The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 521 - 518: Proposal 12_1

A series of puzzled expressions crossed his face. "Miss, why are you always so quiet? Is it because you think you’re too ugly and you’re afraid I’ll despise you? Not at all. I think even though you’re just barely passable, I don’t plan on despising you. We can make do..."

I will ignore him, I will just ignore him.

At that moment, he was fiddling with the fluffy tiger-head shoe—the very one he had bought back when she was pregnant.

Holding the shoe, his thoughts raced: what a shame about the child they had lost.

No, we have to make a baby right away.

He wasn’t getting any younger. Although Lady Liu Daqing didn’t nag him about it every day, she was secretly exasperated that he hadn’t amounted to much. The damned rascal had fooled around for so many years and still hadn’t produced a child. So useless. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

This time, he absolutely had to achieve something to show Lady Liu Daqing.

"Miss, pack your things and move into my place as soon as possible. Actually, you don’t need to bring much. Just lock your door and come straight over. I’ll come get you tomorrow."

"..."

"If you don’t move in, watch out for other women moving in on your cheese."

Who cares? Whoever wants it can have it.

"Miss, if you don’t want to move in, that’s fine too. Then I’ll move into your place... It might be a little small, but who’s to blame for your lack of cooperation? I’ll move in tomorrow..."

Yan Xixi, afraid he might actually move in, grew anxious. "No! Absolutely not!"

"Why not? I’m begging to ’merge,’ begging to ravage you! Miss, do a good deed for the day!"

"Begging to ’merge’... We *must* ’merge’... I can’t take it anymore..."

"I don’t believe you don’t want it, not even a little. Miss, humans are all products of nature; we must follow nature’s rules. I don’t advocate celibacy... Especially women, they must have ’that,’ and they can’t have too little of it... It’s said that the nourishing effects of ’that something’ far surpass high-end skincare products. Women with harmonious intimate lives are the ones who truly glow. They look younger and younger..."

Nutcase.

"Besides, what’s the point of you living all alone? You don’t even have anyone to talk to. And think about it, spring passes, autumn comes, and in a few months, it’ll be winter. How cold will it be sleeping alone? Wouldn’t it be much warmer with someone to hold you? ...Miss, ’merging’ sooner rather than later is the sensible thing to do..."

Yan Xixi really felt like she was going to lose her mind. I really shouldn’t have met him! The moment we did, this brute dropped all pretense. Look at him, showing his true colors! Giving me a sex-ed lecture in the middle of the night!

Perhaps it was his utterly absurd ’merging theory’ that had disturbed her so much she tossed and turned all night. When she finally, with great difficulty, drifted into a hazy sleep, she actually had a strange dream. An erotic dream? She couldn’t recall. But if not, it still felt decidedly odd.

She rolled out of bed, washed up, and got ready. Before heading to her main job, she still needed to go to the shop. It was Xu Xiaoya’s day off today.

She held the regular meeting and then reviewed the new salary system they were preparing to implement. The shop’s business was gradually improving, so employee welfare naturally became a priority on the agenda. They planned small weekly activities and a large monthly event. Boosting employee morale was key.

Sitting for too long had made her legs feel stiff and her lower back ache. She stood up, casually swung her arms a bit to stretch her muscles, and then prepared to go out and check the sales floor.

Customer traffic was steadily increasing, and the sales assistants’ service was appropriately understated yet enthusiastic. Yan Xixi casually glanced around when her gaze suddenly landed on the back of a female customer. The woman had her back to her and was examining the various samples displayed on the decorative wall. She was tall, with salt-and-pepper hair, but her posture was erect, and she seemed very spry.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Why does that silhouette look so familiar?

The woman slowly turned around. Yan Xixi got a clear look at her and froze on the spot.

Oh no, oh no, what am I going to do now? Aunt Huang was one thing, but now Liu Daqing is here! And the last time I was in front of Liu Daqing, I told so many lies and played all sorts of little tricks—she must think I’m a complete fraud! What on earth am I supposed to do?
