After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 299: My Heart is Set on You

"Lan Lan, my heart has fallen for you!"

With that one sentence from Jyang Che, Lan Lan’s heartbeat came to an abrupt stop.

Her first reaction was to look back at the gate of Ye Mansion.

The night breeze gently stirred, causing the shadows of the trees to sway.

A dark figure was moving by the door.

She didn’t know if it was Ye Li or her mother hiding somewhere,

Or if it was just her imagination.

When Lan Lan turned back, she was even more annoyed, "Jyang Che, how come you’re getting more and more shameless? Didn’t I say I would think about it before responding to you? What’s the meaning of chasing me to my house?"

"I’m sorry, but I’m not going to change!"

With a sincere apology, Jyang Che took a step closer to Lan Lan, "Lan Lan, I think I’ve come to understand you. All your decisiveness and wisdom, it seems, are devoted to your work. Once you’re off the clock and transform from President Lan to Lan Lan, you retreat back into your shell, impenetrable no matter how much I pry. So I’ve made up my mind!"

He reached out to hold Lan Lan’s shoulder, and the laughter in Jyang Che’s eyes slowly faded, replaced by a serious and earnest gaze, "I’ve decided to be more proactive than before! Even if there are a thousand steps between us, if you can stride towards me, we’ll both be rushing to meet each other. If you hesitate and stay put, then I, eager to win the heart of the beauty, will have to switch from walking to running."

"Lan Lan, I don’t know why you lack confidence in our future. Is it because of family backgrounds, or is it because you have other options?"

"I..."

Just as Lan Lan began to speak, Jyang Che stepped forward again.

They were already face-to-face, very close, and she instinctively stepped back, only to be pinned by Jyang Che against the car door.

She glanced back guiltily toward the gate of Ye Mansion.

Dissatisfied, Jyang Che shifted his position to block her view, "If it’s about family backgrounds, let me reiterate my stance for the N+1th time, I am absolutely certain that I can make my own decisions about my marriage and love life. If you don’t believe me, I can call and schedule a time with my dad right now, and take you to meet them tomorrow."

"I don’t want to!"

Lan Lan refused decisively.

Jyang Che’s expression darkened, "Then, do you have another choice?"

"Yes, I..."

"Lan Lan, lying can backfire on you!"

Before Lan Lan could tell her lie, it was frightened back into her by Jyang Che’s curse.

She immediately regained her composure, pushed his arm away, and faced him angrily, "Now you know lying can backfire? Did you think about that when you lied to me back then?"

Jyang Che sighed helplessly, "Where did I lie to you? I said my family was modestly wealthy, how would I know we had different understandings of modest wealth? To me, only someone as rich as Uncle Fu, with a personal fortune of over a hundred billion, is considered wealthy. The Jyang family... we’re just modestly wealthy."

Lan Lan rolled her eyes without any grace.

Jyang Che continued to argue, "That mansion really is part of my family’s property, but it was genuinely a gift from my parents. I didn’t say anything wrong! And about being colleagues... Lan Lan, both of us work at Qirui, it’s just that we hold different positions, how can we not be considered colleagues?"

Lan Lan: ...

"Lan Lan!"

Seeing that Lan Lan wasn’t speaking, Jyang Che raised his voice even more, "Anyway, my heart is already yours, and when I go home today, I’ll tell my parents that I want to spend New Year’s Eve with my girlfriend. They definitely won’t mind."

"Either you come out and spend it with me, or I’ll come to your house to spend it with you."

"If you don’t agree to either, then I’ll just have to be lonely and miserable in my bachelor pad, you figure it out!"

???

Lan Lan looked at Jyang Che, who had begun to act shamelessly, speechless, "Jyang Che, President Jyang!!! Have you no shame?"

Jyang Che shook his head, "I’m about to lose my girlfriend, what do I need my face for? I don’t need it anymore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jyang Che opened the car door, ready to leave.

He quickly stole a kiss from Lan Lan before she could hit him and got into the car. Jyang Che started the engine, moved a few paces, and then stopped to roll down the window, "Lan Lan, I’ll give you three more days!"

A jolt went through Lan Lan’s heart.

Jyang Che’s smile was radiant, "You decide, will we spend New Year’s Eve together, or... will you leave me to be alone and cold?"

Vroom!

With that, leaving no chance for Lan Lan to make excuses, the car roared off.
