The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Wan Donglin didn’t answer her, but after a moment of silence, he handed over two printed A4 sheets.

Xu Xiaoya was puzzled and took a look, only to find that it was filled with a dense schedule of various phone calls and appointments.

It’s not just the call logs; the most overwhelming part is the schedule. In two days, he handled nearly twenty affairs, with four or five meetings, five conferences, and various other tasks...

Xu Xiaoya felt dizzy just looking at it, realizing how truly busy a big shot can be.

And upon closer inspection, it was exactly the two days when Yan Xixi went missing.

Third Young Master, what does this mean?

Wan Donglin explained, "During those two days, I answered dozens of phone calls, attended several meetings, met with over a dozen groups of people, and even had an important closed-door conference..."

Because, at that time, it was the critical period when Old Zhou’s influence completely collapsed, leading to a reshuffle in the business world. In other words, it was his final push to reach the peak of his career—hence, he stayed up late to handle so many tasks.

Those days were truly hectic.

But Xu Xiaoya was confused: What did the Third Young Master mean?

He spoke slowly and cautiously, "I know that Xixi is definitely angry with me for hanging up on her that day... However, I was genuinely too busy those days, and strangely enough, unlike before, I wouldn’t usually hang up on her, no matter how busy... But that day, for some reason, I just did..."

Xu Xiaoya seemed to half-understand.

Wan Donglin continued slowly, "If Xixi were to contact anyone in this world again, it would definitely be you..."

"..."

"Xu Xiaoya, if she contacts you, please be sure to let me know..."

Xu Xiaoya suddenly realized.

It turned out that these two pages of schedules were not meant for Yan Xixi but for herself—to gain her trust and explain his actions that day.

"But, Third Young Master, why do you think Xixi would contact me? Although I really hope she still has the chance to reach out to me... but..."

She couldn’t say more: separated by life and death, how to connect?

Did he think it was a soul summoning?

But Wan Donglin was earnest, "Xu Xiaoya, just remember, if she contacts you, please make sure to tell me immediately."

"Third Young Master, do you mean Xixi is still alive?"

"Very likely!"

Xu Xiaoya was utterly stunned.

It was like hearing some outrageous fantasy, her eyes widened, unsure of how to react—is the Third Young Master crazy or is she?

However, she couldn’t refute it.

Because Wan Donglin didn’t look like a madman at all: in fact, he appeared mentally sound, dressed in a suit, full of vigor... if this is a madman, then there are no sane people in the world.

"Although I haven’t found Xixi for now, I firmly believe she’s still alive. The reason she hasn’t appeared must be due to unavoidable circumstances; I’m worried she might be in danger, and if we don’t find her in time, the consequences could be unimaginable... So, Xu Xiaoya, please, any unfamiliar number or message, be sure to pay attention and notify me promptly..."

Xu Xiaoya took a long sigh, "Alright... Third Young Master, I hope so too."

She watched Wan Donglin leave. In shock, she didn’t send him off in the usual respectful manner.
