But before her hand could press it, her wrist was forcefully grabbed again, and then Yuan Shen, without giving her a choice, directly pulled her out of the elevator. A few hours ago, what Gu Ningyi had done to her was still swirling in her mind, scene after scene clearly flashing before her eyes. Fear and unease surged simultaneously, and she didn’t know where she got the strength from, but she managed to fling Yuan Shen’s hand away with brute force. Due to the impact, she staggered several steps before barely standing steady.
Her face was pale. Perhaps she was terrified to the extreme, she unexpectedly screamed at Yuan Shen without care, "I said, I don’t want to see Gu Ningyi!"
Yuan Shen was momentarily shocked when Dong Xin Yan flung him away, but hearing her yell, his expression completely darkened, and his gaze at her was as if frozen in ice, "Dong Xin Yan, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Dong Xin Yan was inexplicably scolded, "Yuan Shen, what do you mean?"
After asking this question, Dong Xin Yan seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly added, "Have you misunderstood something?"
Yuan Shen’s attitude towards her had been somewhat strange before, and now it seemed he had a deep misunderstanding of her.
Dong Xin Yan composed herself, took a breath, and without waiting for Yuan Shen to speak, continued to explain, "Maybe you’ve heard some rumors and thought I have some relationship with Gu Ningyi, but we have no relationship at all. Those rumors are fake. It was just a deal between Gu Ningyi and me, and now that our deal is over, there’s no need for me to meet Gu Ningyi anymore."
The words Yuan Shen was about to say were swallowed back. His brow furrowed, and his dark eyes stared intently at Dong Xin Yan, "Deal? What deal?"
So it turns out that Gu Ningyi hadn’t told Yuan Shen anything...
Dong Xin Yan swallowed and softly began, "That is, Gu Ningyi asked me to pretend to be a couple with him and act in a play, in order to... provoke Miss Zhou, and he would release Ziyang."
Yuan Shen paused for a large moment, then somewhat incredulously spoke, "Yi, told you that?"
Gu Ningyi, it seems, had never been so straightforward, Dong Xin Yan unconsciously lowered her eyes, her gaze somewhat hesitant and flickering, "He, he didn’t directly say it, but... he hinted at it..."
Before she could finish, Yuan Shen already let out a cold laugh.
Some things, no need to ask, he already knew the answer.
Why did Yi have a car accident on Christmas Eve, so it was because of this.
He would never forget the tone when Yi called him to tell him that Dong Xin Yan had agreed to attend the banquet. The always indifferent and aloof man was surprisingly excited, like a big boy, sharing his happiness with his good friend.
Although his voice remained calm and collected, it couldn’t suppress the joy and happiness hidden within.
This was him... the first time since he lost his sight at eighteen, seeing him so happy.
Dong Xin Yan’s dress, shoes, he accompanied Yi to pick them. The man who would never personally go shopping for clothes was so serious, so meticulous, looking at each piece, selecting each piece.
At that time, he even teased and complained to him, two grown men shopping for women’s clothing was too effeminate, anyone would think they were good buddies!
And that Heart of the Ocean.
He didn’t know how he got it from Su Chen, but he knew he must have racked his brains.
All these years, even for Zhou Yalin, he had never made such an effort, but for Dong Xin Yan, he put in one hundred percent of his effort. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fire·net
