Dong Xin Yan and Yuan Shi’s gaze simultaneously swept towards the doorway. The man leaned lazily against the doorframe, his dark eyes deep and his handsome face as cold as ever. His gaze lightly swept over Dong Xin Yan, then settled on Yuan Shi’s face, with a slight curve on his lips that showed no hint of a smile in his eyes.
"If you want to ask something, go ahead."
His tone was light, very casual, with a trace of a lazy accent, yet it sent a chill down one’s spine involuntarily.
Both Dong Xin Yan and Yuan Shi were momentarily stunned by his offhand remark, neither knew what to say.
But when Dong Xin Yan came to her senses, she quickly felt a small trace of relief. Although she disliked Gu Ningyi, his appearance at this moment undeniably helped her a lot; otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to answer Yuan Shi’s interrogation and feared saying something wrong out of carelessness, which would be troublesome.
She sneaked a glance at Gu Ningyi for the first time, finding his cold face somewhat adorable rather than intimidating, and quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Yuan Shi hadn’t expected that Gu Ningyi hadn’t left; she was sure she saw him leave before entering the room again, not expecting him to return.
Now, looking at Gu Ningyi’s expression and the gaze he cast on her, her body couldn’t help but tremble lightly. Knowing him since childhood, she was all too clear on what this expression and gaze from Gu Ningyi meant.
But, would he really be angry with her because of Dong Xin Yan?
She was only speculating about the relationship between him and Dong Xin Yan, but now it seems that there is definitely something going on between them!
Her heart grew slightly sore, then uncontrollably surged with anger. She clenched the medical record folder tightly, wanting to directly confront Gu Ningyi about what his relationship with Dong Xin Yan was!
Yet before she could impulsively blurt it out, the remnants of her rationality stopped her.
She and Gu Ningyi were merely friends now; even being closer, they were just childhood friends. She had no right to question him after all; she wasn’t his girlfriend or fiancée.
Yuan Shi closed her eyes briefly, took a deep breath, shedding her aggressive stance. When she opened her eyes, the chill in her was gone. She then looked up at Gu Ningyi, her lips curved into a mild smile.
When she spoke, her voice became gentle, "Yi, I was just a little curious, you know. You’ve never gotten along well with Xinyan since childhood, yet you brought her to the hospital this time, so I just asked."
Hearing Yuan Shi utter these two words, Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but shiver.
Since childhood, Yuan Shi had always looked down on her, despised her, never calling her anything other than by her full name or even occasionally just calling her the driver’s daughter. This was the first time she had heard Yuan Shi call her so endearingly, feeling goosebumps all over.
Moreover, look at her now, smiling as warmly as a spring breeze, speaking in such a gentle voice...
Dong Xin Yan could only say, those so-called actors and actresses in the entertainment circle were totally weak compared to these so-called high society people.
They could all really act! Everyday life was a constant performance!
Even though she had grown up seeing the faces of these people, she still couldn’t get used to it. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel✦fire.net
She knew in her heart, now that Yuan Shi was saying these words, she was just trying to find herself a way to back down gracefully.
