With a wave of his hand, he said, "I won’t interfere in such minor matters. However, your situation has changed now. It’s best to avoid people like Xu Xiaoya. Her boyfriend, Zhong Minghui, is no good either. Such friends will only drag you down. Avoid them if you can."
Yan Xixi just stood silently by the side.
"Okay, Xixi, it’s the winter holidays. Do you want to go abroad for a trip? I could take you overseas for half a month, how does that sound?"
Abroad? It would be so nice to travel around.
When pretending to be a rich and glamorous woman on ssaging apps to deceive n, she had done a lot of research about foreign countries—she had read countless travelogues about lavender, oil paintings, skiing... she could recite them all.
However, those were just travelogues, theoretical knowledge, re bragging points. So far, I don’t even have a passport.
"We can go to F Country first..."
F Country! I’ve always longed to go there. I could spend half a month just in the Art Palace! The world’s largest museum, countless art treasures, so many wonderful things... Just thinking about it is so wonderful!
She smiled. "It’s busy during the Chinese New Year, and you’re so busy, Mr. Wan. Let’s forget it. When you’re free later, you can take then."
Wan Donglin gave an enigmatic smile. "Xixi, why is it that you refuse no matter where I suggest taking you? You don’t want to be seen with , do you?"
"If Mr. Wan has ti to accompany , I’m naturally willing. Okay, Mr. Wan, I’ll go wherever you say. However, I don’t currently have a passport, and I’m afraid there isn’t enough ti to get one now."
Wan Donglin suddenly lost interest and said coldly, "I really don’t have much ti. The end of the year is approaching, and I have a lot to do. Besides, taking you would be inconvenient."
A mont of silence passed, and the atmosphere beca awkward. After a while, Wan Donglin got up, grabbed his coat, and left. As he reached the door, he slowed his pace and said casually, "I’m accompanying Zhou Ting to Ruo City tomorrow. The family will gather abroad for a holiday, and I might not be back for a month. Yan Xixi, you’ll spend the New Year alone. Don’t wait for . I’ll buy you a gift."
Who is Zhou Ting? Why would he accompany her? He said "accompany," not "take"—a difference of only one word, but the implications are worlds apart.
She didn’t ask any of these questions and simply replied respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Wan."
As Wan Donglin’s figure disappeared through the main gate, Yan Xixi closed the heavy gate herself. Suddenly, she jumped up, her heart blooming with joy. A month! A month of freedom!
Wan Donglin left with Zhou Ting. She was only excited because Wan Donglin wouldn’t be around for a month.
God knows, every ti I see him, I feel like I’m being tortured, always on edge. Even a prisoner deserves a month’s reprieve, right? Besides, I have so many plans for this month!
She imdiately turned on her computer and searched. She looked through song lists and gossip forums but only found a little information about Zhou Ting. She learned Zhou Ting was the daughter of a prominent tycoon and the intended party in a marriage alliance with Wan Donglin’s family. Zhou Ting graduated from a prestigious school in C Country and currently held a key position in a major company. She was tall and beautiful, with an air of exceptional grace and composure. This little bit of information was enough.
It seems Wan Donglin is getting married. But who Zhou Ting is... I really don’t care, nor am I interested.
Her heart was still brimming with excitent. She suddenly had an urge to make a phone call. But, having just silently recalled the string of digits, she imdiately put her phone down again. Then, she simply opened her howork webpage.
