Afraid that he would regret it the next second, and pull her back, pressing her onto the bed.
As they brushed past each other, Dong Xin Yan didn’t pause for a moment, like a breeze, gently passing by, quickly leaving no trace.
Gu Ningyi’s hand unconsciously reached forward, as if wanting to grasp something, but in the end, his hand slowly curled up, little by little.
What if he did grasp it?
It’s not his to own, nor could he bear to harm it, so he could only let go.
Gu Ningyi’s thin lips curved slightly, full of self-mockery and sorrow.
Dong Xin Yan ran to the door, hand on the lock, just about to twist it open when she suddenly remembered something, and the half-twisted lock was immediately stopped.
Her mood hadn’t recovered, tear stains remained on her face, the fear in her dark eyes had not dissipated; she desperately wanted to leave, the farther from Gu Ningyi, the better.
But... what about Ziyang?
Gu Ningyi’s merciless words still echoed in her ears, she didn’t doubt the truth in his words at all. If he really refused to let Ziyang go, even if Zhou Yalin helped her, it might not really set Ziyang free.
She couldn’t leave now, at least not before getting his agreement to release Ziyang.
However, now, if she didn’t leave, and if Gu Ningyi suddenly turned ruthless again, what would she do?
Dong Xin Yan’s hand clenched bit by bit, gripping tightly, nails digging hard into her skin, eyebrows furrowed, pearly teeth biting her lip, caught in a dilemma.
Gu Ningyi heard Dong Xin Yan stop her steps, his heart trembled fiercely, but he dared not think of anything, not even daring to turn to look.
After longing so many times, hoping so many times, being self-indulgent so many times, now even his imagination had to be cautious.
Gu Ningyi waited for a while, still not hearing Dong Xin Yan open the door to leave, his heart uncontrollably began to pound, beating faster and faster, yet he still did not turn around, his body rigid, standing fixed in place.
Dong Xin Yan thought it over again and again, tangled over and over, measured over and over, finally swallowing hard, fiercely suppressing the fear in her heart, slowly released the hand gripping the door lock, then, with some trepidation, she turned step by step, slowly turning around.
Her movements were very light, almost inaudible, yet Gu Ningyi could hear her every move clearly, his heartbeat sped up, even his breathing became slightly stilled.
Once Dong Xin Yan stood still, raising her dark eyes slightly, looking at the tall figure by the bed, her body couldn’t help but shiver a little, she could only lean against the door, struggling to stabilize her body, taking deep breaths to try to relax, finally speaking in a low voice, "Mr. Gu."

Gu Ningyi’s breath instantly held, his body had a slight tremble, his thin lips tightly pressed, saying nothing, as if fearing that speaking would betray all his emotions.
Dong Xin Yan bit her teeth hard, secretly bolstered herself, continuing to speak word by word, "If you have anger towards me, you can take it out on me, but... please keep your promise, let Ziyang go."
Her voice, low and trembling, clearly so frightened, yet for Cheng Ziyang, she stopped moving.
And he, clearly no longer had any imagination or expectations, but why could her one sentence still fiercely pierce his heart.
