Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 577: The CEO’s Desperate Pursuit in the Flames of Regret
"Ningning, I’m sorry." Lin Yue cautiously apologized to Wan Tianning.
His eyes showed timidness and revealed a sense of humility, like a big dog that had been wronged, making it hard for people to reprimand him.
If it were any other woman, she would have long been conquered by his pitiful appearance, her maternal instincts flaring, wanting to comfort him in her arms. How could she bear to continue scolding him?
However, Wan Tianning is not just any woman.
She looked at Lin Yue with a stern face for a while before coldly snorting and saying, "Act, keep acting, let’s see how long you want to keep this up?"
Lin Yue: "..."
"Ningning, I am really not acting, I genuinely want to apologize to you. I’m sorry, I deceived you. But I have my reasons." Lin Yue apologized again in a low voice.
Wan Tianning laughed sarcastically, "Everyone who makes a mistake says they have their reasons. Okay, explain to me, I’m curious to hear what reasons made you deceive me this way?"
Wan Tianning sat on the sofa, arms crossed, looking at him arrogantly.
Lin Yue lowered his head, even though he stood tall, he now seemed like a child who had done something wrong.
A bit uneasy.
Wan Tianning frowned speechlessly, feeling like a school principal.
"Don’t just stand there, sit down and talk to me. Looking up at you makes my neck hurt."
"Does it hurt? Let me rub it for you." Upon hearing this, Lin Yue eagerly went over to massage her neck.
Wan Tianning angrily slapped his hand, "Get away, who said you could touch me?"
Lin Yue immediately withdrew his hand and timidly stood to the side again.
Wan Tianning pointed irritably to the opposite sofa, "Sit down, stop hovering in front of me, quickly explain."
Lin Yue had no choice but to sit back down and took a deep breath before saying to Wan Tianning, "Actually, when I rejected Alina’s marriage alliance, Alpha Company did inform me that they would cease supporting my company. Without their help, I would definitely go bankrupt. Though at the time, I was already prepared for bankruptcy and didn’t want to marry Alina because I knew the person I love is you. I have fallen for you and can’t give my tenderness to anyone else."
"Stop, don’t say things that sound nice, continue explaining." Wan Tianning interrupted him, her face slightly red.
But Lin Yue said, "Ningning, you have to be fair. You want me to explain, I have to clarify the whole cause and effect, right? This is part of it; if I don’t tell you, how will I explain it?"
"Just explain, don’t confess. Don’t think that by confessing, I’ll forgive you." Wan Tianning shouted.
"Alright, I understand. I’m not confessing, I’m just speaking the truth." Lin Yue mumbled softly.
Wan Tianning waited for him, and he had to cover his mouth, nodding and continuing the explanation, "I plan to offer the Lin Group as collateral to at least settle these debts. I’m still young and can start anew. But unexpectedly, Zhan Hanjue came to see me at that time."
"Brother-in-law?" Wan Tianning was surprised.
Lin Yue nodded, "Aside from Alpha Company, only Zhan Hanjue could help me. Initially, I didn’t think of seeking his help. He probably waited for me to approach him, but I never did. Maybe my sister interceded, causing Zhan Hanjue to come to me willingly. In short, he was willing to help me."
"Did you accept?" Wan Tianning asked.
Lin Yue replied somewhat embarrassed, "Why wouldn’t I accept? He was willing to extend a helping hand, how could I refuse my sister’s kindness? Besides, I’ve already moved on from my sister and fallen in love with you, naturally, I don’t want these things to create a rift between me and Zhan Hanjue. After all, in the future, we will be brother-in-law."
"I haven’t even agreed to marry you, how can you talk about being brother-in-law with anyone? Lin Yue, can you be serious, don’t you see I’m angry?" Wan Tianning said angrily.
Lin Yue smiled at her, pressing his lips together.
Wan Tianning: "..."
"Why are you smiling?"
"Ningning, I like you and I love you, this is my heartfelt truth. I know you’re very upset right now, but I think perhaps you’re not that mad, maybe you’re just pretending to scare me."
Lin Yue once again walked up to Wan Tianning, squatted down, and held her hand, this time he looked up at her face.
"Who said I’m not really angry and just pretending to scare you?" Wan Tianning said, trying to pull her hand back.
But Lin Yue held it too tightly, she couldn’t move it at all.
"Lin Yue, let go, continue this and I’ll be angry." Wan Tianning said.
"Even if you’re angry, I won’t let go," Lin Yue said, "You’re not really angry at me, you’re just unhappy. How could you really be angry at me? You love me too, don’t you? I know you do, so you couldn’t possibly be angry at me."
Wan Tianning: "..."
"You really are... so annoying." Wan Tianning’s face blushed red, she raised her other hand to slap his face.
However, when her hand came down, it was gentle rather than a slap; it felt more like a soft caress on his face.
Lin Yue smiled again, using his other hand to hold hers, bringing it close to his lips, inhaling its scent.
This time, Wan Tianning did not react with anger nor did she struggle.
Lin Yue happily embraced her, not stopping with kissing her hand, but also straightening his body to hold her in his arms and kissing her lips.
At first, Wan Tianning struggled a bit.
But soon, she stopped resisting, letting him kiss her.
The two lingered intimately for a while, then Lin Yue slowly released her.
However, he didn’t completely let go, instead he continued holding her in his arms, explaining tenderly to her.
"After Zhan Hanjue helped me, I quickly turned the company’s situation around, bringing it back to life. I originally wanted to tell you about this, but who knew after you learned about my bankruptcy, you’d suddenly be nice to me again when you were initially lukewarm towards me? I’ve hoped to be with you, hoped for so long, willing to gamble everything on it. Under such circumstances, how could I easily let go? Of course, I continued acting to win your sympathy, hoping you’d treat me better. You have to understand me, if you were in my shoes, you’d do the same."
"Don’t justify your shamelessness with grand words. If I were you, I would never do that." Wan Tianning affirmed.
"Really? You wouldn’t? You truly wouldn’t?" Lin Yue looked at her with tenderness.
Wan Tianning felt a pang of guilt under his gaze.
After a while, she irritably pushed him away.
"Even though you initially wanted my sympathy, hoping to be with me. Once we got together, you had many chances to tell me, why didn’t you?"
"I wanted to, but I’m afraid you’d be angry if you knew. You only just agreed to be with me, I want to make you happy, caring for you isn’t enough, how could I want to make you angry? Just thinking about you being angry makes me worried, so I kept it hidden in my heart, never daring to speak out. Ningning, I’m really afraid of losing you."
As he spoke, Lin Yue again tightly embraced her.
