Dong Xin Yan didn’t know why, out of nowhere, Gu Ningyi suddenly got angry. His demeanor was truly terrifying, so terrifying that cold sweat gradually seeped out from her spine.
He just looked at her without speaking, but his menacing aura grew stronger and stronger. Fear churned inside her, and Dong Xin Yan began to tremble slightly, even gradually finding it difficult to breathe.
Her jaw hurt, but she could only ignore it and forced a slight smile, trying to speak in a calm voice, "Wha... what happened?"
Even though she tried to control it, Dong Xin Yan’s voice still carried an undeniable tremor and fear.
The anger in her heart rolled and boiled, driving Gu Ningyi to do something, to vent those inexplicable, strange, and troubling emotions. But seeing Dong Xin Yan’s frightened eyes and hearing her fearful voice, she reverted to her previous self, as if the Dong Xin Yan who was cheerful, smiling, and speaking in a light tone earlier was just his hallucination.
As she was now, he found her extremely displeasing to the eye.
His hand gripping her chin unconsciously exerted force, causing Dong Xin Yan to break out in a cold sweat from the pain. Her face, already somewhat pale, turned even whiter under the light, almost translucent.
Perhaps due to fear and tension, Dong Xin Yan suddenly started coughing heavily. The unnatural flush on her pale cheeks made her entire delicate face crumple in discomfort.
Gu Ningyi looked at her, his hand recoiling as if it had been burnt, suddenly letting go.
Dong Xin Yan coughed for quite a while before she gradually stopped. As soon as the coughing subsided, the whole villa became silent, with only her still uneven breathing audible.
Dong Xin Yan lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Gu Ningyi at all.
Just now, although Gu Ningyi was only gripping her chin, it felt to her as if he were strangling her neck.
Even though she didn’t know what had angered Gu Ningyi again, she realized that no matter how calm he appeared on the surface, he could change face in an instant. She was foolish to relax her guard just because he smiled at her. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn Nove1Fire.net
No matter what, apologizing surely can’t be wrong, right?
Dong Xin Yan took a light breath, slightly closing her eyes. Her lips trembled a little, and she whispered, word by word, "I... I’m sorry."
Hearing Dong Xin Yan’s trembling voice saying those three words of apology, Gu Ningyi’s hand involuntarily started to shake.
His eyebrows furrowed deeply, the anger in his heart burning hotter and rampaging inside his body without release. He clenched his hands more tightly, his dark eyes staring intently at Dong Xin Yan, but ultimately he said nothing. He simply turned and walked towards the stairs.
After taking only two steps, he paused, his low and cold voice, devoid of any warmth, echoed, "Don’t pry into my affairs anymore!"
With that, he stepped forward again and ascended the stairs without looking back.
Dong Xin Yan sat dazed on the sofa for over a minute, blinking slowly as she realized... Gu Ningyi was angry because she asked about his personal matters?
But he was the one who agreed that she could ask, yet when she did, he flipped out? What kind of person is he!
Speechless, Dong Xin Yan furiously waved her fist in the direction Gu Ningyi had left!
