Misfortune never comes alone.
Dong Xin Yan initially thought that if she felt cold, a bit of exercise would warm her up, but the next second, she suddenly felt a drop of water fall on her face.
At first, Dong Xin Yan didn’t realize what it was, only reflexively lifted her head slightly, and then one, two, three drops of water followed, crashing down.
Dong Xin Yan opened her eyes wide in disbelief—was it raining?
As this thought flashed through her mind, raindrops began to pound the earth, and the downpour became intense and fierce. It was soon a torrential rain, and Dong Xin Yan stood staring in a daze for a few seconds before finally reacting, hurriedly taking shelter under the eaves.
But the rain was too heavy, slanting in, and the eaves weren’t wide enough. Despite Dong Xin Yan’s best efforts to avoid it, she was inevitably soaked by the rain.
Already cold, now with her clothes wet, Dong Xin Yan shivered even more violently from the chill.
Dong Xin Yan sincerely felt that the heavens must be playing with her, as misfortunes never came singly, each time something worse always followed.
She glared somewhat indignantly at the dark, overcast sky, muttering: "Can you not make me more unlucky?"
Suddenly, a clap of thunder roared, and a blinding flash of lightning streaked across Dong Xin Yan’s sight, terrifying her pale, as she quickly covered her ears with her hands and crouched down.
At this moment, Gu Ningyi was holding a video conference in his study when he suddenly heard a rumble of thunder in his ears. Instinctively, he turned his head to look outside the window.
A flash of lightning streaked past, as if trying to slice through the night, so bright it hurt the eyes.
Gu Ningyi stared at the lightning for a few seconds, something suddenly coming to mind, his dark eyes slightly shadowed, he abruptly stood up from his chair, striding out of the study.
Leaving the group of people in the video behind, all looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what just happened to their Boss...
Gu Ningyi dashed downstairs, ran to the main entrance, and forcefully pulled the door open, and, as expected, there was Dong Xin Yan curled up under the eaves, her whole body trembling, her hands tightly covering her ears, her eyes scrunched shut, her face white as a sheet.
That rumbling thunder continued to roll on, her body trembling more and more violently, her face growing even more pale.
Dong Xin Yan had always been a fearless ’tomboy’ since she was little. This update is available on novel✦fire.net
When they were young, Gu Ningyi used to play all kinds of pranks on her, such as throwing all kinds of bugs into her backpack, locking her alone in a bathroom, or dressing up as a ghost in the middle of the night to scare her, even dragging her to ride roller coasters. Yet, she never once got scared of him. She even remained unflustered, disdainfully calling his tricks childish!
Gu Ningyi had really never seen a woman like Dong Xin Yan, she didn’t seem like a woman at all!
So, for a period of time, he continuously sought something that could scare Dong Xin Yan.
Then, by chance, he overheard Uncle Dong mention that Dong Xin Yan was very afraid of thunderstorms during rain. At the sound of thunder, she’d tremble all over in fright.
Upon hearing this, he didn’t believe it at the time.
Someone like Dong Xin Yan, scared of thunder and lightning?
However, having finally found Dong Xin Yan’s weakness, he naturally wanted to verify it.
So, on a stormy night, he dragged Dong Xin Yan out of the house, drove her to the outskirts, and then left her there alone.
