The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 512 - 509: Proposal 3_1

What a brand-new world!

I’ve really outdone myself! Encouraging her to buy this house was a stroke of genius.

He suddenly asked, "Xixi, am I the first guest in your new place?"

"Of course not."

"Really? Hmm, possibly. Now that I think about it, Xu Xiaoya might have come over before."

She shot him a fierce glare. Did he really need to laugh like that?

She didn’t have many close friends or relatives, so moving wasn’t a grand affair. Besides, she hadn’t invited Huang Xiaojue, primarily because she wasn’t living here herself at the time. And, of course, by the time she had moved in, she’d already broken up with Huang Xiaojue—so he wouldn’t be visiting anymore.

Thinking of Huang Xiaojue, she fell silent, a little dejected.

Wan Donglin was well aware of her lingering feelings. But he couldn’t suppress his own elation. Finally, Huang Xiaojue’s mark was completely erased from this new world of hers—how incredibly satisfying!

After eating too many fried pork ribs, she felt a bit greasy. She thought for a moment and decided to go to the kitchen to prepare some fruit to cut through the oiliness.

Even the fruit had been brought by Wan Donglin.

There were watermelon, oranges, and dragon fruit. But she couldn’t possibly eat it all herself, could she? Besides, she had definitely promised that "unrefined guy" a meal. Since she’d already freeloaded one meal off him, it wouldn’t be right not to offer some fruit, would it?

So, she decided to cut up a large plateful to take out.

While she was in the kitchen preparing the fruit, she paid no mind to Wan Donglin pacing around by himself.

Wan Donglin suddenly noticed her phone screen flashing repeatedly; messages were streaming in non-stop. Strange, I haven’t sent her any messages. Which guy is pestering her endlessly?

Curious, he picked it up. He hadn’t intended to look, but one glance shocked him.

The message was from "Li Zhen." The profile picture showed a very cheerful, young man. The location was C Country, and there was an endless stream of messages:

"The academic culture here at C Country University is really good. I didn’t realize it before I came, but now I understand what a frog in a well I was. I used to think I was pretty amazing, with super high IELTS scores. However, only after coming here did I realize what a true ocean of knowledge is..."

"People here don’t compete over who has an LV bag or what luxury car someone drives, but rather who is stronger academically. I don’t dare to slack off even for a moment. During the most intense part of the term, I sometimes only get two hours of sleep a day..."

"The scenery is beautiful too, and the air is so fresh, unlike our city that’s always gray and shrouded in smog. Yan Xixi, you really should come out and see it..."

"Changing your surroundings can really improve your mood. The ancients put it well: ’Traveling ten thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books.’ I particularly like that line from Shen Congwen: ’I have walked across bridges in many places, seen clouds many times, drunk many kinds of wine, but I have only ever loved one person at the perfect age...’"

"I went to inquire at two universities yesterday. I’ve already sent the information to your email, Yan Xixi. Take a look, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask me..."

"I suggest you take the opportunity while you’re young to come out and see the world. After all, life is long, and it’s always good to learn more..."

"Yan Xixi, I sent you a small gift. It’s nothing expensive, just a little trinket I bought from a stall outside the university, but it has a very C Country feel to it..."

"..."

Wan Donglin was fuming after reading the messages.

Great! Just when I finally got Huang Xiaojue completely out of the picture, another one named Li Zhen pops up? Who the hell is this guy? How did I never even know he existed before?
