The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 833 - 830: Thunderous Counterattack 10

At that time, Yan Xixi was busy in the kitchen.

When the milk boiled, she saw the news popup. But she only glanced at the headline and closed it.

Hot milk coffee, the kind with fresh chocolate sweetness, with the faint fragrance of early blooming osmanthus in the air.

"Xixi, I’ve gotten used to your coffee. I’d definitely find it hard to adjust if I didn’t have it for a while."

Yan Xixi smiled, "I’ve already taught Aunt Yang how to make it. Don’t worry, she won’t do worse than me."

Liu Daqing felt a jolt in his heart.

This girl, she didn’t say, "I’ll make it for you when I come back for winter break" — not like that — she sometimes lies, but she never makes excuses — for most people, they would just smile and say "no problem" — which is just a polite response, not to be taken seriously. Anyway, when the time comes, there’s always an excuse if she doesn’t come back, right?

But Yan Xixi didn’t.

In fact, she is more sincere than most people she knows.

Just like how she has been taking care of her these days, serving her, absolutely from genuine sincerity — which is why she doesn’t want to say anything insincere in front of her again.

Gradually, Liu Daqing truly starts to like this girl, moreover, people are like this, the longer they are together, the deeper the feelings grow.

"Xixi, Donglin hasn’t been home these days, he surely has his reasons..."

Yan Xixi listened quietly.

"I didn’t want to tell you all this at first, but at this point, there’s nothing to hide. It’s about that missing letter..."

"You know, Donglin’s grandfather was prominent during his lifetime, and his father has always held a high position. In their circle, there is a regular closed group that meets. To put it simply, they nominate who they perceive as the best representative... Previously, Old Zhou was definitely not the best candidate, he wasn’t even considered. On the contrary, Old Zhang was always the one they saw as promising... because Old Zhang has deep research in economics, they believe he can better control the scenario..."

Yan Xixi was startled and alarmed.

If the decision of that group was to support Old Zhang, the initial secret letter is incredibly significant. No wonder Old Zhou would be so tense.

"Both Old Zhang and Old Zhou naturally want to obtain this document. Old Zhou wants to destroy it, while Old Zhang wants to make it public... because that would be a fatal blow to Old Zhou..."

A large group of the elders had previously negated Old Zhou, which would naturally make him feel terrible. It would also affect these people’s impression and judgment of him, as well as any future choices.

"To put it severely, if the side we don’t want gets ahead, I fear the Wan Family would face utter disaster... after all, Old Zhou is currently in the limelight, he absolutely cannot let the thing fall into the hands of those he doesn’t want to see it..."

No wonder those pursuers even followed them abroad.

"Donglin spreading the news about breaking up with you is actually out of necessity. I understand that before handling things properly, he certainly wouldn’t want you to fall into any danger..."

"He might not be able to come back tonight either, I think, not because he doesn’t want to, but because he simply cannot come back."

Yan Xixi softly, "Empress Dowager, I understand."

Their sharing such a grand secret with her was enough to prove that she was thoroughly seen as a daughter-in-law.

Liu Daqing and Yan Yuese, "I know, you’ve always been a good child. I just don’t want you to feel too uncomfortable because of this."
