The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 600 - 597 Cost 7_1

"Pah! And here I thought you fell in love with me instantly."

He chuckled. "Does it make a difference? Isn’t love at first sight essentially just wanting to jump someone the moment you see them? For example, when a man sees a beautiful woman, deep down he’s thinking, ’I really want to do *that* with you.’ But you can’t just say that, right? If you did, you’d get a slap across the face. So, maybe after enough slaps, men wised up. Over the long course of history, ’I want to sleep with you’ slowly evolved into ’I love you.’ The only thing that slightly distinguishes humans from animals is that we’ve given ourselves an extra pair of pants to cover our shame. But essentially, it’s exactly the same."

Yan Xixi broke out in a sweat. This scoundrel, just listen to his bullshit.

"Why do men so readily pay for women they like?" he continued. "Essentially, they’re footing the bill for their own hormonal urges. At that moment, some creature has wormed its way into their brain. They can’t control themselves; their behavior is completely irrational, frenzied even."

Yan Xixi lay in his arms, gazing up at him. Has this guy finally gotten his fill, calmed down, and is now brazenly exposing the weaknesses of his own kind?

"Women complain all day long that God is unfair," he said. "Because Eve was tempted by Adam to eat the Forbidden Fruit, she was punished with the pain of pregnancy, periods, and all that. But you have to consider men; God hasn’t let them off easy either."

She mumbled, "How have men had it rough? Don’t they get to feel good right away?"

"Silly girl, you don’t understand," he explained. "Theoretically, a man has an infinite amount of sperm—billions in every attempt, constantly replenishing. Think about it. If every single one could survive, wouldn’t humans outnumber bacteria? But a woman only has a few hundred eggs. Even the most fertile woman can only have a dozen or so children. So, this creates a scarcity of female resources. Women’s desires in that department aren’t typically overwhelming, which is why you rarely hear of women committing sexual assault. Men are different. They often can’t control their primal urges, so in a moment of impulse, forget spending money on a woman—committing a crime is commonplace for them."

Yan Xixi was speechless.

"If they want to satisfy their urges but don’t want to commit a crime, well, then they have to spend money," Wan Donglin went on. "That’s why men spend money to marry a wife. Even if you go to the Red-Light District, don’t you still have to pay? One way or another, they have to spend money for their impulses."

She remained silent.

"That money, essentially, is spent *for* themselves, not *on* women, understand?"

Yan Xixi nodded feverishly. "Got it, got it!"

"So, if any man ever dares to say, ’I’ve spent so much money on you,’ I’ll just slap him and say, ’Damn it! You spent that money for yourself, so why are you blaming me?’"

Wan Donglin roared with laughter. "Clever girl!" Then, his eyes widened as he admonished, "You dare spend some other man’s money? Are you looking for a beating?"

She stuck out her tongue. "I wouldn’t dare, Sugar Daddy. I’ll rely solely on you."

"That’s more like it."

Suddenly, she wrapped her arms around his neck, her long eyelashes almost brushing against his. He seized the chance, pulling her soft, fragrant body closer. She didn’t struggle at all. Instead, she pressed her face even more gently against his—truly, in that moment, with their faces touching, it felt as if their souls had connected.

After a moment, he asked, pleasantly surprised, "Xixi, why are you suddenly being so affectionate with me?"

Her eyes sparkled. "You scoundrel, I love your ’incredible theory.’ I admire you so much!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Wan Donglin was stunned into silence for a moment. Then he murmured, "Xixi, you still haven’t said you love me." He pinched her smooth, radiant cheek. Her skin was like jade, so silky his fingers couldn’t help but linger.

"There’s no need, you scoundrel," she said softly. "I’ll never love you."

He stared at her, speechless.

"I’ll never say ’I love you’ in my entire life, you can rest assured of that."

Again, he could only stare, lost for words.

She gazed back at him, her eyes full of deep affection. "I just want to sleep with you!"

The silly girl was a fast learner; she was already putting his ’theory’ to practical use!

Wan Donglin laughed so hard he was rolling on the ground.
