The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 492 - 489: Finally Met the Stingy Big Man 8_1

Yan Xixi followed her gaze and saw a tall, slender young man with a beaming smile standing at the entrance.

She paused, searching her memory for this person.

Li Zhen, both shocked and delighted, immediately ran over. "Goodness, Yan Xixi, it really is you!"

He rubbed his hands together. "I kept guessing it was you, but I didn’t dare to believe it! I can’t believe it’s really you. Yan Xixi, do you still remember me? I’m Li Zhen..."

She smiled too. "I know. You saved a seat for me once."

So, she actually remembered!

Li Zhen, thrilled and overjoyed, rubbed his hands again, momentarily unsure what to say. The girl opposite him was breathtaking: she wore a sky-blue dress, her skin was as fair as snow, her eyes sparkled, and her raven hair seemed to glint with an inner light. She looked like a radiant, translucent figure, far more stunning than the pretty girl in jeans and a pullover he remembered. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

A fleeting glimpse back then, yet he had never forgotten her. But the beautiful girl had seemed as unattainable as a flower hidden beyond the clouds. Apart from her name, he knew nothing else about her. After graduation, they drifted far apart, losing all contact. Now, by a stroke of serendipity, they had reunited.

Overjoyed, he stammered, "Yan Xixi... Yan Xixi... I really can’t believe it... This is too much of a coincidence... truly too much..."

Seeing him repeat the same few phrases, and recalling what Xu Xiaoya had mentioned about his previous visits, Yan Xixi maintained a gentle tone. "Li Zhen, are you here for your cousin-in-law?"

He stammered, "Yes... my cousin-in-law... No, wait..." In truth, he had completely forgotten about Yang Wei by then. But when he heard Yan Xixi mention the name, he noticed that while her attitude was polite, her tone was decidedly cold.

"I never imagined the world could be this small. After all these twists and turns, Yang Wei’s relative turns out to be my old schoolmate. Look, Li Zhen, I don’t want you to have made this trip for nothing. Go back and tell Yang Wei I’m withdrawing the lawsuit. Actually, I already told Huang Xiaojue. Didn’t he pass the message on? And still, you had to come all this way..."

The Huang Family was really going too far, even roping in Li Zhen’s connection. If this dragged on any longer, who knew how many more people they’d send? Yan Xixi had had enough. "Just go back. I’ll do what I promised."

Seeing her so indifferent, Li Zhen became anxious. "Yan Xixi, actually, I didn’t come here today for Yang Wei..."

Yan Xixi was surprised. "Then why did you come?"

He plucked up the courage. "I came to see if it was really you!"

Yan Xixi was taken aback.

"After graduating, I tried to find out where you were but couldn’t reach you. I never expected to suddenly see your name when I returned to the country this time. I thought it couldn’t be such a coincidence, so I came to this shop immediately, but you weren’t here. Then I came back two or three more times, but still missed you. I’m returning to C Country tomorrow, so I decided to try my luck one last time. If I hadn’t found you today, I would’ve accepted it just wasn’t meant to be..."

Xu Xiaoya, standing nearby, couldn’t help but chuckle. So, he was a long-time secret admirer!

Yan Xixi gave a dry cough. Li Zhen blushed and took a step back. "Sorry, Yan Xixi, I was presumptuous."

Yan Xixi was at a loss for words.

Especially as the sales girls around them were all ears, ostensibly making their rounds, but actually listening in on the juicy gossip.

Yan Xixi coughed dryly again. "Well... um... Li Zhen, I don’t want to delay your flight. Please go back and tell your relative that I’ve withdrawn the lawsuit..."
