She always wished to stay far, far away from him, the farther the better.
Gu Ningyi glanced at Dong Xin Yan from the side; since lying down, she turned her back to him and didn’t move the whole night, using her small back to isolate herself from him.
He slightly raised the corner of his lips, a hint of self-mockery flashing in his eyes. Chapters first released on novel※fire.net
Gu Ningyi lay on the bed for a while before getting up. He put on the bathrobe next to him and walked towards the bathroom while tying the belt.
In the bathroom, he turned on the tap, cupped some water, and washed his face. The coolness invaded, bringing a slight clarity to his muddled brain.
After washing up, he took a towel to wipe the water off his chin, and as he put down the towel, he saw a cell phone.
Gu Ningyi glanced at it. It was Dong Xin Yan’s phone.
How did her phone end up in the bathroom? Did she bring it in last night?
Gu Ningyi reached out to pick up the phone, flipped it over in his hand, and almost involuntarily lit up the screen. The first thing he saw was a photo of Cheng Ziyang.
His hand holding the phone suddenly tightened, his dark eyes narrowing as he stared intently at the photo.
Was Dong Xin Yan crying so heartbrokenly in the bathroom yesterday because she was looking at Cheng Ziyang’s photo?
Crawling out of bed in the middle of the night just to see Cheng Ziyang?
Truly infatuated indeed.
Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes were fixed on the photo. The corners of his lips curled up as he even laughed twice. Last night he felt heartache for Dong Xin Yan’s tears, unable to sleep the whole night because of her, only to realize she was merely missing her fiancé.
He forbade her from mentioning him in front of him, so she didn’t, but secretly, she was always thinking of Cheng Ziyang. Perhaps, even when she was with him, she was looking at him while thinking of Cheng Ziyang.
Gu Ningyi’s expression instantly turned gloomy, a hint of sharpness in his eyes, as suppressed anger seemed to ignite, spreading rapidly through his body.
Gu Ningyi gripped the phone tightly in his hand, veins bulging on the back of his hand, slightly trembling.
Suddenly, the phone beeped, the screen lit up, showing a notification.
Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes glanced over; it was a reminder. After reading each word, his entire being erupted with anger.
The phone in his hand was smashed down heavily, instantly shattering into pieces, the screen cracked, and the photo and notification disappeared completely.
Dong Xin Yan didn’t sleep well that night either, so when a loud bang suddenly came from the bathroom, she opened her eyes abruptly.
She stared blankly at the ceiling for a few seconds before slowly sitting up, her eyes still showing traces of shock.
What was that sound just now? It sounded like something being smashed, coming from the bathroom...
Dong Xin Yan instinctively looked towards the other side of the bed, which was already empty. She furrowed her brows slightly, a hint of doubt in her eyes. Could it be that Gu Ningyi was smashing things in the bathroom?
Why such a big temper so early in the morning? It’s just early, what time is it?
Dong Xin Yan instinctively reached for her cell phone on the bedside table, but after fumbling for a while and not finding it, she suddenly remembered that she brought it into the bathroom last night and seemingly didn’t take it out.
Then... could what Gu Ningyi smashed just now be her phone?
But, her phone didn’t have a grudge against Gu Ningyi, why would he smash it for no reason? No... her phone had Ziyang’s photos, and also...
