Chapter 353 - Marry me!!

Guang never expected to hear something like this. There was disappointment, grief and rage filled in Ning Xui Ying's eyes. Grief and disappointment for not able to catch the right time. And rage and fierceness directed to two people who have taken her life as a tool to play with.

The doubts she had before were all cleared. She has got the genuine answers she was looking for in the man's eyes. Now she just wanted a last confirmation seal on it. She asked with her voice filled with confidence. Her eyes were fixed at the person in front of him.

"Do you love me?"

Everyone was taken aback in the room. Though Lifen and Daiyu have known that Ning Xui Ying has feelings for Guang. But they never knew the story behind those feelings. Deming was just present there to enjoy the treatment the senior was going to get. He wasn't interested in the love story that was blooming in the air, nor did he care.

The only love story he cared about was the love story in his own life. And also the only woman for whom he cared was also Lifen. He has no time or energy to waste on someone else.

The other person who was shocked at that moment was Su Yan. He was just staring at the woman who has sidelined him like he never existed in the midst of them. The hope in the relationship he was trying hard to hold was slipping like sand out of hand. The more he looked at the woman's determined eyes looking at the man the more speedily it slipped off.

Ning Xui Ying has long thought of the moment when he would be confessing his feelings to her but never thought in his rarest dream that one day he would be facing such a straightforward question. A question that will send shiver down his spines.

At this moment he found his heart drumming fast against his chest not caring about the people listening around. His ears have become deaf to every sound around him. His vision is blurred, the only person that was visible to him was the woman who had asked him such a difficult question.

The question wasn't difficult, nor was the answer. His brain has asked him this question so many times in the last two years and his heart has answered this question million times to make every inch of soul remember it. So this wasn't difficult.

It was the situation and the person who was making this simple question so difficult. Looking at the woman whose eyes were still darting on his face waiting for an answer. Her eyes were compelling him to be fast with the answer she was looking for. It was clear from her eyes that she was being impatient.

Seeing her impatient like that, he subconsciously nodded his head accepting the love, he has for her in his heart. No special words were said. No preparations were made. It was not like the way they show in the movies nor the way he has thought it in his dreams.

Just a straightforward question was asked whose response was given in just a single plain nod.

"So was that your plan to get me? Getting along with my father to force me to marry you", she asked him in another straightforward statement. But Ning Xui Ying can see, there was no fierceness or any doubts in her eyes. It was just a plain question. She was not intending to know anything from this. Like she has already guessed the answer for this question.

Without any hesitation, the man shook his head in denial. This was definitely a plan. But it was not made along with her father as an ally rather it was against her father. It was for protecting her from the people who were using her as the tool.

"No it wasn't a plan to ruin you. Instead it was to protect you. After I backed out wishing you the happiness, I did not intend to bother you until I heard your father saying in the circle that he will marry you off with any investor who will invest in his business. So I stepped in to protect you"

"Protect me by ruining my dreams and the way of free life I wanted to live". This time her words made him worry.

Did she take his intentions wrongly?

Not able to guess the thoughts going on in her mind, Ning Xui Ying became all frantic with his words. "I never intended that. You have taken me wrong. I wouldn't have married you. I have thought of helping you marry the person you wanted. So I have sent my men after him to help him get here but never thought that he would be a jerk. So ..."

"Even if he is a jerk do you think you did good playing with the ones around me? Knowing that he was a jerk, did you still think that I would marry him? Was this your revenge on me? Or do you think that after knowing that he betrayed me, I will stick up with you and marry you?" her words came out like deadly venoms.

Daiyu really felt bad for the man. Her friend was really being unreasonable at this moment. Lifen who was also witnessing everything going on felt it too. But there was no way she would interrupt in between. This was something that should be cleared between the two people only. No third one required.

But Daiyu being Daiyu, would never care to think all these difficult thoughts. Thinking of becoming the savior of the man – in – the – tough – situation, she moved forward. Lifen tried to stop her but she was late. Her hands were not moving so she could not get her on time.

It had already been late as Daiyu had already reached the couple. "Guang, I think you are being a little unreasonable"

"Daiyu, sorry this is something I really need to sort out myself. It has already been tough for me. Don't make it more tough", Guang said, trying her best to not hurt the feelings of her friend.

Su Yan on the side was feeling a little better. At least some other person was also having a tough time. If he didn't happen to get the beauty no one else would. It was a satisfying refreshing feeling inside.

Ning Xui Ying looked at the woman who was being so unpredictable today. He has never thought that it would get so hard to predict her eyes. For one moment it felt that she was all easy with this topic but the very next second she was giving him a true hard time.

"I never planned to marry you forcefully. Marrying someone with force is against my principle. Same goes with the marriage out of some deal. So in either way I have never taken this marriage as an option. After knowing the real side of this man I have thought to help in a different way. In a way where your father would never be able to interrupt your life, where you can live freely with your dreams", he said, trying to make his intentions clearer to her.

"Really? How so? By marrying someone else?" she asked, getting more and more unreasonable. She was determined to try his worst limits but however she tried, there wasn't any lace of agitation coming on his face.

"No, not at all. I have planned to put a condition in front of your father. That will solve everything for you. You don't need anyone to protect you. Your own strength and courage suffice for that. I have just tried to help you out with some resources", he explained patiently. He will always be patient with her and the topic concerned to her.

"Condition? What is that?" confusion enveloped her. What condition was he talking about? Is it the easiest way to get her then why is he being so nice? Putting her emotions above his own wishes? Is this what they call love? Don't these things only happen in movies and novels. How come it is happening in her life?

Ning Xui Ying nodded. "Yes I would put forward the condition, clearly stating the Ning International Investment Firm will only put their investment in Zhou's Enterprises if its main managerial Executive Department is headed by Ms. Zhou Guang, and that you. After this they will not be able to go back on the previous tracks and will never be able to dominate you. You will get the life you want"

He has already thought of it a way before. And has also guessed the weak points of Zhou Chang Hai. After giving the reins in the hands of her, there would be no way he would pressurize her again for marriage. Or else it would only bring him loss. So he was all sure with his plan.

Guang never thought that any man would ever go to such extents for her. On that very moment she made a decision. Looking at the man in front of her eyes she said in a very firm strong tone, "No need for such efforts. I have the easiest way. Marry Me!"
