Chapter 74: Damn It! The Psychopathic Male Lead Only Wants Forced Romance [30]

Bai Yan abruptly looked up at the person beside him. He still wanted to stop Gu Yu, but Gu Yu had already blurted it out:

"Actually, A Yan and I are already together."

Gu Yu couldn't suppress the grin spreading across his face—his eyes and brows were full of smiles.

Anyone with eyes could see how happy he was at this moment.

Gu Yu was inwardly smug. He had finally found the right opportunity to say it out loud.

Even if Bai Yan didn't want to get a marriage certificate with him yet, some things should still be locked in early.

At least with this layer of relationship, he could openly teach those who coveted his man a lesson!

Bai Yan's gaze gradually went cold. He wasn't foolish and could clearly see that Gu Yu was doing this deliberately.

Perhaps even the fight with Lin Zhibai earlier was just to get Bai's parents to suspect their relationship now, and then use that as an opening to reveal it.

Seriously...

But he couldn't deny it. They'd done everything they should have and everything they shouldn't have. In a sense, they really were together.

Although he didn't care about this—in his view, if Gu Yu couldn't provide him with luck, given their relationship as the hero and the villain—

He wouldn't even give Gu Yu a decent look, let alone get intimate with him.

Even if that kind of relationship had occurred, labels and formalities didn't matter.

But he still had to maintain his image in front of the Bai family...

That Gu Yu guy had probably calculated this long ago. If he denied it now, Gu Yu might say something even more outrageous.

Bai Yan's mind raced as he weighed his options.

At this moment, Bai's parents and Bai Jinsheng all looked at him at once, somewhat complicated, with a hint of wariness and curiosity.

"A Yan, are you two actually together?"

"When did this start? Why didn't you say anything?"

Bai's parents asked cautiously. Bai Jinsheng glanced at Gu Yu, then pulled Bai Yan aside and dropped his voice,

"A Yan, be honest with your brother—has Xiao Yu been bullying you or threatening you?"

"Don't worry, I'll always be your big brother. I won't let anyone mess with you."

Bai Yan didn't know why Bai Jinsheng was suddenly saying this.

But he had already weighed the pros and cons. Acknowledging his relationship with Gu Yu now wouldn't hurt him.

Hearing Bai Jinsheng's words, Bai Yan simply blinked,

"No, he hasn't bullied me or threatened me. Don't worry, big brother."

If you really wanted to talk about who bullied whom...

He'd used sex and all those intimate moments to drain Gu Yu's luck, yet refused to admit to their relationship.

All things considered, wasn't he the one bullying Gu Yu?

Bai Yan thought to himself, pressing his lips together.

Seeing him like this, Bai Jinsheng didn't look relieved—he looked even more worried.

He hadn't spent much time with Gu Yu.

But in his eyes, Bai Yan had always been a very well-behaved child. He wouldn't suddenly start dating another man without telling his family.

Coupled with the vicious move Gu Yu had just made against Lin Zhibai, he had seen it clearly.

Especially when he was breaking up the fight, he could clearly feel that Gu Yu deliberately targeted areas that wouldn't leave obvious marks.

Bai Jinsheng hadn't had much contact with Gu Yu and didn't know him well. This was also the first time he'd seen Gu Yu look so ruthless.

He seriously wondered if Gu Yu was trying to beat Lin Zhibai to death.

Now hearing Gu Yu say that, and noticing the strange look that had flickered across Bai Yan's face earlier...

Bai Jinsheng really couldn't help but read too much into it. He looked into Bai Yan's slightly confused eyes, sighed softly, and said with some helplessness:

"A Yan, if Xiao Yu bullies you, you must tell me."

Even though Gu Yu was his biological younger brother, he still leaned toward Bai Yan and couldn't bear to see him being bullied.

As he spoke, Bai Jinsheng raised his hand and gently ruffled Bai Yan's hair, still feeling a little troubled inside.

His younger brother was so well-behaved. What if he got tricked?

However, Gu Yu was still a member of the Bai family after all. Handing him over to Gu Yu was definitely more reassuring than handing him to a stranger. If anything happened in the future, it would be right under their noses, and they could watch over them.

Bai Jinsheng was rarely this conflicted. From a young age, he had been raised as the heir of the Bai family and was used to weighing these kinds of decisions.

His younger brother only needed to be doted on and protected.

There was no need to marry for the family's sake or do anything else. He just needed to be himself and do what he wanted.

As for who he liked, whether it was a man or a woman, they didn't care at all.

Meanwhile, Bai's parents had also pulled Gu Yu aside and were asking him many questions about his relationship with Bai Yan. They really wanted to know when exactly Gu Yu had started dating Bai Yan.

Unlike Bai Jinsheng's worries, Bai's parents were thrilled about this.

What they had initially worried about was that these two children would grow apart because of their identities. Both were dear to them, and they didn't want to lose either of them.

Now it was fine. If the two of them ended up together, all their previous worries would disappear. They would truly be a real family in the future.

Gu Yu said it was love at first sight, that he'd pursued Bai Yan relentlessly, and only then did Bai Yan agree to be with him. The two hadn't done anything inappropriate.

"Mom, Dad, don't worry. I'd never bully A Yan. I'll definitely take good care of him."

Gu Yu promised earnestly. Bai Jinsheng's eyes darkened as he couldn't help asking:

"Is that why I've seen you coming out of A Yan's room so many times?"

He hadn't thought much of it before, just assuming they had a good brotherly relationship. He'd even felt relieved and glad.

After all, they'd had way too much on their plate during that time.

If Bai Yan and Gu Yu were to fall out right now and cause more trouble, it would really be a headache for a while.

But now, thinking about how it was his own money that had pushed them to go out and have fun, only for Gu Yu to use those chances to sweep the person off their feet, Bai Jinsheng, even though he had convinced himself, still found his teeth itching inexplicably at the thought.

Gu Yu met his gaze without a trace of guilt, instead lowering his eyes and speaking in a somewhat dejected tone,

"Sorry, I'm afraid of the dark. Back at the orphanage, they used to lock me in a little storage room..."

Gu Yu only said half of it, his eyelashes fluttering, leaving plenty of room for the imagination to fill in the rest.

Bai Jinsheng's words, which had been on the tip of his tongue, got stuck in his throat. He stared blankly at Gu Yu, his feelings even more tangled.

Bai's parents were heartbroken and quickly moved to comfort him.

But only Bai Yan knew this guy was putting on a show.

Gu Yu had indeed spent some time in the orphanage, but far from being bullied or locked in a dark room, others would be lucky if he didn't cause them trouble.

Bai Jinsheng hesitated, then finally spoke, his voice full of guilt:

"Sorry, Xiao Yu, I didn't know... It's fine, the company matters are wrapped up for now. If you're really scared, you can come sleep with me."

In Bai Jinsheng's eyes was the affection and concern of an older brother for his younger one, tinged with guilt.

He felt he really didn't know this younger brother well enough.

The fact that he'd hit someone so hard earlier was probably because he'd been bullied in the orphanage and had to fight back, which was why he'd turned out this way.

Bai Jinsheng felt he had to get to know this newly found brother better, and his gaze gradually hardened with resolve.

But as Gu Yu listened, his body stiffened for a moment. He raised his eyes to stare at Bai Jinsheng, his gaze firm, his tone dead serious with a hint of urgency,

"No need for that!"
