The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 475 - 472: Deeply in Love 3_1

He wondered: Do you finally know who I am?

"The person who sent you the goodies must have told you how incredibly attractive I am, or else you would’ve ignored me long ago."

Wan Donglin chuckled in spite of himself.

"Dr. Liu must have told you how beautiful I am, right?"

Dr. Liu had never actually said that.

Besides, when Dr. Liu had visited, her face was covered in small injuries. Considering the pictures she had previously sent of her bruised and swollen face, how beautiful could she possibly have been?

But, seeing that she was joking around meant her mood had completely improved, which made him happy. He decided to tease her, "Well, that’s not exactly what they said. They told me you looked like a horrifying, black-and-blue dinosaur—a truly ghastly sight. Dr. Liu, especially, said the first time he saw you, it really gave him a fright. He claimed he’d never seen such an ugly woman..."

This guy! How could he be so infuriatingly mean? Yan Xixi wished she could reach through the phone and slap him.

"When Dr. Liu said that, I got scared, so I didn’t have the courage to come and see you in person. Otherwise, wouldn’t I have been anxious to rush over immediately?"

Yeah, right. Just think about it. Men these days are hardly saints. If she were a great beauty, he would have shown up at her door in person long ago. It seems he really just pitied her.

Defeated, Yan Xixi tossed her phone aside and ignored him.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

She went to answer the door, and her eyes widened in amazement. Oh my God, an enormous bouquet of red roses!

The delivery girl smiled as brightly as a spring flower. "Miss Yan, these are from a gentleman for you."

The massive bouquet nearly filled an entire corner. Yan Xixi rushed to it and earnestly began counting. Only when her eyes started to blur did she notice a tiny, exquisite card hidden beneath the bouquet. It read: "Silly, stop counting; there are 999 roses in total. Miss, congratulations on your full recovery."

On the back, there was another line of text: "Poor ugly miss, is this the first time in your life you’ve received flowers from a man? Don’t misunderstand, I genuinely pity you. I can be soft-hearted at times, especially towards unattractive women. Let’s just call it my good deed for the day."

She lay on the carpet, laughing out loud, so joyful that she rolled over like a child.

She didn’t know why she was so incredibly happy. She was simply overjoyed.

It felt like the greatest and best affection she had ever received in her life. She had someone constantly by her side, listening to her pour out her heart, caring for her, and attending to her every need with meticulous care. She wouldn’t have to hide any of her joys or sorrows from him. There was no need for privacy. She could expose her ugliest side to him and would willingly show him her most beautiful side as well.

Late into the night, the room was filled with the strong scent of alcohol.

Several alcohol bottles nearby were completely empty.

Huang Xiaojue lay stretched out on the floor, yet he wasn’t drunk at all.

His grip loosened, and the small box fell to the ground, its contents spilling out: a bank card, an engagement ring, earrings, various trinkets...

The large suitcase beside him was also open: clothes, shoes, bags... all neatly organized, ready to be returned to their owner.

Everything he had given her was returned, not a single item missing.

There was even a large envelope: inside was cash to cover the depreciation of the clothes, bags, and other items.

She didn’t want to take even a penny’s advantage of him. Everything was returned, completely settled.

It was a complete and utter severing of ties.

Like a dagger plunged deep into his heart. The pain this time was even more acute than during their first breakup.
