The Villain Loves Me Very Much

Chapter 24 - The Overbearing CEO Dotes on Me (24)

TL: Moonlit

The butler simply couldn’t believe his eyes. He watched as Nie Lingyu reached out and held Bai Yu’s hand, his face showing an extremely joyful expression. The butler was completely shocked!

After serving as the butler in the Nie household for many years, he had never seen the young master take the initiative to hold someone’s hand. And he had certainly never seen him smile so happily!

In an instant, Bai Yu’s status in the butler’s mind skyrocketed. He could no longer consider Bai Yu as just a seductive and cheap plaything.

Perhaps Bai Yu really had the possibility of becoming Nie Lingyu’s partner.

Meanwhile, two servants standing nearby looked at Bai Yu’s figure with disdain, discussing amongst themselves.

“Where is the young master taking that person with the surname Bai?”

“Who knows? Hasn’t this person climbed into the young master’s bed? What’s so special about him? The young master will kick him out in a few days.”

“That’s right.”

“The person with the surname Bai?”

The butler glanced at the people next to him with a contemptuous look in his eyes, exuding a sense of superiority as if he alone were awake while others were intoxicated.

It would be simple if things were really as they said.

The young master’s positive attitude just now was something he had never seen before.

The way he looked at Bai Yu could almost melt anyone…

How could they possibly kick Bai Yu out in a few days?

—

Nie Lingyu had spent such a long time preparing in his room, not just dressing up.

The main reason was that he wanted to surprise Bai Yu. So he kept contacting everyone through phone calls, making sure everything was arranged in the shortest possible time.

It was their first date…

Truly a memorable day.

He wanted to make it a memorable anniversary for him and Bai Yu.

At this moment, Bai Yu was sitting on a Ferris wheel, watching as Nie Lingyu knelt on one knee in front of him, holding a diamond ring in his hand.

There was a hint of confusion in Bai Yu’s eyes.

He was only here on a mission, and he never thought about getting married…

Didn’t they agree to go shopping at the festival?

Why did it suddenly turn into a proposal?

His heart was beating nonstop, feeling inexplicably nervous.

A loud bang echoed.

Followed by another.

Countless fireworks shot up from the ground, bursting in the air, emitting the most dazzling light.

It was a moment of incredible splendor…

“Xiao Yu, will you marry me?”

Nie Lingyu’s eyes were filled with boundless passion.

He couldn’t bear to wait any longer. He desperately wanted to leave his mark on Bai Yu, to make him exclusively his!

“Can you? Bai Yu.”

Bai Yu stared blankly at everything in front of him, hesitating to answer. Xiao Mihu’s voice sounded anxious in his ear.

“[Host, please answer him quickly. If you agree, the mission will be completed. The favorability rating is just a little bit away!]”

Yes, just a little bit away…

Bai Yu bit his lip lightly, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him. He asked the little dazed one in his heart.

“If the mission is successful, will I leave this world?”

“[That’s for sure!]”

“Then what will happen to Nie Lingyu if I’m gone?”

“[That’s not something the host should consider.]”

Bai Yu hesitated as he reached out for the hand holding the ring…

His eyes involuntarily glanced out the window.

The colorful fireworks filled the sky, it was a beautiful display specially prepared by Nie Lingyu for him. Even the screens on the buildings outside displayed declarations of love for him. It was Nie Lingyu’s self-proclaimed expression of deep affection. But in Bai Yu’s eyes, it was incredibly silly…

After tonight, everyone would know that the CEO of the Nie Corporation had found someone he couldn’t wait to bring home. Bai Yu knew that Nie Lingyu wasn’t just proposing to him, but also using this extravagant gesture to announce to the world that his heart belonged solely to Bai Yu.

As a result, it wasn’t just Bai Yu who felt trapped, but Nie Lingyu as well…

He didn’t know why, but from the beginning, he was eager to complete the task, and now he suddenly didn’t want to finish it so quickly… It was really strange.

“The ring is beautiful,” Bai Yu slowly reached out and took the ring from Nie Lingyu’s hand.

“So, Xiao Yu…” Nie Lingyu looked extremely excited, “Are you willing to marry me?”

[Ding! Target’s favorability +2, current progress 95%]

[Host, give it your all and say yes! The task will be completed!]

Bai Yu looked at the ring, a smile curved on his lips, and an indescribable emotion flashed in his eyes. He slipped the ring onto his finger.

Not too big, not too small, just perfect.

However…

“No, I can’t marry you for now.”

“Huh?” The whole world seemed to freeze.

Xiao Mihu looked at him in confusion.

[Host, what are you doing?]

Bai Yu didn’t respond to Xiao Mihu. Instead, he kept staring at the ring, unable to take his eyes off it. It was really beautiful, more beautiful than any ring he had ever seen.

In fact, Bai Yu himself didn’t know why he did this. He just heard Xiao Mihu say that if he agreed, he would immediately leave this place… Suddenly, he felt reluctant…

There was still over a month until the task ended. Wouldn’t it be better to leave at that time? To tell him then that he was willing to marry him…

Hearing Bai Yu’s words, Nie Lingyu’s eyes darkened. “Are you still angry with me because of what happened before?”

Bai Yu shook his head. “No…”

“Then why?”

“Lingyu, give me some more time, can you?” Bai Yu smiled as he looked at his villain. He simply wanted to spend more time with him…

But how could he say such things?

Nie Lingyu didn’t say anything more. After all, the person in front of him was someone he was determined to win over. No matter what, he had to make Bai Yu belong to him alone.

The Ferris wheel had already turned back down…

“Lingyu, let’s go down,” Bai Yu said as if nothing had happened, taking Nie Lingyu’s hand and walking down the Ferris wheel.

Unexpectedly, when they opened the door of the Ferris wheel, it was crowded with reporters. The CEO of the Nie Corporation had gone to such great lengths to propose to his beloved person. The news quickly spread, and the reporters flocked to the scene.

“Congratulations to President Nie for a successful proposal!”

After all, no one thought that Bai Yu would refuse Nie Lingyu, so congratulations poured in from all sides.

Various compliments were uttered without end.

However, no one noticed that Nie Lingyu’s face was growing increasingly grim…

Not far away, Bai Lin gritted his teeth and watched everything before him, filled with resentment and anger. Could he really just watch Bai Yu be so happy?

How was that possible?

No matter, he still had an ace up his sleeve that he hadn’t used yet.
