Dong Xin Yan had been keeping her distance from Gu Ningyi, but upon hearing his words, she couldn’t care about anything else. Her hands swiftly grasped Gu Ningyi’s arms, and she quickly said, "I’m sorry, it was me who lied. I did go to the detention center, I did go to see Ziyang. I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."
As Dong Xin Yan spoke, tears streamed down her face, and her voice became increasingly choked with every word.
It turned out that paper really couldn’t wrap fire, and lies indeed had retribution. But why was it that visiting her fiancé became a lie she had to tell?
Dong Xin Yan didn’t want to cry in front of Gu Ningyi, but the tears came so fiercely that she couldn’t stop them. By the end, she was almost incoherent.
Gu Ningyi had stopped speaking as soon as he heard Dong Xin Yan’s first choked sob. He looked at her apologizing so urgently, looked at her hands gripping his arms so tightly that her fingertips turned white, and looked at her tears, dropping heavily from the corners of her eyes.
It was as if... they were hitting his heart.
This was the third time Dong Xin Yan cried in front of him.
Each time, it was because of Cheng Ziyang.
The first time, he felt uncomfortable. The second time, he felt sore. And this time, he started to feel pain.
Suddenly, a severe pain struck in his chest, causing his steps to falter slightly, almost losing his balance.
It shouldn’t be , it couldn’t be . For Dong Xin Yan to cry over Cheng Ziyang, why should he feel pain? Why should he feel heartache?
What right did Dong Xin Yan have to affect him?
He wouldn’t let her affect him. When he was eighteen, he had made a foolish mistake and almost lost his light forever. Now, he wouldn’t be foolish again, absolutely not!
Gu Ningyi took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the chaotic emotions within him, then reached out, grabbing Dong Xin Yan by the collar without a hint of mercy, pulling her to him.
His hand clenched tightly into a fist. Dong Xin Yan was lifted slightly off the ground, her feet almost unable to touch the floor.
All of a sudden, Dong Xin Yan found it hard to breathe, her face turning pale as paper, her body trembling even more violently.
"Dong Xin Yan, I’m telling you for the last time, you belong to me now. Everything about you is mine. If you dare see that damned Cheng Ziyang again, I’ll make sure you can never see him for the rest of your life!"
Gu Ningyi’s words were harsh and rapid, laced with extreme coldness, and that cold seemed to penetrate her skin, seep into her body, chilling her to the point her teeth chattered.
"Remember that clearly!"
Gu Ningyi uttered each word with gritted teeth, then forcefully pushed Dong Xin Yan away.
Dong Xin Yan stumbled back two steps, weakly collapsing to the ground again. Gu Ningyi looked at her pale face, her tear-streaked cheeks as his hands trembled involuntarily.
He clenched his fists tightly, resolutely turned, and walked away briskly!
He wouldn’t relent, he wouldn’t! Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs N0velFire.ɴet
Gu Ningyi held his breath, walked out of the villa with large strides, opened the car door, and sat inside. Starting the engine, he knew he could leave here and escape all the troubles with just the press of the gas pedal.
But his foot wouldn’t comply. Gu Ningyi tried several times, yet to no avail, and his brows furrowed deeply.
Gu Ningyi, you really are crazy.
