I Hate You, Devil!-Chapter 188 Right now?

Chapter 188 Right now?

Luo Xiaolei could see old man Yu's eyes glimmering with hope and excitement. He looked like a different person than the one who had been looking so crestfallen just a while ago. He looked like the light of salvation had finally shone upon him and she was glad, so glad that the hopelessness in his eyes were somehow no longer in there.

"Did you hear your fiancée? Huh, Xiao Chen?!" he exclaimed, talking to Yu Chen as if he was awake. "She said she'll marry you! She finally agreed, you little punk! You have to wake up now so we can finally prepare for the wedding. Or should I start preparing now?"

Watching the old man looking so excited made Luo Xiaolei's lips slowly curve up as she watched him talking to Yu Chen.

She was smiling but for some reason, her eyes started to well. She remembered those moments when Yu Chen had asked her to marry him and she started to feel a tinge of pain in her chest. If only she agreed before things came to this... her Yu Chen might not be in this situation right now… but it was too late to regret at this point…

The moment Luo Xiaolei said that she would marry him, she couldn't deny that her heart shuddered a little. But right now, her fear of losing Yu Chen was greater than anything else. No kind of fear could stop her now, not when she finally remembered him, not when she finally realized just what was he in her life. He was her life now.

"My dear Xiaolei, I'm so happy. I can hardly wait for you to become my granddaughter officially." He uttered once he faced her again. "Ah… I really want this punk to wake up now!"

Luo Xiaolei tried to smile but she couldn't even make herself feel as happy and excited as he was, not when Yu Chen was still in this state.

Old man Yu who was still so animated was about to speak again when the door opened. It was Gu Jinyang and he looked serious as he told them that there was an important call for the old man so old man Yu then excused himself, leaving Luo Xiaolei alone with Yu Chen inside the room.

Quietly, Luo Xiaolei sat on the chair beside his bed. She reached out and touched Yu Chen's hand. Her eyes filled with emotion as she stared at his peaceful, glorious face.

"Did you hear what your grandpa said?" she finally spoke. Her voice was gentle ad emotional. She started to hear her own loud heartbeats. "Yu Chen… I finally decided to marry you, so wake up now, okay? Of course, rest assured that I'm not doing this just because your grandpa asked me. I'm doing this because I want to. Because I… because I need you. I can't lose you. In this life, I want you to be with me forever so I'm going to marry you and keep you beside me."

She stroked the back of his hand. The feelings that were coursing through her that moment was unnerving, staggering.

"I also want to tell you that I finally remembered everything. I have a lot of things to tell you. So you really need to wake up very soon because I'm not really good at waiting, you understand?" she half-smiled. She wanted to tell him she would wait for him no matter how long it might take but she didn't. Because he had to wake up as soon as possible.

As she rested her face at the edge of his bed, Luo Xiaolei thought about his reaction if he was conscious right now. Would he faint? Would he become a frozen stone for a while? Luo Xiaolei started imagining lots of his possible reactions and the edge of her lips curved up. She really, badly wished that he was awake right now.

Time passed and Luo Xiaolei didn't move an inch. She stayed just there, unmoving until she felt someone enter the room.

It was old man Yu and the animated expression he had when he left was now replaced with gloom.

Worried that something might have happened, Luo Xiaolei stood.

"Mr. Yu, is something wrong?" she asked and the old man heaved a long sigh as he sat down, pinching the skin between his brows.

"It appears that the enemies are already making their move. They really are going all out now. I thought it would at least take a while before things went really bad but I was wrong." The old man now sounded extremely weary.

They had just thought of a solution a while ago for this but Yu Chen was still unconscious. And the biggest problem was the fact that they don't even know when would he wake up!

"Is there anything we can do?" Xiaolei was trying to stay calm but she knew that this wasn't something that could be taken lightly. She knew what was at stake in this and what would happen to the Yus and their empire if they failed to act in time.

"They had a picture of Yu Chen's accident and it was already released in the media. The rumor that he's dead is already spreading like wildfire. I have to give a statement tomorrow, or else, the stock prices and everything else will definitely start to plummet."

Just hearing those words made Luo Xiaolei realize just how bad things were at the moment. This was the time for them to make a move or everything would crumble down to nothing. She knew that the Yus couldn't afford to lose power right now. They had to do something now before everything went out of control… before it was too late.

Biting her lip hardly, Luo Xiaolei's eyes fell to the man on the bed. His sleeping face was still so peaceful and beautiful as ever. He was like a sleeping angel, so harmless and defenseless. Just looking at him like, the urge of wanting to protect him at all cost, surged within Luo Xiaolei like tsunami in her chest. And then, strangely, she suddenly felt like something pushed her to speak.

"Mr. Yu… how about I marry him right now?"
