The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 574 - 571 Descendants 2_1
Oh my God.
It was like their first night together. She was shivering, her body cold, just lying there with her eyes tightly shut, unmoving.
Nevertheless, he had claimed her smoothly.
He still remembered that moment: the pain had been so intense for her, it was as if a live shrimp had been suddenly tossed into a wok of boiling oil, and she had shot up instantly. If he hadn’t held onto her tightly, she would have bolted out the door. After that, she had shown no reaction, just lying obediently in his arms with tear-filled eyes.
His extreme tenderness towards her began with the pride he felt at that moment.
He would never forget the exhilarating joy, as if he had suddenly come to possess the most beautiful thing in the entire world...
He treated her with exceptional gentleness, always careful with her in his heart, as if she were an exquisite piece of porcelain that might shatter at the slightest touch.
So, how could he possibly bear to let her have an abortion?
That was why, when he first learned of her pregnancy, he had been secretly overjoyed. He imagined that in the blink of an eye, the child would just pop out, skipping and hopping about, able to talk and sing, and call them "Mama" and "Papa." He had even felt smug and immensely proud. That peerless work of art was finally his alone. From then on, whether flowers bloomed or withered, they did so beautifully, existing solely within his world.
Having savored such beauty for so long, he found her departure exceptionally unbearable.
"Yan Xixi, if you take even half a step out this door today, I won’t let you come back, even if you beg me in the future."
How ridiculous and feeble that threat sounded now.
「And so she left, and more than a year had passed.」
During that year and more, Heaven knew what lengths he had gone to. He had meticulously arranged for people to watch her, to keep an eye on her, terrified she might fall into another man’s arms—be it Huang Xiaojue or some other wolf. Only as a last resort did he contrive to become her ’online contact.’ This allowed him to accurately monitor her every move, launch targeted strikes, and finally, eliminate all his love rivals completely.
Otherwise, how could someone "coincidentally" show up and cause a scene every single time Huang Xiaojue was about to stay the night? And otherwise, how could Liang Sheng, Wang Xiaohao, and the others have met such gruesome fates?
You can mess with anything else—but not my wife! Anything can be shared, but how could a wife be shared?
Now, finally, he held her soft, warm, fragrant body in his arms once more.
He was extraordinarily joyful and exceptionally gentle. His movements were even more careful, as if opening a treasure vault for the first time. He was terrified of jeopardizing this incredibly hard-won prize—after all, one cannot enter Treasure Mountain and return empty-handed.
And yet, he also yearned to give her the most tender love.
Whenever he thought about this, he would feel indignant... Before, when she didn’t love him, she had been so cold, so distant. There was a time he had desperately wished she would be proactive, genuinely filled with love for him. But, right up until they separated, he had never witnessed it. It was as if, for her, there had never been even the slightest hint of lingering affection... What a profound torment to a man’s pride.
At this thought, he smiled, a truly wicked expression.
This sinister smile met her gaze as she hesitantly opened her eyes. A shiver went through her. That man... why was he smiling like that?
Her gaze drifted downwards, finally settling on his bronze skin... Her breath caught. Oh my heavens!
This guy actually had abs—so strong! Really nice.
She recalled how, previously, she had always just closed her eyes and endured it. Her heart was filled with humiliation, only wanting to get the ordeal over with quickly so she could escape. Who would have paid any attention to whether his physique was good or bad? But today, she saw it distinctly.
