Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes were as deep as a cold pool, staring at her menacingly. Dong Xin Yan just felt the cold sweat slowly seeping out of her back.
If she could, she really wanted to say something for herself, but the facts were right in front of her. What else could she say? At this point, lying would only add fuel to the fire.
Dong Xin Yan pressed her lips together, unable to say a word.
Gu Ningyi looked at her silent demeanor, the coldness in his eyes deepened. He curled his lips, yet there was not a trace of a smile, "Speak up, don’t you usually have plenty of excuses? Go on, see if you can fool me this time."
The word "fool" was spoken lightly by Gu Ningyi, yet it sent shivers down Dong Xin Yan’s spine.
She knew, tonight it would not be easy to get past this. If she kept silent and Gu Ningyi got angry and decided to sue Ziyang, she would really be at a loss.
Dong Xin Yan forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart, tried to calm herself down, slowly organized her words, and then spoke in a low voice, "I... I’m sorry, I... I lied. I, I didn’t have my period."
While speaking, Dong Xin Yan unconsciously glanced at Gu Ningyi’s expression. Seeing his eyes become even more chilling after she finished speaking, Dong Xin Yan’s thick eyelashes trembled, and she hurriedly continued, "But... but I really do have something important tonight, that’s why I..."
Before Dong Xin Yan could finish, Gu Ningyi coldly interrupted her, mercilessly mocking, "Drinking with men, letting them be handsy, is that what you call important?" Google seaʀᴄh novel※fire.net
These words were truly harsh, so harsh that Dong Xin Yan’s delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed.
But now she couldn’t get angry. Dong Xin Yan stubbornly suppressed her anger, patiently continued to explain, "It’s not like that. I came to meet the director tonight. There was a misunderstanding between the director and me, so I wanted to clear it up. It’s not what you think."
Pausing for a moment, Dong Xin Yan said seriously, "I didn’t let anyone be handsy."
Although Dong Xin Yan didn’t say what the matter was, what kind of misunderstanding can there be between an actor and a director? It’s nothing more than offending the director, not being able to film the role, so she had to accompany the director and the producer for drinks, letting people take advantage, or getting involved in unspoken rules to keep the role.
Such things are commonplace in the entertainment circle.
In Gu Ningyi’s mind, the image of Tang Yan holding Dong Xin Yan reappeared uncontrollably. Tang Yan was practically glued to her, the two of them laughing, drinking, and, in the end, he held Dong Xin Yan, about to kiss her. If he hadn’t intervened, the two would’ve kissed. This is what she called not letting anyone be handsy?
The more Gu Ningyi thought about it, the angrier he got, and he spoke with a cold sneer, "Not let anyone be handsy? Tang Yan was practically glued to you, almost undressing you on the spot, and you were still smiling at him. Is this what you call not letting anyone be handsy?"
Just thinking about those scenes tonight, the anger was uncontrollable, making his words even more piercing, "Or maybe, you actually enjoyed it!"
These few words stabbed Dong Xin Yan, making her face turn deathly pale.
All these years, no matter how sharp-tongued Gu Ningyi was or how unpleasant his words were, Dong Xin Yan could take it in one ear and let it out the other. But now, what he said was too hurtful, and too excessive.
