The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 615 - 612: Are you breaking up with me? 7_1

She just giggled.

Previously, he had to take precautions himself. This was to avoid affecting her exams, and he also didn’t want her body to be harmed by long-term oral medication. Now that he could ease up, he’d opted for a permanent solution.

"Xixi, have you missed me these days?"

She said resentfully, "No."

Yet, she leaned in to kiss his lips and affectionately rested her head on his arm.

His arm bent slightly as he asked, "Has that kid Li Zhen shamelessly tried to add you again?"

"HMPH."

His arm immediately tightened. "Did he add you or not? Be honest."

She widened her eyes. "Are you jealous?"

"Jealous? TSK, TSK. What a joke. Would I be jealous of some young punk? Xixi, I’m worried he’ll lead you astray. Turning into a creativity-lacking dullard like him—what’s interesting about that?"

PAH! Is it that hard to admit you’re jealous?

He immediately snatched her phone and scrolled through it. Sure enough, Li Zhen had been blocked and not re-added. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He wrapped his large arm around her, pulling her close. "That’s my good girl. Remember, you’re not allowed to add him ever again, understand?"

"Hey, I can only make sure I don’t add him myself, but I can’t stop him from trying to add me."

"If he tries to add you, just don’t accept. Simple as that."

She giggled. This guy, he’s practically sharper than a hunting dog.

After they had laughed and joked around for a good while, she suddenly remembered something. "I saw the financial news," she said. "Lately, there’s been a flood of reports about the Wan Family expanding investments. This timing... it’s obvious someone is stirring up trouble behind the scenes. Otherwise, why would these reports surface now, of all times?"

Wan Donglin remained very calm. This is an investment, a move to develop new sectors. It’s like the global top 500 companies; they have businesses in many countries, and that’s not an issue for them. The enemy, however, has other designs. But how would uninformed investors know the difference between the two?

She was very puzzled. "This flood of news... was it really orchestrated by them from behind the scenes?"

He countered, "Xixi, are you scared?"

She nodded. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t scared.

"Could it be true what the news says? Has the company really reached a critical juncture?"

He thought for a moment, then answered seriously, "The company’s business is indeed deteriorating, but we haven’t hit rock bottom yet. However, the crisis of not being able to expand is significant and shouldn’t be underestimated. For example, how do you get a pig to climb a tree?

"Plan A: Visionary Motivation. Offer the pig a wonderful vision. Tell it that it *is* a monkey.

"Plan B: Performance Review. Tell the pig that if it can’t climb the tree, it will be the main course at tonight’s feast—a whole roasted pig.

"Plan C: The Shortcut. Chop down the tree, let the pig lie on it, and take a commemorative photo.

"Usually, large companies will choose the first plan, and medium-sized companies the second. Small companies, however, often choose the third.

"If certain debts become uncontrollable, then it really will be time to ’slaughter the pig’."

Wan Donglin smiled. "Xixi, don’t you worry about these things. You’ve studied day and night for the last six months. Now you can finally rest properly. Enjoy yourself, have some fun, and then it will be the perfect time to head off to university."

She played with his hand. "You big lug," she said, "will you be in any danger?"

He acted nonchalantly. "Silly girl, what danger could I possibly be in? Relax. Oh, by the way, that pest Yang Wei has been making a scene at the store again, hasn’t he?"

"How did you know?"

"He managed to become a ’Sesame Official,’ so the little man is flush with success and strutting around, isn’t he?"

Yan Xixi hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Has Huang Xiaojue really completely sided with Zhou Ting?"

Wan Donglin raised an eyebrow. "And what do you think?"

She didn’t know how to answer that.
