Chapter 1253 - 1250: Pregnancy Diary 5

"Uh... ’showing kindness for no reason, you’re either up to sex or theft’... Silly girl, be honest, did you come up with some wicked idea to prank me again?"

"Do you know where Huang Xiaojue is?"

Wan Donglin fell silent.

He was caught off guard. Because he hadn’t expected her to ask.

She’d been back in the country for over half a year now, and she’d never once mentioned the name Huang Xiaojue, and he’d never brought it up either... Gradually, it was as if Huang Xiaojue had really vanished from both their lives, as if from then on this person no longer existed.

Yet only tonight did he realize: he’s there—Huang Xiaojue—he’s always, always been there!!!

When Yan Xixi asked, she was actually a little nervous inside. But she couldn’t keep playing deaf and dumb. These days she kept thinking of Huang Xiaojue, kept thinking of that strange dream at the airport back then, half-illusion, half-real—deep down, a faint fear—if that dream was real, then had Huang Xiaojue already died long ago?

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, until she had no choice but to ask.

Just like Li Zhen had said: Wan Donglin definitely knows a lot more than the rest of them.

Otherwise, how could he even have found that little house Huang Xiaojue had in the United States? She hadn’t forgotten—the place where Wan Donglin found her was Huang Xiaojue’s home!!!

Which showed that, in Wan Donglin’s eyes, there’s practically no such thing as a big secret.

Wan Donglin kept silent.

He was silent for so long that she actually started to feel scared.

After a while, she quietly turned away.

But a large hand was already on her shoulder, turning her back, his voice extremely gentle: "Xixi, I’ve long known you’d ask."

"..."

"That’s right, Old Zhang has been closely tracking Huang Xiaojue’s every move. It wasn’t even because Huang Xiaojue left so suddenly, but because right before the incident he transferred a batch of extremely classified files. That part, Old Zhang only found out later. By then, Huang Xiaojue had already stepped beyond our borders. The people involved in those files..."

He listed a few names, and Yan Xixi was shocked.

No wonder they valued Huang Xiaojue so highly—if that batch of files were leaked, it would be an earthquake.

"None of us expected Huang Xiaojue to be able to get his hands on so much in such a short time. Clearly, his reach is far greater than we originally estimated, and his intelligence is much, much higher..."

Yan Xixi immediately understood; because of that, he had definitely become a thorn in Old Zhang’s heart—one they wanted to pull out but couldn’t exert force on; leave it in, and they’re living in constant fear.

She hurriedly asked, "Then is his dad in danger?"

"It shouldn’t go that far! As long as Huang Xiaojue doesn’t show himself, his father can sleep soundly. You could say his father’s later years won’t have any problems."

Yan Xixi did not feel relieved; instead, she grew even more uneasy.

"So Huang Xiaojue will never dare show himself for the rest of his life?"

"It’s not that he doesn’t dare show himself. I believe he’s definitely laying out a plan in the shadows. A man like him never fights an unprepared battle. For him to appear, I’d guess it has to be with everything in place. Xixi, just wait and see; when that time comes, his reappearance absolutely won’t be ordinary—it might very well be with the force of thunder..."

Yan Xixi didn’t ask further.

The force of thunder?

No, her only wish was that Huang Xiaojue was still alive, safe, healthy, happy... that’s all.

As for whether he’d return as a king, she didn’t even dare imagine it.

She suddenly asked, "Brother Donglin, if you get any news of him in the future, could you not tell Old Zhang?"

He was stunned.
