I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 422 I will protect you for the rest of my life and never let you get hurt again...

"!!!"

Yu Lingxue was startled by Bai Cang's words; her eyes widened, and her mouth gaped open...

Unexpectedly, he openly introduced their relationship in front of his own father!

Is this reasonable?

He was no longer worthy of Bai Cang because of his current status! How could his father possibly want his son to be with a girl like her?

Bai Zhengzhi took a drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled.

Then, a slight smile appeared on his lips as he nodded and chuckled softly:

"Okay, Xiaoxue is a good girl, you should treat her well."

"Eh? You...you..."

Yu Lingxue was even more surprised. She hadn't expected that Bai Zhengzhi would actually accept it.

Doesn't he care about his social status? Doesn't he value being well-matched in marriage?

In fact, Bai Zhengzhi didn't mind at all; in fact... he was quite pleased...

At least, he's happy that his son is dating a normal girl now...

You know, just a few years ago, his son was attracted to men... He was so worried!

Moreover, people of his family's status and power don't care about social standing or matching families. Bai Zhengzhi doesn't expect to gain any benefits through marriage.

He didn't care about these things; he still supported Bai Cang's free choice in love.

Bai Cang nodded happily and agreed:

"Yes! Don't worry, Father! I will marry her!"

"Ah...you...you...what did you say...?"

Upon hearing Bai Cang's words, Yu Lingxue's cheeks flushed bright red instantly, all the way to her ears. Her heart raced, and she stammered...

"Hahaha, okay, okay."

Bai Zhengzhi laughed loudly and waved his hand.

Then Zhou Heng and the others came over, chatted with Bai Zhengzhi for a few words, and then Bai Zhengzhi left first.

It was already late at night, and they were planning to go back to rest.

What happened tonight has left them all physically and mentally exhausted...

Zhou Heng, Yin Mengran, and Tang Zhi left in one car, while Bai Cang and Yu Lingxue left in another car.

In the car, Yu Lingxue leaned on Bai Cang's shoulder...

Her heart was pounding; it felt like a dream. She had finally ended the nightmare of being dominated by Yu Yinghai...

She kept wondering if her hard times were finally over, and if her good days were just around the corner...

Without that kind of father influencing me, I have a good job, so many good friends, and now... a wonderful lover...

"Hmm?" Bai Cang finally turned on his phone.

He had just seen the message from Yu Lingxue and looked puzzled.

I clicked on the voice message and played it...

"Bai Cang, I'm so sorry, we've only been together for a short time and I have to leave now. But the time I've spent with you has been the happiest time of my life..."

"Ahhh!" Upon hearing the voice message she had sent, Yu Lingxue immediately cried out in embarrassment.

He tried to snatch Bai Cang's phone, not wanting to listen anymore.

Her face was burning! Hearing what she had said, she was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into a hole in the ground!

"Haha... Oh, let me hear it!"

Bai Cang raised his hand to prevent Yu Lingxue from snatching the phone away, and continued listening...

"Bai Cang...I love you. If there's a next life, I still want to be your girlfriend..."

"Hey! What are you doing...?"

Upon hearing the last part, Yu Lingxue buried her head, covered her ears, and closed her eyes tightly, hoping it was all just a hallucination...

Seeing Yu Lingxue like this, Bai Cang smiled indulgently...

Then, he leaned against the car window, picked up his phone, pressed the voice message button, and whispered into the phone:

"I love you too. In this life, and the next life, and the life after that, you will always be my girlfriend..."

The message was sent, and Yu Lingxue received it on her phone...

Yu Lingxue lowered her hand, slowly raised her head, and looked at Bai Cang beside her, her pupils seemingly trembling...

Her lips were trembling slightly, as if she were about to cry...

Bai Cang raised his hand and gently stroked Yu Lingxue's cheek, smiling as he said:

"I will protect you for the rest of my life and never let you get hurt again..."

No sooner had Bai Cang finished speaking than Yu Lingxue pounced on him and kissed his lips fiercely!

"Well--"

Bai Cang was tackled to the ground by Yu Lingxue. His eyes widened in surprise.

However, he then slowly closed his eyes, embraced Yu Lingxue, and the two kissed passionately from behind...

----

A few days later, Yu Yinghai's case went to trial, and he was found guilty.

All of Yu Yinghai's criminal records were dug up, resulting in a huge stack of documents. In the end, even his lawyer gave up on the case...

Ultimately, Yu Yinghai was sentenced to death for numerous crimes, including intentional injury, intentional homicide, smuggling, kidnapping, bribery, offering bribes, and illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.

With one less vice president, Junheng temporarily handed over Yu Yinghai's work to Zhou Heng and Bai Zhengzhi respectively.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Junheng carried out another major reorganization, eliminating all of Yu Yinghai's remaining forces. This time, Junheng was finally united and there were no more factions secretly causing trouble.

Life returned to normal, and everyone resumed their peaceful lives...

However, some people are also feeling increasing pressure, and that's Zhou Heng...

As the days went by, he had more and more things to pay attention to...

First and foremost, his workload increased. He performed very well, but with great ability comes great responsibility, and he had to consider many more things. Even though Tang Zhi did her best to help him share the burden, Zhou Heng still had to do many things himself.

More importantly, there's Yin Mengran's side...

Several months have passed, and Yin Mengran is already showing...she has a belly...

Her workload was repeatedly reduced; every day, she was supposed to be at work, but in reality, she was just resting in the office during her pregnancy...

Zhou Heng also increased the frequency of his meetings with Yin Mengran, visiting her almost every one or two days, no matter how troublesome it was.

On this day, Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran were enjoying a quiet moment together when Zhou Heng suddenly received a message.

"Ok?"

"Who is it?" Yin Mengran looked at Zhou Heng and asked in confusion.

"Kong Yue..."

Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the person who sent him the message was Kong Yue.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"he..."

Zhou Heng was about to speak, but suddenly paused, glanced cautiously at Yin Mengran, and then whispered:

He said he was getting married and invited us to his wedding...
