The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 790 - 787: After Darkness, Light 10_1

She was so terrified she was beside herself, her heart pounding uncontrollably, yet she gritted her teeth and bore it. After all, isn’t everyone alone when they journey to the next world?

She went in first, through the VIP passage to the first-class cabin. The seats next to her were empty. She realized then that the flight she had chosen wasn’t very good. The first-class section was merely average, a far cry from the unimaginable luxury and top-tier services she had envisioned.

In a nutshell, this is a rather shabby international flight.

Well, you get what you pay for; it just has to be good enough.

At least the legroom is ample; unlike economy class passengers, I won’t have to keep my legs cramped.

She was very satisfied.

At first, she curiously observed her surroundings on the international flight. Later, as a continuous stream of passengers began to board, many glanced at her as they passed. She suddenly remembered the stories about women trafficked by international syndicates and grew frightened. She no longer dared to look around. Instead, she asked for an eye mask, covered her eyes, and discreetly leaned inward toward the cabin wall, pretending to sleep. This completely shielded her from the view of other passengers.

Time crawled by.

She couldn’t sleep with the eye mask on. She had no desire for the various expensive red wines on offer, and even soft drinks held no appeal. The thought of the tedious layover is depressing enough, and landing in Boston in the middle of the night will make it even more miserable.

An inexperienced traveler like me is always so timid when venturing out.

What if the plane crashes? Or what if I get murdered? Dying alone in a foreign land... how would I cope?

She was fuming and deeply resented Wan Donglin. Damn it, does he really not understand a woman’s heart? I was just saying things; did he really get angry and decide to ignore me? That’s too despicable! Clearly, this wasn’t true love. If it were true love, would he give up so easily?

It’s a classic case of ’if you don’t court trouble, trouble won’t find you.’ Now look, I’ve really courted disaster for myself.

People who are overly sensitive always think others are even more so.

At that moment, Yan Xixi felt Wan Donglin was the world’s most heartless cad, despicable to the extreme, utterly devoid of any tenderness for women.

Sorrowfully, she thought of her father again. Oh, if only my parents were here! No matter how dramatic or fussy I behaved, Father would have definitely insisted on seeing me off on my long journey.

Sigh, men truly are unreliable. You only get any good out of them when you’re pleasing them; the moment you displease them, they turn cold and ruthless.

Everything is Wan Donglin’s fault, every last bit of it!

She sighed endlessly in her heart, viciously cursing that guy. Fine, so be it! If he wants to ignore me, let him! So what? It’s not like I could count on you when I needed you most. Who would want you in the future anyway?

I swear! I swear! This time, I’m definitely breaking up with him. Not even nine bulls could drag us back together!

Finally, the plane was about to take off.

It was only then that someone occupied the seat next to her.

A flight attendant was serving the gentleman, but she had no interest in glancing at this stranger. Even with her eye mask on, she could hear the man rustling his newspapers and magazines very loudly. It was incredibly rude.

He’s definitely one of those legendary vulgar Tycoons, she thought.

She kept her eyes closed, wearing her eye mask, lost in a world of her own.

The man cleared his throat a few times, probably trying to get her attention, but she paid him no mind, even putting in her earplugs.

Then, the man, apparently finding this dull, stretched his arm over after a moment.

She was annoyed. With so much space, how could he touch me? Was it on purpose?

But being alone, she decided to keep a low profile and avoid trouble, so she just shifted a little to her side. However, after a short while, his arm touched her again.

How strange! Would a Tycoon dare to be so shameless? This is an airplane! Even if he were a human trafficker, would he dare to be this brazen?

Unless he’s an extremely obese man of around five hundred pounds, otherwise, isn’t this ample space enough for him? Really!

She endured it, just cursing inwardly, Damn it, what kind of person is this? Such a creep, no class at all!

Still, she kept her eyes closed, muttering under her breath, I’ll put up with you one last time. If you bother me again, you’re dead meat.

Things were quiet for a moment, and she thought the rascal had finally gotten the hint. But then, suddenly, she felt that groping hand intentionally or unintentionally land on her shoulder. Damn it all! Is there no law anymore? How dare he be so lewd in broad daylight?!

Unable to bear it any longer, she yanked off her eye mask and roared at him, "What do you think you’re doing?"

The man glanced at her coldly, his expression arrogant and haughty. "Miss, what do *you* think I’m doing?"
