He just stood there, watching Dong Xin Yan’s departing figure, with an inexplicable dull pain in his heart, and his hand unconsciously covered it, his brow furrowing deeply.
He lowered his eyes slightly; scattered on the ground were the invitation cards that Dong Xin Yan had discarded, and he seemed to feel as if he too had been discarded by her...
That night, he suffered from insomnia for the first time.
And he didn’t know if it was because of the anger from Dong Xin Yan or because of those inexplicable and chaotic emotions in his heart.
He almost kept his eyes open until dawn.
Even at breakfast, he asked a particularly ridiculous question, he asked his mother, if he went abroad to study, would Dong Xin Yan follow him?
Even now, he still clearly remembers the surprised look on his mother’s face when she said, "Ning Yi, haven’t you always disliked Xinxin following you?"
Indeed, he clearly disliked Dong Xin Yan following him, like a shadow, always present, observing his every move.
But why then, did he suddenly not want this shadow to leave?
After breakfast, he unknowingly walked to the backyard, where a building stood, it was the residence for all the Gu Family servants, drivers, and bodyguards.
Dong Xin Yan and her father lived in that building.
He didn’t even know why he walked there, but when he came to his senses, he was already standing at the door of Dong Xin Yan’s room.
He stared blankly at the tightly closed door for several seconds and suddenly found himself ridiculous, why did he come here? Could it be, he wanted to ask Dong Xin Yan to stay?
Was he joking? Googlᴇ search N0velFire.ɴet
Why would he want to keep such an annoying woman? If she wanted to leave, she should do so quickly, so as not to be an eyesore!
He turned around wanting to leave, but his feet wouldn’t move.
He frowned, pursed his lips, and tried hard to lift his foot, yet it felt like it was nailed to the ground, unable to rise.
Damn it, he cursed under his breath.
Then suddenly, the door opened, his body stiffened abruptly, and he felt strangely guilty as if caught in the act.
Although he didn’t know what he was feeling guilty about.
Still, he quickly composed himself, raising his eyes with his usual cold expression.
But the person who came out was not Dong Xin Yan, but Uncle Dong.
Uncle Dong told him that Dong Xin Yan had packed her things early in the morning and went with her good friend Qin Qian back to her hometown to have fun, and would return in a month.
A month later, precisely the time he was to go to the United States.
So, since the end of the college entrance examination, she didn’t want to see him anymore, she wanted to completely cut ties with him.
After the evening banquet, Yuan Shen gathered a bunch of brothers for an after-party; Gu Ningyi downed several bottles of wine and heard unintentionally that Yuan Shen said his little girlfriend Qin Qian’s hometown was in City A. He wasn’t even sure what he was thinking at the time, but suddenly he grabbed the car keys, stumbled out of the bar, opened the car door, got into the car, started it, and stepped on the gas pedal.
The car was a gift he had recently received, and while he wasn’t very experienced, the speed was exceptional. Stepping on the gas, the speed skyrocketed. He wasn’t very drunk, but his mind was quite confused because he didn’t know what exactly he wanted to do, he just knew he needed to see Dong Xin Yan now.
She was his shadow, and why should a shadow discard its master?
If anyone should discard the other, it should be him discarding her!
Suddenly, a car approached from the opposite direction, with the high beams glaring straight into his eyes...
