The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 595 - 592 Cost 2_1

What about the child? Would it be considered illegitimate? Knowing Yan Xixi’s temper, she hated the idea of having an illegitimate child and would do everything possible to break up with me. It took a lot to finally win her over. Where would I be if another issue arose? What did all this mean?

"Donglin, I know this request may seem unreasonable. But at this crucial moment, I hope you can do me this one favor..."

"I can agree to almost anything else, Zhou Ting, but I’m afraid I can’t comply with this particular request."

Anger flared like a wildfire in her heart. Zhou Ting knew her request was irrational. However, she was torn between her family’s reputation and the deeply rooted superiority complex of a pampered heiress. Was she supposed to let some nobody walk all over her pride?

Despite this, she managed to keep her jealousy under control, maintaining a calm smile.

Wan Donglin observed her expression and suggested, "There’s a better solution: why don’t you get married before I do?"

Zhou Ting was momentarily speechless.

She had already supported Huang Xiaojue’s advancement; didn’t that imply she intended to be with him?

Zhou Ting then responded coolly, "Fine. Then I’ll strive to get married before you."

Zhou Ting glanced at him, then drove the car back to their starting point. The moment Wan Donglin stepped out of the car, she sped off.

Wan Donglin clutched his phone, the recent scene replaying in his mind. A shiver of lingering fear ran through him. Zhou Ting was bold, intelligent, and rational, but when a woman’s temper flared, the consequences were truly unpredictable. He gave a wry smile. No wonder people say women are tigers.

On the way, Wan Donglin kept wondering: Has Huang Xiaojue really been swayed? Or, when faced with such a golden opportunity, who would willingly give it up?

He had no idea that as Zhou Ting drove away, her palms were also damp with a thin layer of sweat.

At that moment, she had an overwhelming urge to crash the car into Wan Donglin and kill him. Especially when he’d uttered those words, "I’m afraid I can’t comply with this particular request," she had truly wanted to see his blood splatter on the spot.

She understood clearly: the Wan Family was gradually trying to cut off their past influences and was indeed starting to look down on her father. Just you wait, she thought, your time for regret will come.

The car stopped at the entrance of the clubhouse. Zhou Ting took a moment to compose her turbulent thoughts before slowly walking in. She had chosen this location because it was one of the corporation’s properties, making it more conducive to private discussions or important meetings.

When she entered, Huang Xiaojue looked up. A large stack of documents lay before him. Evidently, he had already meticulously gone through all of them. Under normal circumstances, an ordinary person would have no access to this kind of material. Even though he had experienced a meteoric rise within the company over the past three-plus years, delving into such in-depth stock market information was still far beyond his reach...

Sure enough, business is an information war. Only those with sufficient connections can obtain first-hand intelligence.

"Xiaojue, sorry to keep you waiting. The traffic was bad." Zhou Ting offered a smile of apology and sat down opposite him.

Huang Xiaojue stated bluntly, "Zhou Ting, I don’t think I’m suited for this position."

Zhou Ting wasn’t surprised. She had anticipated this and was already prepared.

"I believe this position aligns well with your background and previous studies. It’s not as if you’re a complete layman. Besides, compared to the other candidates for this role, your professional competence is far superior. Take a look at these files..."
