The Big Devil vs. the Dark Villain

The banquet was held as scheduled, and all the important people in Delta who received the invitation attended the dinner on time.

The most talked about families were the Nan and Ling.

No one expected that a second-rate family would accidentally encounter the head of the Ling family who became a male favorite, which would cause a shock to the entire upper class.

"Have you heard about it? It turns out that the male favorite that Nan Huazhang brought with him was actually the male favorite that the Ling family bought to become the head of the family."

"I heard that before, that person surrounded the Nan family because of love and hatred, but it also exposed many undercover agents sent by the country hiding among us."

"Those people are really something. They still haven't given up and want to annex us."

"But what do you think about the Nan family's desire to become one of the top families?"

"What else can we do? Let's see what other families say."

Nan Zhiyi stood indifferently on the attic watching the conversation below, until Ling Yu appeared behind him in a custom-made suit, and then the two of them walked down together.

Along the way, he met Mickey and Silver Snake, who had become the new heads of the Su family.

Qin Heng had already been waiting downstairs.

As soon as they appeared, they instantly became the focus of the whole place. Everyone fell silent except Zhao Yi, the patriarch of the Zhao family, who stood up and walked over.

"Uncle Zhao, long time no see.

I think everyone knows why we are holding the banquet today, so I won't be polite anymore. Let's finish the voting and celebrate early."

Nan Zhiyi raised the glass and gestured to him. Although she was looking at the person in front of her, her words were not just directed at him.

Zhao Yi smiled and responded with a sigh, but he didn't seem particularly dissatisfied.

"When did Xiaoyi become so impatient?

You now have the support of the three top families, which can be said to be the popular choice. How can I go against the wind? Naturally, it is icing on the cake.

I wish you all the best in advance.”

Old fox.

Nan Zhiyi also said some polite words in response, then smiled faintly as he watched the people below vote.

Those who have made it to where they are today are not stupid people, and naturally they would not do anything to seek death by being unconventional. Soon everyone approved the proposal - the Nan family became a top family.

The stable situation of four opposing parties in the Delta has been broken, and new opportunities and challenges will come.

After the banquet, Nan Zhiyi did not take Ling Yu home directly, but took her to an unfamiliar place.

At a glance, cold stone tablets stand among the blue iris orchids.

Holding beautiful carnations in their hands, the two of them came to the front stone tablet and stood still.

"Ling, I think you should be clear that I am a citizen of Xia Country just like you."

Nan Zhiyi put down the bouquet solemnly, bowed to them respectfully, then looked out at the endless stone tablet and spoke slowly.

"You were sold here innocently, but I chose to come here on my own, carrying the wishes and mission of my ancestors.

It’s a pity that I may not be able to see the scene of materialism and universal peace.

I have tried my best but can only get this far. Ling, are you willing to take a look for me to see how far I have come in the end?

This road is too difficult, I don’t want you to walk it.”

Nan Zhiyi said this with tears in her eyes, turned around and looked at him.

Ling Yu was stunned, pursed his lips, tilted his head slightly, and answered the question irrelevantly.

"Do you still remember our agreement?"

"I remember. How could I forget?"

That day...

"Homeowner..."

He Yongqiang looked at Nan Zhiyi, who was sitting quietly at the dining table, with a serious expression, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

In the dim room, only the flickering candlelight on the table illuminates the world.

Nan Zhiyi looked at the candlelight quietly, the jumping flames reflected in his eyes. The dim light made it impossible to see what was going on in his eyes.

"Uncle He, no one can stop me from doing what I want to do. Put down the wine and leave."

He Yongqiang sighed silently, put the red wine away and left.

After a while, the door opened, brisk footsteps were heard, followed by excited voices.

"Ayi, I heard from Uncle He that you came to see me and prepared a surprise for me."

Ling Yu happily came to the dining table, and looked at the sumptuous food and the cake with candles on it, and smiled even more happily.

He pulled over a chair and sat opposite Nan Zhiyi.

Looking at Nan Zhiyi quietly looking at the candlelight with her head slightly lowered, with an unclear expression on her face, he felt his heart skip a beat.

The smile faded a little. Looking at the food and wine on the table that had been spiked with ingredients, he felt bitter and quiet.

(Hehuan powder has two flavors, yin and yang. Either one is poisonous, but taken together, it is harmless.)

Nan Zhiyi raised her head and looked at him indifferently without blinking.

"Ling, do you still love me now?" The cold voice was filled with temptation and seduction.

Ling Yu blinked her dry eyes, suppressed the bitterness, and looked at him with as much smile as possible.

"Love."

"Then, if I die and want you to be buried with me, will you still love me?"

Ling Yuming knew that the person on the other side wanted to kill him despite such frank and undisguised words, but he still responded firmly.

"Love."

Hearing such a firm and loving answer, Nan Zhiyi smiled. It was like the melting of ice and snow, giving people a very beautiful feeling.

The words he spoke were cold and merciless.

"Then let's start eating.

Today is my 20th birthday, and it may be the last time I celebrate my birthday. Thank you, Yu, for spending it with me."

"it is good."

Ling Yu responded with a smile and ate all the food that Nan Zhiyi added to his plate. Although it was a sweet cake, he felt it was unusually bitter.

Suddenly, a hard object hit my teeth.

Ling Yu took it out in a daze, looking at the ring that was stained with cream and glowing under the candlelight. Her eyes suddenly felt hot and tears flowed silently.

Nan Zhiyi was looking at the other person with a smile and expectation.

Suddenly I saw someone crying, and I was at a loss for what to do. I took out a handkerchief from my bag and gently wiped his tears. His voice was incredibly gentle.

"Ling, let's get married after the party, okay? That way no one can separate us."

Ling Yu grabbed Nan Zhiyi's hand, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and asked in panic.

"Hasn't our bet expired yet? Why did it expire earlier?"
