His brow furrowed unconsciously, and a trace of impatience and resistance surged inside him, spreading uncontrollably throughout his body. Unable to stop it, he spoke in a slightly stiff tone, "Mom, Yalin and I don’t have plans for that at the moment."
Mrs. Gu’s expression immediately darkened, "No plans yet? Ning Yi, you and Yalin have been together for so many years. When do you actually plan to marry her?"
Mrs. Gu got angry every time she mentioned it. Initially, she could accept that her son didn’t like Yalin, but later he did like her and acknowledged her as his fiancée. She originally thought that after the two graduated from college, they could directly have the wedding, and then give her a chubby, healthy grandson.
A few years ago, he used work as an excuse to postpone, but in recent years, he didn’t even bother with an excuse, dismissing her directly with the phrase that he had no plans for it yet.
The wedding was postponed year after year, without a definitive answer. Yalin, frustrated, went to the United States for more than half a year and refused to return, almost driving her to a heart attack.
Mrs. Gu’s patience had also reached its limit. She didn’t want to allow Gu Ningyi to be so perfunctory. Otherwise, she didn’t know when she would ever see him get married.
Mrs. Gu’s face turned cold as she heavily placed the teacup onto the table. She looked up, fixedly staring at Gu Ningyi, and said coldly, "Ning Yi, tell mom the truth. What do you really think? Do you still want to get married?"
Do you still want to get married...
If Mrs. Gu had asked him this question before he went to the United States, he would have answered firmly that he would get married.
Even though his feelings for Zhou Yalin had faded over the years, deep down, he still loved the girl who accompanied him through the darkness. Discover more novels at novel·fire.net
But now, his entire heart and mind was unconsciously occupied by Dong Xin Yan. Her image appeared almost constantly in his thoughts. He tried hard to restrain and suppress his emotions, but ultimately failed miserably.
It seemed his heart no longer had a place for Zhou Yalin...
Gu Ningyi’s thin lips moved slightly, attempting to say "Yes," but inexplicably, he couldn’t speak the word.
He still thought fondly of the past, but that past seemed inadequate to support his feelings for Yalin anymore.
Gu Ningyi’s silence infuriated Mrs. Gu. Her brow furrowed tightly, unable to maintain her usual dignified and graceful posture. She shouted at him, "Gu Ningyi!"
Yuan Shi had been quietly watching from the side. Observing Gu Ningyi in deep thought with his brows furrowed, her heart began to pound uncontrollably. She unconsciously clenched her hand, feeling a chilling sensation slowly creeping up her spine.
Although Gu Ningyi hadn’t previously agreed to marry Zhou Yalin, he had never explicitly refused either. But now, he was hesitating, growing impatient, and developing a sense of resistance...
A man’s feelings for a woman can vary greatly. She originally thought that even if Gu Ningyi wasn’t just playing around with Dong Xin Yan, it might simply be an interest, a bit of affection, finding something new.
If it was only this level, then Dong Xin Yan was not a threat.
But if Gu Ningyi had reached the point of not wanting to marry Zhou Yalin because of Dong Xin Yan...
No, it can’t be. Gu Ningyi doesn’t know about what happened back then. He couldn’t have suddenly developed such deep feelings for Dong Xin Yan, it can’t be, it definitely can’t be!
