Chapter 157 Extra Chapter: Lin Yue (End)
Si Yue's eyes were still damp with moisture and trembled slightly.
Xie Lin chuckled softly, his fingertips gently brushing against the corner of her reddened eyes. "That day, when I was having dinner with Meng Wanning, she noticed me staring at her ring and asked about it. I took the opportunity to ask what kind of ring would be suitable for confessing to a girl."
"After all, what I want to give you has to be to your liking."
His gaze fell on her slightly parted lips, and a deep, unfathomable tenderness filled his eyes: "I originally intended to choose a suitable time after making a decision, but I didn't expect you to misunderstand."
Si Yue's ears turned bright red. The lingering hurt hadn't subsided before shyness washed over her, and her fingers instinctively curled up as she whispered, "I...I don't know..."
Also, what did Xie Lin say?
Is he going to confess his feelings to her?
"So come home with me."
Si Yue hesitated for a moment, instinctively wanting to refuse: "W-Isn't this too sudden? Maybe next time, I..."
She wasn't ready.
Besides, it's not really appropriate to go to a guy's house so late at night.
There will be no next time.
Xie Lin's gaze darkened. "Yueyue, I can't wait any longer."
He leaned down, his warm breath brushing against her face, tickling her.
"I won't do anything to you, I just want to personally deliver what's rightfully yours to you. Trust me, okay?"
Actually, she also had a little bit of expectation in her heart.
Why don't we go take a look?
His gaze was intense, filled with candor.
Si Yue was trapped by that gaze, unable to escape. The heat from her ear tips spread to her cheeks, and she finally nodded gently.
The car drove into a secluded villa area, and the journey was quiet.
The moment the door was pushed open, cold white light poured out, and the interior decoration was purely black, white and gray.
The furniture was sparse but exquisite, and the space felt somewhat desolate. Even the air carried a faint, cool fragrance, just like the scent emanating from him.
"sit."
Xie Lin took off her coat and casually draped it over the sofa armrest, his voice much softer, "Wait for me for five minutes."
He turned and walked towards the bedroom, his back straight, the sound of the door closing softly echoing clearly in the empty living room.
Si Yue sat on the edge of the sofa, her hands on her knees, her gaze fixed on the cool-colored tiles on the floor, her heart beating faster and faster.
The room was very quiet; the only sound was my own breathing.
The cold white light fell on her, but it couldn't dispel the sudden shyness and anticipation.
After an unknown amount of time, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.
Xie Lin walked out, holding a velvet box in his hands. His steps were steady, each step touching Si Yue's heart.
He stopped in front of her, said nothing more, and slowly knelt on one knee.
He opened the velvet box, and in the center lay a simple yet luxurious diamond ring, set with tiny diamonds that reflected a soft yet firm light under the cool glow—understated, yet dazzling enough.
Xie Lin's gaze was fixed on her, his deep eyes surging with an unprecedentedly intense and scorching emotion.
"Si Yue, I'm not good at expressing myself, but the days I spend with you have been the most relaxing and joyful I've ever felt."
"In this world, besides money, you are the one I like the most."
"Because money gives me a sense of security, and you give me even more."
He took a stack of bank cards out of his pocket and gently placed them in the palm of her other hand. The cards felt heavy, carrying the warmth of his palm.
"This is all my savings, and the password is your birthday."
"I dare not say I can give you the whole world, but everything I can give you is here."
"My person, my heart, everything I own."
His voice was deep and hoarse, tinged with nervousness, yet each word was clear and resolute: "Yueyue, will you... be my girlfriend?"
The cold white light fell on his sharply defined profile, reflecting the trepidation and cherishment in his eyes, and outlining his tall and straight figure.
The empty and deserted room was instantly filled with intense love because of this sudden confession, and even the air became scalding hot.
Si Yue stared blankly at the man kneeling on one knee, at the undisguised affection in his eyes, and at the weight of the bank card in her palm and the faint glow of the ring.
A sudden tingling sensation in my nose, and tears rolled down my cheeks without warning.
She wiped the corner of her eye and found it somewhat amusing.
"Who confesses their love by giving a ring and a bank card?"
Xie Lin was a little nervous, thinking that she didn't like it, so he quickly said, "When Song Shiyi had her birthday before, I asked you if you liked diamonds, and you said you did, so I bought it for you."
Si Yue was stunned for a moment, her memories surging.
It seems there really was such a thing.
She just said it casually at the time, but she didn't expect Xie Lin to take it to heart.
This person is really...
He appears cold and aloof.
Actually, she is soft-hearted and thoughtful.
She burst into laughter through her tears, flicked the bank card in her hand, and joked, "You're really willing to entrust your entire fortune to me? Aren't you afraid I'll run off with the money?"
To her surprise, Xie Lin looked at her very seriously and said, "Money can be earned again. If you can live well with this money, then that is its value."
Si Yue fell silent.
She lowered her eyes, afraid that she would burst into tears if she opened her mouth.
What...?
This person seems to have suddenly become enlightened.
The difference compared to before is too great.
Did you say these things to move her?
If that was his goal, then all she could say was that he had succeeded.
She suppressed her emotions and tried her best to remain calm as she said, "Xie Lin, you're so cheesy."
Xie Lin chuckled softly, his voice clear and gentle, the last syllable carrying a faint hint of amusement as it slowly reached her ears.
"Then, Miss Si Yue, would you be willing to be the fiancée of the cheesy Mr. Xie Lin?"
Si Yue looked away, her cheeks flushed, and she felt dizzy.
I don't know if it was because of his words or because of the alcohol.
In short, she took action.
She stretched her hand forward, her tone proud and unable to hide her joy.
"You've already made this request."
"I'll reluctantly agree to your request."
Xie Lin smiled.
He slowly pushed the ring all the way down, then placed a gentle and tender kiss on the back of her hand.
Please guide me in the future.
"My fiancée."
Si Yue raised the corners of her mouth slightly and pretended to be angry, saying, "Although I agreed, we still have to go through the proper procedures."
"We can't be so hasty!"
Xie Lin raised an eyebrow. "So?"
"So for now, I can only be considered your girlfriend!"
Xie Lin nodded thoughtfully. "I understand."
Si Yue: "?"
"What do you understand?"
"I'll meet your parents tomorrow to discuss the engagement."
Si Yue: "???"
She looked completely bewildered: "No, that's not what I meant."
Xie Lin nodded: "I know."
That's what I mean.
"...Isn't this a bit too fast?"
"Soon? I was planning this last year, but unfortunately, someone only wants to be my brother."
Si Yue gave a dry laugh: "Who would have thought..."
Xie Lin glanced at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Let's not talk about this for now."
"There's still one important thing I haven't done."
Si Yue asked in confusion, "What...!"
Before she could finish speaking, the world spun around her, and she was pinned down on the sofa.
She swallowed hard, anticipating what was about to happen.
What are you going to do?
Xie Lin raised an eyebrow, his tone playful.
"Can't you tell?"
Si Yue was about to speak when she was abruptly cut off.
At the same time, a lazy voice came from beside him.
Her voice was slightly hoarse, with a faint smile, making her exceptionally alluring.
"Of course—"
His lips landed, cool and soft.
"Kiss you."
My long-planned scheme has finally come true.
