The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 568 - 565 Time’s Up 7_1

"HAHA, really? Are you already getting jealous and tailing me? Or should I say, are you getting anxious? Should I feel honored by this?"

Yan Xixi scoffed. "You just love to flatter yourself. I was merely asking casually."

After a moment, she couldn’t resist asking again, "When are you coming back? Didn’t you say you’d be back in two days? It’s already the third day..."

"HAHA, Miss, you miss me, don’t you? If you miss me, just admit it."

"PAH! Who would miss you? I’m just calling you out on your lies. Is lying so amusing? Honestly."

"How odd. A con woman who actually despises liars."

Yan Xixi said nothing.

"Miss, do you miss me or not?"

Still, she remained silent.

"Since you don’t miss me, I won’t come back. Miss, do you have any idea where I am right now? I’m on a small island, surrounded by enthusiastic tropical beauties. They all have top-notch figures, excel at belly dancing, cater to a man’s every desire, and provide meticulous service. TSK, TSK, TSK, it’s an absolute paradise for men..."

"So, you’re indulging in pleasure and have forgotten all about returning?"

"Exactly! I have beautiful women and fine wine here; life couldn’t be more delightful. Since no one misses me back there, why should I hurry back?"

Yan Xixi was so angry she slammed her phone down.

Only then did Wan Donglin adopt a serious tone. "Miss, something unexpected came up. Two people suddenly appeared the day before the conference was due to end. I happen to have some business dealings with them, so I stayed for an extra couple of days."

She was very curious. "Why are you people always so secretive? I always feel like you’re akin to those ambitious figures in movies, the ones who conspire to manipulate wars..." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"HAHA, isn’t that precisely it? That’s how currency wars are initiated."

Her curiosity piqued even further. "It’s said that behind every war around the globe, there are conspiracies hatched by financiers. They provoke conflicts to seize the spoils. Is that true?"

"Do you want to know?"

"Yes, I do."

"Then I’m not going to tell you."

Yan Xixi stomped her foot in exasperation.

"HAHA, Miss, if you admit you miss me, then when I return, I’ll see if I’m in the mood to share some juicy gossip with you."

She pouted. For a few mere scraps of information, I’d have to depend on his ’lordship’s’ mood.

"Fine, keep it to yourself then."

He laughed heartily. "HAHA, I know you miss me. However, I think I’ll enjoy myself for a few more days before I head back. Alright, I’m not chatting with you anymore; a beauty is knocking at my door."

She angrily put down her phone. Did that scoundrel really call a beauty to his room in the middle of the night?

With his sleazy personality, it was entirely possible. He’s always looking to get laid; could he really hold out for so long?

She set down her coffee cup. A sudden impulse struck her, and she immediately dialed his number. She let it ring twice, then hung up.

After a short wait, she called again, let it ring once, and then hung up.

After she repeated this several times, he finally couldn’t take it anymore and called back, his voice laced with irritation, "Miss, what on earth do you think you’re doing? Are you harassing me?"

She gave a sly laugh. "HEE HEE."

Wan Donglin was caught between amusement and annoyance.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

He immediately ended the call, his smile vanishing.

A "beauty" stood in the doorway.

She had short, neat hair and was already in her forties. She emanated a powerful aura. This was his cousin, Wan Dongxue.

Wan Dongxue’s expression was grave. "Donglin, there’s a major financial problem with the company in the south."
