Chapter 1225 - 1222: My Dearest Secret 5

Really, women should never look down on high education.

If you have a Harvard degree, you’ll possess a Death Exemption Token for a care-free life—just like women with college diplomas mocking female PhD holders as the Spinster Master;

Like women who feel stressed by spending a few cents a day to read online novels, cursing the authors nonstop, yet mock other women as gold diggers.

Isn’t that ridiculous?

Do you have the right?

Wan Donglin came back late on Friday night.

After a three-day closed meeting, he was exceptionally exhausted.

It was overcast that day and it began to rain heavily in the evening, with temperatures dropping sharply. Yan Xixi was still in the study reading, but came out upon hearing him: "Unkempt man, you’re back? Want a snack? I can make you one."

He saw her wearing a thick coat, her face extremely pale.

He reached out to hold her hand and felt it was extremely cold.

"Xixi, did you catch a cold?"

"No."

"Xixi, I have to go abroad for an extended business trip tomorrow."

She was startled and immediately asked, "How long will you be gone?"

"According to the itinerary, it’ll be over two weeks."

She murmured, "That long?"

"Yes, it really will be two weeks. The itinerary includes visiting several countries, and every day has important arrangements..."

She vaguely understood it was about pre-joining public relations for a certain economic group. If he couldn’t convince the countries, the resistance would be great.

"I initially wanted to pass it on to someone else, but right now it’s difficult to find a suitable replacement, so there’s really no choice..."

She nodded and said softly, "I understand everything. Don’t worry about the meetings; I’ll help you pack your suitcase."

That night, she worked late to pack his suitcase. Actually, there wasn’t much to pack; the truly important items were already arranged by the secretary, leaving no room for her to intervene.

She placed the suitcase aside in a daze, and he laughed: "Silly girl, what are you worrying about?"

"Well, it’s strange. You haven’t left yet, but I already want you back soon."

He laughed heartily: "Should I honorably say you’re loving me more?"

She rolled her eyes at him.

In her heart, a secret fear. Maybe it’s because she’s experienced several air accidents, always feeling flying could be ominous. Yet she couldn’t stop him from leaving. She just silently comforted herself: After all, the odds of an air accident are even smaller than winning the lottery. How many coincidences could there be in the world?

That night, the two were intimate, speaking nothing.

Early the next morning, Wan Donglin departed.

The torrential rain never ceased, pitting against the windows with a crashing sound. Yan Xixi thought, lying in bed listening to the rain was indeed the greatest pleasure on earth. She watched as the wind tangled the roses on the windowsill out of order, seeing the remaining petals fall and being blown away brutally by the wind and rain.

She relaxedly lay there until noon, then got up to casually eat a bit.

After drinking coffee, she intended to finish the magazine article, but sitting down, she felt exhausted and lazily just wanted to sleep. She mumbled to herself: How did I get so lazy? This is such a bad habit.

After sitting for a while, she casually opened a drawer, initially to find something, but suddenly saw the property agreement book quietly lying inside.

Such a thick book, she had never carefully looked through it.

Today, since there’s idle time, she pulled it out and flipped through it casually.
