The Villain Loves Me Very Much

Chapter 29 - The Overbearing CEO Dotes on Me (29)

TL: Moonlit

[Current target person’s favorability: 99.9%]

[Only 7 days left until the mission ends]

[Target person’s blackening level: 10%. As long as favorability reaches 100% before blackening, the mission will be considered a success.]

[Host, don’t hesitate anymore. Hurry up and complete the mission. You’re so close.]

The soft and muddled voice kept echoing in Bai Yu’s ears.

After all, for the current Bai Yu, completing the mission was not difficult.

It could have been completed before, but due to Bai Yu’s procrastination, the mission was delayed for over half a month.

Unexpectedly, during that period, the recent events almost led to the complete failure of the mission.

To prevent any more complications, the soft and muddled voice kept urging Bai Yu.

“Alright… I understand.”

Bai Yu responded softly, without saying another word. However, his body had already stiffened.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

So, is it really time to leave?

He hated Nie Lingyu so much, but in that instant when Nie Lingyu broke in and pulled him into his embrace, saying, “I’m sorry, I’m late”…

All that hatred seemed to vanish in an instant…

Nie Lingyu had always asked for his forgiveness.

But what forgiveness was there to give? He was about to leave this place…

He would never see him again.

Whether to forgive or not, it no longer had any meaning.

Bai Yu raised his head and glanced at Nie Lingyu. His clear and pure eyes carried a strong sense of sorrow.

“Bai Yu.”

Seeing Bai Yu’s appearance, Nie Lingyu’s heart ached again. He thought Bai Yu was scared and quickly reassured him.

“Don’t be afraid… I’m here.”

Nie Lingyu could never forget the scene he saw when he broke in, Bai Yu kneeling on the ground with a gun pointed at his head.

His body was covered in wounds, with blood flowing everywhere, even staining the ground…

If he had arrived a few minutes later, would Bai Yu have been gone?

Just the thought of this possibility made Nie Lingyu’s heart ache as if it were being torn apart.

“I won’t let anyone hurt you anymore. Bai Yu, I won’t doubt you again in the future. No matter what you say, I will believe you.”

“Nie Lingyu.”

“Yes?”

Bai Yu looked at him and smiled gently, but even with the smile, the sorrow in his eyes didn’t diminish in the slightest.

But that smile truly came from his heart.

Because Nie Lingyu said he would believe him…

Bai Yu reached out and embraced Nie Lingyu’s neck. In front of everyone’s eyes, without any hesitation, he pressed his lips against Nie Lingyu’s.

It was an intimate kiss, yet tears still couldn’t help but fall from the corners of his eyes…

Reluctance, he couldn’t bear to part.

Nie Lingyu reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Bai Yu’s eyes.

His heart was inexplicably panicking!

Even though he still held him in his embrace, suddenly, a fear arose within him that Bai Yu was about to leave him.

—

As Bai Lin looked at the scene before him, his teeth clenched tightly, and his heart was filled with overwhelming hatred. He gripped the gun in his hand and exerted force, his eyes filled with a cruel and vicious expression. Even if it meant dying, he was determined to make Bai Yu die before him.

However, at that moment, one of the bodyguards beside him suddenly noticed Bai Lin’s presence. He saw Bai Lin holding a gun and pointing it in the direction of their boss, and he shouted out in alarm, “Boss, danger!”

Immediately, he rushed towards Bai Lin. The other bodyguards quickly reacted and joined in the charge.

Watching as so many people rushed towards him, Bai Lin didn’t hesitate any longer. He pulled the trigger in Bai Yu’s direction. However, having never used a gun before and with the distraction of so many people, the bullet intended for Bai Yu veered off its original path and flew straight toward Nie Lingyu.

Bai Yu’s pupils suddenly contracted. He didn’t have time to react and threw himself onto Nie Lingyu, pushing him away.

A loud bang echoed through the air, and it felt as if the whole world had gone silent. Bai Yu lay on top of Nie Lingyu, his brows furrowed tightly, his exquisite features contorted into a grimace of pain.

Nie Lingyu couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He stared at everything in front of him, his brain experiencing a few seconds of blankness. He sat there stunned, unable to make any response.

“Bai… Bai Yu…” Nie Lingyu’s heart constricted, almost forgetting to beat.

“No!” He shouted loudly, lifting Bai Yu up from the ground. Countless fresh blood gushed out from behind Bai Yu, flowing incessantly.

There was only one belief in his mind: he had to rush Bai Yu to the hospital as quickly as possible. He couldn’t let Bai Yu die!

Large tears welled up in Nie Lingyu’s eyes as he held onto Bai Yu and rushed out. His mouth was babbling incoherently.

“Bai Yu, you’ll be fine. Trust me, you’ll be fine…”

Despite constantly uttering words of reassurance, the fear in his heart was consuming him. He had never felt such fear before, which even made his hands tremble as he held onto Bai Yu.

Bai Yu’s face grew pale, the intense pain and excessive blood loss almost causing him to lose consciousness. He knew very well that he didn’t have much time left.

There were still things he hadn’t finished saying.

Bai Yu slowly extended his hand, gently caressing Nie Lingyu’s face. “Lingyu…”

“Lingyu, listen to me. Although I was once with Yao Fang, my heart no longer holds any feelings for anyone else but you… I no longer love him.”

“I’ve been refusing your proposal not because I don’t love you, but because I felt unworthy of you… You’re so good, and I’m just a poor guy… How could I possibly deserve someone like you?”

Bai Yu’s words pierced Nie Lingyu’s heart like a sharp knife, causing him immense pain.

What had he done?

“Bai Yu, you’ll be fine. It’s not that you’re unworthy of me, it’s that I’m unworthy of you!”

Tears streamed down Nie Lingyu’s face like a broken dam.

“When you get better, let’s get married, okay?”

Bai Yu looked at him and smiled faintly.

Summoning his last bit of strength, he struggled to speak.

“Okay… Let’s get married then…”

His pupils began to dilate, and his consciousness gradually faded away. In the final moment before closing his eyes, he heard a soft and muddled voice ringing in his ears.

“[Ding! Current target person’s favorability: 100%, mission accomplished.]”
