Dong Xin Yan was also making a desperate gamble, not expecting that Gu Ningyi didn't continue to push her away. A trace of hope surged in her heart, wanting to press on, but initiating a kiss with Gu Ningyi was something she did in her confusion. Now, with her mind a bit clearer, she still couldn't bring herself to throw herself at him.
Dong Xin Yan stayed still, and Gu Ningyi didn't move either. She quietly raised her eyes, stealing a glance at Gu Ningyi. His handsome face was expressionless, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable, staring at her intently, as if his gaze could swallow her whole.
Dong Xin Yan felt a shiver run down her spine under his gaze, and all her courage vanished in an instant.
It's over, she'd ruined the opportunity with her own hands, and now she'd made Gu Ningyi even more annoyed. How could he possibly let Ziyang go?
Dong Xin Yan's emotions reached the lowest point. Her hand slowly released, and she dejectedly tried to get up, but before her feet touched the ground, Gu Ningyi's hand that was gripping her arm moved slightly. One hand circled her waist, pulling her back in front of him, and the other hand held the back of her neck, pressing her face down to kiss her again.
Dong Xin Yan's eyes widened in astonishment, filled with disbelief. Just a moment ago she thought there was no hope, but unexpectedly, he would...
His kiss wasn't gentle, fierce like his temperament, vastly different from Ziyang's kiss, as gentle as a breeze. But right now, she couldn't resist...
Dong Xin Yan's hands unconsciously grasped at Gu Ningyi's shirt, her slender fingers trembling slightly. She began to grip tighter, and finally, resignedly closed her eyes.
The night was deep, all was quiet.
The wall lamp on the bedside table cast a dim, faint light on the woman's profile. The woman was very beautiful, with jet-black hair and porcelain-like skin. Having just experienced passion, a peculiar charm lingered between her brows.
She seemed utterly exhausted, her eyes closed, deeply asleep, yet the slight furrow in her brows betrayed a hint of her emotion.
Gu Ningyi sat half-reclined against the headboard, examining the sleeping woman on the bed by the light. From her delicate eyebrows and eyes to her slightly swollen red lips, his hand unconsciously reached out, wanting to touch those red lips, but halfway there, he abruptly stopped, his brow furrowing slightly.
Why would he make such a gesture? And moreover... the inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart, which had persisted since earlier, dominated his mind fully. This sense of familiarity grew stronger and stronger, almost as if... they had once been intimate.
But, how could that be? Chapters first released on novel_fіre.net
He and Dong Xin Yan indeed had known each other for many years and were indeed familiar, but they looked down on each other and were antagonistic, so there had never been any ambiguous events between them. This was the first time.
The first time kissing her, the first time sleeping with her.
Moreover, he hadn't even intended to sleep with her. It had been just like usual, finding fault with her, hurling a few humiliating words, but unexpectedly, he lost control in the end...
Gu Ningyi's brow furrowed even tighter, his dark eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement. He couldn't comprehend this inexplicable familiarity, so familiar it caused him to lose control so much.
And this familiar feeling was very much like the most desolate and depressed time of his life, the person who was there with him. But that person clearly wasn't Dong Xin Yan.
