jumped down barefoot and tried to run, but he held her fast, refusing to let go no matter how much she struggled. Enraged, she turned and pummeled him. "Let go, you Demon! Why won’t you leave me alone? There are so many women in the world; why do you have to pester me? I detest you! The sight of you disgusts me! Why are you still clinging to me? Let go!"

She frantically punched his chest, scratched him, pounded him... His large hand tightened around her, completely enveloping her. Exhausted, she collapsed in his arms, tears streaming down her face.

"Fool!"

Fool, I’ve always loved you so much!

He held her tightly. Even though his face and chest throbbed with pain, his heart was filled with an immense joy, an exhilarating elation... Especially when her hot tears dripped onto his face, an indescribable sense of peace settled over him. It was as if he had recovered something precious he had once lost.
