The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 249 Betting Heart 2_1

Yan Xixi couldn’t believe it. Her eyes were practically spitting fire as she fiercely grabbed his collar. "Wan Donglin, what do you mean by this? What are you playing at?"

The collar, pulled tight by her, was nearly choking him, yet his eyes were full of malicious ridicule. "What? Are you scared, Yan Xixi? Didn’t you always say that Huang Xiaojue’s love for you is real? If it’s real love, then under any circumstances, he should unconditionally trust and tolerate you, right?"

!!!

"You can’t even be sure if his love for you is real, right?" Wan Donglin continued, a smirk playing on his lips. "Or perhaps, the moment he hears ’we were in bed together,’ he’ll go insane and refuse to marry you as planned, right?"

Yan Xixi truly couldn’t believe that such a shameless person, capable of such blatant sophistry, could exist in this world.

He lazily spread his hands and lay back, stretching out his limbs. This movement made her hand, gripping his collar, lose its purchase. He chuckled, "Yan Xixi, believe it or not, I can keep you here for a few days without doing a single improper thing, and by the time you go back, Huang Xiaojue still won’t want you."

Her teeth were grinding.

This Demon! He was just recklessly bent on destruction.

"Men are all like this, terrified of being cuckolded. Huang Xiaojue is no exception. If he discovers you’ve damaged his reputation and dignity, I believe he’ll abandon you without a second thought. Besides, in his eyes, you already have a ’prior offense.’ Once this happens, who’s to say that after you’re married, you won’t cheat on him again and continue seeing me? I bet that’s exactly what Huang Xiaojue is thinking right now. He’s infatuated with you now only because he hasn’t ’gotten’ you yet. Once he has, and realizes you’re nothing special, he won’t keep sacrificing for you. Yan Xixi, wake up. Huang Xiaojue isn’t some flawless, otherworldly prince; he’s just an ordinary mortal."

Her eyes widened. "Wan Donglin, if you think I’ll yield to you because of this, you’re sorely mistaken."

"I don’t need you to yield to me. I just want to prove to you that Huang Xiaojue’s love for you isn’t that selfless."

Instead of rage, a laugh escaped her. Seriously, how shameless and thick-skinned does someone have to be to possess such twisted, gangster logic?

She ignored him completely, grabbed her bag, and tried to leave. But he forcefully held her back. They struggled as if in a tug-of-war, but her strength was no match for his, and she quickly lost.

"Wan Donglin, what exactly do you want?"

"I don’t want anything. Just to keep you here for a few days, well-fed and comfortable. If Huang Xiaojue still wants you after that, I’ll let you go without another word. So, Yan Xixi, do you dare to make this bet with me?"

She was furious. "Why should I play such a ridiculous game with you?"

"You just don’t dare."

"Fine, let’s say I don’t dare. Mr. Wan, I’m not betting, alright?"

His expression turned stern. "You have to bet. You don’t have a choice."

「By that time, Huang Xiaojue was already frantic.」

He’d been at a social engagement late the previous night and had fallen straight into bed when he got home, even forgetting to make his usual call. When he woke up the next day, he immediately called Yan Xixi. But, to his shock, the person who answered was Wan Donglin.

"We haven’t gotten out of bed yet..." The words buzzed in his head. What did that mean? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

He suddenly remembered Yan Xixi’s initial, indistinct sob. He instantly understood. Wan Donglin must have abducted her! He must have forced her; it had to be! Otherwise, why would Xixi ever go with him?
