The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 354 Crack 2_1
After this small incident, Yan Xixi no longer felt like staying. Seeing her depressed look, Huang Xiaojue gently said, "Xixi, don’t be angry. That guy is a jerk; just ignore him. It’s getting late, let’s head back."
She remained silent even after getting in the car. "Xixi..." he called a few times before she finally responded, "What?" He stared at her, noting her empty, distant gaze.
"Xixi, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow..."
"Oh? You’re leaving again?"
He sighed inwardly. He had told her yesterday, but she had forgotten. He wondered what was truly on her mind. He pulled the car over to the side of the road. "Xixi, are you unhappy?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
She closed her eyes slightly. She had suddenly realized that she couldn’t avoid her past. Today’s encounter with Wang Xiaohao was just the beginning. Just like her shameful past, it would inevitably be revealed to Huang Xiaojue sooner or later.
"Xixi, do you want to come with me to Hong Kong for a few days?"
She shook her head with a bitter smile. "How can I take time off before I’ve even handed in my resignation? We’ll talk about it later."
Even when he dropped her home, her mood hadn’t improved. As Huang Xiaojue was driving back, his phone rang. It was Wang Xiaohao. "Mr. Huang, there’s something I wanted to discuss with you..."
"What is it?"
Wang Xiaohao got straight to the point, "Name your price. I want the girl you brought tonight."
Huang Xiaojue was speechless.
"HAHA, Mr. Huang, don’t play coy with me," Wang Xiaohao said. "To be honest, I’ve looked into you. You’re an exceptionally gifted talent, handsome, even called the most handsome man in the financial circle. What kind of woman can’t you get?"
Huang Xiaojue, suppressing his anger, asked flatly, "Are you drunk?"
Wang Xiaohao laughed loudly. "I certainly had a few extra drinks. But really, Huang Xiaojue, why are you putting yourself through this? I can offer you many other benefits. Just give me that woman. Anyway, San Shao got tired of her a long time ago. You’re not really planning on marrying her, are you?"
A wave of anger surged through Huang Xiaojue. He was so furious that if that damn guy were in front of him, he wouldn’t hesitate to smash his nose.
Yet, Wang Xiaohao’s voice came from the other end of the call, the reek of alcohol so strong it seemed to carry over the phone, "Huang Xiaojue... I can offer something else in exchange... Name your price..."
He hung up the phone abruptly and slammed his fist hard against the steering wheel. He suddenly realized why Xixi had been so out of sorts tonight. It was all because of this jerk.
"Anyway, San Shao got tired of her a long time ago. You’re not really planning on marrying her, are you?" So, that fat pig hadn’t mistaken her identity after all! It was because Wan Donglin had brought her into that circle before.
He gritted his teeth, stars exploding in his vision. That damned Wan Donglin! How long would this shameless bastard continue to torment them?
For two consecutive days, Yan Xixi remained in low spirits. After work on Friday, she rushed to the shop, as it was the final inspection day for the renovation. When she reached the entrance, she stopped. Huang Xiaojue’s mother was inside, scrutinizing everything with a critical gaze.
She braced herself and went in. "Auntie, what brings you here?"
Huang Xiaojue’s mother replied coolly, "It’s my son’s shop. Can’t I come and take a look?"
Xu Xiaoya, who was nearby, subtly gestured to Yan Xixi, signaling her to keep her composure. Yan Xixi said nothing more and politely accompanied Huang Xiaojue’s mother on the inspection.
