The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

She explained, "Because she had already given me two checks before, one for me and one for Lin Zhiyun... Maybe she felt there was no need to tell us her whereabouts anymore..."

She had reported this matter to Wan Donglin; otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed here all the time.

As servants, naturally, we can’t interfere with the master’s whereabouts. Whether the master calls back or not, what right do we have to constrain them?

"Before the incident happened, who else did she meet?"

"Oh..."

Mrs. Yang suddenly remembered, "The night before she left, she received a phone call saying it was a class reunion... That night, she went out for a long time, presumably returned around..."

She thought carefully, "She probably came back at almost one in the morning... She didn’t drink; two young men brought her back... I’ve seen these two young men before. At the gym, I saw Miss Yan chatting and laughing with them..."

They were classmates from South Country University, with nothing suspicious about them.

"Mr. Wan, let me pour you another cup of coffee..."

He waved his hand tiredly, "Alright, you may go down now."

How could one sleep through the whole night?

In the morning, two cars sped up to arrive.

Wan Donglin was still in the living room when he heard urgent voices from outside, "Was Yan Xixi really on that flight?"

"Mrs. Yang, is this true?"

It was the voices of two young men that made Wan Donglin frown and step out.

In the living room were Li Zhen and Li Mingyu.

The two did seem a bit surprised to see Wan Donglin.

They had seen Yan Xixi’s name on the list and were anxious, inquiring everywhere with no result, holding onto a last bit of hope by coming here.

If they knew Wan Donglin would be here, they wouldn’t have come.

Li Mingyu sighed deeply, "No wonder I couldn’t get through to her before... Alas... I didn’t know she had already returned; I had originally wanted to invite her for another gathering that night..."

The truth was that he felt sorry for his good brother Li Zhen and was holding onto the last bit of hope, wanting to help bring the two together. But since that moment, the phone never connected again.

Mrs. Yang brought coffee, but the two shook their heads and declined.

"Alright, we won’t disturb further, Mrs. Yang, goodbye."

From beginning to end, Li Zhen did not take the initiative to greet Wan Donglin. Li Mingyu thus didn’t speak much either. Despite it being his first time seeing Wan Donglin, he had already completely understood who he was.

The two walked to the door when Wan Donglin spoke, "Li Zhen..."

He stopped and turned back, looking indifferent, "Mr. Wan, what advice do you have?"

"Xixi... that graduation ceremony... did you go?"

Li Zhen turned completely around, very composed, "Yes, I went. That day, I specially rushed back from out of town; although she didn’t invite me, I desperately wanted to see her standing on the stage at that moment because she fought for that moment for three years... I took many photos of her, hoping to eternalize her beauty at that moment..."

"..."

"The night before the graduation ceremony, I asked her if you would come..."

"..."

"She didn’t answer. It was obvious that she was very embarrassed at that moment and couldn’t answer my question... Later, she herself changed the subject... I was still puzzled; she said that after graduation she would marry you. I thought you were her fiancé, so there was no reason not to come at such a time..."

"..."
