The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 450 - 447 - The Overjoyed Uncouth Man 11_1
He immediately realized there was more to the situation than met the eye. He said very politely, "I’m very sorry, Miss Xu. Please don’t be angry. I have no ill intentions or any ulterior motives. I’ll leave right away. However, could I trouble you to pass a message to Yan Xixi? Tell her my name is Li Zhen. If she still remembers this name, then she was my university classmate..."
He then spotted a pen and paper on the counter next to Xu Xiaoya, immediately picked them up, and wrote down a phone number and a WeChat ID. "Miss Xu, could you please give this to Yan Xixi?"
"We’ll talk when she returns."
The downpour lasted the entire day and night.
Dark clouds pressed down on the city as if to crush it, but to Yan Xixi, this was the quintessential feeling of summer.
White sheets, white pillowcases, and slow, flowing music. The room was very quiet; from the window, the silhouette of the city’s dense skyline was visible.
She lay on the broad bed, carelessly flipping through a magazine, comfortably dressed in large pajamas all day long. Every morning, she would wake up early to eat a hearty buffet breakfast: sliced roasted joint, fried bacon, buttered bread, and various vegetables and desserts. She ate whatever high-calorie food they served, paying no mind to whether it was raw or cold, which kept her full all day.
This was the biggest advantage of a five-star hotel—while others focused on the comfort of the room or the fine environment, she was only interested in the extravagant free breakfast.
Thoroughly relaxed, eating then sleeping, then sleeping then eating, she felt an incomparable joy—a decadent kind of joy.
Especially the white bedsheets and quilt covers; they were the most sleep-inducing.
She steeled herself. A large sum of money had already been spent from that card anyway. With so many debts, she wasn’t worried about adding more; it was like having so many lice that you no longer feel them biting. So, she decided to splurge and booked a room at a five-star hotel for a month.
It was the first time in her life she had indulged herself like this.
She ignored all calls. Every day, she would turn on her phone only once to check her messages, then she would delete everything and turn her phone off.
WeChat was bustling with notifications. She took a look—my goodness, a flood of nearly a hundred messages! All sorts of questions, all sorts of jokes. Of course, they were all from that rough-and-ready guy.
"Miss, are you feeling better?"
"Miss, have you been to the hospital?"
"I am about to return..."
Even though they were from a stranger, and perhaps just polite pleasantries, she felt a warmth in them. Too lazy to type, she responded with a voice message, "I’m already better, thank you. Don’t worry. All the problems have been solved." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
He immediately replied, "Where are you now?"
"A five-star hotel."
"Why are you staying at a hotel?"
"I wanted to hide in a place where no one can find me."
"Are you afraid they’ll seek revenge?"
"No, not at all."
"What’s the reason then?"
"Can’t I just do it without a reason?"
"HEH HEH, I bet you’re hiding from that tall, rich, handsome man of yours, aren’t you? You fought with his mother, and now you’re scared, right?"
Yan Xixi didn’t know how to respond for a moment. He was right. From the kicking and hair-pulling by Huang’s mother and her sister to her own act of swinging a chair... her relationship with Huang Xiaojue was utterly ruined.
It was an irresolvable knot, one that would bind them for a lifetime.
"We’ve broken up completely. I’ve returned everything he ever gave me. I’m never going to see him again."
Wan Donglin knew she was just blowing off steam and venting all her grievances on Huang Xiaojue, but he still couldn’t help feeling a spark of joy.
They’d finally broken up! Thank heavens! His own numerous attempts had all been futile; Huang’s mother was the truly capable one. The demolition team really should hire her as their captain. Thanks to Huang’s mother!
(That’s all for today. Up next, Yan Xixi will meet the rough-and-ready guy. Can you guess her reaction when she sees him?)
