The car completely fell silent, a silence that was extremely oppressive.
Even without turning back, Dong Xin Yan could feel Gu Ningyi’s icy sharp gaze, but at this moment, she had no mood to care about his emotions, nor the strength to deal with them.
She was already weak, and after repressing her tears earlier, she felt even more dizzy now, her head throbbing intensely, even finding it a bit difficult to breathe.
By the time the car reached the hospital, Dong Xin Yan’s consciousness was already a bit blurry. She really wanted to support herself to get out of the car, to walk into the hospital on her own for treatment, rather than letting Gu Ningyi carry her in, but her intention was greater than her strength.
She only managed to stretch out her hand to push open the car door, attempting to get out, but the moment her feet touched the ground, everything went black and her whole body collapsed softly.
In the last moment before losing consciousness, Dong Xin Yan only felt herself falling into a warm embrace, as if it was Ziyang’s arms, and then she knew nothing more.
Gu Ningyi did not expect that the moment the car stopped, Dong Xin Yan would immediately try to open the door and get out. He was momentarily stunned, trying to say something, but then saw her suddenly collapse. He didn’t have time to think, instinctively extending his arm, catching her waist with a slight exertion of force, pulling her limp body into his embrace, preventing her from falling.
Once her petite body was securely fixed in his arms, Gu Ningyi unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
The driver in the front, Uncle Li, turned back with a worried question, "Young master, is everything alright?"
Gu Ningyi replied blandly without looking at him.
Uncle Li nodded, then turned his gaze to Dong Xin Yan in Gu Ningyi’s arms. Her cheeks were redder than before, presumably burning up heavily, and it couldn’t be delayed any longer, so he said, "Young master, I think Miss Dong looks very uncomfortable, we should take her in quickly."
Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes lowered, his gaze falling on Dong Xin Yan’s face.
Her face was flushed, her delicate features tightly furrowed in discomfort, tear stains lingering at the corners of her eyes, and her usually beautiful pink lips looked pale, appearing extremely pitiable.
Gu Ningyi took a deep breath, cursing softly under his breath.
Damn it! He was being affected by this woman again.
He shouldn’t let it happen, yet he still lost control and opened his mouth to say to Uncle Li, "Drive, go to Yuan Shi’s place."
Uncle Li was stunned for a long moment by Gu Ningyi’s words, until Gu Ningyi impatiently furrowed his brows and spoke again, "I said, drive!"
Only then did Uncle Li snap back to reality, promptly agreeing and quickly starting the car, stepping on the gas and leaving.
Dong Xin Yan didn’t know how long she had slept. When she groggily opened her eyes, the sky had completely darkened.
Lying on the bed, Dong Xin Yan stared blankly at the ceiling for a while before realizing she was in the hospital, this should be a ward.
She remembered fainting, so... it was Gu Ningyi who carried her into the hospital, right? Then... tomorrow’s entertainment headline would be hers, wouldn’t it? ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI★Fire.net
How would they write about her?
No need to think, surely whatever sensational, whatever grabs attention, that’s what they’ll write, right?
Perhaps... her sleeping with a rich man? Scheming to rise? Or miscarriage and abortion?
Dong Xin Yan didn’t want to think about those troubling things, she shook her head lightly, her gaze unintentionally sweeping towards a figure by the window, and her eyes suddenly froze!
