The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 633 - 630: Missing 7_1

She snorted coldly, pointing at his nose, "Watch your mouth, brute! Don’t disrespect your father-in-law!"

He pleaded earnestly, "If you don’t think far ahead, you’ll soon face troubles, Xixi..."

Suddenly, she jumped up and hugged his neck, muttering, "You big oaf, I still have you, right? So isn’t it fine as long as you always take care of me? Why do we need to worry about the future? I don’t want to be so tired, okay? Besides, my leg hurts... Look, just look..."

Wan Donglin wanted to say more, but when he saw the blue and purple bruises on her leg, which clearly wouldn’t heal anytime soon, he couldn’t bring himself to continue.

「A week later, the bruises finally faded away.」

The weather was beautiful, with brilliant sunshine. Wan Donglin was out on some business, and Yan Xixi also went to look around the store.

Xu Xiaoya had been very worried ever since she heard about Xixi’s car accident. However, since Donglin was taking care of her, it hadn’t been appropriate for Xu Xiaoya to visit. They spoke on the phone every day, yet she still felt uneasy not having seen Xixi in person. When she finally saw Xixi, she examined her from head to toe. "Xixi, are you okay? You really scared me."

Xixi giggled. "It’s nothing, just a few minor scratches."

Xiaoya saw that Xixi looked well. After staying indoors for several days, her complexion was fair with a rosy glow, a clear indication that she was comfortable and happy. This finally set Xiaoya’s mind at ease.

"How’s business lately?"

Xu Xiaoya perked up at this. "Look at the report, Xixi. We’re expected to hit a peak this quarter. The first half of the year has many holidays—Labor Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Qingming Festival... We’re getting prepared."

Yan Xixi laughed. "Even Qingming Festival counts?"

"Why not? Whenever there’s a holiday of two or three consecutive days, the number of shoppers increases significantly. Just you watch, we’re going to hit a new peak this year!"

After reviewing all the data, Yan Xixi suddenly sighed. "Ah, it’s a pity my car got trashed. It really hurts."

Xu Xiaoya laughed. "Just buy a new one. A car is replaceable. The most important thing is that you’re okay; that’s a huge relief."

"But it was a gift from you. It’s in the shop now. They said it can be fixed, but it won’t be as good as new."

Actually, it’s almost totaled. But I love this car so much that Wan Donglin asked the repair shop to do their best. Many parts are on backorder, so it will likely take a very long time, even if they can fix it.

Xu Xiaoya looked worried. "Xixi, this accident isn’t related to Yang Wei, is it?"

Yan Xixi burst out laughing. "You’re overthinking it. Yang Wei isn’t that capable. The investigation afterward made it clear; it was just a drunk driver."

Xu Xiaoya finally relaxed.

After chatting casually for a while, Yan Xixi suddenly asked, "Oh, by the way, didn’t you meet that guy for a blind date last time? How have the dates been going?"

"Don’t even mention it. Men... I really don’t know what to say."

The man introduced this time was quite dependable. He was a programmer in a large company, a man in a STEM field—honest, with a decent income and a respectable family background. Yan Xixi had met him once. He wasn’t what you’d call ’tall, rich, and handsome,’ but he seemed down-to-earth and sincere, definitely not a deceitful type.

"What happened? This one’s no good either?"

"Do you know what he said on our third date? He directly asked me about my income. Of course, I didn’t tell him the truth. I said I just work at this boutique with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan. And then, he asked me, ’How much can you contribute to buying a house?’"

Yan Xixi was speechless.
