Chapter 420 A Confession To Behold
Some guests who had a keen eye and who had watched the trending news of Yating and Chyou coming out of a shop and saw him giving her a gift had also observed Chyou wearing the pendant that belonged to the same shop.
All in all, it wasn\'t hard to connect the dots and figure out - or at least gossip about their relationship. Some truly believed that Yating and Chyou were indeed interested in each other. They guessed that everybody might soon hear an announcement of their engagement.
And just like that, the rumors trickled down and made their way to Cheng Yin\'s ears. Some pictures from the banquet were also posted on Weibo where he saw Chyou and Yating laughing and talking to each other. They looked at ease and with a chemistry between them that was hard to ignore.
Which absolutely didn\'t sit well with him.
He jumped on his feet, panicked and anxious. And irritated and annoyed too.
This Gu Yating...didn\'t he say that...
His brows continuously twitched and he felt his patience losing. When he couldn\'t calm down his rattled heart, he went to open his stash where he still had one dose present.
Cheng Yin licked his lower lip, his brows contorting with struggle.
I-I have promised Chyou that I won\'t ever do drugs again. I somehow lied my way before but I truly...don\'t want to keep lying to her.
He promised to himself that he would become clean and never touch drugs again. But this closeness between Chyou and Yating unnerved him.
Fuck!
His temper rose the more he kept thinking about Yating.
In the end, his addiction won and he took another dose. Relief spread across his body as the effects kicked in. But this wasn\'t enough. It calmed him for now. But to truly calm his heart, he had to uproot the main cause of this issue.
After giving it a long thought in the past two days, he had only one idea that could eliminate Yating\'s presence from Chyou\'s life. A day before, he made his plans and all was set for today.
When Chyou entered the set to do her film shooting this morning, she oddly found everybody to be absent. The set looked dark as if nobody had arrived for work.
"Ah? Isn\'t it usually so lively by now?" She muttered to herself.
Then lights flowed in and she was showered with a rain of rose petals. She widened her eyes, not expecting this kind of a welcome. The whole set was decorated breathtakingly.
Everybody from the set cheered and laughed as they jumped out from their hiding spots.
Chyou scratched her chin. "Hey you all. What\'s with this welcome? Wait...is it my birthday today? No," she grinned. "Otherwise my family would have surprised me way before you all~ So what\'s the event?"
One assistant giggled. "You will see."
From her back, Cheng Yin arrived donning his best suit carrying a huge bouquet of beautiful red roses as he walked towards her with a smile on his lips.
Chyou blinked. "Yin?"
He stood before her, his heart pounding in nervousness. It thudded even faster as he peered into her eyes. Chyou always looked so stunning that he would never be able to tear his gaze off her.
"Chyou."
"Yin. Did you prepare all this?" She chuckled. "What\'s with your suit? You are extra fashionable today." Though she admitted that he made her heart skip a beat with how dashing he looked.
"It\'s for you, Chyou."
"M-me?"
The giggles of others grew more excited and hyper as the time came near.
Cheng Yin said, "Chyou. I have been meaning to tell you something for a long time now. I was struggling to find the perfect moment to tell you. But no matter how hard I thought, I never felt satisfied. Yet there is something important that you had to know and I wanted the whole world to know along with you."
With that said, sharp gasps echoed throughout the set when Cheng Yin bent on his one knee.
Chyou silently took a sharp gasp as she covered her mouth with her palm. Everything instantly struck her mind.
Is he...
Her heart sped faster as he brought the bouquet closer to her. "Chyou, I love you. I love you very much. Ever since I met you and got to know you, you made your place in my heart before I even realized it. Before I knew it, my eyes started to always look for you. You are kind, hardworking and dedicated. I love everything about you. Even though I have enacted so many confession scenes in the movies, somehow, I always became flustered when I came before you. I want to give you a dreamy confession just like in the movies, declaring my love for you in front of the whole world..."
Chyou felt her ears ringing and her head buzzing with so many emotions riling her heart and stomach with butterflies. But somewhere in a tiny corner of her heart, she also felt a sense of anxiety creep in too. She couldn\'t understand why though.
I...I am so happy...
She definitely was. She could hardly contain her excitement and to see the man she loved confess to her was like a dream come true for her because she wasn\'t sure if Cheng Yin returned her feelings or not.
But now, she got her answer in the form of a resounding confession. Nothing could make her happier.
"Chyou, will you be my girlfriend?"
The squeals around Chyou grew louder and louder as they urged her. "Say yes! Say yes!"
Chyou felt her hands mildly tremble and amidst a feeling of faint anxiety still gnawing at her, a smile bloomed on her lips. "Yes!"
