One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love

Chapter 2272: Let us give each other a way out.

There was no equality between men in the first place.

When wealth came too easy for someone, it could numb a person’s heart overnight. As the man gained his riches fast, he would also lose something fast.

This was why only men who were humble enough could shoulder greater responsibility.

What if a person lost all he had overnight, then?

The rite of passage would be even harder to overcome.

The missy might be impulsive enough to ditch her riches and status for him now, but she would succumb to reality sooner or later.

Did she say she’ll work hard for our tomorrows, just like any average folk?

What a joke.

He was about to reply when tiny bubbles could be observed on the water surface. Something seemed to be vibrating inside his pants’ pocket.

It was his cell phone.

He took out the phone from his pocket, but before he could see who the caller was, Lin Xueya snatched the item from his hand without warning. She gazed at the screen to see the name ‘Shishi’ flashing across.

Yun Shishi…

Is it her calling?

The missy bit her lower lip hard, then interrogated sullenly, “Where did you go last night?”

The man kept quiet.

“Speak!”

She threw the phone to the floor out of the blue, and the ringing stopped instantly.

Fury flashed across his eyes for a change. “Pick it up!”

“What?” She stared at him in wide-eyed disbelief.

Since she knew him, he had always been docile and calm around her, but today, he actually flared up at her like an antagonized lion just because of one willful action.

“Pick up the phone now!”

“Are you angry?” She did not let up her interrogation. “Who is she to you?! Why are you so upset with me for her sake?!”

“Pick it up!”

The man seemed to have truly been antagonized this time. He glared at her as his face turned livid with rage.

“Lin Xueya, you’d better know where to draw the line!”

This was the first time he had addressed this lady by her full name.

He had lost his patience with her finally. “How long more will you stay bull-headed?”

She did not know what to say.

He smirked. “Do you know how painful it is to be with you? I have to act loving with you all the time despite me not being in love with you at all. Not only that; I also have to face constant threats and violence from your family. Enough is enough.”

He got up suddenly from the bathtub and took an elegant step out of the water.

His calm and composed mannerism only belied her shame and embarrassment.

She could not believe that he would stand up against her one day, but it was happening right before her eyes now.

“Lin Xueya, let’s give each other a way out, alright?” As he spoke, he picked up his phone from the floor, wiped it gently, and left the bathroom without a second glance.

The woman was too stunned to move, and there was no reaction from her over his abrupt departure.

There was a long silence after the man walked out of the bathroom, and then she heard the sound of the main door opening and closing.

Her heart turned cold!

He left… without even a goodbye!

She had been ditched once again.

There’s nothing left for me now…

She curled up on herself, burying her face in her arms as she hugged her knees despondently. Soon, she let out a wail.

…

After the man had changed into a fresh set of clothes, he left the apartment to find a secluded corner. There, he dialed a number on his phone.

A man’s stern and deep voice boomed across the earpiece when the call went through. “Who is this!”

This father-daughter pair was of the same breed, indeed; both were equally arrogant.

During his momentary lapse, the older man on the other end of the line had gotten impatient. “Speak!”
