Move in and live together...
Just four simple words, yet they exploded in Dong Xin Yan’s mind like a powerful bomb. She stared at Gu Ningyi in shock, her lips trembled for a while before she managed to make a sound, "Why?"
Gu Ningyi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Dong Xin Yan clenched her hands slightly, spoke with a steady voice, "I mean, why move in and live together."
The contract she signed with Gu Ningyi didn’t include this, did it?
"Dong Xin Yan, why do you ask such childish questions?"
Gu Ningyi strode towards the sofa, sat down, picked up the crystal glass from the coffee table, gracefully took a sip of wine, and then turned to look at her, saying, "Have you forgotten? For these three months, you belong to me. Whatever I want you to do, you do it, there’s no why."

Of course, she knew... During these three months, she had to listen to him. But moving in here seemed a bit too much, didn’t it?
Between them, it was just a transaction that would automatically end when the time was up, with no other relationship. But if she moved in here, what would that mean?
Moreover, the occasional need to entertain him was already exhausting enough. If she moved in, wouldn’t she have to face him even more? The thought sent a chill down Dong Xin Yan’s spine.
She unconsciously pressed her red lips together, then looked up at Gu Ningyi, thought for a moment, and replied softly, "Mr. Gu... this... isn’t quite right."
Gu Ningyi fixed his dark eyes on her without speaking. Although it was his usual lazy expression, Dong Xin Yan felt a pressure surging directly towards her.
She knew that Gu Ningyi was not someone who allowed denial; whatever he said, people were expected to obey.
But this time, she really couldn’t agree.
Dong Xin Yan took a light breath, her dark eyes spinning, her mind racing, trying to come up with a reason to convince Gu Ningyi that she didn’t have to move in.
What reason could convince Gu Ningyi?
Dong Xin Yan knitted her delicate eyebrows, racking her brain, when suddenly a light bulb went off.
If Gu Ningyi had a weakness, Dong Xin Yan thought it must be his fiancée, Zhou Yalin.
And no woman would want to see her fiancé secretly keeping another woman.
If she brought up Zhou Yalin, Gu Ningyi wouldn’t insist on her moving in, would he?
Dong Xin Yan thought so, a flash of light passed quickly in her eyes, then she continued softly, "Mr. Gu, what I mean is, it would be inappropriate for me to move in, given our relationship... More importantly, Miss Zhou would definitely be very unhappy."
The last few words Dong Xin Yan said with particular seriousness, looking at Gu Ningyi’s eyes, also particularly sincere, "Mr. Gu, I know you and Miss Zhou have always had a good relationship, and I heard you’re getting married soon. There’s no need to let me affect your relationship, right?"
After speaking, Dong Xin Yan blinked her innocent big eyes at Gu Ningyi, hoping he might change his mind.
Gu Ningyi looked into Dong Xin Yan’s clear eyes; they seemed earnest, yet he still caught a glint of cunning in them.
What she just said appeared to consider him, but in fact, it was indirectly rejecting him.
This woman had become quite clever.
