Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 544: The CEO’s Desperate Pursuit in the Flames of Regret
Lan sighed, put down the water, and left.
As soon as she got downstairs, Lin Yue called out to her.
"How is your Miss Wan? Did you talk to her?"
"I did. Our Miss Wan is worried you might regret it in the future," Lan said honestly.
"Worried I’d regret it in the future?" Lin Yue frowned.
Lan relayed Wan Tianning’s words to him verbatim.
Lin Yue laughed. What kind of reason is that?
Just because of these uncertainties, does he lack even the courage to accept her now?
"Actually, President Lin, you can’t completely blame our Miss Wan," Lan said. "Our Miss Wan may seem glamorous and proud on the surface, but her background is rather difficult. She was once the daughter of a wealthy family, but after such changes at home, she’s always felt insecure. Her worries now are normal."
"I understand, thank you," Lin Yue expressed his gratitude.
Lan pursed her lips, wanting to say more.
But she thought Lin Yue was so smart, he probably understood without her having to say it.
So, she left first.
Lin Yue naturally did not leave, staying there overnight.
However, he did not look for Wan Tianning again; instead, he stayed in his room alone, lost in thought.
When Wan Tianning didn’t see him at dinner, she thought he had left.
Seeing Lan bringing a meal upstairs, she asked in surprise, "Who are you taking that to?"
"To President Lin! Miss Wan, even if you don’t accept him, he’s still staying here. It’s mealtime, and I should bring him something to eat. What if he gets too hungry?"
"He didn’t leave?" Only then did Wan Tianning realize Lin Yue hadn’t left.
"Of course not, you’re still here, so why would he leave?" Lan said.
Wan Tianning frowned.
She wondered why he didn’t come down to eat if he hadn’t left, or why he didn’t come to see her.
"Did you tell him everything I said?" Wan Tianning suddenly asked.
Lan looked awkward and said sheepishly, "You didn’t tell me not to tell President Lin."
Wan Tianning: "..."
"Lan, you’re really annoying," Wan Tianning said angrily.
"What did I do?" Lan asked innocently.
"Forget it," Wan Tianning said irritably, waving her hand. "It’s good that he knows. It gives him a chance to think carefully about his feelings for me. If he wants to reconsider, there’s still time."
"Miss Wan, where are you going?" Lan asked urgently as she saw Wan Tianning heading out.
Wan Tianning said, "Out for some fresh air, don’t follow me."
Lan sighed and continued upstairs to bring the meal to Lin Yue.
However, Lin Yue didn’t eat.
He asked her how Wan Tianning was doing.
Lan answered truthfully again.
This time, Lin Yue didn’t chase after her but continued to ponder in his room.
Wan Tianning wandered aimlessly outside for a while, then returned home.
Lin Yue never came out, and she didn’t know what he had decided.
Had he made up his mind to leave and never look for her again?
Considering this possibility, Wan Tianning felt a subtle ache in her heart.
However, she quickly covered her chest to stop the pain from spreading.
It’s okay, Wan Tianning.
You are very strong.
All the setbacks and hardships you faced before didn’t make you give in; it’s just Lin Yue, after all.
Wan Tianning mocked herself into feeling better and covered her head to sleep.
In the end, she slept well.
She thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep but ended up having a dreamless night?
However, Xie Mingyu wasn’t so fortunate.
There really were a lot of mosquitoes here, and even with mosquito coils, they still buzzed around.
Xie Mingyu, pampered from childhood, had never suffered such a hardship.
Before Shangxue could suggest it, he asked her to stay with him.
"You need to kill the mosquitoes for me, make sure there’s not a single one left in the room."
"Got it, young master, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it," Shangxue replied.
Xie Mingyu took a shower and, wearing a silk pajama, was ready to sleep.
Before sleeping, he suddenly thought of the medicine Wan Tianning gave him.
Would drinking it really drive the mosquitoes away?
He was, in fact, full of doubts about Wan Tianning’s words.
But his natural curiosity piqued, and despite his skepticism, he was intrigued by her confident claims.
Even if it didn’t work, it shouldn’t be toxic.
Even if given several opportunities, she wouldn’t dare do anything to him.
If it doesn’t work, he could mock her tomorrow.
So, Xie Mingyu decided to drink it.
Shangxue wasn’t watching, and when she saw him drinking a bottle of something unknown, she asked concernedly, "Young master, what did you drink?"
"It’s none of your business," Xie Mingyu said.
Shangxue felt embarrassed and continued to watch for mosquitoes.
Xie Mingyu noticed she wasn’t arguing or contradicting him, which made him feel even more frustrated.
Recalling Wan Tianning’s words, he asked Shangxue, "Shangxue, what are your feelings towards me?"
Shangxue was a bit startled.
She thought, my young master, why are you asking such an odd question suddenly?
"What do you mean, young master?" Shangxue asked.
"Forget it, I didn’t mean anything," Xie Mingyu said irritably, closing his eyes.
Yet, he could still feel Shangxue’s presence.
Frustrated again, he pulled the covers over his head.
Shangxue shook her head, thinking he was truly temperamental.
But she was used to it, so she continued to watch for mosquitoes.
"Shangxue, what’s with you today? Why do you smell so strong?"
Suddenly, Xie Mingyu pulled the covers down, frowning as he asked.
Shangxue thought she had a smell on her and quickly lifted her arm to sniff.
"I don’t smell anything! What smell?"
"Can’t you smell it yourself? It’s your smell, it’s terrible," Xie Mingyu exclaimed.
Shangxue’s face darkened.
She was a girl, after all, and being told she smelled terrible was more painful than a slap across the face.
"I’m sorry, young master, I’m offending you. I’ll leave so I won’t disgust you anymore."
"Who told you to leave?"
Hearing her say she was leaving, Xie Mingyu immediately sat up in bed.
"Stop, you can’t go."
"Why can’t I leave? I’m disgusting the young master; of course, I should."
Shangxue retorted sarcastically.
Xie Mingyu was breathing heavily, feeling as though his chest was burning, indescribably uncomfortable.
Shangxue didn’t want to pay him any mind, but upon hearing his heavy breathing, she frowned and asked, "Young master, what’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I feel terrible everywhere, and I want you to come here," Xie Mingyu called out irritably.
Shangxue had no choice but to approach.
However, as soon as she reached the bed, Xie Mingyu grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"You really have a strong smell on you." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Like a pup, Xie Mingyu snuggled against Shangxue’s shoulder, sniffing hard.
