Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me-Chapter 1422: Overbearing and Unreasonable [Ling Xing]

Bai Lingyun looked at her silent expression, "Do you think I’ve suddenly become domineering and unreasonable?"

"Yes." She nodded.

He suddenly let out a cold laugh, but his voice was much softer, "I should have done this earlier. Remember, one month’s time."

"But..."

"No buts, no excuses." He casually put his hands in his pockets and said lazily, "If you want to object, there can only be one reason."

Mu Xing was dissatisfied with him, so she asked, "What reason?"

"Say that you hate me, never liked me, have no feelings for me at all, and that you never want to have anything to do with me in this lifetime." His gaze was cool, and he spoke slowly, word by word, "If you say that, I’ll let you go and promise never to bother you again, nor require you to pretend for me."

Mu Xing’s lips moved, as if she saw his eyelids twitch a little, but she couldn’t speak.

Bai Lingyun felt a rare sense of nervousness.

He was never one to do things he wasn’t certain about, just like in the past, he never showed any feelings to Lu Wanwan, because he knew it was an unrequited crush with no outcome.

Regarding Mu Xing, he couldn’t pinpoint when he started paying attention to her.

The few months they spent together passed naturally, but when Mu Xing said she wanted to leave, he began to think about certain things.

He didn’t hold her back because he felt they both needed time to calm down and think.

Having spent so much time together, he had nearly grown accustomed to it.

Once Mu Xing truly left, a large void appeared in his life, making him feel like something was missing.

He initially wanted Mu Xing to understand her feelings for him, but this girl, whose feelings were a blank slate, seemed oblivious.

She always managed to give a reasonable explanation that had nothing to do with him for every attempt he made to get closer.

But he firmly believed there was no way she felt nothing for him.

Choosing this moment to speak up was both unexpected and expected.

But once he truly began to speak, he became uncertain; what if he was wrong?

It was a level of nervousness he hadn’t felt in years; even when shooting his first commercial or signing his first contract, he was calm.

Now, faced with a girl he was confident liked him, his palms began to sweat inside his pockets due to nervousness.

He had already spoken, and now he truly worried she might repeat his words back to him.

"I’ll give you five seconds. If you don’t say it..."

"Bai Lingyun." Mu Xing looked tense and frightened, like a startled young deer.

Her interruption made Bai Lingyun even more anxious.

"Think carefully; this is your one chance. Repeat that sentence word for word, and from then on, we part ways."

Mu Xing opened her mouth several times, as if struggling intensely inside.

"Three, two..."

"Alright!" Listening to the countdown made her nervous, so she slowly adjusted her state, her expression serious, "I admit, I can’t say that sentence. I also admit, my feelings for you might be... a bit strange. I don’t dislike you, nor have I said I wanted no part of you..."

"What strange feeling? That’s liking!" Bai Lingyun’s expression remained steady, but his tightly clenched hands finally relaxed, "One month, after one month, I need to see results."

Mu Xing thought for a moment, one month’s time should be enough for her to figure things out.

"Okay." She nodded.
