The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 486 - 483: Finally Met the Stingy Big Man 2_1

He stood up. "If my mother asks again, tell her I will leave as soon as possible."

But upon seeing Zhang Xiang’s troubled expression, he quickly added, "At most a month. After a month, I will definitely return."

Only then did Zhang Xiang breathe a sigh of relief.

Something occurred to Wan Donglin. "Right, Zhang Xiang, find someone to contact a university in Ruo City or South Country for me."

Zhang Xiang asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Contact two reputable schools. Preferably elite universities."

"You’re not planning to settle in Ruo City long-term?"

"I might stay in South Country for a couple of years first. Choosing a school in South Country would be more convenient."

"Who’s going?"

Wan Donglin only smiled without saying a word.

Zhang Xiang thought to himself, Isn’t it Yan Xixi? Who else could it be? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"You get in touch first. When the time comes, I will hand all the materials to you. With her academic performance, there shouldn’t be any major problems, whether it’s applying or taking exams."

Zhang Xiang suddenly understood. What on earth is the Third Young Master planning this time? I’ve never seen him so dedicated to anyone before. He has people keeping an eye on her constantly, bustles about tirelessly behind the scenes for her, and now it’s even progressed to secretly contacting universities. Is he trying to comprehensively enhance her abilities? Groom her first, and then decide? With such painstaking efforts, what exactly are his intentions?

When Yan Xixi returned to the hotel, she burrowed under the covers and went straight to sleep.

But how could she sleep? Her eyes were as swollen as red carrots; she could barely open them. The entire night passed in a daze. Sometimes, she dreamt she was still in college—those naive, innocent student years. She had just been freed from the intense busyness of high school and, in a stupor, saw a tall male student approaching her.

The figure vaguely resembled Huang Xiaojue. He was her first love, also her only boyfriend.

Sometimes, they would go shopping together and eat spicy hotpot; other times, they would run in the snow. On their first Valentine’s Day, he bought her a rose. She remembered it clearly. The roses were outrageously priced that night; one rose cost fifteen yuan.

The two of them were wandering the streets when a little girl selling roses chased after them, yelling, "Buy one, Sir! Buy one for your girlfriend!"

She thought it was a waste of money and pulled Huang Xiaojue away.

But Huang Xiaojue insisted on buying one. She got upset. "Fifteen yuan! That’s enough for a whole day’s meals. What’s the point in buying this? You can’t eat it or drink it."

But he still bought it with a smile. It was the first rose she had ever received in her life. Of course, he didn’t let her go hungry either. Right after that, they went to KFC to eat and drink steaming hot coffee. Over a decade ago, KFC was still the preferred choice for dating couples. It was considered a very trendy and fashionable foreign novelty back then.

Not like today, where it’s synonymous with junk food.

All night, she was lost in strange dreams. When she woke up, her face was covered in tears.

She checked her phone. It was just past five, and there were countless messages.

All of them were from the uncouth man, sent between eleven and twelve o’clock the previous night.

"Miss, why aren’t you talking?"

"Are you upset again?"

"What happened? Did you fall asleep?"

Then, there were also several jokes.

After reading these little jokes, she still felt down, so she sent him a reply, "I just woke up."

She didn’t plan on waiting for his reply; after all, it was past five in the morning, and she assumed he was still asleep. Unexpectedly, a reply arrived shortly, "What happened again? Insomnia? Why are you messaging me at this hour?"
