25: Chapter 25 They don't understand love at all! Love is priceless! Long live true love!!!

Nightclub, VIP private room.

Warm yellow candlelight flickered, and the red wine glasses emitted a cold light.

Niu Feihang sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his face covered with a thick layer of liquid foundation, and his eyebrows meticulously groomed.

His greasy and pale gigolo vibe was nailed to a tee.

Just after cutting the steak for Chen Xingyue, he looked up and saw her hang up the phone, her face taut and her brows bearing obvious irritability.

A trace of calculation flashed quickly across his eyes.

Then his face fell, and his voice became soft and aggrieved:

"Yue-jie, what's wrong?"

"Did Uncle and Auntie scold you after finding out you are together with me?"

"..."

After finishing, he lowered his eyelashes, pulled a heartbreakingly bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, and said with a trembling voice:

"It's all my fault."

"Blame me for being incompetent, for failing to make a name for myself, and for not being able to give you a love of equal social status."

"That's why your family is so strongly opposed to us being together."

"..."

As soon as Chen Xingyue saw her boyfriend's fragile appearance of being deeply struck,

all her anger instantly vanished, and her heart softened directly into a puddle of water.

She leaned forward, reached out to tightly grip the back of Niu Feihang's hand, her gaze persistent and firm:

"Feifei, it has nothing to do with you at all!"

"I won't allow you to belittle yourself! In my heart, you are more outstanding than anyone else!"

"It's my family who are vulgar and superficial, with only money and family status in their eyes!!!"

"They only look at skin bags and status when judging people, yet they fail to see your full belly of talent and pure Heart-Nature!"

"They don't understand what love is at all!"

"Love is not a transaction! It's not about equal social status! It's not about how many zeros are behind the bank card balance!!!"

"Love is priceless! Long live true love!!!"

"..."

The corner of Niu Feihang's mouth twitched covertly.

This woman's values were really warped by idol dramas, knowing nothing about the sufferings of the mortal world.

Without the identity of the fourth Young Miss of the Chen family, who the fuck has the mood to play romance dramas with you???

Of course, on the surface, his eye sockets were still red, moved to slight trembling all over.

The more Chen Xingyue talked, the more carried away she got, her gaze so firm as if she was about to join the party!!!

"Feifei, believe me!"

"No matter how everyone in the family opposes it, I will definitely firmly stay with you!!!"

"Even if they confiscate my bank card, cut off my resources, and drive me out of the Chen family, I am not afraid!"

"At worst, I will quit my acting job and accompany you to deliver takeout and screw bolts in the factory!"

"Love can sustain you! As long as I can be with you, I, Chen Xingyue, am not afraid of any hardship! Even if I have to live in a basement, eat instant noodles, and ride shared bikes, I will gladly do it!"

Niu Feihang: "..."

This time he really couldn't hold it in, almost causing his expression to collapse on the spot.

Deliver takeout?

Screw bolts?

Live in a basement?

Does this woman have a sick brain???

Didn't he rack his brains to hook a wealthy Young Miss precisely so he wouldn't have to do these physical labor jobs?!!!

Otherwise, what do you think I'm after from you?

After your big temper? After your brainless romantic head? After your smacking lips when eating?!

Niu Feihang cursed inwardly though.

But he was well-versed in the essence of manipulating a romantic-brained person, suddenly turning his hand to grasp Chen Xingyue's hand, burying his head to cover his face, and crying bitterly on the spot.

The crying sound was aggrieved and broken:

"Yue-jie! You are too good! Being able to meet you is the blessing Niu Feihang cultivated in my past life!"

"But I can't be so selfish!"

"I am a man, how can I let you give up wealth and glory, follow me to suffer and endure hardship, and break ties with your family?!"

"..."

Speaking of this,

he paused, as if making some monumental determination, suddenly raised his head, and said with teary eyes:

"Yue-jie, I thought about it all night last night..."

"After finishing this meal, let's part on good terms."

"You continue to be your wealthy Young Miss, and I will continue... continue to be my eighteenth-tier minor actor."

"I wish you to find someone of equal social status in the future, accompanied by a good partner, and happy for a lifetime."

"..."

Speaking of the four words "part on good terms",

Niu Feihang seemed to have been poked by some switch, his emotions suddenly spinning out of control, covering his face with both hands and crying loudly:

"Yue-jie, I love you so much! I really, really love you!"

"But I can't bear to put you in a difficult position! I can't bear to let you argue with Uncle and Auntie because of me!"

"If... If my parents were also billionaires, that would be great..."

"Then I could be with you fair and square, and not implicate you in being gossiped about by others! No one would treat me as a gigolo coveting your family's wealth anymore..."

"It's a pity there are no ifs... Wuwu wuwu..."

"..."

Niu Feihang sniffled and raised his face, his eyeliner half ruined by crying, and his eye sockets red like a rabbit's.

"Although I consider my appearance, my eight-pack abs, and my unwavering love for you to be no less than anyone else in this world!"

"Yet I happened to lose in terms of my background..."

"Perhaps this is fate!"

"..."

Niu Feihang cried heart-rendingly, acting just like a tragic male lead torn apart by worldly prejudices.

And Chen Xingyue's tears finally breached the dam.

She raised her head, looking at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, weeping silently.

Two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks, dripping into the cocktail in front of her.

At this moment,

in the air, a tragic atmosphere so thick it couldn't be melted permeated.

The two of them looked just like a pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks unable to be together in love, making those who heard feel heartbroken and those who listened shed tears.

"Feifei, don't say anymore." Chen Xingyue wiped her tears, her gaze unprecedentedly firm.

"It is impossible for me to break up with you."

"My family is shortsighted and simply doesn't understand how outstanding you are!"

