Today she received those dozen slaps. To be honest, it’s all thanks to Gu Ningyi. If it weren’t for his abuse of power, the director wouldn’t have misunderstood the ambiguity between them, wouldn’t have given her special treatment in the crew, and no rumors would have spread, leading to Tang Qian’s misunderstanding and causing trouble for her.
But now, she had already taken the slaps, and it was irreversible. So at least she needed to make those slaps worthwhile.
But what was Gu Ningyi doing now? Was he ready to ruin her plans again? Couldn’t he let her go just once?
Dong Xin Yan’s hands suddenly clenched tightly. She really wanted to shout directly at Gu Ningyi, "What business is it of yours? You’re interfering too much!"
However, her reason still controlled her. She had to endure. Now wasn’t the time to fall out, no matter how angry she was, she had to endure, endure, endure! "Okay, I’ll talk," Dong Xin Yan took a deep breath and spoke helplessly. "But Mr. Gu, I declare in advance, this injury on my face really is just because of filming, no personal feelings involved."
After a pause, she bit her lower lip slightly and spoke in a low voice, "It’s... Tang Qian."
After Dong Xin Yan mentioned Tang Qian’s name, she clearly felt the aura around Gu Ningyi turn even colder, and the whole surrounding temperature seemed to drop. Dong Xin Yan’s body couldn’t help but shiver hard.
She truly didn’t understand why Gu Ningyi was so angry about her face being injured.
She wanted to say something else, but now she didn’t dare to utter even half a sentence, not even daring to make any noise while breathing, afraid of attracting Gu Ningyi’s attention and being reduced to cannon fodder again.
She stood there stiffly, standing so long that her hands and feet were going numb, only then did Gu Ningyi finally make a move.
He looked at her expressionlessly, then directly strode into the kitchen. Just as Dong Xin Yan hadn’t reacted to what he was going to do, he came back, now holding an ice pack.
He walked to Dong Xin Yan in big strides, stretched out a hand, and pulled her to sit on the sofa. He also sat down, then picked up the ice pack and applied it to her face. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovelHub(.)net
Clearly, there was still a hint of lingering anger on his face, but his actions were unexpectedly gentle and careful...
Dong Xin Yan stared wide-eyed in shock, watching Gu Ningyi’s actions, her mind suddenly going blank.
What... what is this?
Gu Ningyi suddenly being so angry because of her facial injury had already surprised her greatly. Unexpectedly, he was now being so gentle with her...
Oh my God, is this still Gu Ningyi?
Dong Xin Yan blinked incredulously, her dark eyes fixedly staring at Gu Ningyi’s face, as if trying to find some flaw on his face to see if she had recognized the wrong person.
But, as handsome and charismatic as ever, even with a sullen face and expressionless, his allure was not reduced in the slightest. Besides Gu Ningyi, who else could it be?
So, did he take the wrong medicine?
Just as Dong Xin Yan was lost in thought, a surge of pain pulled her back to consciousness. Her elegant brows couldn’t help but knit tightly, but her red lips habitually pressed together without a single cry of pain.
Gu Ningyi’s movements suddenly halted. Looking at Dong Xin Yan’s tightly knit brows, his eyes flickered slightly, and he paused, then softened his voice as much as possible, saying, "If it hurts, just cry out. I’ll... be gentler."
