The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Xu Xiaoya was surprised: "What is it?"

"On the day Yan Xixi graduated from South Country University, I filmed the whole event with a DV camera..."

He handed her a disc: "I don’t know if she’ll ever come back, but I want to give you this gift."

Xu Xiaoya was overjoyed, stuttering: "Li Zhen... Thank you... Really, thank you so much... This means a lot to me..."

That was her last smiling face left in this world.

Li Zhen shook his head sadly: "I’ve watched this scene dozens of times, and I can almost recite every detail... I don’t know how to put it... I want to share it with someone..."

Under the lens, she was radiant, brimming with vigor, charming and graceful. At that moment, even all the roses in the world couldn’t match her smiling face. After the incident, he almost went crazy, watching it repeatedly; each time he watched, his heart broke again.

"Li Zhen, what are your plans for the future?"

He paused for a moment, then said quietly: "I’ll handle some things here, and maybe in three to five months, I’ll return home to develop."

"Why?"

"I came to South Country for Yan Xixi... Now that she’s no longer here, what’s the point of staying?"

"..."

"Miss Xu, there’s something I need to ask of you..."

"Please go ahead."

"Please don’t give this disc to anyone else."

Seeing Xu Xiaoya’s look of surprise, he immediately explained: "It’s like this, this was privately filmed by me, and I don’t want it to be circulated or shared with anyone else. Miss Xu, you’re Xixi’s best friend, which is why I’m giving it to you..."

Xu Xiaoya immediately understood, solemnly: "Don’t worry, I promise it won’t be circulated."

After seeing Li Zhen off, the two were speechless.

Zhou Xiaoxuan snorted coldly: "Did you see? Li Zhen obviously doesn’t want you to give the disc to the third young master. Clearly, they already know the third young master has changed his heart... sigh, Yan Xixi really was blind, not to mention Huang Xiaojue, even this Li Zhen is a thousand times better than the third young master... I used to envy her for having so much, with her boutiques and attending South Country University... but now I don’t envy her at all, having these things without being able to enjoy them... coming empty-handed, leaving empty-handed... sigh, life’s just damn meaningless..."

Xu Xiaoya didn’t listen to her rambling and immediately put the disc into the laptop.

...

At the hotel lobby entrance, someone hurriedly approached.

Li Zhen almost brushed past him.

He looked at Li Zhen, and Li Zhen looked at him.

"Li Zhen, what are you doing here?"

Li Zhen replied coldly: "I’m here to gather some information..."

"Thank you, but you don’t have to go to the trouble in the future, I’ll find out myself."

Li Zhen smiled, but his voice was unusually cold: "Does it matter whether I come or not to you?"

"..."

"Yan Xixi has no legal relatives, I’m her classmate, her schoolmate, it’s only natural for me to come and look. I’m curious, Mr. Wan, in what capacity are you here? Is there any point for you to come? Why waste your precious time?"

"..."

Wan Donglin had nothing to say, and he turned and left.

At the door of the room on the seventh floor, he stopped.

He thought for a moment, then knocked on the door.

It was Zhou Xiaoxuan who opened the door, genuinely stunned this time: "Third young master?"

Inside, Xu Xiaoya, who was watching the disc, flinched and immediately turned off the screen.

The two of them—were the true "relatives" representing Yan Xixi.