"But I know you have the qualifications of a Best Actor..."

"As the saying goes: The roc rises with the wind in a single day, soaring up ninety thousand li!"

"With your talent, becoming wildly popular and achieving godhood, becoming a household national Best Actor, is only a matter of time!"

"You just lack an opportunity, a good script that can break out!"

"And I... I am willing to become that woman who quietly supports you behind the scenes before you achieve godhood!"

"Accompanying you to fight against the entire world!!!"

"..."

At this moment, Niu Feihang was so moved he almost actually cried.

Not moved by love.

It was moved by this silly woman's naivety.

Qualifications of a Best Actor?

He couldn't even memorize his lines properly, acted in three plays and got scolded by directors in all three, becoming obscure beyond measure.

The only time he made it to the trending searches was because he read "gracing us with your presence" as "weilin".

If it weren't for this romantic-brained Chen Xingyue crazily spending money to buy internet trolls for him,

I'm afraid his acting career would have ended long ago due to the overwhelming public opinion.

However, none of this mattered.

Because his purpose tonight was not to talk about love in the first place.

Niu Feihang quickly put away his excess emotions, rubbed his eyes hard, squeezed out more tears, and said with a deeply moved face:

"Yue-jie."

"Having you is my blessing."

"..."

Then he stood up, picked up the cocktail shaker on the table, and slowly poured two cups.

The pink liquid rippled in the crystal cups, with a layer of fine bubbles floating on the surface, glowing with a seductive luster under the candlelight.

He picked up one of the cups and handed it to Chen Xingyue in front of him.

"I won't say much about words of love, those who understand know."

"Come, bottoms up on this glass of wine."

"Wishing our love to last forever, until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, never changing our hearts."

"..."

Chen Xingyue subconsciously reached out to take it, her fingertips just touching the cold cup wall when her movement abruptly paused.

In her mind, Chen Fan's inner voice from the afternoon flashed uncontrollably—

[Tonight, your good boyfriend will drug your wine glass.]

[After drugging you unconscious, he will personally strip off your clothes.]

[Send you naked to the beds of a dozen old men.]

[Let them trample on you at will.]

Chen Xingyue's hand froze in mid-air.

She lowered her head to look at the wine in the cup, her brows slightly furrowing.

Drugged wine... is this the color?

It doesn't seem any different from ordinary cocktails?

No, what are you thinking?

How could Feifei drug the wine?

He loves me so much, usually he doesn't even bear to say a harsh word, how could he do such a beastly thing???

But...

Why was that stinky younger brother's inner voice so certain?

Although he is very annoying, has a poisonous mouth, and a dark psychology...

Yet what he said seemed very specific?

Even the location, method, and motive were described so vividly and logically???

No no no—

Chen Xingyue, what are you thinking! How can you doubt Feifei!!!

He is the love of your life!!!

If you can't even trust him, what true love is there left to speak of in this world?!!

"Yue-jie?"

Niu Feihang saw her hesitate and not move, a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed across the depths of Niu Feihang's eyes.

Could it be that she discovered something?

It shouldn't be!

This drug was colorless and odorless, which he specially entrusted someone to purchase abroad.

Professional-grade aphrodisiac, completely transparent after dissolving, tasting no different from ordinary cocktails.

He quickly switched his expression, putting on a concerned smile, his voice so gentle it could pinch out water:

"Is Yue-jie not feeling well? If you're not feeling well, don't drink it, shall I pour you a cup of warm water?"

"Blame me for just being happy and not considering your body."

"..."

Advancing by retreating.

He had used this trick countless times, and it worked every single time.

Every time he pretended to care and pretended to concede,

Chen Xingyue would feel that she was being too willful, and then obediently listen.

Sure enough.

This meticulous consideration and care directly shattered the last bit of defense in Chen Xingyue's heart, and her slight doubts instantly vanished like smoke.

She was extremely ashamed, frantically cursing herself inwardly for having a brain cramp.

Feifei loved her so much, considered everything for her everywhere, and his heart and eyes were full of her. How could he do such a filthy thing as drugging her to harm her?!

She actually doubted him just now???

Doubt such a pure and sacred love???

Even if this doubt lasted for only a second, it was a betrayal of this unwavering love!!!!!!

She was simply heinous!!!

Damn it, blame that dark-minded biological younger brother!!!

Groundlessly slandering my Feifei! Disturbing this old lady's Dao Heart!!!

I'll settle accounts with him after going home!!!

Chen Xingyue bit her lip with vexation, gripped the wine glass tightly again, raised her head, and showed a bright and apologetic smile as she said:

"No need! I can drink!"

"I just dozed off earlier, nothing is wrong."

"..."

She raised her hand with the cup, preparing to drink it in one gulp.

Just at the moment when the wine was about to touch her lips——

A cold, arrogant imperial voice of the Immortal Venerable, full of schadenfreude, violently smashed into her mind!

[Jiejiejie——]

[Very good! Finally made it in time!]

[If it had been even a step later, this romantic-brained girl would have gulped down that drugged wine.]

[This Venerable followed this group of idiots racing all the way here, and the spiritual power oscillation almost hurt my Origin. If it had been a wasted trip, wouldn't it be a huge loss?]

[Fortunately, fortunately, the good show has just begun.]

Chen Xingyue: "?????? "

Her hand froze in mid-air, her brows knitted into knots.

This voice???

Why is it so familiar? Why is it so much like that dark-minded biological younger brother?

Auditory hallucination???

Why is he haunting me like a ghost?

Wherever I go, I can hear his inner voice mocking me?

Even though he is not here, how can his voice still ring in my head???

Before she could figure it out,

the door of the private room was suddenly kicked open from the outside by someone!!!

Bang——!!!
