The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 869 - 866: Parting in Life and Death 5

"Yan Xixi, let’s agree on this. For the next two years, we are just ordinary classmates. When you graduate and decide to make a choice, if you still don’t love me by then, I absolutely won’t bother you anymore, okay?"

Yan Xixi held her breath, almost suffocating herself.

But she was still very resolute: "Li Zhen, don’t hold any hope at all. You don’t have to wait for two years; I can answer you right now. My decision will never change."

"Who can say what will happen in two years? I once asked some experienced seniors, and they told me that at the beginning of a breakup, women always think they’ll never be able to walk out of the shadow, never love another man again, but time heals everything, right?..."

It wasn’t until the taxi to the airport drove far away and her figure was completely out of sight that Li Zhen let out a long sigh: Yan Xixi, I really don’t want to lose even the slightest chance. Whether to love you is my freedom, whether to accept is your freedom.

If I try hard, there’s still a chance.

Just giving up would mean all the effort was in vain, wouldn’t it?

Returning home, the door was open, and Lin Zhiyun was moving things inside.

This person always disappears mysteriously; Yan Xixi hadn’t seen him for days.

She walked over curiously, and upon seeing, oh my: napa cabbage, dried radish, red tofu, spicy beef, hot pot ingredients, even Pixian bean paste and all kinds of chicken feet marinated in chili oil, bags of chili powder, Sichuan pepper powder...

After eating Western-style meals like steak and sandwiches for several days, her mouth was about to become tasteless.

She was overjoyed, took a bag of beef jerky and tore it open, strips and strips of premium hand-torn yak meat, with hints of chili powder, bursting with a rich aroma.

She tore off a strip and stuffed it in her mouth, mumbling: "So good, so much delicious food again..."

Lin Zhiyun politely said: "Third Young Master sent it over. He guessed you’ve almost finished the stock, so he got the most authentic ones..."

It wasn’t "a bit," it was a lot.

The rough man is always like Santa Claus—more useful than Aladdin’s magic lamp.

Yan Xixi was almost dancing with joy, like an old farmer looking at a courtyard full of fat pigs, cows, and sheep during autumn harvest, granaries full of rice.

She was so happy, she ate two big strips of hand-torn beef before stopping.

She took her phone and ran to the study, immediately taking a selfie and sending it over.

"Rough man, the hand-torn beef is so delicious..."

Soon, a reply came: "Silly, what sneaky things have you been up to these past two days?"

She shrugged it off: "Hmph, I don’t believe you don’t know what I’m doing."

Are Ms. Liu and Lin Zhiyun taking his salary for nothing?

The rough man is very cunning, just like when I went back to college, there was always someone watching every move, where would I dare to stray even a bit?

"I warn you, don’t let that Li Zhen kid cause trouble again..."

She laughed heartily, see, is there anything he doesn’t know?

Never mind having an affair, there’s no chance to even play coy.

"If you hadn’t come home on time last night, I’d have punished you..."

She muttered: "He suddenly came running over, didn’t even call beforehand, how was I supposed to know? Can you blame me for that?"

"He didn’t call, you could have avoided seeing him. If unavoidable, just brush him off, right? Is there really a need to accompany him on outings and meals?"

Such a jealous husband’s attitude.
