The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 872 - 869: Life and Death, Part 8

At that moment, Yan Xixi was happily eating hand-torn beef.

This delicacy was exceptionally outstanding in a foreign land.

Without washing her hands, she touched the greasy, latest model phone screen, seeing the photo of the two of them on the lock screen... That was taken in midair at thirty thousand feet, right before they landed, after an entwined embrace.

She could never forget that extreme surprise; after acting cutesy and sulking, thinking he would be furious, he instead went to great lengths to change his ticket, getting a seat right next to hers... From that moment on, a sense of security was thoroughly established.

It’s like being a spoiled child; you suddenly become reckless because you know how incredibly loved you are, so why fear his anger?

After all, he would never really get mad at you.

Just like the beef being chewed in her mouth, the more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes—this was his extreme pampering and her extreme happiness, and for a long time, she always felt her happiness was beyond measure.

Many international students, unless you’re the wealthy or connected second generation, often face various pressures studying for two years of a master’s degree, working to earn money, and even after returning home, may not find good job prospects, and life is far from the glamorous image imagined by many.

But she was different from them; studying was just studying, purely out of interest and to broaden her horizons, with no employment pressure, everything was fully prepared, and someone was there to take care and attend to her... Obviously just a grassroots girl, yet suddenly became like a princess.

How could she not love the rough-around-the-edges guy but love someone else?

Absolutely not possible.

Huang Xiaojue doesn’t stand a chance, Li Zhen even less... Even if all the men under the heaven were combined, none would last.

So, even if Li Zhen suddenly appeared, she was unwilling to be alone with him, insisting that Li Mingyu accompany her.

However, just to tease the rough-around-the-edges man a bit, ha, she thought it would be good to make him worry.

She hummed a little tune, plotting in her mind, thinking of how to give the rough-around-the-edges guy a surprise.

As for what the surprise would be, hmm hmm hmm, her eyes darted swiftly.

She threw herself onto the bed, raised her feet, took a series of selfies, arms, hands, neck, collarbone... all bare... She giggled, rough-around-the-edges guy, the bare photos are coming... This time, I’m not lying to you...

The photos were sent, but there was no reply.

"Hey, rough-around-the-edges guy, are you mad?"

Still no reply.

She wondered if he was angry because of Li Zhen?

"Hey, rough-around-the-edges guy, I promise you, if Li Zhen suddenly comes next time, I definitely won’t pay attention to him, I refuse to meet, no, I won’t even let him come at all... Is this okay?"

Still no reply.

"Rough-around-the-edges guy, I only love you... hmm hmm... In my whole life, you’re the only man... Look, I am so devoted to you, let me tell you, you won’t find a girl more loyal to you in this world, cherish it well..."

Suddenly, she felt herself being so cheesy and vulgar, yet her heart was still sweetly content. Especially the romantic scene of ’studying’ in his embrace, those profound gentle feelings.

"Rough-around-the-edges guy... I suddenly want to ’study’ in your arms again..."

Even after this, no reply?

Annoyed, she called his phone, but no one answered.

On the fourth call, her heart suddenly trembled.

It was an unprecedented strange feeling, and somehow, her heart pounded rapidly like it was about to burst out of her chest. In her entire life, she had never had such a frightening intuition, rushing out the door shouting, "Lin Zhiyun..."
