Chapter 22 - The Overbearing CEO Dotes on Me (22)

TL: Moonlit
Bai Yu looked so fragile at that moment.
He curled himself into a ball, appearing helpless and pitiful.
Nie Lingyu’s eyes stared at him, dazed and lost.
The lowered eyelashes of the person in front of him trembled slightly.
His amber eyes fixedly gazed at Nie Lingyu, filled with indescribable emotions.
“Lingyu, can you not drive me away? I have nowhere else to go…”
Bai Yu lightly bit his lower lip, feeling embarrassed as he buried his head in his knees.
His arms, embracing his knees, tightened even more.
As if he had uttered something shameful.
Nie Lingyu remained motionless, staring blankly at the person in front of him. His heart clenched tightly.
He hadn’t forgotten that Bai Yu had used up all his savings to buy him that gift.
Now, Bai Yu had only a few cents left in his bank account…
So, he hadn’t lied to himself. He truly had nowhere to stay, not even enough money to stay in a hotel.
Seeing Nie Lingyu’s prolonged silence, Bai Yu’s expression grew even more embarrassed.
“If you don’t want me to stay here, I can stay in the basement…”
Bai Yu’s voice began to tremble, and with each word he spoke, it felt like a needle piercing Nie Lingyu’s heart.
It was a dense and overwhelming pain!
Unable to bear it any longer, Nie Lingyu forcefully pulled Bai Yu up from the bed and hugged him tightly!
Nie Lingyu gritted his teeth, his eyes narrowing.
He held the person in his arms tightly as if he wanted to merge him into his own flesh and blood.
“Xiao Yu, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you. I thought you went to see Yao Fang…”
Bai Yu momentarily froze, then his timid voice resounded again.
“I didn’t… I… I don’t want to see him anymore. I thought it would make you unhappy.”
Boom!
Nie Lingyu felt as if his heart had been heavily struck. His mind buzzed.
That feeling was a mix of pain and happiness…
Truly, it was indescribable.
[Ding, target’s favorability +5, current favorability 90%]
The voice of the little system unexpectedly sounded at an inappropriate time.
Bai Yu calmly nodded, not as excited as the little system had imagined.
He simply lowered his head and rested it on Nie Lingyu’s shoulder, motionless.
Although he should be very happy, with only 10% left to complete the mission…
Bai Yu couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of melancholy.
Although the misunderstanding had been cleared, Nie Lingyu’s lack of trust was real…
The humiliation from earlier was real…
The grievances in his heart were real…
Bai Yu furrowed his brows slightly and chuckled with a hint of sarcasm.
How could he use the word “grievance”?
He was just here to complete a mission.
What did it matter to him how the villain treated him?
Though he thought this way, Bai Yu remained in Nie Lingyu’s embrace, hesitating to push him away.
Perhaps it was the warmth of this broad embrace that made him momentarily reluctant to leave…

Nie Lingyu lowered his head and looked at the person in front of him. Bai Yu’s eyes still held tears, his eye sockets slightly red, and even a few glistening teardrops clung to his trembling eyelashes.
Nie Lingyu gently kissed his eyes, one by one, gently wiping away the tears he shed.
His kisses followed the tear marks on Bai Yu’s face, all the way down until they reached his soft and sweet lips.
Nie Lingyu held onto Bai Yu’s waist with one hand and gripped the back of his head with the other, passionately and eagerly kissing him.
This fragile and delicate little pitiful person in front of him made it so difficult for him to let go.
The desire he longed for filled his entire body.
Bai Yu…
Oh, Bai Yu…
How could I ever chase you away?
I wish I could imprison you by my side forever!
Let your world have only me!

However, at this moment, the little bodyguard standing at the door coughed awkwardly.
Bai Lin, who had fainted, was still in their room, and the boss and Bai Yu were kissing each other as if no one else existed…
Upon hearing the cough, Nie Lingyu narrowed his eyes and turned his head abruptly, staring fiercely at the bodyguard who had interrupted them.
The bodyguard’s face turned red as he endured Nie Lingyu’s deadly gaze, then pointed his finger at Bai Lin lying on the floor.
“He’s still here…”
A hint of coldness flashed in Nie Lingyu’s eyes.
“Quickly throw him out for me, and never let me see him again!”
“Okay.”
The bodyguard quickly dragged Bai Lin out like he was throwing out trash.
The door was closed again.
Nie Lingyu let out a sigh and pulled Bai Yu back into his embrace.
His eyes involuntarily glanced at the destroyed and crumpled gift bag on the floor.
A dull pain surged in Nie Lingyu’s heart.
He quickly picked up the gift bag from the ground.
“Is this the gift you gave me?”
Bai Yu nodded, but the gift bag had already been torn apart by Bai Lin, and even the tie inside was full of wrinkles, no longer resembling a new tie.
Bai Yu hurriedly snatched the tie from Nie Lingyu’s hand and hid it behind his back.
“I know you don’t like this, so I’ll throw it away.”
Saying that, Bai Yu unhesitatingly threw it into the trash can.
The voice of Xiao Mihu echoed with surprise, full of confusion.
“[Host, isn’t this the gift you wanted to give to the villain? Why did you throw it away? We spent the whole afternoon choosing it…]”
“Fool, it’s called taking a step back. I want him to feel even more guilty!”
Bai Yu thought in his heart, who asked the villain to be so bad and bully him like that. He had to retaliate!
He wanted the villain to feel guilty to death!!!
Hmph!
Seeing Bai Yu throw away the gift, Nie Lingyu’s heart ached as if it had been cut by a knife!
He quickly picked up the gift from the trash can.
Just the thought of Bai Yu using up all his savings to buy him this gift made him feel heartbroken.
But now, because of his own previous despicable actions, Bai Yu unhesitatingly threw away the savings he had accumulated for so long…
All of this was because he had gone too far.
“Who said I don’t like it anymore? I like it. I really like it, see!”
Nie Lingyu quickly took out the tie from the bag and put it around his neck.
“Look, isn’t it nice?”
The tie was already full of wrinkles, and wearing it on Nie Lingyu’s high-end suit looked mismatched and ridiculously funny.
But this scene made Bai Yu’s heart warm slightly.
Although the villain was truly detestable and had treated him badly.
But he still had to use the villain to complete the mission…
Well, let’s temporarily forgive him this time.
