The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 824 - 821: Thunderous Counterattack (Part 1)

Yan Xixi said lightly, "If she really did collude with Huang’s mom, then Huang’s mom is just trying to show off in front of us. Since that’s the case, why don’t we let her show off properly? Zhou Ting is pregnant, Rina is pregnant, all the women she likes are pregnant, ’descendants without end,’ letting her have her fun isn’t such a bad thing, is it?"

Xu Xiaoya was dumbfounded.

When the driver brought the car around, the four of them sat around drinking tea.

Rina smiled charmingly. "Everyone, I’m going to the restroom for a bit."

Zhou Ting also smiled. "I’ll go with you."

Only Wan Donglin and Huang Xiaojue were left.

The two of them each sat on a sofa, exchanged a look, full of implication. Wan Donglin smiled and said blandly, "I heard, Mr. Huang, that things with you and Zhou Ting are almost settled?"

Huang Xiaojue’s expression didn’t change. "No matter how fast I move, I can’t compare to you, Mr. Wan."

"You flatter me."

Huang Xiaojue was still indifferent. "Mr. Wan really is full of surprises. With your ex, you were together four or five years and never got married. And now, what do you know, a flash marriage hits the news. Truly unexpected."

Wan Donglin was still all smiles. "That’s where you don’t quite understand, Mr. Huang. When a man’s in a relationship and actually wants to get married, he’ll do it in a year or two, or even a month or two. But if he’s not going to marry, then even seven or eight years won’t lead to marriage. It’s just that the novelty’s long gone and he’s sick of it. After he switches to someone new, while the freshness is still there, he’ll get married right away..."

Rage was roaring in Huang Xiaojue’s chest.

So men really are like this.

If he wants to marry you, how long you’ve been together doesn’t matter; if he doesn’t, then forget four or five years—he won’t marry you even after seven or eight.

He had once been sure Wan Donglin and Yan Xixi would definitely get married—at the very least, that Wan Donglin loved Yan Xixi. Yet unexpectedly, in less than three months, the two of them actually broke up, and wedding news about Wan Donglin and Rina came out. The two of them even went public, showing up everywhere together, not the least bit discreet.

And Yan Xixi?

What about her?

Seeing his anger written all over his face, Wan Donglin was still utterly unconcerned. "Don’t rush to feel indignant on her behalf, Mr. Huang. The breakup was brought up by Yan Xixi. We were done long before. I didn’t cheat, you know?"

Huang Xiaojue said in a low voice, "In reality, you were just waiting for her to be the one to bring up the breakup, weren’t you?"

Wan Donglin laughed. "Men do understand men."

Four or five years gone, a woman’s youth is limited; she can’t afford to waste it. He kept refusing to marry, but he also didn’t want to bear the stigma of being the heartless bastard, so he waited for the woman to ask for a breakup first. Even if she only said it in a moment of anger, it was exactly what he’d been hoping for.

That’s why, after so many couples have been together seven or eight years and finally break up, the woman always sinks into agony and can’t climb out, while the man often goes straight into a flash marriage.

Why?

Because he’s been waiting to say "break up" for a long time, and once it’s over, he’s terrified you’ll come back and cling to him and demand he take responsibility. So he immediately dives into a flash love and flash marriage, cutting off your hope of getting back together. At the very least, with a brand new beauty, that sense of freshness will last a bit longer.

Looking at that face of his, Huang Xiaojue hated him so much he could almost stride over and smack him.

Rina is pregnant!

And according to the media, it’s already two or three months.

And he dares say he didn’t cheat?

He’d schemed every which way to win her, only to never cherish her.

But he held himself back, just took a deep breath, and said lightly, "Then let me congratulate you, Mr. Wan, on getting what you wanted so soon."

"Haha, and aren’t you the same, Mr. Huang? From now on you’re a proper Prince Consort, a son-in-law who rides the dragon. Plenty of men could only dream of the position you’re in."
