The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 794 - 791: Where is the Promised Integrity 4_1

Her soft, coquettish voice was enough to melt anyone’s bones. He could swear this woman was the most affected and annoying creature in the world... Yet, as he gazed at her beauty—her face as delicate as a petal, her crimson lips—he was seized by a sudden urge to bite her. Yes, to take a hard bite of those luscious lips, biting hard enough to make her yelp.

That thought sent a peculiar sensation through him.

But alas, the timing was off, and the place inappropriate.

All he could manage was a heavy cough. "Hmph," he muttered, "What’s there to see?"

She raised her finger almost right up to his eyelashes. "Look... look at my hand... isn’t my hand especially beautiful and slender?"

He was at a loss for words and took her hand away, discontentedly replying, "Didn’t you not want the ring? Why are you wearing it?"

She pouted and mumbled, "I told you to look at my hand, not the ring... Hmph... it’s my hand that’s beautiful, got it?"

"..."

"Look, my hand is so fair, my fingers so long, doesn’t it make the ring look incredibly posh?"

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Darling, could you be a little less self-absorbed?

"Hmph, if it weren’t for me wearing this ring, it wouldn’t look good on any other woman you gave it to..."

He felt like he was about to cough up blood. He could only suffer inwardly.

"Please, miss, your fingers are far too stunning and classy. This ring is unworthy of you. Just take it off and give it back to me..."

In response, she quickly pulled her hand away and hid it. "In your dreams. Would I return it to you?"

She laughed uncontrollably. She had been carrying the ring with her all along, reluctant to throw it away or return it to him. You think I’m stupid? This ring is really expensive, okay?

She hadn’t dared to wear it previously, fearing it would attract unwanted attention. After all, it’s better for a single woman not to flaunt her wealth. But now? What was there to fear?

Now she had her Big Foot with her.

So, having put on the sizeable diamond ring, she strutted about, full of self-satisfaction. The more she looked at it, the more she loved it, and felt it made her hand look even more beautiful.

He watched her expressive face. Indeed, he had never seen such a rich variety of expressions: how her eyelashes fluttered, how gentle her eyes were, those large, black eyes that seemed to reflect one’s shadow... so adorable.

In all the years he had known her, she had never seemed this cute.

He suddenly felt that this journey was delightful—not because of the luxurious first class or the destination—but because of who was by his side.

Along the way, she kept chattering quietly.

"Big Foot, you don’t know how little I packed... just one big suitcase. I didn’t want to check in my luggage; it’s too troublesome, as I fear I might forget where to retrieve it from... so, I removed all the stuff I had packed earlier. Apart from the essentials, I haven’t brought anything..."

"..."

"I left behind all my snacks, chili sauce, and fermented tofu—such a pity... Sigh... if I had known you were coming, I would’ve brought all of that and definitely checked in a super big piece of luggage. Hmph! It’s all your fault, Big Foot! Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you’d definitely chase after me?"

"..."

"You don’t know, I was super scared when I heard about the stopover. But I’m not scared now. I have never been to Tokyo; I really want to look around... but it seems there might not be enough time..."
