The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 626 - 623: Proposal 10_1

For several consecutive nights, Wan Donglin kept working overtime.

Yan Xixi found it strange. She couldn’t understand what he was doing. But his expression was very serious, so she didn’t disturb him. Instead, she personally brewed him some ginseng tea to help him stay alert.

From seven in the morning until four in the afternoon, he remained glued to the computer, completely obsessed.

Yan Xixi had never seen him so tense. After some thought, she decided to stew some soup for him.

When Wan Donglin lifted his head, a sweet aroma wafted over to him. He immediately stood up and stretched, his expression utterly fatigued, yet his face was full of smiles. "What’s this? Why does it smell so wonderful?"

Smiling, she handed him a large tureen of soup. "It’s a Fig and Pear Stew. Try it. It’s good for clearing internal heat and soothing dryness."

He took a sip and found it refreshingly sweet and delicious. He immediately praised, "This is amazing, Xixi! I’ve never had soup this good before."

She said smugly, "Well, I simmered it for a full six or seven hours before it was ready. Of course, it’s delicious!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

It was only then he remembered how busy he had been these past few days. And Xixi has been so well-behaved, never disturbing me, so incredibly patient.

His gaze immediately softened. "Xixi, have you been bored stiff? Come on, I’ll take you somewhere nice tonight."

She smiled enchantingly. "How about this humble servant acts as your chauffeur tonight?"

He laughed heartily. "Such a good girl. You’re finally learning how to care for someone."

Yan Xixi grabbed his arm and pulled him along.

Driving him around for a spin in her own car, she asked with playful arrogance, "Hey, you big oaf, isn’t my car gorgeous?"

He had been about to tell the truth, but one look at a certain someone’s expression and he quickly changed his tune, praising, "It’s truly excellent. A fine car for a fine lady."

She was delighted.

He added leisurely, "It’s just that... the lady is far too beautiful. The car’s class needs an upgrade to truly match her..."

Who doesn’t love hearing sweet words? Her face lit up with a joyful smile.

Wan Donglin was also grinning, about to say something more, when the smile suddenly froze on his face. He saw a large truck abruptly swerve towards them from an auxiliary lane ahead.

They were on the outer ring road highway, and it was late at night. The peak traffic congestion had passed, so large trucks were now permitted. However, this particular truck was moving at an extremely high speed, as if its brakes had failed, and it was hurtling straight for them.

Following his gaze, Yan Xixi’s face instantly turned deathly pale. A long-dormant sense of alarm surged through her, sending shivers down her spine as an instinctive fear gripped her.

Her eyes darted around, instinctively searching for an escape route.

Wan Donglin had already spotted the danger. Cars boxed them in—front, back, and left. The right side was slightly clearer, but a guardrail separated them from a river. If they hit the guardrail, they would plunge into the water.

Although Yan Xixi’s driving skills had improved significantly, how could she not panic when faced with such imminent danger?

Just as the truck was about to ram them, Wan Donglin suddenly roared, "To the left—!"

But there were too many cars there!

In her brief moment of hesitation, Wan Donglin snatched the steering wheel and yanked it hard to the left. CRASH! The oncoming truck lost control, smashed through the guardrail, and plunged headfirst into the river. Their own car veered wildly in an S-pattern, scraping between two other vehicles speeding past...

With a TREMENDOUS CRUNCH, the guardrail shattered completely.

Yan Xixi watched, eyes wide with horror, as their car’s momentum sent it hurtling towards the river. She was completely frozen, unable to react. The right passenger door flew open, then the driver’s door also flew open...

Wan Donglin desperately pulled her with all his might. They rolled on the ground, barely scrambling clear just as the car plunged into the river with a LOUD CRASH.

The entire sequence of events happened too quickly. She stared wide-eyed, not understanding how the car doors had even opened. Instinctively, she clung tightly to him, her whole body trembling. Her vision went black, and she fainted before she could even register any pain...
