But halfway through raising her hand, she suddenly remembered that she had agreed with Ziyang to fly to the Aegean Sea for a vacation tomorrow. At this moment, it would be best to endure if possible and avoid any unexpected incidents, otherwise... who knows what might happen.
Neither she nor Ziyang could afford any more turmoil.
Dong Xin Yan slowly released her tightly clenched fist, stiffly curled her lips, then pulled open the car door, bent down to sit inside, and shut the door with a bang,
a sound loud enough to express her inner discontent.
Gu Ningyi looked at her puffed cheeks. He was not angry; instead, the gentle light in his eyes grew more intense. He turned his dark eyes towards the driver and said lightly, "Drive."
The car moved slowly. Dong Xin Yan gloomily stared out the window for a few seconds before she remembered Wenwen. She hurriedly took out her phone from her bag, called Wenwen, briefly explained, and hung up.
The car returned suddenly to quietness, so quiet it was unsettling. Dong Xin Yan unconsciously glanced up, only to find Gu Ningyi staring at her. Her eyes unexpectedly met his deep black ones.
It wasn’t the kind of intense gaze that usually made people feel pressured, but rather, a deep one, vaguely filled with tenderness and doting affection.
Dong Xin Yan was taken aback; the unease in her heart was even deeper than when he used to coldly stare at her.
What was wrong with Gu Ningyi?
Why... did she feel that today, he seemed different?
The chill surrounding him was less, replaced by warmth, and his eyes... seemed to look at her as if looking at a close lover.
When this thought surfaced in her mind, Dong Xin Yan shivered. Every time he behaved oddly, something bad would happen. What was he planning this time?
Dong Xin Yan lowered her eyes slightly, avoiding Gu Ningyi’s gaze. She took a quiet breath, carefully considering her words, and softly said, "Mr. Gu, if you have anything to say, please go ahead now."
Gu Ningyi noticed her unease and anxiety. His black eyes darkened slightly, and he slowly withdrew his gaze, even discreetly moved a little further from her to lessen her sense of pressure, and then replied quietly, "No hurry." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel✶fire.net
In fact, he was very anxious inside, anxious to ask her many questions, anxious to know why she didn’t remember him. But... he longed more to just stay with her, even if they didn’t speak a word. Every extra minute or second was precious.
He wasn’t in a hurry, but she was extremely anxious.
Being with him felt like walking on a tightrope every second, fearing that one wrong step would lead to a disastrous fall.
Dong Xin Yan tried to endure but eventually couldn’t, furrowing her brows, lowering her voice, and said, "Mr. Gu, if you really have something to say, could you just say it directly? I still have an appointment with someone."
Gu Ningyi narrowed his dark eyes, his voice slightly heavy, "Cheng Ziyang?"
It was only then that Dong Xin Yan realized what she had said. Her red lips pressed tightly, a flash of fear appeared in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She had nothing to do with him anymore, so why should she be afraid of him? Dong Xin Yan kept a stiff face and said coldly, "None of your business. If you have something to say, say it. If not, please stop the car."
Looking at the impatience suppressed in her eyes and the cold tone in her voice, Gu Ningyi clenched his hands tightly, his heart fiercely stabbing with pain.
She was clearly his girl, so why... was she so heartless to him? He merely wanted to... spend a little more time with her; was that so intolerable?
