The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 402 Different Perspectives2_1
"Xixi, what did you do tonight?"
She answered straightforwardly, "I stole his phone, called his wife to tell her where he was, and then threw it away. Otherwise, why would I have let him touch my hand and even hug me? Everything has a price, doesn’t it?"
He said slowly, "Xixi, you don’t actually need to concern yourself with that kind of person."
"I didn’t intend to bother with him, but he threatened me over and over. Xiaojue, you know how much I detest being threatened. If no one offends me, I won’t offend them. But he kept provoking me, so I want to ruin him."
"What did he threaten you with?"
She replied, her expression unchanging, "He kept bringing up Wan Donglin, that despicable rat. Tonight, he told me that if I didn’t sleep with him for a month, he would tell you about the sordid past between me and Wan Donglin."
"..."
"At that moment, I honestly wanted to push him from the 27th floor and see his brains splatter. But I considered it—the railing was too high, and I knew I wasn’t strong enough. Still, I couldn’t just let him get away with it, or he’d keep thinking I was easy to bully..."
Huang Xiaojue shuddered inwardly, not because of her vicious words about "seeing his brains splatter," but because of the serious way she spoke—it was genuine. Not only did she think it, but she would actually do it if she had the chance.
Just like the ruthless way she had dealt with Liang Sheng, that uncouth, fat guy.
It was the first time he clearly recognized it: she possessed a strong ’mutual destruction’ kind of dangerous impulse. If not properly controlled, it could manifest as what was commonly termed ’anti-social’ negative energy.
Huang Xiaojue gazed at her. After a moment, he said, "Xixi, you should know I’ve never cared about that. If I did, I wouldn’t be with you. Besides, it means nothing to me at all. In the two years we were separated, I also dated a few women. I’m not perfect myself, so how could I be so narrow-minded? Xixi, why would you take to heart what scum like him says? You should know that no matter what rumors he spreads to me, they’ll be useless."
She replied coolly, "It’s not my past that I care about. It’s being threatened. That’s just how I am: if someone hits me, I hit back; if they insult me, I insult them back. I wanted to deal with him last time, too, but I never got the chance. Tonight, he actually pushed it even further, so he can’t blame me for being harsh."
"Xixi, it’s dangerous for you to act this way! People like Wang Xiaohao have no bottom line. Once he learns that you went after him, he will undoubtedly try to harm you."
Yan Xixi smiled. "Is there a difference? Even if I don’t go after him, he’ll still come after me—unless I submit to his every demand. Well, too bad. I’d rather strike first than wait to be slaughtered."
She said lightly, "You saw them tonight—Zhou Ting, Zhou Xiaoxuan—they were all there. Why do these people show up wherever I am? It must be Wan Donglin pulling strings behind the scenes... That despicable creep, he’s been scheming all along to destroy me!"
Huang Xiaojue felt a chill. "Xixi, you mustn’t act rashly."
She raised an eyebrow. "Are you talking about Wan Donglin? True, I really can’t afford to provoke him. However, if I get a chance, I won’t let him off the hook either."
Huang Xiaojue said in a deep voice, "This circle has always been like this, Xixi. In the future, we should just attend fewer of these events. You absolutely must not provoke Wan Donglin. He is not Wang Xiaohao!"
