Gu Ningyi’s hand clenched tightly, then slowly relaxed, he turned around, slightly raised his eyes, a hint of sarcasm barely flickering in his eyes, "Coming for you? What do you have that would make me come for you?"
In Dong Xin Yan’s mind, she couldn’t help but picture the scene from just moments ago, her heart tightening violently, even though her back was against the door, she unconsciously wanted to retreat. Follow current novᴇls on noᴠelfire.net
Even though he couldn’t see her expression, he could feel her shrinking back, the mockery in his eyes deepened, but only for a moment, he dropped his eyelids, his long, thick eyelashes covered them, casting a shadow around his eye sockets.
His face was clearly calm and indifferent, yet faintly exuded traces of sorrow, stifling the heart, oppressing.
He did not speak again, instead, he turned around, once more feeling for the phone on the bedside table, picked it up, fumbled to dial a number.
After two rings, it was picked up, the voice was very respectful, "Mr. Gu."
"Withdraw my accusation against Cheng Ziyang, release him." Gu Ningyi’s thin lips parted lightly, his voice low, the words slow yet firm.
Dong Xin Yan suddenly lifted her eyes, staring blankly at Gu Ningyi, her jet-black eyes wide with surprise and disbelief. She had thought... he would go back on his word, or continue to make things difficult for her... She hadn’t expected he would... really let Ziyang go?
After Gu Ningyi hung up the phone, he didn’t look at her again, turned to the side, his hand gripping the phone tightly, he spoke, "As you wished, you may go."
Dong Xin Yan still stood there in a daze, not knowing if she was too shocked or something else, unable to react for a moment.
Gu Ningyi did not hear her move, his dark eyes slowly darkened, thin lips tightly pressed, his voice carried a hint of aggression as he spoke again, "Dong Xin Yan, I told you to leave, did you hear me?"
Dong Xin Yan was startled by his sudden aggressiveness, but still couldn’t immediately regain her senses, her eyes remained wide open in a daze.
Gu Ningyi suddenly let out a laugh, extremely mocking, he abruptly turned around, staring fiercely at the blurred figure before him, a wicked smile at the corner of his lips, voice lowered to an extreme danger, "Or, do you want to stay?"
As he spoke, he began to stride towards her.
Dong Xin Yan’s whole body shook violently, her consciousness yanked back in an instant, without thinking, she immediately turned, pulled open the door of the hospital room, and quickly walked out.
The door slammed shut, Gu Ningyi’s extended step hadn’t even hit the ground yet, for a second it froze mid-air, finally, he slowly moved back, standing still.
After all... he still couldn’t bear it.
Couldn’t bear to force her, couldn’t bear to hurt her, couldn’t bear her... being sad.
So even though it was so difficult, so unwilling, he still let her go, let her lover go.
And she left so decisively, so eagerly.
With this departure, she would... completely walk out of his world, wouldn’t she?
Completely, out of his world.
She never belonged to him, did she? He was the one who forcibly dragged her into it, wasn’t he?
But why, does it still hurt so much?
As if something was violently crashing into his heart, so much that his feet suddenly lost balance, he staggered back two steps, and with a loud thud, fell to the ground.
He groaned softly, his brows furrowed tightly, hand bracing against the bed, trying to support himself to stand, however...
