So good that, even though she’s so upset, she still forces a smile. So good that, even though she hates Gu Ningyi, she still pretends as if nothing happened.
Listening to Dong Xin Yan’s words, Gu Ningyi curved his lips, as if he found it amusing, but there wasn’t the slightest hint of a smile in his eyes. His hands left the sink, he turned around, walked towards Dong Xin Yan, then knelt down on one knee.
He was right in front of her, blocking all the light, as if trapping her in darkness.
Gu Ningyi’s black eyes lazily swept over her, his gaze landing on the phone she was tightly clutching in her hands. The light in his eyes was a bit cold, but his voice was calm and lazy.
"Since it’s broken, just buy a new one. In the meantime, you can clear unnecessary things."
As Gu Ningyi spoke, he reached out, his long fingers pinching the phone, trying to pull it from her hands. Dong Xin Yan reflexively tightened her grip, and Gu Ningyi didn’t force it, simply stopped the movement, his brows slightly raised, blandly uttering, "Hmm?"
His calm voice carried an invisible pressure, causing Dong Xin Yan’s hands to tremble hard before she eventually released her grip powerlessly, allowing Gu Ningyi to take the phone away.
He stood up, took long strides, and directly left the bathroom. Dong Xin Yan collapsed to the ground, tears streaming out without warning. She hurriedly stretched out her hands to cover her eyes.

Dong Xin Yan didn’t know how long she sat in the bathroom, until her whole body was numb. Only then did she slowly regain her senses. She propped herself up and turned on the faucet, seriously washed her face, seeming to recover somewhat.
She looked at herself in the mirror, eyes swollen and a face of exhaustion. The good complexion she had regained over the past few days vanished overnight.
She still had to beautifully meet Ziyang, so... She absolutely couldn’t be knocked down by Gu Ningyi, absolutely not!
Dong Xin Yan clenched her fist tightly, secretly encouraging herself. Once her mood was collected, she walked out of the bathroom.
Gu Ningyi was no longer in the bedroom. On the bed lay the robe he had changed out of, it seemed he had left.
Dong Xin Yan let out a slight sigh of relief. To be honest, no matter how much she tried to cheer herself up, she was still very afraid to see Gu Ningyi, still very afraid to face him.
When he was around, no matter how large and spacious the villa was, she felt extremely cramped. The moment he left, the air became incomparably fresh.
Dong Xin Yan casually glanced at the robe on the bed. Something seemed pressed under it. She walked over, took a closer look, and found a card. It was a Black Card.
Dong Xin Yan bent slightly, picked up the Black Card, held it in her hand, looked at it, then suddenly, the corners of her lips curled up, her eyes filled with deep sarcasm.
Gu Ningyi broke her phone, and now he gives her a card. Is it for her to buy a new phone?
To actually give an unlimited Black Card, truly deserving of being the eldest son of the Gu Family, making a move in such a big way indeed.
If she could, she would really hope to swipe Gu Ningyi into bankruptcy, to see how he would continue to look down on people from above.
Dong Xin Yan stared at the Black Card, laughed coldly twice, then without hesitation threw the card into the trash can. Thinking about it, she also rolled up the robe on the bed, ruthlessly twisted it into a bundle, and threw it into the trash can as well.
Although such a release was childish, after doing all of this, the stuffiness in Dong Xin Yan’s heart eased quite a bit!
