At the thought of this, Dong Xin Yan’s heart trembled uncontrollably, making her even more reluctant to walk over. She wondered if she could just quietly turn around and go upstairs, pretending she hadn’t seen Gu Ningyi at all?
Better to avoid it for as long as she could!
Dong Xin Yan glanced up slightly, taking another look at Gu Ningyi. Seeing that he was still engrossed in the newspaper in his hand, she held her breath, pressed her lips together, and silently began to turn around step by step. However, just as her body was halfway turned, Gu Ningyi folded the newspaper in his hand, placed it back on the coffee table, and then looked up, his gaze landing squarely on Dong Xin Yan.
Dong Xin Yan’s movements came to an abrupt halt, and she stood awkwardly frozen on the spot.
It seemed every time she was about to do something, Gu Ningyi would somehow catch her red-handed. Did he have a surveillance system installed on her?
Dong Xin Yan secretly pouted.
Since Gu Ningyi had seen her, she couldn’t go upstairs now. Dong Xin Yan stood there for a few seconds, took a light breath, and then slowly walked towards Gu Ningyi.
When she was two steps away from Gu Ningyi, she stopped, forced a slight smile, and tried her best to speak in a calm and composed voice, "Mr. Gu, good morning!"
Gu Ningyi leaned casually against the back of the chair, glanced at her indifferently, and said, "It’s not early."
Uh, it was already past ten, almost eleven, and the sun was high in the sky outside. Indeed... it wasn’t early.
Dong Xin Yan gave an awkward chuckle, at a loss for words momentarily.
The atmosphere suddenly felt a bit stagnant.
Gu Ningyi glanced up at her, his thin lips lightly parted, and asked, "Sober now?"
Those three words made Dong Xin Yan’s back stiffen sharply, her hands involuntarily clasped together, fingers tightly intertwined. Gu Ningyi asking this question, did it really mean that she had done something inappropriate the previous night?
However, Gu Ningyi’s face was calm, his tone indifferent, devoid of any emotion, leaving her unable to discern his intentions.
No matter what, she had to stay calm and, above all, figure out what she had done last night.
Dong Xin Yan unconsciously licked her dry lips and replied in a low voice, "Yes, I’m sober now."
After a pause, her voice lowered further as she continued, "Mr. Gu, um, every time I get drunk, I’m not very well-behaved, so... yesterday, I’m not sure if I did anything... I shouldn’t have done to you?" Googlᴇ search NoveIＦire.net
"Something you shouldn’t have?"
Gu Ningyi’s expression remained unchanged, with just a hint of a not-quite-smile on his lips, he asked indifferently back.
His demeanor, his tone—why did it seem like he was about to settle accounts?
Dong Xin Yan’s heart pounded twice more rapidly, and she couldn’t help but swallow. Instantly, she surrendered, "Mr. Gu, I was drunk yesterday, so whatever I did, it must have been unintentional, absolutely not on purpose. Please, don’t take it seriously!"
Gu Ningyi didn’t speak immediately, but instead fixed a steady gaze on Dong Xin Yan, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable, making Dong Xin Yan feel her scalp prickling and her body involuntarily trembling. She lowered her eyelids, her delicate brows tightly furrowed.
Oh no, her guess turned out to be correct. Gu Ningyi staying at the villa was just to settle scores later. My God, what stupid thing did she do yesterday?
Just as Dong Xin Yan was silently lamenting in her heart, Gu Ningyi finally spoke up.
