The high heels lightly tapped on the floor as Yuan Shi elegantly walked towards the restroom. Mentioning her boyfriend, she couldn’t help but think of Gu Ningyi again.
Since their unhappy parting at the hospital last time, he hadn’t contacted her again. At first, she held a grudge and was unwilling to contact him, but after the anger subsided, there was only sadness and anxiety.
All these years, he had always known her feelings, yet had never shown any particular affection towards her. To her, it was a harsh wake-up call.
What she thought was unique was nothing but a joke.
And the anxiety was, having pierced this thin veil, would she be unable to pretend to be his friend and stay by Gu Ningyi’s side in the future?
She had seen how heartless Gu Ningyi could be towards women over the years. She simply couldn’t be treated the same as those women by Gu Ningyi.
Thinking of Gu Ningyi, Yuan Shi’s eyes filled with a glimmer of gloom.
Zhou Yalin had a spat with Gu Ningyi last time and then left angrily for the United States. It had been almost half a year now. With her and Gu Ningyi apart for so long, it should have been Yuan Shi’s best chance to seize the opportunity, yet she hadn’t, and she couldn’t just be disqualified .
Should she call Gu Ningyi later to make peace?
With so many years of feelings, surely if she took the initiative to reconcile, he wouldn’t remain angry with her. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel•fire.net
Thinking this, Yuan Shi felt a bit better, and Gu Ningyi’s figure involuntarily floated into her mind. Her lips curled up slightly, and then, when she looked up, she saw that familiar figure etched into her very bones.
Yuan Shi was stunned for a moment, thinking she was just imagining things, but after blinking, the figure didn’t disappear and was indeed standing right in front of her.
Yuan Shi’s eyes suddenly brightened. What a fate! She had just thought of Gu Ningyi, and here he was, appearing before her. It seemed today was their opportunity to reconcile.
Yuan Shi’s face lit up with a smile. She was about to call out Gu Ningyi’s name, but another voice beat her to it.
Yuan Shi watched as a figure quickly rushed out from the side restroom, grabbed Gu Ningyi’s collar, and then shoved him heavily against the wall. The entire movement carried a strong momentum, executed in one go.
She was so taken aback by that momentum that the words she was about to say got swallowed back down her throat. She instinctively looked to see who had such bravery.
She glanced and saw Dong Xin Yan.
Her face immediately changed color, her hand tightened around her makeup bag, and her steps reflexively moved, hiding her at the corner.
When Gu Ningyi’s back hit the wall, a flash of surprise quickly passed through his dark eyes, but upon seeing Dong Xin Yan’s face, he coldly curled his lips, glanced down at her hand clutching his collar, looked into her eyes widened in anger, and laughed disdainfully, "What? Want to hit me again?"
Dong Xin Yan glared at Gu Ningyi fiercely, her red lips tightly pressed, her hands clenching firmly, even trembling with the urge to act.
Yes, she definitely wanted to hit him. No, she desperately, desperately wanted to hit him!
The best would be to hit him until he’s incapacitated, unable to take care of himself!
Especially now, looking at her with such disdain and speaking in such a condescending tone, Dong Xin Yan’s hand that was gripping Gu Ningyi’s collar tightened even more, the veins on the back of her hand popping out, and her other hand formed into a fist, slowly raising bit by bit.
