President, please comfort me.

Chapter 172 Will you come home with me?

"Bear with it?" Chen Nuo turned to look at him, his ears burning as if a fire was burning inside them.

"Is there a reward for being obedient?" Ye Linshuang's bright, star-like eyes were filled with a hint of cunning as he stared straight at her, always looking out for his own benefit.

Chen Nuo was taken aback at first, then hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist Ye Lin's expectant gaze. She leaned closer and whispered a sentence.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin's aggrieved expression vanished instantly, replaced by pure joy. He happily pulled her into his arms, saying, "Because it's you, I've been looking forward to it."

Before going to sleep, Ye Lin's deep voice quietly rang out in the dark room: "Baby, will you come home with me tomorrow? I really want to take you to meet my parents."

Chen Nuo, who was just drifting off to sleep, was suddenly jolted awake by those words. Her sleepiness vanished instantly, and she asked in surprise, "Go home?"

"Hmm, would you like to come home with me?"

Time passed by, and the room became so quiet that only their breathing could be heard.

Just when Ye Lin almost thought Chen Nuo was going to reject him, a soft and pleasant voice came to his ear: "I do."

Those three simple words instantly dispelled all of Ye Lin's unease.

-

The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on the earth.

Ye Lin led Chen Nuo back to the capital before noon.

Inside the spacious and luxurious private room, soft lighting bathed everyone present. Few were surprised to see Ye Lin confidently leading Chen Nuo in.

Only Tang Yue, who was slow to catch the news, gaped in an "O" shape, extremely excited, and couldn't wait to ask, "Wow, Brother Ye Lin, when did you win over Sister Chen Nuo?"

"Are you making such a fuss, Xiaoyue? Your brother is incredibly charming. Winning over Nuonuo was a piece of cake for me!" Ye Lin, who had been holding back for so long, finally felt a surge of pride and blurted out his smugness.

However, he got a little carried away and only remembered to check Chen Nuo's reaction after he finished speaking. He began to worry that she might not like him or might expose his shortcomings.

However, to his surprise and delight, Chen Nuo not only didn't say anything, but instead gave him a coquettish look, which was indeed full of doting affection.

Ye Lin's mouth was stretched into a huge grin. Was this the perk of being "obedient"?

He gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Chen Nuo, and the two sat down together. As soon as they sat down, he held Chen Nuo's hand tightly again.

"Xiao Nuo, I didn't expect you to dare to run to Beicheng in the pouring rain. Tsk, you've got guts." Wen Qi's angle perfectly captured their movements, and seeing the two of them inseparable like conjoined twins, she couldn't help but tease them.

"I didn't think too much at the time, I just wanted to see him safe and sound." Chen Nuo's big eyes unconsciously glanced at the man beside her, revealing a trace of concern and tenderness.

Lanling also joked with a smile, "Brother Ye Lin, our Xiao Nuo has a first-rate personality. She is gentle as water, understanding, considerate, and thoughtful. Don't bully her in the future."

Hearing Chen Nuo say this, Ye Lin felt as if a spring breeze had swept through his heart. Regardless of how many people were around, he reached out and gently placed a hand on her shoulder, his lips curving upwards as he said, "How could I possibly bully Nuonuo? You can all rest assured. I just can't wait to marry her and pamper her as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started to cheer.

Ye Lin looked completely calm and composed, while Chen Nuo blushed deeply with embarrassment.

The men exchanged smiles, raised their glasses, and clinked them together in the air, celebrating that their brother had finally won the heart of his beloved.

After the meal, since Chen Nuo was going home with Ye Lin in the afternoon, she thought she would make some pastries to take with her, so the girls went to the hotel's bakery together.

Four grown men sat together playing cards to pass the time.

Once Xiao He was sure Wen Qi and the others were far away, he immediately threw down the cards and said seriously, "After the New Year, I plan to give Qi Bao a surprise and hold the wedding I owe her. Time is tight, so I have to start preparing now."

Holding a grand and solemn wedding is no easy task, especially with December just around the corner. It's clearly unrealistic to expect Xiao and himself to do it alone.

Some trivial matters could have been handled by subordinates, but Xiao He strives for perfection and is worried that they might be too extravagant or careless. Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to entrust them to Tang Chao and his team, which would give him more peace of mind.

Tang Chao, who had been lazily leaning back on the sofa, couldn't help but smile and raise an eyebrow: "Sure, just tell me what you need to do."

Yang Xu had just opened the game interface when he heard this and immediately looked at him: "I'm available anytime." His face was full of enthusiasm and excitement.

"Not bad, Brother Xiao. I've only just begun, and you've already taken another step forward. Is that why you wanted me to come back early?" Ye Lin played with playing cards, his legs crossed and casually placed on the coffee table, reverting to his usual carefree demeanor.

“Well, I plan to…” Xiao He began to talk at length about the general framework of the wedding.

Inside the bakery, the women were laughing and chatting happily.

Wearing an apron, Chen Nuo skillfully kneaded the dough to make pastries.

Tang Yue watched curiously from the side, occasionally sneaking out her hand to pinch a small amount of the ingredients and put it in her mouth to taste it. Her adorable appearance made people smile.

Wen Qi and Lan Ling stood a little further away, teasing and joking with each other.

"Xiao Nuo, the pastries you made are so cute! They're sure to melt Ye Lin's parents' hearts." Lan Ling exclaimed sincerely, pointing to the various lifelike animal-shaped pastries.

"This, this, and this, these are all so delicious! Sister Chen Nuo, your cooking is amazing!" Tang Yue, like a little glutton, praised him indistinctly, her mouth stuffed with cookies and each hand holding a small cake.

Wen Qi winked at Chen Nuo and said with considerable experience, "As the saying goes, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Hehe, with Xiao Yue being so virtuous, Brother Ye Lin will be in for a treat in the future, he'll definitely be fed to his heart's content."

Chen Nuo felt embarrassed by their comments: "Oh dear, you guys are exaggerating..." As she spoke, she deftly and steadily placed the last baking tray into the oven.

Then, turning around, a hint of nervousness suddenly appeared on her face: "Xiaoqi, Lanlan, you two have already met their parents, so tell me, is there anything we should be careful about in such a wealthy family?"

Before Wen Qi and Lan Ling could speak, Tang Yue quickly waved her hand to comfort them, "Don't worry, don't worry, there's no need to be so particular! Aunt Ye and Uncle Ye are both very easy to get along with."

“Yes, indeed.” Wen Qi and Lan Ling nodded.

An hour later, Xiao and Ye Lin finished their discussion and Ye Lin checked the time before getting up and going to the bakery.

As soon as he stepped inside, a sweet aroma wafted towards him, and seeing Chen Nuo's focused profile, his heart was filled with love.

Around three o'clock, everyone went home, and Ye Lin took Chen Nuo back to the Governor's Mansion.
