The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 666 - 663 Forcing Him to Show Himself 7_1
On the second day, the fire department didn’t come.
They didn’t show up on the third day either.
Not only them, but Old Zheng and his men had also completely disappeared. Yang Wei, even more so, was nowhere to be found.
Xu Xiaoya’s tense nerves finally relaxed. She hadn’t even noticed that Yan Xixi had been the first to arrive and the last to leave every day recently.
Yan Xixi, in fact, had been even more nervous than Xiaoya. Now, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
When Xu Xiaoya pushed the door open, she saw Yan Xixi asleep at her office desk. Lying on her side, she looked extremely exhausted. Perhaps due to staying up all night, she had persistent dark circles under her eyes and looked utterly haggard.
Xu Xiaoya sat down opposite her. Not long after, Yan Xixi woke up.
"Xixi, have a cup of coffee."
Yan Xixi took the coffee and drank it in one gulp.
Soon, her energy returned.
Xu Xiaoya asked in a low voice, "Is there still no news from the Third Young Master?"
Yan Xixi fell silent.
Just as Xu Xiaoya was about to say something more, a knock on the door interrupted her.
"Come in."
A wave of fragrance assailed them. The strong perfume made the air in the room instantly feel thin.
Zhou Xiaoxuan looked a bit uncomfortable seeing Yan Xixi there and said awkwardly, "Oh, you’re both here?"
Yan Xixi said indifferently, "Sit."
Xu Xiaoya, for her part, was quite courteous. "What can I do for you?"
"I’d like to look at some bags. I have a very important party to attend in three months..."
"Which model are you interested in?"
"I heard there’s a special custom-made one. Xiaoya, can you get that one for me?..."
"But there’s a one-year waiting list for that model."
"Could you see if there’s anything you can do? Is it possible to get it a bit sooner?"
"I’ll see what I can do, but I can’t make any guarantees."
Xu Xiaoya softened her stance, and Zhou Xiaoxuan immediately felt relieved.
There were only a few top-tier boutiques in the city. Given Zhou Xiaoxuan’s status, she could buy common items. But when it came to rare, limited editions, she simply wasn’t eligible. The nicer bags she currently owned had mostly been acquired through Xu Xiaoya. Whenever Zhou Xiaoxuan asked, Xu Xiaoya would always help if she could get one.
That was why, despite several falling-outs with Xu Xiaoya, Zhou Xiaoxuan always took the initiative to make peace.
Moreover, ever since Aunt Huang had become friendly with Zhou Ting, Aunt Huang no longer reached out to her. Zhou Ting’s attitude towards her had also distinctly cooled, and they hadn’t contacted each other in a long time. She felt resentful, knowing full well that Zhou Ting actually looked down on her. Added to this were the widespread rumors that Wan Donglin had abandoned Yan Xixi, which made her feel Yan Xixi was rather pitiful too. Once her emotions found this equilibrium, her attitude immediately softened.
After a bit of small talk, she casually mentioned, "There’s a gathering tomorrow night. Are you two going?"
"What kind of gathering?"
"I heard a female star named Rina is coming tomorrow night. Rumor has it she’s been with the Third Young Master recently..."
Xu Xiaoya was taken aback.
She looked at Yan Xixi again, but Yan Xixi’s face showed no emotion.
Zhou Xiaoxuan quickly explained, "Xixi, I really don’t mean any harm... So many rumors are flying around. Some say the Third Young Master has disappeared, others say he’s gone away... Anyway, we don’t know anything for certain. It’s just gossip from our circle. Rina has been particularly high-profile lately, triumphantly proclaiming everywhere that she’s about to marry into a wealthy family..."
Worried Yan Xixi wouldn’t believe her, she rushed to add, "I really don’t mean any harm... What I mean is... what I mean is... Sigh, I don’t know how to say it. I really didn’t come here to upset you... Never mind, I’ll go look at the bags..."
