Dong Xin Yan blinked her large eyes, still unable to react. Gu Ningyi’s grip on her shoulder unconsciously tightened slightly, his voice deepening, "Answer me!"
The pain in her shoulder brought Dong Xin Yan back to her senses. She was about to protest, but seeing Gu Ningyi’s extremely serious expression, his thin lips tightly pressed together, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable, with something seemingly floating beneath them, her protest silently swallowed back.
She recalled the question Gu Ningyi had just asked, feeling a sense of déjà vu, as if... he had asked her a similar question before?
Back then, hadn’t she already answered him? Why was he asking again now?
Although Dong Xin Yan didn’t understand, she didn’t ask much. She just answered him truthfully, "After Dad and I moved out, we haven’t returned to the Gu Family, and of course, I haven’t seen you."
Dong Xin Yan answered quite naturally, and in fact, it was natural. If it weren’t for Dad being a driver for the Gu Family, she and the Gu Family wouldn’t have any connection whatsoever. After Dad was fired, the two of them moved out. How could they possibly return to the Gu Family? And someone like Gu Ningyi, she wouldn’t have seen him at all. Besides, at that time, she didn’t want to see him at all, okay!
If it hadn’t been for him, how could her dad have gotten fired and lost their livelihood?
The treatment from the Gu Family was indeed quite good, so Dad could support her and take care of her chronically ill grandma. But also because of grandma’s treatment, Dad didn’t have any savings, and then he was suddenly fired. Even Gu Ningyi’s car accident was blamed on Dad’s negligence, which spread throughout the entire circle. Dad lost his credibility, and no one was willing to hire him. During that time, they lived extremely hard. Every time she saw Dad hanging his head in frustration while pretending to be fine in front of her, she couldn’t help but hate Gu Ningyi.
Later, when she heard he had gone blind, she even gloatingly cursed him, saying he deserved it!
However, she definitely dared not say this in front of Gu Ningyi.
Never returned to the Gu Family... and never saw him...
Dong Xin Yan’s words clearly entered Gu Ningyi’s ears, one word at a time. The gleam in his eyes trembled fiercely. He pressed his lips together, his dark eyes fixedly staring at Dong Xin Yan, watching intently, trying to find any trace of a lie on her face.
However, Dong Xin Yan remained calm from beginning to end, her eyes meeting his, her gaze clear and bright.
A liar, no matter how good their acting is, under unprepared circumstances, couldn’t possibly have such an expression. So Dong Xin Yan indeed didn’t lie... New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
If she didn’t lie, then the one who took care of him that year was indeed Yalin, not her, Dong Xin Yan. But if that’s the case, then why do some of Dong Xin Yan’s memories overlap with his? Why does he have those inexplicable feelings towards her?
Could it be that all of these feelings are just illusions?
But he knew very well in his heart that this was real, it wasn’t an illusion.
Gu Ningyi’s handsome face darkened, his dark eyes showing complex emotions, his brow furrowing tightly.
Seeing Gu Ningyi’s face suddenly darken, Dong Xin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. Did she say something wrong again?
Dong Xin Yan carefully recalled what she had just said, and indeed, there was nothing wrong!
